@carolyneholmes.bsky.socialIf your name happens to be Mike, I’m just saying…don’t debate anyone tonight. It’s a bad night for Mikes on mikes.

@carolyneholmes.bsky.social@carolyneholmes.bsky.socialMy 9 year old defines socialism as being required to finish homework and correct mistakes. My 6 year old defines socialism as having to eat broccoli.
@carolyneholmes.bsky.socialThe campus rock that students can paint says "Stop defending rapists" this morning. It is really depressing to list all the possible reasons that the students would choose to paint that in this moment.
@carolyneholmes.bsky.socialPatriotism may be the last virtue of the scoundrel… …but “do it for the exposure” is the last refuge of the exploiter.
@carolyneholmes.bsky.socialAs in a bias tape folding machine so it can be ironed? Ive got a little clip that you can use with your iron, but in my experience, you don’t really need one, as long as you can put pins through your ironing board cover, à la:
