but seriously if you know anyone involved in the ballroom dance community in maryland, they might be interested to know “sam” and his new wife kate are very enthusiastic participants! and she’s running for a seat on the county GOP committee in frederick.
i wonder if his ballroom dancing class knows who he really is. he goes by sam in his personal life.
It's grim work, but @socialistdogmom.bsky.social is doing a fantastic job at ripping off the veneer of civility in America. I learned a very polished version of the struggle for black civil rights in high-school (90's).They never taught us about any of the topics Molly covers.
This is one of the most powerful episodes of a podcast I've ever heard. I've said before that Molly Conger is one of the best people creating podcasts and this episode is the proof.
TW: this is about the life of a man killed by a racist serial killer and it will make you cry (at a minimum)
oh i’m teasing
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

sorry again for making everyone cry
i will not be investigating this further, this is already too much for me to know

truly my only memory of that night was screaming, between sobs, that i wanted to die. never felt anything like it before or since.
They will thank you for your service because that is all they want from you: your service to them. Once that usefulness has ended…
i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.
exactly! i can drink coffee all day but it’s only like 12oz of coffee
no one can stop me
my trick for drinking more water is to put way too many ice cubes in my coffee. just a big mason jar full of extremely watered down coffee. drink half, add more cubes. repeat all day. who cares what it tastes like. it tastes like vanilla creamer. i’m hydrated and thriving.
he has a very particular set of tastes, we read confederacy of dunces before name of the rose
oh we just read name of the rose! i didn’t expect to love it. my husband reads to me at night because i can’t be to finish a novel.
funny coincidence, i chose it from this line up - we have black flame in the mix for our next novel.
fascinating choices top to bottom here. just baffling from every angle.
i just keep saying it louder and louder at my husband
i’ve been posting a lot less lately because most stuff i want to say can only be said inside my home to the person who can invoke spousal privilege if asked to testify about what i said 🥰
Hiring the dregs of Liberty Law School for the DOJ is the legal equivalent of drafting 13-year-olds into the infantry
they just think we're hanging out on the couch, which they love. don't tell them about war.
frantically checking in to see if there's anything i can do about the situation but so far it seems really out of my hands
i have tabs open for the live updates on the war from five different news outlets and i’m flipping back and forth between them like there going to have different information. probably just gonna lie on the couch and do that for an hour or two. just war scrollin’.
please subscribe to my podcast, i think you will "like" it
based on my calculations, the 500,000th scripted word i have written for my podcast is "like."
perfect, no notes. thousands of hours spent researching and writing and for the big milestone, "like."
Over half of albemarle county was liberated from slavery that day as the Union line reached them, including hundreds of people held in captivity by the university's professors, students, and the school itself.
Today is Liberation and Freedom Day In Charlottesville!
March 3, 1865, is when word of liberation from slavery reached the area.
A reminder below that much of what we experience as Cville/UVA culture was built by enslaved individuals & families.

i love to open up my phone and say things like, ‘oh the markets are in turmoil this morning hmmm’ or ‘there’s trouble brewing in the strait of hormuz” as if that’s anything i can deal with
