Of course not. That would expose how much they’re failing us at everything that matters. Best just “clean up” the CBD. ‘Cause that worked so well other places, like the Brothers’ Home in Busan. 😤

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

I am Confusion. In @seananmcguire.bsky.social’s Aftermarket Afterlife, Mary talks about “Quiet Coyote”. I’m a Kiwi. I have no clue what the h*ck this is, nor does my New Orleanian spouse. Beloved Seanan fans, please educate me?

“Not to be mean or condescending but fuck these hungry, homeless people. ALL LIVES MATTER” ~ famous quote from Jesus Christ as he polished off a second fish sandwich

What a miserable human you have to be to hate on free libraries and LFPs.

I can’t drink plain water. It has to have cordial or carbonation or something flavourful added. I’ve put my body into shock by drinking plain water, it’s that intense. Our tap water, growing up, was green with algae half the year, brown with silt the other half. Cordial was used to cover it up.

There isn’t a food stamp situation in Aotearoa New Zealand, but there are “Benefits”. These are paid weekly. If you have a partner, the partner gets paid half of your entitlement. I didn’t know how poor we were growing up. I didn’t learn the bargain hunting until my teen years.

I am still, as an adult who pays taxes, paying the costs of those years of my life. I go to the dentist more often than anyone should have to. I have food aversions and anxieties that I would not wish on another soul. We can be better than this. We have to be better than this.

Starving children is never okay. And as someone who has belonged to that social strata, yeah, there's fraud, because the system has been set up to make it impossible to be a part of society without it. Stinking, blood-covered teens with rotting teeth are not welcome very frequently.

If I hadn’t been following you on Twitter for years, the “…not to be condescending…” alone would have my ass signing that dotted line. There’s an informal code of conduct here in Aotearoa - “don’t be a dick”. This complainer needs to take that to heart.

Me: *exists* Migraine: *sneaks up for a Surprise Stage 3* Hai ☺️ Me: …fuck. *doses self with: -caffeine -electrolytes -gentle physio exercises -massage -an orgasm -sugar* Migraine: we’re SUCH good friends now, I’ve practically moved in! Me: 😩😭😩

I’m so fucked off with “futuristic” fix having multiple planets to habituate & STILL USING CAPITALISM. Ain’t no fucking way we’re getting to other planets with capitalism. Capitalists are too busy cutting off their noses so they can line their wallets to think that far ahead.

Oh, the Joys of Migrainesville while Neurospicy. I need to Stim to regulate myself, so I can cope with the pain & shit. But the Stimming aggravates the symptoms. Which mean I need to do more to regulate. …lo, a Feedback Loop.

Forgive me, Chicago, I was not aware of your game

It’s Wild just how many spoons I get back by using eyelid tape. …well, when I don’t stab myself in the eye in the process, at any rate…

@seananmcguire.bsky.social I cannot be the only one who has asked this, but here goes: Toby Daye Perfume Line When…?? Because there are some truly delectable scents described in the series & I need the reality of them for a recreational Sniff-Snorff ASAP. Pretty, PRETTY please?

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

The United Nations Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture's statement demonstrates that the Waikeria and Paremoremo megaprisons must close, as they result in miscarriages of justice and human rights violations against Māori and youth. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/10/u...

“Willis, Corrections Minister Mark Mitchell and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon all backed the current policy approach, regardless of the fiscal impacts.” This government goes to such great lengths to cut off its nose in order to spite its face. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/10/u...

Did Air Traffic Controllers just start the general strike?!?? 🤝 “…Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed that many air traffic control workers were calling out sick.” Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/... #GeneralStrike #ShutItDown #AirTrafficControllers #50501movement

Brains really do be like. Like… I wonder if fashion will cycle back around to tight trousers, skinny jeans & the like before I die. 😅

I swear, if NCT127 don’t make 2027 THE BIGGEST DEAL & re-release all their music without You Know Who, imma throw some hands. It’s too perfect to ignore. I propose making all of January 2027 a blatant celebration of All Things Ilichil. All in favour…? (SM could Never, but a kid’s gotta dream 😅)

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

😑 All of these questions don’t allow the correct answers, either. That’s a big ol’ Y I K E S from Me.

