Behold the impossibly adorable murder kitten.

If people knew how much willpower we use to be semi functional at all under the weight of ableism and unhelpful judgment they'd go crawl into the ocean from embarrassment.

Railroad Commissioner also oversees utilities. This guy won't care if the utilities are prepared for hurricanes, wildfires, or winter freezes and Texans will pay the price

Name notwithstanding, the main function of the Texas Railroad Commission is in regulating the energy industry in Texas. This isn’t some obscure state agency, folks, the three Railroad Commissioners are some of the most powerful officials in the state.

The end of the month is approaching and i have 29 bucks to my name for groceries and bills until next monday. That's not gonna cover anything. I would be delighted if you hit me up for commissions.

YEP! Wait until you find out how Google was started with a sub $1m NSF grant, GPS was developed with fed funding, we've reduced overdose deaths by 25% with fed funding, and of 354 new medications released between 2010-2019 99.4% of them were started by NIH grants/funded labs.

American women are non-persons if doctors are forbidden by law from saving our lives. We are property of a theocratic state--human sacrifices to the patriarchy.

Somers' resolution would indefinitely delay rail to Ballard, the Graham Street Station, the Boeing Access Road station, kill Sounder North, delay the 4 Line to Issaquah to the 2050s, and risk incompletion of the other projects -- rather than obtain new funding and find ways to build more affordably.

Boy got a new police ID that gives him some discounts. He's a dispatcher, not a cop, but cop union. His new ID says he's blond. He has never been blond. Very dark hair. The proofreader in me is extremely disdainful.

Today I called the cops. Neighbor is a contractor, rebuilding his own deck, and his crew started up power tools at 6:55 am. Right outside my bedroom window. I checked & town regs say Not Before 8 am. Tried filing a complaint on line; flawed system. So I called the non-emergency number.

ARTISTS, archives have EXTRAORDINARY things in them, and you can boggle your mind AND OURS AND THEY PAY YOU Also archivists are usually delightful company and have terrific stories to share.

Excellent article. Yet another damaging taking of Indigenous land for purposes that do not serve Indigenous people. Mostly serve tech, actually, not area residents AT ALL.

We just learned last week that Kat was never truly indicted. The grand jury in Chicago returned a no true bill. Prosecutors then had to tell anyone who didn't want an indictment to leave and cajole someone in the hallway until they returned an indictment. Please, go to jury duty and raise hell.

File this under things not to say to a Black person, fellow white people. Please think about why that is. REALLY think. 👇👇
