I despise having to crate my dog at night, but then I realize that even if she was a human, I'd be ranting at her to go back to her room and go to bed. Kids are gonna kid, and sometimes you just must feel guilty about your kids, I guess.

Possibly unpopular opinion? I think artists should get to sign the art they make for book covers. It should be right there, on the front, because it’s never been more important to showcase the humanness of art. And also there are many times when I see a beautiful cover and wonder, “Who made this?”

I know that my autistic brain tends to oversimplify everything but it seems super fucked up that if you flat out eradicated the 20 wealthiest people on the planet and redistributed wealth, EVERYONE would have a place to live and food to eat. We did this human thing wrong.

Kamala Harris would not steal $1.8 Billion of our tax money to give to White Nationalist traitors.

Not a metaphor or an exaggeration, this is literally true

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

If Democrats had the political instincts and media machine Republicans do, in 48 hours 95% of Americans would know Andrew Paul Johnson's name and be LIVID that the government is getting ready to give him some of your tax money

The Seattle Times published a full obituary for Juniper Blessing. It's a moving tribute to a life well-lived. May she rest in peace, and may UW honour and carry on her legacy. Scholarships named for her might be a good start.

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

When Dogs Say WTF….

Some dogs like to be kissed and others….OMG

Our senior dogs had a big beach day out. I promise this will make you smile from ear to ear ❤️

Guy with visible stink lines: the birth rate,

If you're a writer, write "I waited" without saying it. Crickets trilled in the birch thicket across the road as I sat on the steps & smoked, listening for the familiar clatter of her heels. But she never showed. When the cigarette was down to the filter, I flicked it into the street like a rebuke.

"You shouldn't support Palestine. They would kill you for being trans!" say the people who want to kill me for being trans in the United States.

A Fistful of Grogu

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

this is so funny like they want you to be so hyped for a pic so dark you can barely see anything

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Walked the baby to town again today. Got a Pup Cup at Dunkin and went to the park. Now we're home. Mom is dead of sunburn and Susuwatari is crashed on the back of the couch. @weratedogs.com #dog #dogs #dogsofbluesky

One thing you can do to make a small difference that adds up over time is, if you're in the position, to hire trans people and refuse to hire bigots. I've done both and it's super fucking easy. You just tell the chuds you're not interested in hiring any shitheads.

New — I spoke to parents whose kids are former patients of NYU Langone's trans youth health care program about the Texas criminal subpoena for their private health records. "I was furious. I was in disbelief. I was scared for my child's well-being." Read my full report:

Duck feeds grain from the tray to the fishes instead of eating alone. 😍

Mom and kiddo took a very long walk to town today, and now Susu is asleep on Mom's chest. She was so good today. I love my little girl.

Just laughing at how it’s possible for a black woman to be so beautiful and talented that she sends a racist into a six day public stroke

Funny things still happen over at the bad place This guy put a prompt in his LinkedIn and now AI recruiters are writing him in Old English and calling him "my lord"

If I get murdered by a transphobe - and to be clear, given the number of death threats I get, that's unfortunately not out of the realm of possibility - I want you to use the fuck out of my death. Make every conversation about Black trans women. EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. ONE.

I ORDER MY COFFEE BLACK. NO SUGAR. NO MILK. NO WATER. NO CUP. THEY HAND ME THE BEANS. I EAT THEM IN THE PARKING LOT LIKE A HORSE. THE BARISTAS HAVE STOPPED CHARGING ME. I HAVE NOT SLEPT SINCE TUESDAY. I CAN HEAR THE WIFI

did you hear about the horrifying thing that youre powerless to do anything about

They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

if the bathrooms are only free to people who have phones, then the bathrooms aren't free

The only "trans panic" you should be evoking is when that son of a bìtch hears you do a press check and rack a round. Dead transphobes can't hate-crime you.

Do not become a eulogy to be shared on Bluesky. Ensure that you're not going to be a statistic or an episode of a true crime podcast. If you are trans or even just LGBTQ, we still have the 2nd Amendment. At this point owning a gun you are familiar with is as important as your HRT.

Your periodical reminder to get armed and get trained. You still have the 2nd Amendment. GET ARMED AND GET TRAINED. YOU STILL HAVE THE 2ND AMENDMENT. GET ARMED AND GET TRAINED.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Every time I open Bluesky,

my puppy is dying. she is starving to death because Mom's breakfast is the only thing that can sustain her. Mom has given her half the eggies in the bowl and it's still not enough nutrients to keep her alive through these harsh spring days.

male socialization is when you're 6 years old and your stepdad tells you to your face "you should have been born a ni**er girl" because you're not man enough to mow the lawn & chop wood & drive stick & hunt deer

god i love voir dire. average people will just say wild ass shit to a judge utterly unprompted. it’s so beautiful.

I am so sorry, ma’am, but we lost your son. Surgery was going fine but we decided to let RFK Jr. futz around a little on his insides with a robot. He was eating squash at the time.

hey man the music in here just switched from extradiegetic to diegetic. are you about to embark on an emotional journey. you gotta tell me if your fucking movie is starting dude

Ending Reconstruction before hanging every Confederate was a mistake

I have to see that bastard's face every single day and all I want to do is beat it into red slush with a sledgehammer. Christ I hate his guts with every atom of my body.
