Great read on the TallBull Memorial Council, their stewardship of buffalo in Denver, and their annual ceremonial harvest.

This is an exceedingly delicate and well-reported piece about a hard topic

Checking in on MechaHitler

The article shows you Gaines' nonsensical claims to be a protector of women fighting against abusive men contrasted by her support for her terrible swimming coach who did actual harm to his athletes & employees. She defends the one who had power, ofc. This is a woman who only values punching down

"The way Grambo sees it, it’s a numbers game. If he can draw the attention of officers to himself, perhaps fewer immigrants will get swept up, and that’s a win. “I know I can’t stop them,” he said, “but if I can suck up their time, then at least I can help some people.”" This is the way.

I’m sorry that I don’t have anything intelligent to say right now because I am so fucking angry www.newsweek.com/nursing-not-...

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

The fake blood and animatronics are ready, but you can't locate Mr. Nicholas Coppola? Problematic Cage gap

we should feed everybody actually all the time there is no reason for anyone to be hungry and/or homeless

Don't forget about LA. The feds never left (& won't be leaving until at least 2028). The people will continue to fight. * data below as of November 1 from @lapublicpress.bsky.social

If I can give 3 pieces of unsolicited advice to people facing ICE/CBP: 1) go outside 2) meet your neighbors 3) be loud They want you to be isolated and afraid so they can work in secret, control the narrative, and act with impunity. They lose power when we see what’s happening and to whom.

Please? #MutualAid We're going through every donation we get just for daily survival because its trickling in. Its been 2 days since the last & bills keep hitting. I need to have an EpiPen on hand. linktr.ee/wylder

People had questions, like "Are there apples that taste & crunch like Honeycrisp? But without the existential rage about being alive?" Yep! Let's talk about them!

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

I'll also repeat this: the toy is a displacement for a parent or guardian because it's the parents' job to shield or not a child from this and other content. A company's product will never factually replace the true role of a mother, but they can and will try. bsky.app/profile/oliv... 8/n

If your big tent is large enough to accommodate Nazis, then it’s a Nazi tent.

It's that time of the year when the rotting Halloween pumpkins start delivering tremendous bug content. I got these shots of Pheidole dentata ants successfully hunting fruit fly adults and larvae in the muck.

Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

i really think i saw this on here long ago and now i cant find it and so maybe i made it up but anyway here it is

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor

The definition of audacity: ICE asking WA tribes to host detention centers. They got a very polite “fuck off.” “The Nisqually people are not in favor of, nor will the tribal council allow, the detention of individuals by ICE on our reservation or in our facilities.” - Tribal Chair E.K. Choke

reminder that Dubs, Washington’s live mascot, is an ABSOLUTE UNIT

Acknowledging the dead would mean acknowledging the catastrophic public health/economic/policy failure that made the body count so high in the first place There were a few moments in that first year where we nearly got something, but that amounted to an NYT full spread of names and a CNN clicker

You get the feeling Hegseth simply asked Grok to name these?

This sounds like porn for white supremacists.

one of my "counterintuitive facts that explains everything" facts is that without new construction cities get less dense as they gentrify, bc wealthier households have fewer kids and fewer people per bedroom

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

This is it, really. In the US, the fact that most people had to drive or be driven an hour or more out of town to get to a casino--or fly to the Casino State--in order to gamble is what's known in design as 'friction.' It puts a lot of speedbumps between the urge and its satisfaction.

All these years, all those bullshit products, and my skincare holy grail turned out to be something I can brew at home with sea salt and bottled water (hypochlorous acid)

"criminal" is an arbitrary label invented by the state that it brands onto anyone who the state wants to persecute or make disposable to have a criminal record is simply to have been at one time swept up into the penal system for any number of arbitrary reasons

It is going to be really funny when JD Vance inevitably Fucks Around and gets himself excommunicated

We really need to stop allowing the fascists to dictate how we talk. They've openly said that even criticizing them is criminal. Anyone who isn't them is a "criminal" in their eyes. They don't believe in due process. Literally no one deserves to be kidnapped off the street and disappeared

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑 Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for. We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

This may not be entirely fair but a reason I don’t think mayor Pete has It is because he polled zero percent among Black voters, the demographic which - can’t say this without sounding condescending but - usually gets it right, early, when it comes to candidates
