Discovered Chowder the cat yesterday. #catsofmastodon #cats

I saw a long line of cars waiting to enter a school parking lot to pick up a box of food when I was out and about in Northwest Indiana this morning. #nwindiana #indiana #uspol #economy

I get annoyed when people post AI generated images here. What a waste of energy, time and money.

Healthcare In America: Doctor - I see that your gscsttigom isn't working as well as I'd like. I'd like to start you on pjehhdntpf instead. Patient - Okay, do you know how much that's going to cost? Doctor - Sorry I've got no idea. Patient - What do you mean? Like give me a ballpark. Is this […]

I've said it more than once, but I don't think that enough people appreciate it yet. Transitions are difficult. That was why I was begging for us to start decades ago before we'd added so much more greenhouse gases to our polluted atmosphere.

Americans have to come to grips with the fact that they chose to elect a child molester to be POTUS, twice!

Today’s Oakland #butterlies were at the Adam’s Point gardens. Lots of Monarchs, Cabbage Whites, Fiery Skippers, and these guys.

I think some of us are missing the impact of the timing in this move by Senate democrats. We need the House to go back into session now because in very short order two democratic representatives will leave the House to become governors of their states. Johnson must bring the House back to vote […]

Yesterday was a banner day for November #butterflies even though I only photographed 2 species. One of them I looked for all day before finally seeing one (and it sat for a photo!!). Saw a ton of Monarchs hanging around a butterfly garden in Moraga, quite a few […] [Original post on sfba.social]

Remember the #epsteinfiles ? Johnson has to convene the house to vote on this CR.

After two months of sick kitties in two separate places,(Right now I’m playing post-op nursemade to my daughter’s 5-year-old kitten who had a sudden life-threatening intestinal obstruction) , I finally had some time to myself today. It’s mid November, so there […] [Original post on sfba.social]

Good morning

cmon cmon cmon... you can do it...

I thought this was cool. #ladybugs #beetles

"Trump said NO." Marj got pissed.

Not a single person came to the door last night. I totally forgot what night it was. Porch light on and everything. I guess trick or treating just isn’t a thing anymore here. #halloween

"That's no pumpkin!" My friend Tom has made a Death Star pumpkin. 😍 (Also, Death Star Pumpkins is definitely a great band name.) #halloween

#nationalguard troops briefly deployed to #portland despite judge’s order, federal trial reveals The revelation came to light Wednesday in federal court in Portland, where US District Court Judge Karin Immergut will decide if #trump acted lawfully or violated the #statesrights by trying to […]

Jean Lin, special counsel for the #doj, confirmed the deployment to the US District Court Judge Karin Immergut on Wednesday but provided few specifics — minutes before the trial began. Immergut issued a restraining order at 3:40PM on Oct 4, barring #trump from federalizing the #oregon […]

A couple of nifty Epidote crystals from Baja California. #rocks #bajacaliforniasur

Well, here's one thing SF city government is doing that's good, at least! Also nice to see the National Guard used for something helpful. - San Francisco residents who get CalFresh will receive gift cards from the city with emergency funds to cover the missing benefits. - California is fast […]

I really think that people who haven’t been poor should not give money or frugality advice to poor people. The problem with poor people isn’t money management or knowledge, it’s the insufficiency of money. This goes for anyone who wants to help people on food stamps navigate this situation […]

The word “dongle” is just plain wrong. #computerlingo

I no longer seem to be able to translate toot text. In fact I can’t even select text unless I’m composing. Did I mess something up with this app? #mastodonhelp

Shirley is unfortunately into her end times. Some days are good. Some hauntingly reflective. Others are just bad. Today is a bad one; can’t keep food down, and obviously uncomfortable. She’s had some anti nausea meds, so things may stabilize. But she’s falling […] [Original post on sfba.social]

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

wake up babe new $20 bill just dropped #meme #memes #eastwing #whitehouse #uspol #uspolitics #trump

Does anybody else have this problem? The #cat will eat food from freshly opened cans, but only about a quarter of it at most. She will shun that can after it’s been stored in the fridge, even though we: -Cover the can with a rubber lid -Add a slight film of water -Gently warming the food when […]

Does anyone have any good theories about why California seems to have a ton of.. cults? Was just reminded of this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneTaste

Back at Buena Vista park, which has proven itself as a great #butterfly location and did not disappoint today. In addition to the photos, I did see Tiger Swallowtail, Sulphurs and Whites, some kind of Duskywing, a Gulf Fritillary, and of course Behr’s Metalmark.

Kreativität im Protest. Und eine professionelle Umsetzung. Das liebe ich an den #usa. Und übrigens #kaufttrillerpfeifen. Wir werden sie auch brauchen. #uspolitics

In Santa Monica for the #nokings March. My sign was last minute but the hat and shirt have gotten a lot of use.

Checking in from #nyc. This is a big, big crowd, growing fast, and it’s still a while before we start moving. The Hands Off protest I attended last spring stretched for several blocks, and I reckon it was smaller than this. #nokings

Got a pic with this like minded neighbor. #NoKings

The #NYC contingent of the @mediaanddemocracy.bsky.social joined tens of thousands of their fellow New Yorkers at the #NoKings demonstration in support of the First Amendment - especially: freedom of assembly and a #PressFreedom.

This costume make me smile, in solidarity. Beeing is way better than Nothingness! #nokings

Ready for the#NoKings protest. #caturday

Susan Stamberg, an original NPR staffer who went on to become the first U.S. woman to anchor a nightly national news program, has died at the age of 87. https://www.npr.org/2025/10/16/1184880448/susan-stamberg-obituary

Hahahaha it's even better than I expected - so excited for Saturday!! If you're at #nokings in #denver come say hey!

I became a US citizen yesterday! 4 years in the making, a dream for much longer than that. I was fortunate to have one of the fastest routes to citizenship and to have mostly experienced a very smooth process with lovely immigration agents who processed my […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]
