Georgia is not living in the Sumner House but she is on death row at #nycacc with one post with only 19fucking reposts that will fucking get her killed! She’s not West and Amanda- she’s Georgia and she’s on my mind! She’s definitely a girls girl unlike Amanda! Repost

Dump’s little spittle impressive, Michael 🤭🤙🏼

My daughter's pithy summation: "Covid reminded people they lived in a society; and they hated it."

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

mother’s day isn’t all flowers and cursive. it can be hard. for moms lost, for mothers never known, for regrets or resentment or remorse. these are very real today too. we’re grateful for the moms and role models out there. but if you’re out there feeling something different, you’re not alone.

This Mother’s Day show your gratitude by supporting the farm worker moms who keep all our families fed. act.seiu.org/a/mothersday... or paypal.com/paypalme/ufw... #WeFeedYou #MothersDay

The Pike’s Peak Humane Society has a social media manager who is very good at their job

@littlekittenbit.bsky.social - Maybe of interest?

So, we've got a lonely parakeet who needs a buddy. We've been looking for a new buddy but to no avail. We may have to resort to Petco and would rather not so thought I'd set off one more flare for a parakeet who needs a home. Let me know if you have a lead and thanks!

Well, my turn to make one of these posts. Yesterday was my last day at The A.V. Club. I got laid off and the site’s Games section is basically gone. It was a pleasure working with Garrett and our freelancers. If anyone has opportunities for games/TV/film journalism or consulting please let me know.

I know some people pay money for pictures of feet. Here’s one for free.

When going out with children it's very important to let them know what's expected of them. @ogaduke_

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

People sleeping outside on benches and going to the bathroom on the sidewalk are problems of the social safety net failing and it is so much cheaper and easier to just expand the safety net than to punish people who fell through it.

Everyone should do this, but in particular artists should do this!

DC statehood yesterday

If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

Walked into my Baltimore County Public Library branch today and they had a kiosk set up for National Library Week. And whose happy face was on the poster? @mychal3ts.bsky.social It made me smile so big.

Happy 4/20 to those who celebrate!

🚨 Haley/@feederofcats’s Friends of Bear Cat Rescue needs your help! Somehow these adorable kittens STILL haven’t been adopted! As they say “These babies deserve homes and families, not to be sitting in an enclosure for a year”. Please spread the word! In CA? Adopt! www.friendsofbearcatrescue.org!

We love the library! #nationallibraryweek

Do you play video games? Do you like games that are quirky and charming and funny and contain a great little mini-game to master? You need to try Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime. Such a great game. (I am not affiliated in any way. Just a big fan.) store.steampowered.com/app/2466130/...

Vaccines are good, folks. (I know. I’m arguing to the choir here.)

@peculiarityshop.bsky.social - I’m not one of the people affected, but after reading your email this morning, I just wanted to send you a little friendly wave and say you guys are terrific and I hope everything turns up roses soon!

I think it’s way past time to retire beauty pageants.

These cats are adorable. Please give them a good home

I truly hate when little Right Wing Hitler youth open their mouths and give opinions in their over sized fake glasses, that they think will make them seem smart ,on things they know nothing about. But listen to a real farmer rip her apart.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.
