THEYRE AT IT AGAIN CALL YOUR REPS, WE HAVE ANOTHER BILL TO KILL time.com/7288539/kids...

Equitable access to the ballot isn't a privilege — it's a right protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. 35 years after the ADA was signed into law, we're still fighting to eliminate barriers to accessible elections for voters with disabilities.

Good morning✌️🍀

I need a hug so fucking bad bro.

Bro this couple across from me in the DMV are two of the most miserable people Ive ever heard.

This is a dangerous expansion of the police state for nearly 180,000 people. Placing those going through the legal process — our neighbors and loved ones — under 24/7 government surveillance is a gross violation of our civil liberties.

NEW: The Supreme Court preserved a victory for Native American representation in North Dakota secured under the Voting Rights Act. This is an important win for democracy that came as a result from a case brought by @nativerights.bsky.social and @campaignlegal.org.

It's not just "porn" sites. As of midnight, any site that allows NSFW is now legally required in the UK to bar visitors unless they present a govt ID, submit to a biometric scan, or otherwise identify themselves. That means Discord, Bluesky, Reddit, X. The anonymous internet is now closed.

Its feels like life is happening without me

I wish everytime I was polite to a male coworker they didn't immediately make it fucking weird

Slow work day has me taking practice permit tests because I really want to pass on Tuesday so I can just buy my own car

Favorite Pain [vent sketch]

Sneezed so hard I jumpstarted my period

Someone made Labubus for Yhe Sims and it's behind a pay wall so obviously Im devastated

if no one else got me, I know McD iced coffee got me. (preperiod constipation was killing me and their coffee makes me shit myself within 20min)

Please hire me to be your town sorcerer. I can rearrange fallen leaves into spirals with semi-successful ombre effects. I can fill cracks in the sidewalk with glue and glitter. I can tell townspeople where I last saw a squirrel. I can whisper fairly genuine compliments to the wind.

Its so fun going back and looking at shoots from 2017-19 I forgot what it was like to have every shoot feel like an adventure. I miss being surrounded by other creatives constantly. Distance is a bitch

Happy 25th anniversary to FFIX!!! I actually first played the game as an adult a few years ago, but I fell so in love with Vivi that I had to immediately build this cosplay 💕 📷 yinphoto

Our #dungeonmeshi group for Anime Expo yesterday! I had a lot of fun making disgusted looks all day hehe #cosplay I made my staff thanks to an amazing tutorial from Kutan Cosplay! 💞

I don't want to work today, I want to be at home playing Crash Bandicoot and/or being destroyed in Dead by Daylight 😭

Doing pay-what-you-want shoots at ANYC! See pics for details, and if you’re interested you can find the form at form.jotform.com/bejphoto/any... #AnimeNYC

Ive been locked out of my house and just stuck sitting on my porch for over three hours because my partner is someone who keeps their phone on silent always. Im not mad at him but I am beyond frustrated because Ive called and texted soamy times since I wrapped up at work

Immediately.

Repost the $67 cat if you believe in getting $67.

Forcing myself not to feel guilty and/or backtrack when I tell people my rates Telling someone what it would cost for me to shoot their sister's sweet sixteen makes me flinch despite knowing I still undercharge

Hello all. The short of the story is I didn’t get enough for bills last month and I’m in the danger zone. It’s okay bc I know everyone is having a hard time. It would be so helpful to at least get to $600 this month if possible. That would keep me housed. ko-fi.com/banishedbird... #mutualaid

Please believe me when I tell you: Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now. You are going to need it. And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing. The thing that sustains and nourishes you. That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others. More present. More:
