The Sun and the Moon ran away together 🌜🌞

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard. There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

I fully expect that if, on Monday, USDA does anything other than tell the court how much money it will be funding SNAP with, the judge will issue an emergency temporary order mandating that USDA fund SNAP. www.patreon.com/posts/142532...

Someone in my neighborhood got FED. UP.

I was told no Halloween costumes at work today, but the guy in the White House is ripping it down without any permits and he's about to starve the public to push his authoritarian agenda so 🖕

Happy Hallowmas to all who observe

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

The guy quite literally closed down an entire children's park when he moved to the DMV. No one in Del Ray wants HIM as a next door neighbor

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Queer Bluesky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now? Came out as bi when I was 13, and for a long time in my podunk community, it was me and one white cis gay boy holding the fort. Added they/them pronouns at 26 or 27, after shedding a nasty relationship. I'm 33 now 💖

First Trump shut down the government instead of working with us to lower health care costs — now his admin wants to block states from wiping medical debt off credit reports. Saddle millions with medical debt, then let it crush their credit. Billionaire playbook.

super misleading headline that obscures a much more complex issue. gates says we need to periodically reevaluate the best funding balance between these tightly-interconnected disciplines, especially after the big US funding cuts

This Halloween season, my partner taught me the joys of a frozen Twix bar. Now I know that a Twix dunked in hot coffee is a beautiful thing. But slap that baby in the freezer?? You've got an entirely different animal

If you’re furloughed and near Baltimore, check out Ekiban, second post in thread, for a meal. bsky.app/profile/patt...

You deserve a fun little Vagina Museum read today

It's National Black Cat Day, you are obligated to look at my beautiful baby (and my dumb Halloween costume of her)

30 years ago this Thursday, one of the best, and queerest, episodes of Star Trek aired.

I pair my D3 supp (always use a third-party tested brand!!) with a therapy light. When I have to go somewhere first thing, I use it while I do skincare/makeup. When I don't, I plop next to it while I sip coffee and do some morning puzzles: doom staved off for another day!!

Bless the zookeepers giving their animals pumpkins to play with and gnaw on, and bless them twice for posting vids of it online, amen 🙏

The Trump Admin found $20 billion to bail out Argentina but refuses to tap into a $6 billion reserve fund to provide vital food assistance to 42 million Americans. They’re using food and hunger as leverage as they hold the government hostage. Sickening.

heads up baltimore dhs vehicles cruising around patterson this morning

Great timing re essentially dismantling the CDC then. Especially as birds are so notoriously sedentary.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

as we reach the SNAP cliff just a gentle reminder to do-gooders that the most efficient use of resources is to contribute to organizations that are already established. unless nothing exists in your area (and it likely does whether you know it) now is probably not the time to stand something up

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Zohran Mamdani's promises of free busses might sound great, but I live in Albuquerque NM where city busses have been free for five years and I'm here to tell you the truth. This is what every bus in my city looks like now. Think carefully about your choice this November.

My husband and I will come to your house just to see your dog

WE'RE KITTIES 🐈‍⬛🐾

Funders of Trump's $300M ballroom and East Wing destruction include: -Amazon -Apple -Coinbase -Lockheed Martin -Google -Meta -Microsoft -Palantir -Tobacco companies -The Adelson family Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor.

Oh noooooo! I'd seen a rumor a while ago, but this is very sad. (I don't wear enough dresses, etc to be a great customer, but I have bought several things in the past)

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Now I may just be married to a Jeremy Culhane-esque funny little guy who is doing the most.....but Tall Plain Boyfriend is the funniest shit I've seen on SNL in years

rushing to integrate undercooked, misrepresented, and misunderstood technology into every corner of our lives just so a handful of terrible people could make more money might have been a bad idea

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

I-

Friends! Enemies!(?) In this week’s @neverpo.st, @georgiahampton.bsky.social talks with a witch and a forensic psychologist about witches, Etsy witches, the meaningful difference between the two, and depictions of witchcraft in popular culture. Ooky? Ish. Spooky? A bit. Fascinating? Endlessly.

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

one thing that pleases me on bsky is every time I see a full on far right troll they've got like five followers. the ultrablock really is effective.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Not normal, but I think it's wishful thinking on our parts to say it isn't common. Everyone I know could point out some edgy white boy in high school/college who slimed his way around trying to catch strays and debate about "military tactics" or some shit. It's hard to catch in time, esp for youths

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

“Buck naked” is unclothed. “Butt naked” is unclothed and up to something.

Speaker of the House holding a formal presser to announce that Jesus is the king of everyone in the USA should be getting more attention
