Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

@hankgreen.bsky.social released a video overview on the current SNAP situation and what we can do. youtu.be/HwLaKBHIT7w?... Please consider donating to Feeding America, they are partly federally funded but also take donations. They work with many smaller local food banks. www.feedingamerica.org

This morning I woke up to being accused of mansplaining, and frankly, it was the beginning to what has been a pretty shit day. I don't mansplain. I am, however, nuerodivergent, definitely ADHD and likely on the spectrum somewhere. I genuinely love researching complex topics and situations.

Disney+ will remain cancelled. Trust has to be rebuilt, and I'm not optimistic.

Just more evidence that establishment Dems have little interest in actually making the world better. The Searchlight Institute is being funded by several "progressive" billionaires, basically people who want to keep their tax cuts but don't want the full fascist to win because bad for business.

Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson MAGA's narrative self-immolation

It seems the first episode of #StarTrekScouts (1st pic) has finally revealed what the rubber ducky rooms on the USS Enterprise-D (#StarTrekTNG ⬇️) and USS Cerritos (#StarTrekLowerDecks ⬆️) can (or in this case cannot) be useful for. Check it out! 😂 #HappyStarTrekDay! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Kv...

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers

my mom to my kid: have you ever actually dialed a phone? my kid: yeah! I did it in a museum 💀

Omg, leave the poor man alone! He's been through enough! Absolutely disgusting!

How much for nectarines ? Here in Scotland we get them for approx $1 for ten and we don't even grow the damn things , Americans you are getting ripped off bigly

Apparently helping crypto bros avoid accountability in a court of law for cash is a cause “near and dear” to Andrew Cuomo’s heart. It actually makes all the sense in the world. www.amny.com/news/cuomo-p...

what a sack of losers

@microsoft.com Making some awesome life decisions here... Also, if Grok shows up on my personal or work computers, I'll step up finding a way to replace Windows with a different operating system.

The Polari Prize issued a statement saying it believes its longlistees can hold “different positions on substantive issues.” This is like long listing a racist with authors of color then telling everyone it’s a mere “different position on a substantive issue”. Trans people are a fact. Not an “issue”

Just saw the polari prize statement on their long list. How in 2025 an LGBTQ+ organisation can be defending John Boyne, a transphobe who picked a fight with the Auschwitz Memorial, is beyond me. The bar to be better is near the center of the Earth

DRAGONFLIGHT (1978) Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30" For the first book in Anne McCaffrey's now legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial point-of-view and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. 1/4

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

Oh look, advocating modern day slavery, awesome....

It's kinda weird that NBCNews.com has yet to even mention that a bunch of ICE/DHS agents in full military gear showed up at MacArthur Park in LA, did a walkthrough of the park with their own media people filming. And then left when confronted by the Mayor. That was three hours ago.

….what.

On week three of reducing my Wellbutrin down to 300mg. First week didn't feel much. Last week spent most of it under a layer of hypersomnia. So far this week is feeling pretty good! More talkative, more engaging, seems to have a better range of emotions.

Say someone unemployed was on Medicare or SNAP. So what? Why am I suppose to be mad that my taxes are paying for someone’s healthcare and food? I want that to be what they pay for. If you don’t want that, then you’re an asshole and I’m tired of people not saying that.

Seen some talk about how some blocks are breaking the Hinderstream flow. For those that may be impacted, I want to remind you of this feed. While the feed does not display it all as a single thread, it should be picking up any post that is a part of the Hinderstream. May help.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed. You're a California, Bay Area representative, and frankly, I expected better than you making crap up to smear Mamdani. Us voters across the nation are watching this unfold, and we won't forget who chose to side with the rich and powerful.

Even if they did actually leave, it's not like there wouldn't be someone more than willing to take their place. Cites have high housing demand (I just wish they'd build more of it so it wasn't so damn expensive).

Imagine running a corrupt sex pest and then being “stunned” that you lost.

#DungeonCrawlerCarl Book 7: This Inevitable Run Chapter 85 Right in the feels, man! Right in the fucking feels! 🥲😭

My dad sent me a video where someone reviews stand mixers and they were complaining about the app one of them had. Excuse me while I throw up.

#AltText Version:

Cool, but wil this litl have teeth, actual actionable requirements that can be enforced, and willit actually be enforced or will State prosecutors just bow to federal pressure to not bring charges? New legislation that's not enforced is no better than a strongly written letter.

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Ficking insane!

What standing up to ICE looks like. #Resist

I've decided to turn any hate towards this into a positive. Every time I get flipped off or thumbs down for this flag I'm gonna make a 3$ donation to www.thetrevorproject.org at the end of the month. #Pride #QueerTrucker #TheTrevorProject #LGBTQ

Got a survey in my email from Amazon...could this be a good sign?

I've been wanting to tell my widowhood story publicly for years, but I know I don't have the kind of grief story people want to hear. No community rallied, no family healed, no strength discovered. I wrote about the gap between grief narratives and reality. www.dataandpolitics.net/why-i-find-i...

For context The North American Cup(NORAM) is the largest rugby union tournament in North America. It is part of International Gay Rugby 🌈 which has worked tirelessly the past 25 years to present rugby as an all inclusive sport! #NORAM #IGR

"Canceling this show is an absolutely baffling decision. It has fans! It’s making money! So it’s not Game of Thrones. We don’t need another Game of Thrones. We need color, and warmth, and feral middle aged lesbians making unhinged decisions." 😁♥️ #SaveWOT #WOTSkies

This was so awesome!
