You know why people stop playing Pokemon Go - greed and bullshit loss of multiple raid bosses even after multiple great & excellent throws. @pokemongoapp.bsky.social

You can find me at Magnuson Park Hanger 30 for Geek Craft Expo this weekend!

In Trump v. Wilcox in May the SCOTUS made clear that “for cause” protections apply to members of the Federal Reserve Board. Which means a tweet from Trump’s Fed Housing Finance Chair claiming that Cook committed mortgage fraud constitutes “cause.” And that’s bogus. This must be fought.

PS Thanks to the absolute dweeb [affectionate] who donated the exact amount to make the remainder $10,101. You're adorable.

As we're a little over $10k from our goal for the summer, we haven't been able to stock up on all we need to make every Fall product available right away on September 1st, (including the Big Big Shoumei Order). Items will trickle in as cash flow allows: much sooner if we can smash this goal! (2/2)

Last week of our pledge drive to clear tea house debt and go into the busy season strong, 83% of the way there! Transparency report: between this drive and the opportunity to vend at Worldcon, we are no longer in danger of closing our brick & mortar this year. HOWEVER (1/2) square.link/u/La2AFWmg

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

To anyone hovering right outside any retail establishment waiting for it to open - nobody likes you. I mean do you enjoy someone hovering by your desk when you first get in? And, no, pulling on the door is not going to get me to open early and I will be sorely tempted to do the opposite, in fact.

Cutting or defunding programs like Medicaid would create major gaps in state funding and devastate state budgets. We're running out of time to protect our health care. Tell Congress NO CUTS to Medicaid! sign.moveon.org/petitions/te...

Add your name to the petition demanding Congress pass legislation requiring all immigration agents to clearly display their agency and name or badge number—just like other local law enforcement are required to do. sign.moveon.org/petitions/un...

I went to the Sunday Craft Social at @monstermonstershop today and did more sketching with paint! Did you know they have a craft social every Sunday? As a bonus, the $5 you pay can be applied to anything you purchase while there! #artemiscoffee #monsterinballard #twicesoldtales #craftsocial

Last week was a long week so I let myself have a day off with no guilt. I slept in. I napped. I binge watched The Residence. Later I spent some time out in the yard with the cats reading an ebook. I also indulged in playing with colors and sketching with paint while listening to music via Pandora.

Oh holy crap! I took an edible (helps with muscle cramping) and ZONKED around 9pm last night until 5:30. I got up and fed the cats, ate some cereal, didled around online for a bit, took another edible and ZONKED until noon!

I was vending at the Wedgwood art festival on the weekend and the heat was brutal - particularly yesterday. It took me 2.5 hours to finish my tear-down and load up my car with a couple car AC breaks (I got serious heat exhaustion on Sat so was being extra cautious on Sun). It was s good show.

Our local and state governments must take proactive action immediately to defend our immigrant communities from Trump’s authoritarian agenda. sign.moveon.org/petitions/de...

My metabolism in a nutshell:

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

L.A. TACO is working on confirming the total of vendors and customers taken by ICE but it's estimated that 40 to 50 of them were detained. A video shared from a vendor's son who saw everything unfold as ICE raided the Santa Fe Springs Swap meet. Tonight's event was cancelled. @janettev.bsky.social

Welp, I’m losing my ass in Elma but I’m glad there was a protest march here and, in the end, I would rather lose some money than continue down the path of Fascism. So there.

Ignore the bot accounts so much propaganda is being spread. Watch for the signs: no photos, no friends, account created last week. They’re everywhere, and we’re clearing out thousands every day.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

I’ve got a couple shows coming up the next 2 weekends: 1 close to home and one further south! Hope you can make it to one of them! #phinneywoodartsshow #commencementcatclub

Continuing to support her in any way (including cosplay), is aligning yourself with a hateful fascist. Period!

And now I know which show is more of a meat grinder than ECCC…

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

Happy World Goth Day - throwback Thursday edition! I once created a Grim Reaper Belly Dance Outfit so I could perform to Appollo 440’s version of Don’t Fear the Reaper in the Norwescon Masquerade. 💀🦇🖤💜🖤🦇💀 @norwescon #worldgothday #throwbackthursday #dontfearthereaper

Welp, afterthe $578 booth fee + $83 in parking (there’s a lot going on so every place was charging “Event Parking” rates), I made a whole $68 at Pop Cats this weekend. 😖

For over half a century, the National Weather Service has operated 24/7. But after the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency pushed to shrink the federal workforce, that’s no longer possible in parts of the country.

Welp today was not my best day ever or as restful as I was hoping. I had an appointment to get a tooth filled this morning but they realized my entire tooth split down to the root and had to stop. Long story short - I have 1 less tooth now.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

EMERGENCY ACTION Join us we’re actively working to get coalition members on the ground! Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI this morning after refusing to allow ICE agents into her courtroom. She was taken to the federal courthouse.

Re-watching Andor (season 2 comes out tomorrow) and wow is it closer to home than ever! 😖😑🤦🏼‍♀️ #andor #fascismexists4real

I relax by playing and experimenting on bookmark size paper. These are 2 with 4 different space cats (see alt text 4 mor info) #danielsmith #schmincke #spacecats

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

I can’t get up right now - it’s the LAW! 💜😹💜😸💜😹💜

If the Facists take over postal service we can’t trust our mail in ballots to be counted and it will be another way to squeeze small businesses: sign.moveon.org/petitions/te...
