It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

"The US has informed countries in Europe that it is stepping back from joint efforts to combat disinformation from countries such as Russia, China and Iran, according to three European officials familiar with the matter."

Brandt’s bat 🦇 in deep torpor, covered in condensation wasn’t on the bingo card for today’s swarming site check.

Gaming is like sports; it feels like one of those things that I'm just genetically inferior at. Like no matter how hard I try, everyone else already started out at a higher baseline skill level than me, and I will never be as good as them. Inevitably, it always leads me to wonder why I even bother.

Send to this any bat furries you know :3

I haven't posted on my socials in a hot minute. I've been embroiled with something I've dearly loved for a long time and, last night, finally let go of it. Seven. Long. Years. A commemorative video is up on Twitter as Bsky won't let me upload here. May even put on the channel. We shall see.

Yes! Bats make bat friendships! Bats are very intelligent and community based. Theyll help other colony bats find resources (food, roosting spots, etc) but they form individual bonds with those who help them in return. Theyll help eachother more often & even use special social calls 🦇💚🦇

Look at my stars!! 🌟🌟 Comm for @signatelli.bsky.social for @aurorapalace.itch.io!! #furry #furryart #commission #superhero

TRUTH BOMB: Did they tell you as a kid that your tiptoe walking was due to "autism"? Did they say you had to wear these heavy boots to "correct your posture"? WRONG. Your tiptoe walking was you assuming your natural digitigrade stance. Don't let your true self be erased. #DoNotBeSilenced

Today was a rough mental health day. Just one thing after another. I had to take a walk to attempt to clear my head. I walked to a local nature center, but I arrived right as it was closing, so I just ended up sitting on a rock outside. As I was getting way too deep in my own head, I heard a tap.

It's wild how taking PTO and being away from work for some extra days always makes my mental health WORSE. My brain just fucking sabotages me, I swear.

Whoever needed to hear it today CRTL + SHIFT + T

Welp now my post shows up on a general query about a REAL HISTORICAL FACT lmao. Google is cooked

I remember hearing the words "brought to you by the corporation for public broadcasting" every time I watched Sesame Street as a kid. Horrifying that this tiny pot of funds for educational media and public information is being stolen from us. www.npr.org/2025/08/01/n...

Kind of insane about this gay looking animal from beastieball tbh

If you still refer to yourself or others as a "degenerate", now is a great time to stop. Oh, you think you're a lesser person because you enjoy teeth on your neck? Get real. Rich fucks and worthless puritans will never experience even half the raw emotions you do. Be proud of that joy.

It's Riley's dev-mandated birthday! Happy birthday Riley!!

I've got such great news

More LGBTQ and Black people live in the South than anywhere else in the country. The South is also the most hideously redistricted, voter-suppressed part of the country. Yet Blue MAGA ghouls will say we all deserve to die for the sin of living where our votes are disenfranchised.

beastieball is fun cuz u can give a mushroom lizard and a racecar armadillo mycelial sports jerseys and then they start making out with eachother in the middle of a major match and get the Sweaty debuff

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

trump should’ve been in handcuffs in jan 2021 and there is no way to quantify just how much human suffering will result from the disastrous decision to slow walk his prosecution or even avoid it altogether

We keep going for three reasons: Because life is beautiful and people are worth it, because descending into despair is what they want, and out of pure, unbridled spite for their ghoulishness. Live to see their obituaries, upset them with your joy, protect each other, Stay strong.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Suck your...? I'm a fruitbat, I eat fruits! Little evening sketch :)

the moment you stop policing how other’s live their lives is the moment you free yourself to live your own

Today marks the day I obtained clout beyond my wildest dreams...

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Approaching new people online can be difficult and intimidating! You might be tempted to go with something unassuming like "hi, how are you", but I guarantee you will have more success if you go with something more specific and directed—for example, sharing a question or interest.

Happy pride month ! You're not broken ! 🎨@shyblacksheep.bsky.social

finding your people makes you realize there was nothing wrong with you

Nature is crazy.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Holy shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-...

trump is willing to deviate from GOP orthodoxy on a tiny handful of things he really cares about (e.g., tariffs), but with stuff he doesn’t care about (abortion, raising taxes on the rich) he floats popular proposals without any intention of following through, knowing the media will circulate them

batty 🦇🦊 !!

Hey all! Happy to announce Book Four, All Fools in the Inferno, has now been released for physical purchase! In the process of taking requests for signed copies. Thank you all so much! books2read.com/u/3yxj8J

People aren’t broke because they’re “splurging” on iPhones and lattes, people are broke because corporations have bought up housing, control our healthcare, and are gouging at the register.

Instead of fact-checking Trump, any story featuring him should simply state "this man has told hundreds of lies every day of his public life; everything he says should be suspect; even the things he says that happen to be true should be considered either accidental or harboring suspicious motives."
