Everyone say Happy Birthday Hambone right now

Not sure if anyone has any experience with this, but we have a tree planted in front of our house that's been there before and moved in and is technically on city property. The city told us they're removing the entire tree and I really do not want that because I love it

Me when I have barely eaten, slept, or drank water for the last week: woah I feel bad who could've predicted this

Heavy breathing

if you have democrat rep/senators i recommend calling and reminding them you will never vote for them again if they bend the knee on this. shutting down the government is the correct choice. that is the exact phrasing in my 3 calls and it took 5 min total bsky.app/profile/pink...

Ya boy is getting (a minor an non invasive) head surgery idk when so I gotta shave my head everyone send me haircut inspo photos

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

This is my Super Bowl

New on Knock: the looming redevelopment of William Mead Homes in Chinatown raises fears in Mar Vista Gardens, the only public housing project on the west side of LA. Story from @marvistavoice.bsky.social knock-la.com/william-mead...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Food /// didn't get raptured but I made the sandwich instead

Worlds Beyond Number has made me cry many times but nothing has made me sob harder than Ame talking to the horses about eating them lmao

Look at this absolute unit

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

And when you do get back to your phone all of you need to immediately turn off your advertising ID. It's being used to track people by LE by buying it from data brokers. Once they link you to a place at a time they can see the advertising ID's there & match you w/ the ID www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

My favorite independent Korean market closed at the end of August and I miss their banchan so much and I'm not being brave about it

Dipping my whole body in icyhot

this is what got him fired?

What a peaceful and uneventful day it's been huh everyone

"Half the population” of greater Los Angeles "now meet the government’s criteria for reasonable suspicion," in the wake of today's 6-3 SCOTUS ruling. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Also keep in mind that obesity qualifies you. That’s a lot of people (me included)

Updating people on my life the last two weeks like, someone got hit by a car and died across the street from my house, my dad had such bad hypoglycemia I had to medically intervene to save his life, my AC broke, dog got attacked by a coyote in my neighborhood AS I WAS ON A WALK, my uncle died

AHHH

I had to run out of the house immediately after our sesh today and didn’t get to do this earlier, but: Today in OOGA:

Pro: after debilitating executive function issues I'm back in my video game era Con: I don't care about anything that isn't video games or Superbat exploring each other's holes

Please tell Nintendo (and all other developers/studios/manufacturers) tht you want physical only, on the cartridge/disc media.

No AP News alerts, no Union-Tribune alerts or articles, no emails from UC either. I work at a UC and I would not know that UCLA lost all grant funding last night if I wasn't on Bluesky or in union group chats. Self-preserving silence and general complacency are becoming more common.

Had a matcha and a jasmine tea I'm phasing through walls

"illegal adult content" Porn isn't illegal. smut isn't illegal. adult content is legal, and people should be able to purchase it with their money.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

Finally playing Date Everything and wow Freddy was made in a lab for me

I drink caffeine I have anxiety I don't drink caffeine I have anxiety. Guys I think I just have anxiety.

Beehiiv and Ghost are both good platforms. If you have a Substack, you should try to migrate it to one of those platforms.

What

Smalls, the only Black flotilla member, appears to be the only one who has been treated this way

Woke up with so much anxiety today, surely chugging a Yerba mate will fix that

i think brainstorming little aus with friends that match your freak is some of the most fun you can have actually

Bad news, I have been diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Obviously shit is scary for me right now but if you would like to support my treatments and recovery, I made a GoFundMe link! gofund.me/9a6d3da6 I plan to start my first treatment in the next couple of days.

Food /// made these nachos then devoured them in 2.5 seconds