DID Y’ALL KNOW Despite the international success of @seananmcguire.bsky.social’s October Daye series, in which Muir Woods plays a HUGE role The “Fiction” section of the Muir Woods Wikipedia page has Zero Mention of it 🙀😭 It does, however, include a single scene from a Hitchcock film.😑 #Priorities

I love this. I love how stylish Seanan is, how wonderfully supportive her fans are, & how excited we all are to see these dresses all together.

The chances of you showing up to the Hugos with a swan tucked under your arm like the fanciest of bags is nonzero

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

#Secret_Number member 민씨 (Minshi) is DANGEROUSLY emaciated. #K-pop is terrible about weight in the first place but holy heck that young lady needs medical intervention.

Titanic. At a whole 7 years of age. Kate Winslet being my forever favourite actress clearly has NOTHING to do with this.

"Nazi It Coming" for $800, please

Everything about the fascistic white supremacist virulence that's overrunning the US is a return to tradition, not a departure from it. White supremacist despotism is quintessentially US. That's why this country inspired Hitler. A new society won't be gained by clinging to nostalgic lies and myths.

the history of the united states is of consistently *almost* meeting moments of crisis with transformative change, before rapidly backpedaling at the last second. reconstruction was sabotaged, the new deal didn't go far enough, and racial integration was never finished. ours is a history of failure.

The Orange County Mayor, which encompasses Orlando, signed an agreement to cooperate with ICE as he, along with the entire board of county commissioners, were threatened with removal from office if they didn't. They should've forced DeSantis to do it and not take the cowardly way out.

Y’all got ANY idea how fucking difficult it is to train yourself not to force your eyeballs to do things they can’t actually do?

“They’re still your parents” “Parents are always worried about their children” “Your parents want what’s best for you” It’s twenty twenty-fucking-five. Boot that bullshit narrative into the bin where it belongs. Normalise cutting off toxic relatives.

Most adults to unruly teens/YAs: Get your head out your ass, your parents are decent people doing their best for you! Most adults to Teen Me: Get your head out your ass, your parents are abusive fuckheads. GTFO of there.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was tortured at CECOT. He was subjected to severe beatings, severe sleep deprivation, inadequate nutrition, and psychological torture; forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM; and threatened with transfer to the cells with gang members who would "tear" him apart.

#Weenee is a great fandom name & all but let me be very clear. I’m a #WonHoe.

Dear JYPE, FEED YOUR WIMMINS. ITZY are so underweight there’s barely enough tissue to support their SHOULDERS, let alone knees or hips. Fun Facts: Femme idols don’t have to be skeletal to be gorgeous. Or to be skilled performers. Having enough calories to build muscle helps protect joints.

Brian, you can just straight up admit you’re a racist, bigoted, prejudiced asshole. Stop claiming that this is about religion & own up to your own shortcomings. Also… “no other gods BEFORE me” implies other gods exist. Just that Christians should have their god as their Ult Bias.

Ffs why was ANY ammunition aimed above knee-height?? Hell, why was any ammunition used at all?!

Dear SM Ent, Where the fuck are y’all stashing WinWin?!? Give him back. Cezennie miss him. Wayv do their best, but it’s clear they miss him terribly. Give. Him. BACK.

Absolute fucking 🔥. "Over eight hours...people throwing back tear gas...throwing anything that they could to defend themselves...Border Patrol retreated. “And the hundreds of workers in the factories were able to escape. If any community was going to fight back without apology, it was this one."

Authoritarians manufacture crises and straight up make shit up to justify stealing power and rights from the people. These are classic tactics. This is not unexpected. So why do Dems seem so consistently unprepared for each play he makes?

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds justified banning a non-Christian religious display on the grounds of the state Capitol building by saying the it would be "harmful to minors." apnews.com/article/sata...

This fuckin sucks man.

Coming out at 34 is crazy because no one (who you want in your life) questions if you're "sure". They just go "Okay you're trans now" and even if they have negative feelings they respect you as an adult. We should respect children the exact same way. Yes, they're sure.
