@catsofyore.bsky.social Sorry to put this out on front street -- I'm digitizing my mom's decades of saved photos and cards, and plan to deaccession (toss) the original paper. I just don't have the space. May I send the cat ones to you, for your collection? You can DM me. :)

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Most of my life has been rage, bitterness, and exhaustion. It's good to have been able to find a place near the end of the Earth to slow down and chill. I hope you can find that near the end of wherever you are. In the meantime, enjoy tonight's pelican festival 🪶

I got my $1 and my apology. I met falsehood with resolve, and I claimed my own voice by defending it. And in that single dollar, my truth stands taller than every lie told. Let it be known: I will never back down.

The bill to reopen the gov will enable the crucial work of the Library of Congress to continue, but we still need to secure funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services as well as the National Archives. www.everylibrary.org/2026_minibus via @everylibrary.bsky.social

This article is fascinating, and gives me hope for '26 www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

A dear friend is a Starbucks union leader. Starbucks bullies & intimidates employees for trying join unions. They use dirty tricks like denying raises & cutting hours if employees mention unions. The close profitable stores because they're unionized. Fuck Starbucks. I stand with the workers.

The most unbelievable thing about the Progressive “stop young homeowners from turning into their parents” commercials is acting like young people in this country can afford a house.

I told my wife that kids online were daring each other “kind of like a Bloody Mary thing” to listen to this cursed song that a dead child molester recorded in the eighties and I asked her if she wanted to hear it and she wasn’t sure but she said yes And she was so mad at me when it was “Thriller”

Very happy to learn -- via thousands of fireworks going off in our high fire danger area -- that yes, the Dodgers won 🎆🎇🤘

Halloween is such a perfect holiday to reground yourself in your community. Just throngs of different people wandering the neighborhood with their kids appreciating strangers for helping create something magical. This is what most of us crave.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

812,000 Arizonans don't have a representative right now because Republicans refuse to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The GOP must stop playing games with our democracy.

I have yeeted the LMS my uni has paid for and which you were probably thinking helps you teach Forgive me it was surveillant so mid and so broke

Cory Doctorow’s theory of “enshittification” explains how tech platforms rot from within. As AI grows more profitable—and powerful—it risks the same fate.

That was a great way to shut up his mouth. George Stephanopoulos did not let Vance intimidate him and the result is very satisfying.

A protest sculpture depicting Trump with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein appeared briefly on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., bearing the caption “Best Friends Forever.” (This photo was shared with us the piece was installed by an anonymous artist collective.)

What I wouldn't give to take a gander at the PubMed search analytics rn.

According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document." Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/

if only Black people went to Klan meetings to debate their humanity

Also, where are the fucking Epstein files?!?!

Libby needs to update their final holds notice from "available soon" to "will now be available at the most inconvenient time". #booksky problems.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
