🇫🇷⚡ France’s power market just hit a new extreme: record-breaking negative electricity prices. In April, 90% of days saw zero or below-zero prices on the day-ahead market. At one point, prices plunged to -€479/MWh amid midday solar oversupply 📉

Everything is fine bc the business of profiting off of other ppl’s misery is booming! Thanks, Meta. 👌

@sofiaresnick.bsky.social and I put together an FAQ about the current situation with telehealth access to mifepristone, four days before we expect to learn more about how SCOTUS will act on it.

Luckily husb bday is 7/4. We go full patriotic bullshit. Garish red white & blue bc fuck them, that’s why. It’s ours, they can’t have it. We had dumb party last year & no shit 2 bald eagles flew over (never seen before or since). have the fun if you can. Why should they get to be happy & we sads?

Please consider dropping Amazon if you haven’t. You can do it. Every time you order from them you feel complicit. You don’t have to. 🫶 I dropped it 6 yrs ago & have never missed it.

I want to go to there.

Hey, so, the ballroom is now $1B & taxpayer funded. So. 🤦‍♀️

Midnight, so naturally I am checking to see if Magnolia Pearl still exists. Somehow, it does. magnoliapearl.com/collections/...

Listening to Virginia Giuffre’s book. Ugh. 😣 Release the Epstein files. Hold public hearings. Hold the child rapists accountable.

Yiiiiikes.

4. Meanwhile, detainee deaths at ICE facilities are skyrocketing. From 2018 to 2024, the average number of people who died in ICE custody annually was 8.9. Since ICE stopped medical reimbursements on October 3, 2025, people have been dying in ICE custody at a rate of 51.7 people annually.

Biggest qualm w/the Farm Bill (HB7567) - it doesn’t fix that veterans, unhoused, teens transitioning out of foster care, & parents of 14 & up lost their work requirement exemption with the BBB & this doesn’t fix that. Source- thehill.com/homenews/555... 5calls.org/issue/farm-b...

Our first Phidippus Audax Big Bend female has matured, and just look at those colours! 😍 There's a reason why they're one of our favourite species. This special girl doesn't have a name yet, so any suggestions are welcome! 🧡 #jumpingspider

Too Scary Didn’t Watch is a lovely podcast escape. It’s 3 funny ladies whose friendship & humor are treasures. 2 are too scared to watch horror films but are interested in them so the 3rd describes them. More fun than it sounds. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Random. I’m watching Oliver Stone’s JFK. We had it on vhs when I was growing up and my mom must’ve watched it 1,000 times. I’ve never seen it as an adult…

With all this talk about birds I want to be sure everyone knows about the Birds Feed. All birds all the time, posted by real photographers and artists and no AI slop!

It’s a delight of aging that we suddenly *notice*. The birds visit you. You only have to notice.

Paint what you love! ❤️ 🎨 My dad was a meteorologist and my mom was an artist. Not surprisingly I paint a lot of storms. 😊

Hell yeah.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

This is what librarianship has taught for years....and as we have underfunded/defunded and closed libraries and (Idaho) refuse to have certified librarians at elementary level, we get generations of information illiterate. Libraries are more than just books, librarians do more then sling books.

“It speaks to a broken kind of politics…”

Hunted me down with a gun.

#Idaho Legislator Bruce Skaug claims he's protecting "women & from transgenders & those who would go after our children" Exactly how many #trans people have been convicted of sexual misconduct, #BruceSkaug? How about protecting us from the heteros? idahocapitalsun.com/2026/04/16/f... #BathroomBill

Idaho friends, reach out to ppl in these districts to vote in R primary to prevent more bad legislation like the trans bathroom bill: • Idaho Falls - Connor Cook v Barbara Erhardt. Connor has spoken out against Erhardt's attacks on trans community &said they’re a distraction from the budget crisis.

Go, Todd, go! 👏👏👏

omg! Hungary used groups like my community group to get out from under Orban! I should franchise! www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Do they do this bc they’re afraid they’ll have queer kids & they want to make it too scary to be queer? I simply don’t buy that they think the womenfolk are in danger in the bathroom.

Boise’s Mike Rogers is a treasure. He made my & my husb’s wedding rings. Pretty cool to get to wear a piece of original art everyday.

Oh my god. Please, please, please, Idaho Falls. I believe in you. Give us Connor Cook instead of cruel Ehardt.

Well, today we're taxing the rich...

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

It’s almost impossible to search for any kind of media on blue sky without getting some mediocre furry porn or some shit instead. They’ll put hashtags on their post that aren’t even related to what the fuck they drew.

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

To everyone who insists that voting doesn't matter and it can never make a difference: Hungarians just voted out an autocrat who had been in power for over 15 years. Voting works.
