The Morrill Fire in Nebraska has killed 1 and consumed 549,000 acres with 0% containment. This is more than 10% of the entire area burned by U.S. wildfires in 2025, and makes it one of the 20 largest fires in U.S. history. Sunday forecast is grim: High Wind Warning, 25-35 mph winds, gusting to 50.

I am currently manufacturing an entire winter’s worth of vitamin D.

This was my first trip to katsucon, and my two takeaways are: A) the con goers are mostly in their 20s. And I was happy to be there with some friends my own age. B) katsu loves a fancy costume. The more fancy, the more love. Congoers do not need to recognize it, as long as it’s fancy.

Managed a cosplay this weekend

600 -700ish+ nuclear warheads on missiles ready to fly 24/7/365 & Trump has virtually unrestricted launch authority. Protest, mass & other remains necessary. Contacting Congress—toadying wretches that most of them are—remains necessary. A diversity of tactics is necessary.

I really wish I could see the per customer spend graph of online fabric stores. Based on their email advertising, I think they make most of their money from fabric hoarding whales.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

participated in art swap at @pokecommunity.com for halloween and made a masterpiece for someone

"So that’s why, every year on the day before the last day of Autumn, the town commemorates him with a Bloody Fire Social. Pray Lord Scholar He watch over us and kill all the villains.” It's the yearly Halloween shoot! Happy Spooky Season, all. #cosplay #TGCF #HeXuan

Day 30 - Spooky/Character in Costume Happy Halloween from Mikkabochan (I know, I know, that was bad). Inspired by some delightful fanart on Twitter - x.com/siokaze58/st... - and my desire to have my own Date Masamune jack-o-lantern. (1/2) #cosplay #costober #刀剣乱舞 #燭台切光忠

Black men legally carrying guns had them so shook that Governor Ronald Reagan signed California's first gun control law in 1967.

Day 15! Something that isn't a reblog! Favorite prop is... The anchor. Look, it's not often you make something you like so much that you eventually get a tintype taken with it. #costober #cosplay #sengokubasara

Day 14 - Smile Ryukyu trio, AKA forcing @pinnedtogether.bsky.social and @ap1ary.bsky.social to take cute summer photos with me. #costober #cosplay #刀剣乱舞 #北谷菜切 #千代金丸 #治金丸

Day 13 - Meme I think the combo of JJBA and Majima Everywhere is like, double-meme. Featuring @pinnedtogether.bsky.social as Pirate Majima, @ap1ary.bsky.social as Shinsengumi Majima, and two very fun strangers we met at D*C dressed as the JJBA sign and sound effects. #cosplay #costober

Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

For those blissfully unfamiliar with Touken Ranbu I feel I should let you know that one of the artifact spirits of a sword manifested as a human being feels that swords are obsolete and carries a gun.

8月10日は鳩の日！ Aug 10 is Pigeon Day. #birds

despite everything, i still believe in the potential of humankind to create utopia. but it will require hard work, courage, and above all else extremely deep v-necks that go almost down to the dick

AMAZING

you are not alone.

“When they dug into the topic more, they got ‘fascinated by this idea that the Stasi were really spending billions of dollars, an enormous amount of human resources, to capture the same type of data that we give away today for convenience, without really understanding the long-term implications…’”

I like the fact that English speakers call Grifola frondosa “Hen of the woods” #birds

Every time some elected democrat sucks off Reagan, I think about Duane.

Are you doomscrolling? Would you prefer to scroll through a post by post travel diary of train travel in Japan? This thread is delightful, there are a lot of trains.

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA Ppl seem to think that "NOAA weather forecasts" means climate-, boat-, or "in addition to my app"-weather. But the weather forecasts *we all use* are made from the NOAA data *we all paid for* Make that part clear when you ⬇️

Oh! Hey! If you haven’t read SWORDHEART, the shiny new edition from Tor Bramble is out today! And it is super shiny! www.amazon.com/Swordheart-T...

if the thing is too easy for you, you aren't the target audience and should already be doing other, harder things. but don't publicly shit on others who have different life experiences than you if you ever want them to eventually do the harder things

I paid with cash this morning and confused everyone.

I love a fancy lad doublet. And this one is beautiful.

I know spring is coming by the 4pm sunbeam through the window. Earlier this month the sun would set behind the house up the hill around 2pm.

That's one small blep for a perfect princess sweet bean baby cat, one giant blep for perfect princess sweet bean baby catkind

The #SanInLine wends its way down to the sea, tunnelling through the hills between tiny cove villages, sprayed by waves and almost seeming to come from another time, another reality. Definitely sit on the seaside side (as it were) if you can. #Japan

This is just to say I have fired the bureaucrats throughout your government Even the ones that were probably keeping planes in the air Forgive me I am not very smart So efficiency Much savings

Spent some cold and windy time today checking out an art.

“Stopping government waste” is a red herring to license a catastrophic reduction in government staffing which will make government services either practically or literally unavailable. Watch them raise my taxes this year while they take away everything I pay for.

Oh, it’s almost time to start my emotional support seedlings for the summer. Can I grow my way out of my problems? Maybe this year.

I want someone to explain to me in plain language what Musk’s end game is. Destroying the government to gobble all the money like a hungry hungry hippo is a strategy, but where does he think he’s going with it?

I’m helping out with BSM this month. It still exists! I occasionally leave my house!

I remember reading something about the "Stay At Home Girlfriend" Movement from a former stay at home girlfriend and she said "When you give a man the power to feed you, you give him the power to starve you."

Canadian TV host: How are you today? Me: We kinda got some stuff going on but swell, how about you Canadian TV Host: [look of pity]

I made a new video! Watch with me as I spin up the whole jacob wool fleece I processed earlier. Check it out at the link below or by going to my youtube channel of the same name (BeQueerMakeStuff). https://buff.ly/4hqOWaP #Wool #Fleece #Spinning #FiberArts #Video #YouTube #Queer #Trans

Anecdotally, the Dems’ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way. At least according to..the Mom-o-meter. My Mom before Tues: You’re doing what? Where? This can’t be a national emergency. Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?
