Seeing yet another 'using whistles is disablist' piece circulating: for the 40 millionth time, using disabled people as cover like this is disgusting and calculated to prey on people who are anxious about doing the wrong thing. Doesn't escape notice that white people are the worst offenders.

A helpful tip: Blocking an account does not unfollow them. 17 people I follow still show up as following this trash basket, and I know at least some of y'all don't mean to be. Remember: Unfollow, THEN block!

So weird to have a nice day out with old friends celebrating my birthday to come home and see video of a child getting help from a street medic after the crowd she was in was tear gassed. I hate it here

Iran is STILL in a total blackout so here’s my latest piece that depicts the iconic Azadi Tower to help raise awareness. Please keep the Iranian people in your hearts as they fight for their freedom. FREE IRAN!!!

The funny thing about their poor sleep is I expected them to be up at the crack of down for the Nintendo direct. But they were sound asleep. My daughter was up and i watched it with her.

My boys slept terrible last night and I don't want them to be assholes at school so I opted to let them sleep in so of course they wokevup right when we would leave for school. I told them to go back to bed 😅

Conservatives in 2018: Dumb libs think words are violence Conservatives in 2026: Loud noises ARE LITERALLY VIOLENCE OMGGGGG bsky.app/profile/jody...

I'm really struggling because I just had an appointment with my primary care provider and she did a lot of things but she also dismissed a lot of things and I don't know how to process being dismissed but also heard at the same time.

My new vinyl cutter (that I got for making stickers) was DOA. Manufacturer replaced it The camera on the replacement isn't working. Manufacturer sent me instructions to try to fix. Manufacturer didn't send clear instructions on how to get to the area to try fix 🙃

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

I saw the video and immediately afterwards got news that a dear friend is in the hospital with a brain tumor. So I'm doing well right now

The damage and the fire blanket that saved the day

Well we just had a fire in our house

I like my kids dentists for a lot of reasons but every time he says he thinks everyone is a little ADHD or Autistic I want to scream.

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike. You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

we simply were not meant to process this much news every day. In 2004 we saw Janet Jackson’s nipple pasty on live TV for like four seconds and it was headline news for months.

Sounds like there are some cool games at the Xbox showcase? Too bad that Microsoft is one of the most harmful companies on the planet, and according to the BDS boycott campaign, "the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide"

I wish I could excited about the bruised hand and what that says, I mean I guess it does. He probably has been getting medical care regularly, because I also have an incredibly bruised right hand right now from an attempt to set up an IV line.

Watched the first episode of Starfleet Academy and outside some pacing and technical choices, liked it a lot! I'm excited to see where it goes, I think I may invite my oldest to watch it with us going forward as I was really into trek at her age

GenAI is a tool of oppression and propaganda

Cancel the World Cup and Olympics. No one should be coming here. It’s not safe at all

Cal State University’s deal with OpenAI — providing ChatGPT to all faculty, students, and staff — will expire in June 2026. Amid the prospect of layoffs in the CSU, we’re asking the chancellor not to renew this costly and demoralizing contract. Link below and anyone can sign:

UBISOFT - Call for strike Following the disastrous announcements made by Mr. Yves Guillemot (cost-cutting plan, projects scrapped, end of remote working, etc.), the Solidaires Informatique union is calling for a strike on Thursday, January 22, in the morning.

So I found out that apparently if you can prove you're a direct descendant of a Canadian citizen you can apply for Canadian citizenship no matter how far back! No luck on my side of the family but it looks like my Husband's Great Great Grandmother was born in Ontario!

People are screaming that it’s an insult to Anne Boleyn’s memory to be played “by a man” as though Anne Boleyn wouldn’t be like “…what other option is there?”

GOALIE FIGHT!!!!

I use a blink system for my home. It is owned by Amazon but it has local storage. I also block out areas of my camera for my neighbors privacy. I only need to see the space on my property. I don't need to spy on my neighbors.

Home Assistant is free and powerful. Reolink are quality cameras and doorbell cams that don't require an internet connection and can stream solely to your own private HA server, which can then be locked down and viewed remotely from its app. Get rid of Ring.

I'm home. Nothing serious but the doctor said I made the right call coming in. Time to eat and go to bed

Yes, the triage pit me down for anxiety (why the fuck would I come to the ER for anxiety) so she the ER doctor put me on code (redacted) to speed up the process and get all the tests as quick as possible the ER staff was all

In ER for (reacted) and it's so clear that triage is labeling me as a stressed house wife and I hate it.

"we don't want people thinking Democrats are for open borders" I am! who gives a shit!!! my life has been immeasurably improved by the presence of immigrants in my community, regardless of their status, there is literally no downside there! why would I give a shit!!!!

Iran is still in a total blackout so I continue to make art to raise awareness. I was inspired by the great @mikemignola.bsky.social to do this piece depicting a modern uprising against the corrupt Zahhak from the Shahnameh. FREE IRAN!!!

as a lifelong Californian we are fucking screaming, crying, begging, throwing up, if you allow Gavin Newsom to be the democratic candidate please understand that he is literally Ronald Reagan 2.0

Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

Pete understood the assignment. More bisexual men in games please!

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

I hate how our good dental insurance doesn't cover laughing gas. So dumb.

I love when you tell people how terrible Newsom is, they're always like, "Well, it's nice to have ideals, but if it comes down to him or the Nazi in the general, *I* am going to vote for him" WE'RE TELLING YOU HOW TERRIBLE HE IS NOW SO IT'S *NOT* A CHOICE BTW HIM & A NAZI, CARL. THAT'S THE POINT.

Hat trick!

i think gavin newsom fucking sucks and if you ever try to guilt me into voting for him i’ll scream

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

I’ve been going insane the past couple days (for obvious reasons) but was also sick of seeing all the ai slop. So I channeled my energy into something productive and drew this. The Simurgh is a benevolent bird in Persian mythology similar to a phoenix in the West. Free Iran!!
