It's really sad that entertainment overall has become a landlord economy. The people who own the platforms make the money. The people who provide the labor make crumbs in comparison.

im just glad grumpy cat isn't alive to see all this

So many of you get your authority by being white. That's it. You don't know any more than I do. You're not smarter than I am. You're just white and that grants you a level of authority that I am not granted without proving myself. You're trading in white supremacy. You should think about that.

One of my favorite Ae'o shots (in fact, I have a 24" x 18" float mount of it up on my living room wall), a matched pair feeding in the shallows of Kealia Pond NWR. Inspired to post by @mollybangles.bsky.social and her curlews! :) 📷🦉🌿

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970 The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23 They constantly let America down

I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.

I can beat the medievalists! In 61 CE, revolting British natives attacked the Roman colony of Camulodunum (Colchester). In 2015, in a domestic space, archs found the remains of a whole box of coriander as well as fenugreek, poppy seeds, cumin, & other Indian spices. Homesick Roman women made curry.

Looked up the law here and it's pretty damn clear it's regarding real actual genitalia and not cartoonish inflatable representations. codes.findlaw.com/al/title-13a...

Three cops hold a non-resisting 53-year old Alabama woman down for wearing an inflatable penis costume. That says so much, including that I think the fascists will eventually lose, bigly.

OMG OMG @mlukemc.bsky.social 's book is coming out! I read a draft of it a number of years ago and it was SO GOOD! Highly recommended.

We have friends everywhere. #NoKings

A LAPD officer driving an SUV through a crowd of people knocks over and injures a man in Downtown Los Angeles. @shoton35mm.bsky.social

Some raw video from No Dictators protest in Honolulu, Hawaii 🏝

I'll leave you from Portland with one last video of the @unpresidentedbrass.bsky.social, the unofficial house band of #NoKings

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

Dallas didn’t disappoint. #NoKings

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

“In this country, a person who believes that he is the law cannot be president.” Texas representative @algreen.house.gov tells @premthakker.bsky.social that he’ll introduce new articles of impeachment for Donald Trump.

Excuse me: bb turtles

We are now up to the part where literal brownshirts are arresting civilians.

Reverend David Black is here shaming the cops. "You're arresting us? Look at yourselves. Look at yourselves. You know which side you're on and I don't think you want to be there. And you have that choice."

By City Hall, Superman is waving a US flag next to a guy waving the pirate flag from One Piece. I just saw a sign that says "No Kings in this Jawn"

Excellent explanation of why the UK should become a republic.

The ability to remove your post when a hostile account quote-tweets you is a great feature of Bluesky. To do it, go to their quote-tweet of you, click on the three dots in the bottom right, then click “detach quote.” It shows up as “removed by author.”

Kilauea put on a record-breaking light show with episode 35. 🌋 At around 9:30 p.m. Friday, the U.S. Geological Survey said the south vent topped 1,300 feet and the north vent is about 1,100 feet — a record for both fountains during the eruption. LATEST UPDATE: www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/10/18/l...

HPPA’s Kim zoomed up to #hawaiivolcanoesnps when the 35th episode of the eruption of Kīlauea Volcano got underway with serious fountaining this evening. Mahalo for the images, Kim! 🌋 If you plan to enter the park, please be aware of limited services during this time. 🌋#HVNP #KilaueaVolcano

The Hawaii State Teachers Association (HSTA) says it is supporting state Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole in his bid to represent Hawaii’s First Congressional District.

This feels like an apt time to re-up the greatest baseball tweet of all time

Pride tomorrow! Gay Wrath month the second is in full swing on island, and timed so that it’s easy to go from the noon No Kings up to the 3pm parade. Will be a nice break day www.honolulupride.com/events/pride...

Caretakers of a popular bay on Maui are moving forward with a plan to create a cultural sanctuary to manage the crowds.

Global Anglican Schism? Meh, good riddance. They've been pissed since at least 1974 when women got ordained to the priesthood for the first time. Yeah, that was a "better to ask forgiveness than permission" event, but if they hadn't we might possibly still have a male-only priesthood and Bishopric.

Prior to today: Only 12 hitters had ever hit 3 homers in a postseason game. Only 26 pitchers had ever recorded 10+ strikeouts, 2 or less hits and no runs in a postseason start. Shohei Ohtani just did both in the same game lol.

You know things are bad when newsmax and fox refuse to sign a document prohibiting them from reporting anything but what the government approves. Even the propagandists are saying that's too far

⭐️ Civil Beat is hiring reporters and fundraisers! Come join our growing team.

For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.

“Rawdogging boredom 5 mins a day” Bro you just discovered mediation wtf

Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

Why are these accounts here? They are quote farming. They WANT you to post things like "Fuck you ICE!!!" and "Trump can suck my dick!!!" That gives them fun little posts for Fox News to demonstrate the "angry left." DO NOT give them what they want. Block and be done. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

My school is making friendship bracelets with people's mahina hānau on them and I want to do that but campus is a two hour drive away. Anyone recommend a kit to buy? There are too many for sale online and I am bewildered by choice.

UVA says no to the compact

Happy #Birdtober! 🌌 ʻUaʻu (Hawaiian Petrel) Pterodroma sandwichensis The ʻuaʻu soars at night, navigating thousands of miles across the Pacific before nesting in high mountains of Hawaiʻi. Ocean & island — connected. Many ʻuaʻu nesting areas are protected w/in national parks #Uau #HawaiianPetrel

That seems like a lot. Is that a lot?

“Blah,” said Toad.
