Hands down the most terrifying Halloween decor.

Too much circus — they’ve forgotten the bread part

“Why are traumatized people so MISERABLE?” “Too much disappointment teaches the system that ‘wanting leads to pain,’ and so it stops responding to potential rewards. … Biologically, it’s an adaptive silencing of the very circuits that make us feel alive.” www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/an-i...

Trump's cult is attacking us at EVERY level. Local officials arrested this man, (a retired law enforcement officer) and has held him since September on TWO MILLION dollar bail for posting a meme that insulted Dear Leader. The sheriff himself can't even state who was supposedly threatened.

DOGS OF WAR: Zoriana saw these two dogs when she went to pick up a package at the post office. These nimble merrymakers were rushing their owner, probably eager to unpack the boxes.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. As Russia’s war rages, therapy for servicemen becomes increasingly innovative. At the Kyiv Hippodrome, horses are being used in therapy for soldiers. This week, Zoriana witnessed their healing up close.

pls watch this and share it with everyone you know

This is genius, Ontario! Do you recognize the voice U.S.?

Spotify (and Apple, of course) are tech companies. Qobuz is a music company. Been using them for a couple years, because of the higher streaming rates, but this is also good.

And a few more

Good evening! Perfect episode to listen on your commute home! The foods and dishes of Thessaloniki, and the rich tapestry of ingredients of North Greece in general too is what we discuss with the author Meni Valle here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... #thessaloniki #podcast #greekcuisine

Timeline clense

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Trump pardoned over 1500 January 6th insurrections his FIRST DAY in office. One of them, my constituent, is now back in custody for threatening to assassinate a Member of Congress. Trump DOES NOT want this story getting attention. So let's make sure EVERY AMERICAN sees it.

Vibes are off. Pull out and post your duck pics. 🪶

My latest, on a man who supported the war in Afghanistan, came to the U.S. legally, applied for asylum, had two kids, became a bookkeeper, bought an American flag bumper sticker. Then ICE arrested him. If he's deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him. wapo.st/49aGaw2

I just keep thinking about the first guy to put on the frog costume reading the news today and seeing frogs literally all over the world what a fucking thing, man that 25 year old did more for the country in a week than most of the NYT op-ed section in a lifetime

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

Why is it sooooo hard for the press pool to make the next question asked be "Is it not YOUR JOB to know what is happening in America?" He uses the same I haven't read that /I haven't heard about it every day, why isn't the press pool prepared to address his dodge?

I couldn't believe this was real. I thought surely it was from a parody account. Who actually supports our nation being in the hands of people who think juvenile taunts are appropriate? Jzus, it's not even clever or funny, just childish and crass.

Awwww. These were the moments I lived for in vet practice.

What an insult to all Alaska. This is outrageous.

Delighted to share the North American cover for LIFELINES. With huge thanks to Nicole Caputo for the beautiful design and for placing Edward Lear's 1837 lithograph of a Dalmatian pelican at its heart. Published by Godine on April 14th, it's available to pre-order now! bookshop.org/p/books/life...

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

We feed the tummy, they feed the heart. 🐈‍⬛🤍

“you seen this shit, dawg?”

This is so true, of Mesoamerica and the Americas broadly…I would like to submit Adena and Hopewell effigy pipes for consideration also. I love the aminals :)

🧵: Last June, more than 5 million Americans joined #NoKings rallies across the country, protesting President Trump's authoritarianism. And this Saturday, with your help, it's going to be even bigger and better.

well, I used to live on the bay and the buffleheads came my way, the golden eyes came there too, mergansers, more than a few, great blue herons stalking the shore, who could ask for anything more, sitting on the bank of the bay, livin' life.....

"As of Monday morning, 51 people from Kipnuk and Kwigillingok had been pulled from flooded homes... U.S. Coast Guard crews rescued 34 people, the Alaska Army National Guard nine more, and the Alaska Air National Guard extracted eight people and two dogs."

My friend bought a book on dogs and now he's hounding me to read it.

I once read a book on ghosts. The ending haunts me.

Trump told Republicans to NOT work with Dems to get the gov’t open. When you’re feeling the pain of this shutdown, I do NOT want to hear a single person blaming the Dems. Blame Trump. #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks

Republicans will do anything to put more money in their pockets at the expense of people, animals, and the environment. And thanks to @apnews.com for calling the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica apnews.com/article/seal...

My only religion is unorthodox Parrothedonism, but most of this country purports to be Christian. The MAGAs are particularly prone to self- reporting as being Christians, so how do they reconcile this?

There's a new attack on public lands. It's a bill with the Orwellian name of "Border Lands Conservation Act." It would open up designated Wilderness Areas to "tactical infrastructure," such as border walls and fences, runways, roads, and surveillance towers. www.paddlinglight.com/articles/a-t...

can’t be fucking bothered to move again. If this place dies, I’m just doing nothing but sending messages by pigeon.

PUFFINS!!

@bopeep-burton.bsky.social I'm not sure if you're aware that you are following and even reposting a virulently antisemitic account? I would hope someone told me before they blocked me for something I might not be aware of, so I am extending you that benefit of the doubt.
