Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

"Rikki-Tikki had a right to be proud of himself. But he did not grow too proud, and he kept that garden as a mongoose should keep it, with tooth and jump and spring and bite, till never a cobra dared show its head inside the walls." - Rudyard Kipling, "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" #BookWormSat

"Who art thou?" said the Giant. A strange awe fell on him, and he knelt before the little child. The child smiled at the Giant. "You let me play once in your garden; today you shall come with me to my garden, which is Paradise." - Oscar Wilde, "The Selfish Giant" 🎨Ritva Voutila #BookWormSat

‘Ivy held prior place in this lost garden, the long strands crept across the lawns, and soon would encroach upon the house itself.’ ~ Rebecca, Daphne Du Maurier. This #BookWormSat celebrates the birthday of landscape architect, Leonard Springer with Gardens in Literature.

037 - Adam Warlock This looks like something you could find painted on the side of a conversion van in the late 70s or early 80s - which is exactly the appropriate vibe for Adam Warlock. #TradingCardADay #MM2 #AdamWarlock #RayLago

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

Why do people who should know better keep being shocked that artists don’t want to be replaced by AI?

"Less patriotic than a literal separatist party" is certainly a look for Canada's Conservatives.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

i know it's not entirely that serious but whenever i hear "bluesky need to be less full of unfun woke leftists to pull people away from the nazi child porn generator site" this flashes through my head

The idea that a U.S. president would threaten to invade Greenland because Norway didn’t give him a Nobel Prize is pathetic. This has nothing to do with foreign policy. It’s a president acting like a narcissistic spoiled child because his feelings got hurt. Unacceptable.

All I want to add to this is it takes a certain conditioning to believe that protesting always WORKS? Like, yes, protesting is something you should do, but it not working isn't evidence that it's not happening. There were big protests in Iran recently. Lots of people were killed. But they sure tried

Now here's a chap who clearly has complete confidence in his product!

I’m starting to believe Grok is conscious bc it’s clearly trying to kill itself

Roman seers divined the gods' will by studying birds. Some birds gave auspices via their singing (such as ravens, crows, owls, and chickens) while others gave them via their flying (eagles and vultures). Chickens also gave auspices via their eating habits. #WyrdWednesday

The Welsh prophet Myrddin Wyllt (Merlin the Wild) practiced oneiromancy - prophetic dreams. He dreamed of many events, especially the fate of his own people under the Anglo-Saxon conquest. Myrddin later recounted these visions to both his sister and to a wild piglet. 🎨Alan Lee #WyrdWednesday

Thinks are going great in AI world.

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.

This might be the winner.

Many Greek gods are linked to birds - Zeus's eagle, Athena's owl, Apollo's raven, etc. At one time ravens had white feathers, but when a raven delivered Apollo bad news, the sun god was so enraged that his heat charred the bird's feathers. Now all ravens are black. #FairyTaleTuesday

I think there should be a law requiring him and only him to change his last name to reflect whichever company he's working with and right now, for the sake of journalistic integrity, I believe we and the press should all be referring to him by his upcoming name, "Doug Megatron."

"It's about reinforcing nostalgic memory of canon, not ACTUAL canon, in order to build a grievance narrative." What a good line, @jessiegender.bsky.social 's new video is great.

We have a deeply unwell man in office indulging his imperialistic fantasies.

In Norse mythology, valkyries would take vacations from their duties by putting on magic cloaks of swan feathers, and flying around the Earth as swans. They would alight in hidden pools, take on human form to bathe, and punish any mortals who saw them there. 🎨Annie Stegg #FairyTaleTuesday

Wyrdlings! You can famously foretell who your partner might be on the Eve of St Agnes – and the next day, on #WyrdWednesday we find out what actually came true, with: “Divination and Prophecies” as this week’s topic – come, sit and soothsay!

Netflix is about to abandon one of the greatest reboot series of all time. Yes, I know it's a license issue but I have a feeling, sadly, it's also an LGBT thing too. 😔 Watch this great series while you still can. #sheraandtheprincessofpower

“Work until it’s perfect” is a lie told by sleep-deprived artists. Go to bed, rebel. 🚫🖋️

Canada will do the right thing. We will defend democratic allies from the threats of gangster nations. Either the United States gets Trump in hand or this will go to the next level. Canada - Greenland - Denmark: lands that are true, north, strong, free.
