People say fairy tales aren’t real but I have a small forest apex predator that lives in my condo, has a human name, and shouts orders at me all day

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

neutral fan watching the Tigers/Mariners series: wow, these games! so tense! what fun! Tigers/Mariners fans watching the Tigers/Mariners series: I have eaten a great deal of my own hair.

I'm sorry, but "Big Dumper" is like the worst baseball nickname EVER.

The deadline is approaching to submit art for the Cabinet of Tiny Curiosities exhibit in 7² Gallery, a miniature (7"x7"x3"!) art gallery in Doraville, GA! Your art needs to get here by Sat, 10/11, so email wenyeva+7x7gallery at gmail ASAP! #callsforart #miniatureart #microgallery #nanogallery

The #powerpop community just lost a great one: Dave Scarbrough, who flew under the radar for years while writing and producing amazing music until he released Happy Ever After in 2022. He was the most talented musician I've ever known, and a dear friend. He should have been with us for much longer.

Refuse To Lose, dammit! #mariners

I refuse to give em dashes to the AI

Apparently Donald Trump Jr. called Seattle a "craphole city", lol. Obv. I had to go back to my Anarchist Jurisdiction postcard design and update it, and make t-shirts and postcards and stickers with it like I did with the Anarchist cards. So here they are: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1731...

Last Sunday I opened Doraville's (and maybe Georgia's) tiniest art gallery: 7² Gallery It's 7" x 7" x 3" and attached to my Little Free Library. I have a Call for Art up right now! See also 7x7gallery on Instagram #littlefreelibrary #microgallery #sidewalkjoy #littlefreeartgallery #nanogallery

Wow. Powerful.

This rocks. Love this.

You would think JUST ONCE by the laws of probability if he was doing this all as a giant distraction, that ONE of those distractions would be like… a basket of kittens. If literally every single distraction is a basket of kitten HEADS, that’s not a distraction, it’s him being Skeletor.

35) Stop making up weird rules about how and how hard and with what you can hit your kids. None of it is discipline, it's frustration and revenge. It's all abuse. Even with a belt, even with an open palm. Stop hitting your fucking kids.

Mr. Rogers successfully defending The Corporation for Public Broadcasting from a threatened $20 million budget cut (67% of their funding) in 1969.

I'm in the SCA so it would be odd if someone I know DOESN'T have all this stuff in their car (Well, not the guns. Those particular guns aren't period)

Speaking of Rocky Horror, I just decided to watch the Drew Carey episode where they have a RHPS dance off with fans of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Hadn't seen the whole ep since it was new. Fun of course, except I did not remember that freaking TRUMP is in it. Talk about a jump scare.

Sudden realization. Now that I have a new bionic hip, I CAN DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN

This is my first cousin Glen -- whom I found out about through a DNA test. At that point we knew he was related but not how, but then I saw his pic, and he was so obviously a Dunlap. And that turned out to be true!

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

Right -- I use em dashes like crazy, and I learned them from MARK TWAIN

The Classic Doctor Who channel on Pluto is playing a Fourth Doctor story, but the closed captions are from a Seventh Doctor story with Ace. I believe it is Curse of Fenric. How does that happen?

I have been meaning to get this book for ages, and just noticed today that the eBook version is $2.99 from at least two sources, so, no excuse not to read it now!

Reading a variety of news stories in the last few days, from multiple unrelated sources and about multiple unrelated topics -- one thing I've noticed is they all referred to the Gulf of MEXICO. hahahahahahahahahahaha you goddamn orange maggot, everyone is going to ignore your BS

This is one of America's saddest days, but it pales in comparison to the days that are coming for so many here.

Can confirm. They are SO good

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Just a reminder going forward... (cartoon from 2003)

I am at the war on California. I’m at the war on Iran. I’m at the combo war on California and Iran.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Finally turned on the portable dehumidifier today because my central AC sucks at dehumidifying. I guess that means it's really summer

What's your sign?

That awesome pic going around of the crowd on the Golden Gate Bridge? yeah, um... that's not from yesterday. Note the dates on these articles that used it. www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti... www.latimes.com/local/la-gol...

I recorded this song in 2015 but it seems like a good thing to repost in 2025. #allyoufascistsareboundtolose

thinking about how Joe Biden should have put Trump in jail on January 21st 2021

I still get goosebumps every time I hear the snare rat-a-tat followed by glorious harmonies in "God Only Knows." My version can come nowhere near the original, which is perfect. But we tried. I'm proud of it even though it can't hold a candle to the real version. Thanks, Brian, for the song.

3 weeks since the hip replacement. 3 down, 49 to go (based on it being essentially a 12-month process, even if you are "recovered" much sooner). I dreamed last night that I just went out and started walking down my street at full speed, super strong. I actually haven't had walking dreams before.

But if a few people in masks start lighting stuff on fire? Then you have news. This creates an *enormous* attentional advantage towards the most violent and chaotic kind of protest.

Outrageous news coming out! You're fired, you're fired, everyone is fired. This is what RFK Jr did today to CDC vaccine advisory panel. Sound alarms, this is a dismantling of science that public health is built on. #ResignRFKJr #saveCDC #savepublichealth www.cnbc.com/2025/06/09/r...

The CDC is being gutted. Experts are being pushed out. Science - and people’s HEALTH - is under attack. We can’t do this alone. We need voices, bodies, solidarity. 📍Please come out Tuesday to support. Stand with us to #SaveCDC Because when public health falls, we all feel it.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

64quartets.wordpress.com/2025/06/02/f... Please do read the latest of @bowiesongs.bsky.social’s Four Tops tetralogy. As usual, it’s a brilliant introduction to a forgotten part of music history, but also a beautiful bit of prose.

Share the post. You know what to do.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
