At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

Right now, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem, and other officials are participating in a panel about "Antifa," threatening to "destroy the entire organization [sic] from top to bottom." This is a good time to revisit our guide to preparing for repression: crimethinc.com/Safeguarding

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl. "weaponry like a crossbow bolt and wooden lance, decorated sheep leather, and parts of a slingshot....a shoe made from twigs and grass is ~675-years-old." link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecy..... www.popsci.com/environment/... 🧪🌍🦉

Cat sitter got this pic of Fern looking like 2 day old roadkill

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

Don’t throw out your family’s old sewing patterns.

My friend is in desperate need for help. If you send anything please let me know

There are tons of graphic novels, academic papers, film and TV scripts, & prose novels/nonfiction on the LibGen list Anthropic used. As settlement approaches, make it easy for the class action lawyers to contact you! Here’s how Part 1: is your work in Libgen? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

James Dobson has gone to glory, and he would not want to see us grieving. Instead, we should live according to his example. We should all go out and interview a serial killer today

Hey, as someone who makes a living off selling adult games, I would really appreciate people helping to push back against censorship by payment processors. These puritanical extremists pressuring them have been successful because they've made a lot of noise, so we should be making even more noise!

Incredibly helpful.

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Can't finish quilting this.

Went to the native plant nursery.

Hummingbird moth! I *think* it's the hummingbird clearwing?

There are 4 babies this year. Need to rinse out all the mud every morning. So far they haven't torn apart the water dripper yet.

Guessing a distant ancestor just gave up and spelled it like everyone thinks it spelled.

Me, all day yesterday to my kids: it's hot commie summer lmao and everyone wants merch 15, this morning: oh btw I made this last night

I hate how archaeologists and gravediggers have tricked us into thinking that digging has to have some sort of end game. Just dig, folks.

Missed her couch cuddles the last few days.

I've been visiting family back home w/ limited internet & cell service & just popped on here to share pics of animals I saw and just got caught up on the news and wow, a lot of stuff happened in the past 3 days. Um...I saw a porcupine and ate a big pretzel some lady makes & sells out of her house.

This is the only meme you need.

FBI calls you? Shut the fuck up. Cops show up at your door? Shut the fuck up. The only thing you say is “my lawyer will call you.” Then contact your local NLG. Make sure your familiarize yourself with this # & share with an emergency contact
