If you have zero cats and are thinking about changing that, I highly recommend adopting a bonded pair of adults! It's actually easier than just one adult cat b/c they keep each other engaged.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Just a quick update: It was the biggest comeback in NBA finals history.

Feelings after Act 1 of the new Black Swan musical at ART - Staging is amazing. Love the mirrors and illusions. - Music is interesting -- and all Swan Lake, which I love - Choreography might be the best since the original Cats - Songs aren't bad but they're outclassed by everything else on stage

Here is Jim in our garden a couple of summers ago, looking at my face and deciding whether to sneeze into it (he decided he would).

Jim dismisses claims from the working class cats he used to hang around with that he has "got too fancy for his own good" since becoming fully domesticated and believes he has merely expanded his horizons. This includes a burgeoning interest in the films of the French new wave.

If you are feeling helpless & angry about the pogrom in Belfast, one way you can do something is by archiving the twitter accounts & posts driving the incitement. Documentation is antifascist as fuck.

The violence in Belfast is a reminder of something I don’t want to take for granted: The fascists here hoped the response to the depredations of ICE would be similar, with people turning in or attacking their neighbors. That it was the very opposite is worth remembering in this season of despair

Honestly, these are THE best thing on super hot days. They cool you down cuz they're ice, they slow you down while you're having it, and you either regain your equilibrium to get on with your shit OR you realize you're at the end of your bandwidth allotment and decide to wrap up. Perfection.

Reminder: as ICE just got $70 billion more (fuck ICE), we are still sending out whistles to anyone who wants them. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

ACAB. Including the cop in your head. At pride, but also always. Are you unsafe, or are you just uncomfortable?

“The rapid physiological damage to teeth among heat-exposed workers is visible and measurable. But because it’s a dental issue — because it doesn’t kill people quickly like heatstroke does — it’s been largely ignored by the medical establishment.” More unexpected effects of the #climatecrisis

Anti-sex ed extremists are indoctrinating kids against abortion before they learn about consent. It’s deliberate. Hear from Callie Simon of @siecus.bsky.social and @jessicavalenti.bsky.social from Abortion Every Day about The Coming Tradwife Plot (And How We Stop It) here: youtu.be/DEXfk1IpaMc?...

We have an incredible problem: too many donations for our mutual aid hub and not enough shelves! We’ve outgrown our current setup, and we need to adapt to keep up with need, especially as we help candidates across the country adopt this model.

So there are active ops trying on here to tell people that humans did not die of disease at very young ages before the advent of pasteurization. There might be humans behind them, or they might be fully automated bot accounts, but either way you should block them

So much hatred and violence and right-wing legalese is dedicated to denying women and queer people autonomy over our own lives and futures and bodies because we all owe you families and children and sex and labor, and from the very bottom of my heart, fuck you and your breeder society to the gutter.

You don't have to go as far as SRS. The standard 'defense' of youth trans healthcare I've seen focuses 'misinformation'. "No one's being rushed into it," the well-meaning ally chides. "The system of grinding, years-long wait times for access to a stopgap is working as intended." Wonderful.

I might not be seeing a path forward for myself right now... But I've got neapolitan ice cream sandwiches. And nobody can stop me from eating them.

People are so hungry for cool weird original things and we would have an endless buffet if people had any kind of stability to work from. Its so frustrating that there maybe 10 guys holding back what could be an insane artistic, cultural, and economic renaissance and we get nothing in return

strange how focusing her career almost entirely on trans people and "protecting bathrooms" didn't help her in her own *GOP primary*. it's as if transphobia doesn't actually help win elections... 🤔

I appreciate that New Yorkers showed reverence for the anthem by booing a wannabe tyrant.

9/ This is an enormous reminder that eradication isn't permanent without continued investment. We eliminated screwworm. I said it last week and I'll say it again- keeping threats at bay requires funding, surveillance, expertise, and long-term commitment. Prevention only works when we keep doing it.

In case you missed this 2024 story: Scientists are building FROG SAUNAS, and it's letting one species of endangered frogs rid themselves of a deadly fungal pathogen. Also, they appear to just, like, enjoy it. Frog sauna. Or 'frauna'. Or, alternatively, 'hopspital'.

South Korea's UBI pilot shows major success 1 year. Local businesses grew by 2,000 and rural population went up 4.7%. Most of the money was spent, causing "an increase in new businesses in essential services such as restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, and hair and beauty salons."

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/
