I don’t really respond well to religious ritual or obligation being positioned as something you must do so a ghost doesn’t punish you, but when it’s framed as something that can offer you clarity and enrichment? Yeah that works. And yes this is very Jewish of me.

Diadema is mostly blind, so Sirena lures in tasty sailors. Don't let her pink hair fool you, she's quite deadly 🤭✨

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) said in a yet-to-be-published proposed rule Friday that it’s drawing up plans to radically crack down on mail voting by sending ballots only to voters who are registered with the federal government. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Team invertebrates. You know me.

MerMay has been a bit of a bust this year (life is hard) but I'm working hard to get back on a regular posting schedule. So! I am posting these dry photos of the morpho gown by Bryan Humphey from Dragon Con 2025. #FantasyPhotography #cosplay

I'm hearing reports that the NY State Assembly just passed the plug-in solar vote by a wide margin, joining the State Senate. Assuming the governor signs it, that will be the 8th state making it legal (and the biggest). A groundswell across the country, and so many thanks to great organizers!

I am sick of the nonstop political content on here, so tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this totally apolitical Fuck Ice Tote Bag. Finally, something we can all agree on. Ice is too cold. It ruins drinks. collabs.shop/auqld7

Begging streamers/ creators to give an actual shit with their morals. To have a backbone and empathy and care. If you use gen-ai in ANYWAY or can't -not- promote / support icky games, you are in shared spaces you know why those are bad. Begging for change in gaming spaces.

🧵Are you still on Spotify, despite knowing that they've run ICE ads &/or that they pay artists scandalously little? I was too, despite knowing the latter for years, bc I couldn't begin to figure out how & where to move. Then the ads happened & I finally snapped & figured it out. Here's what I did:

Reposts are extremely appreciated as I am in a major financial slump rn. 🥹 Commissions slots are open for: - Surprise me Sketches: $35 (first 2 images) - Quick & Cute Sketches: $50 (last 2) Both have add-ons available like rendering or flat colors. 💚 - vgen.co/himefrills ☕️ - ko-fi.com/himefrills

More seriously, though, I look forward to this quote showing up in First Amendment protest cases. Well done, Mr. Mullin.

This is a really great point, and I'm glad someone brought it up. This is a valid choice and makes sense, especially if you dem party isn't running a candidate at all. You have to use what power you have. 1/

still think Ds should make a massive investment in libraries, post office, public universities as a way to jump start civil society and cut unemployment.

ok I used kagi.com for like 72 hours, it was so patently clear how huge an improvement it is for search that I signed up. money well spent, RIP google

Massachusetts is now the first state to certify a rideshare driver union after granting Lyft and Uber drivers' collective bargaining rights. This is the largest new private-sector union in over 85 years. 70,000 workers are now represented by the App Drivers Union.

It's day 26 of #MenstrualHealthAwarenessMonth, and today we're talking vaccines. Anyone remember when the COVID-19 vaccines started rolling out, and people began posting on social media that their periods had gone a bit haywire? Periods were early, late, heavier, lighter. 1/9 #PeriodFriendlyWorld

I just called my Rep about this! It was very easy, I emphasized that I had chosen to leave Twitter three years ago, and I find it troubling that public safety is being offloaded to a private website, especially one owned by someone who is so dangerous.

Some commentary about my most recent tarot card, Strength 🐙🐡

The unforgivable sin among our ruling class, incl. media courtiers, is being correct *from the left* when the ruling class is wrong. It will get you permanently exiled. Being wrong in the same way as everyone else is best. Being wrong, but from the right, is second best. Both will be memory-holed.

A lot of people think "violence" strictly means one individual causing physical pain to another individual, but it's more than that. Withholding access to the necessary functions of life kills more people than weapons and fists. That is violence, too.

A primary way we grew our county Democratic party from 400 to nearly 7,000 members in 5 years? TONS of social events - happy hours, coffees, family picnics, BYO lunches. Progressives feel so isolated our deep red county. Providing opportunities to meet likeminded neighbors is a game changer.

why does the “you can’t fight it” rhetoric around AI feel so familiar?? 🤔

Noticing how most holidays strayed further from their meaning to signify "a day off" and then to "a day to sell shit" is one of those "let this radicalize you" moments. Navigate capitalism as best you can, and sure, snag a deal along the way, but it is really kinda fucked up.

I have to convince my neighbors to buy another ~50 native plants before I leave for Connecticut on June 5th (doing a mural in Willimantic!!!). I’m worried they’ll die while I’m gone if they don’t get into bigger pots. If you’re a Philly person and want to plant any of these species, get at me!

apropos of nothing at all if you point out someone's logical fallacy and their reaction is to insult you and refuse to make any sort of counterargument it is a good sign that you are right and is also very funny.

I drew these two mermen specifically for #mermay Roach and Ned Low are a mackerel and a great white shark. A patient doctor and a reckless patient. And simply two lovers🩷🩶 #OFMD #OFMDmermay

what if. instead of getting a job I just give all my money to PADI dive school and its instructors? Get like. 12 certifications.

And once again…HE TOLD Y’ALL HE WAS GOING TO DO THIS!!! He wrote it down in Project 2025 and a lot of y’all ignored the warning, made excuses for not voting for Harris, or stayed home. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/what-pr...

One thing you are absolutely not allowed to talk about in our culture is how it feels to be an unattractive woman. Even mentioning it makes people angry and defensive. And if you dare to express negative emotions about it you are accused of being bitter or harboring sour grapes. It’s not ideal!

Many of his voters are fine with this as long the people they hate are suffering. It's actually important to understand this.

I made a frutiger aero soft soap themed xenomorph...

thank you to everyone who sent this to me

Such a great episode!

We have ICE and not healthcare because this country won't fix its heart. We aren't getting healthcare for all until we do.

@sonotthekraken.bsky.social and I were excited to see new OFMD merch AT Costco today XDDD

It's actually #WorldGothDay. Smh. I do know these things, promise.

Happy #InternationGothDay! I was thinking about waiting until October to share these ghostly photos I took with Brett Stanley#InternationGothDay!at MerMagic Con 2026, but today is the perfect time for a preview. #ghost #underwaterportrait

They liken AI to the dawn of computing, but I remember when PCs started to get popular. People were excited because we could see how useful they were. AI is the product of tech companies being too big and powerful, trying to dictate to their customers rather than provide services.

Creature performer/actor Doug Jones will get the spotlight in documentary GET ME DOUG JONES. The doc will explore how an actor and mime became one of Hollywood’s most sought after performers when it comes to creating fantastic creatures in full body make-up & costumes.
