Cats are immensely helpful. Ask nicely and they'll lighten your burden helping out with your Christmas decorating. 😸😹😻 #cats #helpful #adorable #littlehelpers

Five animals seen in the wild: Alley cat w/ loud purr and soft meows Pigeon who liked French Fries Spider the size of a nickel and full of malice Squirrel w/ a poofy tail Raccoon living their best trash panda life

All these "cook for a crowd" articles and I need a way to convince my beloved to just cook for two at a time (Looking at you, crockpot of experimental food no one is eating)

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

The one benefit of truly icky weather

Once upon a time I thought I understood American politics, grasped how law was made, politicians elected & the like. Now I can only wonder at the black hole of Trump. He has stolen billions of dollars from the citizens & there is no process in place to recover it.

Someone on the internet was eating ice cream, and now I have ice cream. This + all the cat videos? I must say, I am definitely a fan.

To quote Ripley, I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

COMIC: It's Friday!

All things being equal, the focus on restoring SNAP is only the beginning. The emergency fund being made fully available still means America is food insecure. SNAP is only a bandaid, providing neither a vaccine or a solution to hunger.

I think they should invent a drug that lets you wipe your memory of John Carpenter movies so you can watch them fresh every Halloween. And then John Carpenter should make a movie about this drug's terrifying side effects.

WOW!!! This is incredible.

Is it still doom scrolling if it is just cat pics?

Why did it take until TODAY to find out Wil Wheaton is on bluesky? <3 that guy!

Our community has never been more vulnerable. LGBTQ+ lives are just as important as any other life. Keep these numbers handy.

At this point, if the current White House administration told me verifiable information (which they would never do) I would have no choice but to believe a lie instead. Is there a word stronger than facist or N@zi I can use to describe them?

My #1 peeve about leadership, whatever the context. Anyone thinking about how to leverage their future comfort while ignoring present suffering does not deserve to prosper. IE if you are more worried about offending re-election donors/special interests than serving your constituents, RESIGN!

Rhetorical and yet sincere question - what exactly is the evidence conservative media is drawing on to claim the Radical Left is the party of political violence? Granted this requires taking their arguments seriously (and will not invoke schoolage furries or divorcees becoming lesbian witches).

Spouse and I finished our binge watch of Andor today. I mention this to also tell you how just now in discussion about The Orange Menace, I remarked how the GOP falls in line while the Dems all behave like Saw Guerra.

Another Niels cartoon, not about debunking fake history this time, but too lovely not to share. We can all use a shieldwall now and then. www.facebook.com/CouldBeWorse...

Hope this brings you a smile. I had a good laugh when I stumbled upon it!

Why are there calls to impeach Trump, and not 25th amendment this 🍊💩? He has zero capacity for shame and censure means nothing to him. We need REMOVAL & a solid plan in place to steer America back to sanity. Triage our democracy first, salvage our reputation globally after (if) we survive!

I am not sure I would be mad.

I don't know if it is lazy coding, lazy copy & paste by a human, or what - however I am slowly going bonkers every time I see a reposted article with the headline as a comment, then as the headline on an article - and then a third time as the flavor text.

You, to me earlier today @travlersdepot.bsky.social

Successful government, at its core, has always been a non-profit. The citizens pay taxes, the citizens benefit from the government spending, and if government does a good job the citizenry continues to pay their taxes and the country prospers. It really is that simple.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

My 50th birthday is on the horizon, and inexplicably my back hurts today. There might be a connection but I cannot quite put my finger on it.

My fellow US Americans, before the Orange Man in Washington guts it - USA.gov can give you contact info for all of your elected officials. Know who represents you and make yourself heard!

If we started calling them by their title nouns (the US president, Florida's governor etc), we no longer have to say their names and they don't get to see themselves on the internet or in headlines. Give their victims names, but not the oppressors.

If I never see a posting of the TikTok error page again, I would be very grateful. Bring back the kitten cat pics and the witty banter, political or otherwise. We get it, okay?

Just learned I am a badger! Relatively short and killing time waiting for spring ...

In the New World, we can use Robert Fulgrum's EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN as our moral code. What do you think?
