Three months ago, my dear friend Hani was murdered while trying to feed his family. His sister Faten has cancer, and sleeps in a freezing tent with her hands, feet, and eyes swelling more and more every day. I love this family with all my heart. I can’t keep watching them die. gofund.me/2550fc5e2

More than 50% of all flood fatalities are vehicle-related. You never know how deep the water is or if the road has been washed away or compromised beneath the water. Don’t risk driving into floodwaters. Turn Around, Don’t Drown! weather.gov/safety/flood-turn-around-dont-drown

still my favorite christmas post

Tosia loves the snow. Freddie? Not so much.

Happy Birthday to one of the most perfect fictional men out there - Addam Saint Nicholas from @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social's Tarot Sequence!

SAINT+SURVIVOR A little something to past the time until @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social's The Misfit Caravan drops! I'd like to think that despite all the bad press Rune got after the fall of his court . . . some people saw him as something hopeful and strong, rather than disgraced and broken.

Politicians in Illinois have been receiving death threats and other forms of harassment, with some even receiving threats of lethal injection, due to their stances on controversial issues such as gun control and drag queen story hours.

Only 3 days left to grab prints! A storming big thank-you to everyone who's picked one up so far ❤️🌩️

Not gonna lie, really vibing my costume this year. The skirt is one of the very first things I've made for myself from scratch!

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

An assault upon a residential apartment complex in Chicago, with ICE and other federal officials brazenly violating the Fourth Amendment rights of U.S. citizens, is something that should alarm us all. But it’s also part of a pattern that we already know how to resist. My write-up in the replies.

A far-right Israeli minister confronted the detained flotilla activists, mocking their aid initiative and accusing them of supporting “terrorism” in a video that was circulating on Friday. https://to.pbs.org/4pOUS21

Did he share a “wonderful secret” with Donald Trump as well?

Happy Equinox! and a Happy Rosh Hashana too!

This is what happens in an oligarchy where a few control the platforms of communication and the media.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.

Do you see what is happening before our very eyes?

7 hbcus evacuated for bomb threats, dnc threatened and evacuated, umass evacuated, a fox news host challenging his millions of viewers to go to war with their political opposition....not even a blip in the news cycle, not a word of condemnation from any politicians or op-ed sections that ive seen

After years of complaints from the right about “cancel culture” from the left, some conservatives are seeking to upend the lives and careers of those who disparaged Charlie Kirk after his death. https://to.pbs.org/4nwYvYi

My birthday gift to you all is this little sketch of Brand with a kitty - modeled after my own, to go with the little tweet @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social posted after DragonCon this year!

After a fairly cool stretch of weather for portions of the U.S., temperatures will be on the rise this week. That trend will continue into mid September. The exception being eastern portions of the country with a near to below normal signal. Here's the 8-14 day temperature outlook (Sept. 15-21).👇

Gonna go ahead and blame @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social for this near impossible standard he's set. "Everyone should have a Brand." - absolute facts, but also Damn we deserve an Addam in our lives too!

9 former directors of the CDC penned an op-ed stating that what Robert F. Kennedy has done to the nation's public health system is "unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations. Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes. Protect mail-in voting at all cost.

As a mortality researcher, I haven’t generally paid a lot of attention to people my own age (elder Millennial here). That’s, unfortunately, changing. (With @astokespop.bsky.social and Jacob Bor)

Did you know that you can help shore up the funding gap for PBS (and NPR), as well as getting access to fantastic content, for just $5 a month? Such as the new series, CIVICS MADE EASY--where they explain things like, oh, HOW VOTING WORKS in the U.S. #FundPBS

Better start calling Donald Trump "Donner" with the way he's cannibalizing the US for his own ego.

please? $1095 needed to get to 40% 40% is what i have to pay upfront, my oncologist was able to make an arrangement for me to pay the remaining 60% over 3 months. the sooner i have the 40%, the sooner i can schedule the first session. time is not on my side - please contribute/share now! ❤️

This is terrifying. And if we think they will stop with immigrants and homeless people. We are wrong.

“Because electricity is more costly for data centers than water, companies often prioritize building their facilities in places with cheap power, even if the area is drought stricken.”

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.

North Carolina governor vetoes anti-DEI and transgender rights bills, calling them ‘mean-spirited’ apnews.com/article/n... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

This is cool, there are cards and posters for sharing info. Here’s the card with the 20 lessons.

This hydrograph of the Guadalupe River in Comfort is terrifying with this…something like 25 feet in 45 minutes.

Andrei Badalov, vice president of the state-owned pipeline operator Transneft, has died after reportedly falling from a high-rise building in Moscow, He joins a list of Russian executives who’ve died in unclear circumstances

Flood Watch issued yesterday at 1:18 pm. WPC had mesoscale discussions throughout the event. NWS issues Flash Flood Warning at 1:14 am. NWS issues Flash Flood Emergency at 4:03 am. NWS was on the ball. The challenge is always getting the warning the last mile and getting people to respond.

Ten Days of Pride! "The Tarot Sequence" by KD Edwards @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social is an urban fantasy series with a chosen one, dark mysteries, many many magical battle scenes, and a sprinkling of creatures from a variety of mythologies…

I still can’t get past this headline.

So they're just going to kidnap someone running for office because they don't want him to win? *looks around* I'm not really sure anyone's going to be voting in 2026 if they get their way.

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?
