I have to thank @booksinthefreezer.bsky.social for recommending The Last Days of Jack Sparks on the podcast(more then once). I'm about halfway through and this book just ticks all of the boxes for me! Not sure I would have found it otherwise

Finally watched @joshruben.bsky.social 's Heart Eyes. I haven't enjoyed a slasher this much in a while! So much fun!

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting against Trump's war on Iran for Israel, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

Very excited about this @ghoulish.bsky.social haul that came yesterday!

Our friend the Puerto Rican Crested Toad was once believed to be extinct but was rediscovered in 1966! Since then, they have been reintroduced into the wild thanks to an effective breeding program run by the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums! (photo by Cullen Hanks)

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

Got the notification that I fulfilled the PSLF on my student loans and that my balance is forgiven. I honestly wasn't sure it would happen and it honestly feels amazing

Do you have a library card? Do you? Do You Do it

Got my recovery buddy. She is exhausted from all her hard work

Didn't think I would still be dealing with issues from getting a broken arm almost a year later, but here we are

Again, just like in the case of Mahmoud Khalil and the claim that he's a secret Hamas supporter—NO MATTER WHAT—the requirement of due process of law ALWAYS applies, and it is REQUIRED to obey a judge's order to not deport someone. Either y'all never took civics, or don't care that this is fascism.

Though the old CDC website has been restored, here is also the link to Health Canada as a resource www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

I just received my @ghoulish.bsky.social mystery book box! Based on the synopsis of these books, they are going to be right up my alley. I'm very excited to read them!

There are many mysteries and ambiguities in life but the nature of this gesture is not among them. It's a Nazi salute.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

I can continue to offer cute animals.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

Made this one back in November. It’s time to bring it back.

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

This is awesome. From a custom knife forging shop in Edom, Texas.

Everyone going, "RFK Jr is against Big Pharma!" should maybe acknowledge that he's staunchly pro Big Supplement.

Please, please listen, I am literally begging you: I'm a healthcare lawyer who is alive because of Medicaid. I just came from Hill meetings about Medicaid. I'm very plugged into "the groups" — if you're covered by Medicaid, do not cancel anything medical because of the OMB mess.

Pritzker: "They are either lying to us or they are critically incompetent. This is what happens when you staff the federal government full of project 2025 contributors that don't have any experience governing and don't think that the laws apply to them."

Pritzker: "Donald Trump's administration is lying to you. The White House's attempt to walk back what they did today does not match what we saw on the ground."

Transgender Americans in the military have volunteered to serve our nation. It is unacceptable and offensive to refuse them solely on the basis of their gender. Trump's decisions are weakening our military readiness while his foreign policy decisions threaten our national security.

BREAKING: Gov. Pritzker’s office confirms the Trump funding freeze has shut Illinois out of Medicaid. FOUR MILLION Illinoisans rely on Medicaid for their healthcare. Trump's freeze will kill people. He's doing this to ensure "Money isn't being wasted on DEI initiatives." Beyond absurd & cruel.

Laws like this will not stop at porn. They will be used to shut down your podcast, your YouTube channel, your newsletter, zine, record label, etc. You'd be surprised to see how expansive the definition for "porn" can become when lawmakers don't like what you're saying.

Good morning Bluesky ☀️🩵☕️ Not today, but one day 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

This is the moment for everyone in this country to learn that the decrease in birth rate is almost entirely from lowering teen pregnancies. So what they’re asking for is children to have more children.

She always looks so disapproving

keep seeing commentary on elon morks nazi gesture questioning wether hes just being immature troll or actually has fascist belief. this analysis is the classic 'EVIL OR DUMB?' dichotomy (are they evil, or are they just dumb?) but these commentary folks fail to grasp the obvious answer: elon is both

This op-ed explains how to start an ICE Watch neighborhood program in your community. ⤵️

I'm going to repeat this because it's getting lost in the more popular clip being the salute. ELON REFERENCED THE 14 WORDS AFTER HE DID IT. "It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured" is an allusion to the 14 words. There is ZERO debate about his intentions. He said it himself.

I strongly advise you to get this into your mind and then to try and drill it into the minds of everyone you know. Do not comply in advance. These hateful authoritarian lunatics are incompetent and stupid. They are relying on you treating them with respect and compliance to achieve anything

as the followup to the quoted post points out, voltaire didn’t say this. a neonazi pedophile named kevin did. it’s a weird enough story that i covered it in the very first episode of my show, weird little guys. www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

Things are awful so here's a cute thing

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

We’ve always been at war with East Asia.

Definitely wild that we've all decided the president can unilaterally declare "this law passed by Congress doesn't count" just because this specific law sucks. Seems like a bad precedent

They knew they were lying about shoplifting for 2+ years and still kept stuff locked up...play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I have a proof copy of my first novel and I'm so chuffed, now I just need to blackmail famous people into saying nice things, sell a sensible million copies, easy peasy, realistic goals - ISABELLA NAGG AND THE POT OF BASIL is out in May (calliope for scale)

angy

“Mhm. And how will you uplift marginalized communities?” I ask an engagement bot, killing off the last members of an endangered species of mynah bird in the Amazon. The bot’s answer lacks intersectionality—I tell it so. A root system that had been alive since the Cretaceous period shrivels and dies

I am enraged by the media, doctors, and politicians who are sane washing RFK Jr and claiming some common ground. Common ground only exists when there are genuinely good intentions, but anti science grifters are not presenting good faith arguments. There is no common ground, only a slippery slope.

Recently finished @chucktingle.bsky.social book Bury Your Gays and honestly, it's one of my favorite reads of the year! I'm not super great at giving reviews but its just so so good
