Every time I hang out with the inimitable @spacewhalerider.com in person I get caught up on all their dope posts that I never see because when I joined bluesky it had like 100 people,so I just followed the Bird People starter pack and the Entomology stater pack and my feed I mostly birds and bugs

Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

Someone was trying to take a portrait of their two fave Chickens, and this happened.

Look at how round this bird is!!! Bird of the year!!

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

Okay folks, here’s a @resist.bot letter to your Representative to tell them that the FCC chair needs to be hauled before the Oversight Committee for participating in partisan politics & being a bully club for the President. The FCC should be upholding the 1st Amendment not trying to circumvent it.

Significant layoffs at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Richland, WA) today. Hundreds of people lost their jobs and were given under 30 minutes to gather their things and be walked off the premises.

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

Christian Girl Autumn is canceled…it’s time for Fuck Fascists Fall

The U.S. government is trying to deport Ohio children’s hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, alleging tenuous connections to terrorism. If DHS succeeds, experts say it could hand the Trump admin. a “sledgehammer” to use on mass deportations. ➡️ Read the full story: www.propublica.org/article/ayma...

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

With these now explicit threats to use the Kirk killing as the pretext to attack liberal political groups, and given the Ds hold the cards at the end of the month, what are @chuckschumer.com and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social going to do about this? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

It's "great" to see my employer releasing names and information about *alleged* behavior to the Trump admin, without even telling the people who've been accused what it is that they're accused of. Utterly reprehensible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

Leg braces - $20-$30k, I’ve had at LEAST 6 leg braces. Wheelchairs - $5k for manual with no bells and whistles, I’ve had 2 Medications - anywhere between $100-$2000 /month pending health issues Surgeries - 19 surgeries $40k to - $1m inc. hospital stays I had polio. This is the cost.

As Portlander* born and raised, yes. Total hell. Never stops raining. Youths with unnatural hair color everywhere. Terrible views. Horrible food. Best stay far away, don't even go as a tourist. * kid from the country near PDX** **real Portlanders know that PDX = portland

NASA safety regs are written in blood. This isn't the Real World/Road Rules Challenge, dipshit, people died. Men and women like Gus Grissom, Ed White, Roger Chaffee, Dick Scobee, Christa McAuliffe, Judith Resnik, Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Kalpana Chawla... you cheapen their sacrifice with this.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

The thing about investing in public transit is that it *scales* — the more people use it, the better it gets. For everyone. Whereas the more cars there are, the *worse* everything about driving gets. Traffic. Parking. [Ever noticed that in just about every car ad it’s alone on the road? Yeah.]

DOJ wants to ban trans ppl from owning guns because one allegedly shot up a church. If this is the logic, then they must also want to ban allwn from owning guns, right? www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

Reminder that things are in fact worse quality for more money, that no, Elder Gen Z/millennials/gen x, you're not imagining it, nor should you accept it as "the way things are." Shirts I've had 30 fucking yrs are still wearable, but a shirt I've had 2 months & worn MAYBE twice is already unraveling

The right-wing fascist ascendancy is a global phenomenon, and hopping across borders does not mean you can actually hide from it. You may find a slightly better local maximum for your particular needs, but this is a global problem and it requires a global, solidaric solution.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

In addition I think it's because he's not been seen for a few hours, hasn't tweeted in a few hours, and, for me, the pizza intelligence is blowing up: www.pizzint.watch

Here's something I think a lot of folks don't yet understand, but 16 states' worth of CVSes refusing to give out Covid shots *is* actually preventing people from accessing them. They are the biggest pharmacy chain in the country and they own Aetna insurance, often forcing those clients to use CVS.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

This one is only for Blueskyers of a certain age.

If you read one thing today, let it be Dr. Daskalakis' resignation letter from CDC. This administration is now shattering the public trust and scientific truth it has taken the nation decades to build in public health. Devastated to think of the unnecessary deaths that will come from this HHS.

You can still get useful health information from some US government websites, if you know what you're looking for. Here's an example, which I'll explain. 🧪 ⚕️ #medsky

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

The deliberate goal is to destroy competent, responsible, fact-based government. The consequences will include a lot of people dying unnecessarily, both in the United States and internationally. On purpose.

Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

Greystar was using rent-setting algorithms from software company RealPage, the subject of a 2022 ProPublica investigation that showed the firm was helping landlords decide prices in a way that legal experts said could result in cartel-like behavior. By @heathervogell.bsky.social

Who is doing counter-recruitment organizing for ICE? As the economy worsens, those jobs and the loan forgiveness offer will become more attractive to unpoliticized individuals. There needs to be a clear social cost for even considering joining those ranks.

NASA is making plans to shut down two Earth observing satellites that provide key data to climate scientists and farmers, despite lawmakers telling them it’s illegal to do it. Story by @astrokimcartier.bsky.social eos.org/research-and...

Due to mass confusion, clarifying again: Tsunami Watch: Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude is possible; stand by. Tsunami Advisory: Tsunami is likely *but will probably be small.* Evacuations unlikely. Tsunami Warning: Tsunami is likely *and may be large.* Evacuations needed.

Maybe you need a purple rose this evening?

"They’re only cutting off one of our appendages instead of cutting us off at the torso." As soon as I said it, I knew that was the pull quote that was going in the article. Congress's proposals are a relief for sure, but the real problem is getting Trump/Vought to follow the law.
