We could all use a little more floof. 🐣 🪶

Period.

George Floyd should still be alive.

"The number of investigations devoted to innocent Palestinians killed by the Israeli army was precisely zero. The omission is so complete that viewers could be forgiven for thinking the Israeli army’s only innocent victims in this war were Israelis."

What really grinds my gears about this is how essential investigative journalism is to a free and just society, and when the organizations you think are watchdogs are actually lapdogs, it sucks for everyone, including investigators who ARE doing the work and aren't getting the airtime.

Wake up, babe. New blue octopus just dropped.

Your reminder that this starts Black American holiday season, as Memorial Day emerged from formerly enslaved people tending Union graves in South Carolina, Juneteenth is…Juneteenth, and July 4 became a Black holiday after the Civil War, while many white southerners rejected patriotism.

Blaming Fetterman’s and Dart’s politics on brain injury is a form of ableism that allows people to avoid the way their politics perfectly align with a hegemonic vision of white masculinity.

I have to convince my neighbors to buy another ~50 native plants before I leave for Connecticut on June 5th (doing a mural in Willimantic!!!). I’m worried they’ll die while I’m gone if they don’t get into bigger pots. If you’re a Philly person and want to plant any of these species, get at me!

A little reminder for everyone who posts political memes: Please make sure that you aren't sharing Generative AI. Your political memes don't help if they make the opposition richer. AI bros give a lot of money to the fascists.

Reading this extraordinary book now. Got it from the library. If you aren’t reading U.S. history written by Black Women, you should ask yourself why you’re reading U.S. history at all. I can’t recommend this highly enough. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. #BookSky

Average bsky poster:

NYC folks, Fight for your libraries.

Veterans are also deportable (and long have been deported), including adoptees who never adjusted their status. Many of them have medical conditions that require consistent care. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/ice-dep...

Irony is dead

Hey all, if you don't know about @romancingthevote.com (or if you DO know and don't know it's about to pop off) now is the time! We're raising money for voting rights because fuck John Roberts, that's why.

“Guys were getting a growing body of evidence that a lot of life is actually sentient” “Shitshitshitshitshit time to change the definition of sentient “

Are we really having this conversation, asks the elk.

In the beginning, the BlueSky is a Bubble takes were spaced by 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. The last one in Sydney was a week. In 4 days, we could be seeing a Bubble take every 8 hours, until they are coming every 4 minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double event within 7 days.

Why indeed??? 🫠

Customer: I am so excited to passive- aggressively put this up behind my desk where it can be seen on all my zoom calls 😄🏆

Please Do Not allow your under-ten children to joy ride the mobility scooters in the costco especially not if they are stacked multiple children to a scooter

It goes from psychosexual to full blown horror when one realises how much incestuous rape there was.

Hawaiʻi just passed a new law that limits corporations' ability to engage in political campaigns. Let’s see this in other states.

Watching Black men dying in their 50s again has been painful...and it turns out there might be something we can do about it. This is big.

heart health PSA (especially for folks of African and/or South Asian ancestry): - there's a type of "bad" cholesterol called Lipoprotein A - it raises the risk of heart disease - it's hereditary, & not modified by "eating well and exercise" - new treatments are being developed #NEISvoid

Absolutely perfect!

Louisiana has decided to cede the entire parole decision-making process to an algorithm that will decide if you die in prison or not. There will be no human input or nuance allowed. Even our parole board is sickened by this. LINK: veritenews.org/2025/04/10/t...

Down here in Louisiana all you have to do is watch the parole hearings and you will see COs and wardens at the men’s prisons be SAD these men are leaving and say things like “he’s our best worker/we don’t have anyone to replace the work he does/etc.”

What IS that "manly fragrance" chemical that makes a guy smell like a complete douchebag? I think of it as the Axe/Lynx one, but fancier stuff has it too.

"a device we don't recognize was just used" enough. you're my bank i dont have to tell you about all my devices. i got gadgets you never heard of. i got a palm pilot in a drawer somewhere. what you know about that one money boys

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

I want y’all to spend some time ruminating about what happens to your brain, marginalized groups, and society as a whole when you start deciding everything is a false flag.

hey re: world historic events, just let me know if somethin changes. i'm not interested in stuff that almost happened or whatever. im busy

George Floyd was murdered 6 years ago on May 25th - Memorial Day. The 6th annual Rise & Remember Festival will take place at George Floyd Square on Monday, the first year Memorial Day has landed on the 25th since. Thought i'd share some of my past photos: chaddavis.photography/sets/rise-an...

Candidate for the perfect philosophy dad joke.

Curious new study shows more than double the prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in people with hypothyroidism compared to those without - 33% vs 15%. academic.oup.com/jcem/article... #LongCovid #neisvoid

ya know that “oh shit, I overdid” feeling? it hit me about 2hrs ago & being flat & quiet hasn’t helped - it’s actually gotten a little worse thoughts & prayers for my tentative weekend plans* *watch some comedy, play a video game, have my parents over - it was gunna be wild! #pwME #neisVoid

As a chemist, please know that this stuff actually is no joke. If you are anywhere even remotely near this you NEED to evacuate Methyl methacrylate will absoluteky fuck your shit up indiscriminately

Tarragon is not allowed in the laundry closet, so she has to behave like some sort of Gothic heroine on the threshold of a terrible discovery

If we had ranked-choice voting for all offices, the dynamics of intra-Left races like NY-07 would be healthier—and we'd often BENEFIT from having multiple Left candidates running for the same seat. The good news: NYS has the power to adopt RCV for most offices. Let's start cultivating this demand.

Do you ever think about how strange it is - globally, historically - to live in a country that's never at peace? My whole adult life, the US has been bombing or invading other countries. Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran. This is not a normal thing.

Josh Turek hopes to represent the needs of Iowans and disabled people as a US Senator. At @motherjones.com , I wrote about Turek's run at the time of brutal Medicaid cuts, which he was on as a kid. He has a good shot at being the Iowa Democratic Senate nominee. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
