I'm setting up my first art studio space! Yayyyyy! (Excluding the desk in the corner of my bedroom, of course)

I got so many new rocks today! Should keep me busy with lapidary for the next... 3-6 months?

My current random thing to think about is how future paleontologists may react to uncovering all of our dog breeds. I can only imagine they'd be massively confused by the variation. No way they'd believe those are all one species, and the potential future debates are hilarious to me

You know it’s bad when the Goths crawl out of our crypts and coffins to protest. @tamiewilson.bsky.social is in the first picture. @gothichomemaker.bsky.social and @markidesade.bsky.social

Lol

I'm excited to see how @maddow.msnbc.com covers the Hands Off protests tonight! I'm so glad I went to the Columbus one. It was huge, and would've likely been 2-3x the size if it hadn't been raining

Cory Booker is a true patriot 🎉

My little yorkipoo Georgie loves watching @maddow.msnbc.com

Checking in on the internet to make sure everything’s still bad. Yep. Still bad.

The GREATEST Depression! It’ll be HUGE! GINORMOUS!!!

The State Department is misgendering citizens on their passports and leaving others in limbo with long waits for documents. “I don’t feel safe traveling with this passport,” one person said.

Over the past five years, Washington, D.C.'s iconic Black Lives Matter street painting has served as a powerful symbol of activism and a gathering place for joy and resistance.

just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

JUST IN: The remaining employees at the General Services Administration are being warned that their work will be heavily monitored, from their swipes into the office to what they type on their computers.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

DFW airport in Texas now has Electronic Genital Verification in their bathrooms. What the actual fuck?! www.instagram.com/reel/DF5niq5...

Screaming In The Car: I don't need a wellness check. I just need to scream.

DURBIN: I wonder if we ought to give fair warning to farmers and ranchers that if you have immigrant labor, you can expect federal agents to come and search your property. Is that in the future under the mass deportation plan? BROOKE ROLLINS *word salad*

Spite is always an option 🖤

If it talks like a ____, if it salute's like a ____, then it's a ____

Weird how the folks who use that salute seem to agree that’s what it is. You’d think they’d know But we all know how our eye love lying

Merry Opossumas! ✨🎄🎁

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

Can Bluesky be a special different world where RFK Jr simply does not exist?

Yes, trans folks deserve healthcare. Yes, trans migrants deserve healthcare. Yes, incarcerated trans folks deserve healthcare. Yes, gender-affirming care is essential healthcare.

Since the overturning of Roe, almost 60000 women in states with total abortion bans have been forced to birth their rapist’s babies. I cried reading the study about it.

NBC: What reproductive rights concessions would be on the table to get Republican votes? Religious exemptions? KAMALA HARRIS: I don't think we should be making concessions when we are talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body

can’t get into details but just had a very positive interview. send good vibes! silly cartoon unrelated.

Coach just called Elon a dipshit 😂

I snorted reading this

Re-skeeting. Check your registration.

Moderator actually asks Trump if he would veto a national abortion ban if passed. Trump, naturally, sprints away from the question. And the moderator asks again! Moderators actually doing their damn job tonight. And... Trump ducks again. Curious.

“We cannot afford to have a president of the United States who attempts, as [Trump] did in the past, to upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election,” said Vice President Kamala Harris during her presidential debate with former president Donald Trump. wapo.st/3MFRPGT

Happy Debate Day! 🎉🎉 #werenotgoingback #kamala2024

Man these people are so weird going “undercover” to record themselves harassing literal children at the DNC. Shoutout to this 12 year old boy who handled it like a champ. www.instagram.com/reel/C-8wTFJ...

What the actual fuck... This bill (HB556) is currently in committee in the Ohio legislature. Definitely something that people should be keeping an eye on. www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/...

I just got done submitting the forms for the trade name registration & a vendor's license so I can sell the various trinkets I've been making 🥳🥳🥳 And I won't have to be solely dependant on online marketplaces 🥳🥳🥳

Promising news in treating HIV, but... “While these preliminary findings are very encouraging, it is premature to declare that there is a functional HIV cure on the horizon,” the researchers say. 🧪🛟 medsky idsky

Trend forecast: Bespoke tattoos that you never reveal online so you can prove when deepfake porn isn't really you

Today's agenda: - Sleeping - Bed-rotting *w/ iced coffee & an audiobook Unless I decide to work on my independent studies, the goal is just "head empty"

Random inconsequential thing that makes my eye twitch: People who use "CEO" as a catch-all synonym for owner, boss, project lead, random higher-up person at a business, etc. Specifically when they don't know the person's actual title/role/position, but perceive them as "in charge"

I finally got all the required materials to start using the lovely antique oil lamp I acquired a couple months ago and got it assembled. I didn't fully understand all the places that said that wick trimming is an art until I got it lit the first time. This is gonna be fun 🖤🖤
