we have to go back. to warn them.

i am officially this verizon guy's favorite stop, possibly of all time. (he is having trouble fixing it, but i offered a cupcake and coffee while we were waiting for the first reset so i'm sure he'll figure it out for me.)

me eyeing black friday sales in hopes of reasonably priced... socks and underwear.............. maybe someday i'll be able to afford frivolity again...

they knew, because it's not "just" treating diseases; they left how much RUTF abandoned in shipping containers? most children in these communities succumb to disease because they're too weak from malnourishment to fight it; not simply lack of medicine. every MANA case is a child elon musk murdered.

no good deed goes unpunished yet again...

I have lots of great books for your holiday giving needs! REVERSAL for teens (esp queer ones), BAD KARMA for dads/action fans, MADI for sci fi fans, PARASOCIAL for the person slyly reading fanfic on their phone during Thanksgiving bookshop.org/shop/alexdec... & more!!!

i made too much and somehow have no takers this year?? 😭

Just a little reminder to enjoy the #art process. Something that colored pencils have taught me is the importance of taking the time that things need to be properly done, enjoying the slowness instead of feeling frustrated by it. #animalart #pencil #coloredpencil #sciart #birds

decided it was worth unmuting for this at 2:40am and if it wakes my mother it's technically still my birthday for another hour-ish...

DEPLOY THE BOY

weaponize me

fantastic photos and article by the great photojournalist @speciousk.bsky.social , who's just arrived on Bluesky! make with the following, friends! gothamist.com/news/the-hot...

Before we start hyping this Yule launch, it behooves us to inform you about the free gifties we’re chucking into every order placed this Friday thru the following Monday. Four pie-themed 1/32oz perfume oil samples which are impossible to obtain any other way! Gift ‘em or keep ‘em, we won’t tell.

dogs did not stay chill, migraine has not let up, BUT the sanitation supervisor personally calling to apologize and say he's added my house to the "they participate, do not miss" list re: composting in a low compliance area is genuinely an amazing present. i have put in so many 311 complaints!!

Bluesky not addictive to teens but definitely a crutch for elder millennials who know too much about the Bajoran war.

Landmark move: New York City's comptroller @bradlander.bsky.social, with hundreds of billions under his control, recommends dropping investment giant Blackrock because they won't reckon with climate change. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hope today feels kind to you. 😽🤍

happy birthday to me, i was able to stand up without immediately collapsing in agony and the dogs have been chill and cuddly thus far. if the migraine lets up i may even be able to get stuff to make cupcakes.

My mom told her physical therapist she wears a mask because her husband and daughter are immunocompromised. The PT said she is too but isn't worried bc she knows if she dies she is going to heaven. Then her co-worker yelled, “Shut up Debbie you wear a seatbelt and take blood pressure meds” 👀

If you’re wondering who’s guiding our transition, it’s the best New Yorkers that money can’t buy.

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

this is mesmerizing

are we going to have to fully go back to the dark ages of infant graveyards and everyone pumping out a dozen kids in hopes maybe a couple will live to adulthood just to realize how much of a miracle vaccination is?!

The gift that keeps on giving. gizmodo.com/ram-prices-g... If you are using AI in *any* capacity, even fun little ones you think don't matter, just stop, don't actively (I say actively cause it's being forced on us all...) engage at *all* on any front. Choke the beast.

i spent hours yesterday trying to find reference images and couldn't get any engines to to filter out AI generated results, so am now researching how to FILTER OUT AI bc i needed NATURE REFERENCES and AI generated results defeated the purpose. the answer seems to be "you can't." we fucked up guys 🫠

why is it i only ever have the most urgent needs for chocolate when there is no chocolate anything left in the house? extremely rude, self.

Meet Silly Goose. She’s just a baby with megaesophagus and needs lifelong care. Thanks to our email community, her care is fully funded! Today, she's too tiny for a Bailey Chair, so her foster made her an upright basket seat to help her eat safely. Pupdates to come ❤️‍🩹

👀 Alex Vitale is a sociologist who wrote a very good book called The End of Policing.

one of my uncles is banned from thanksgiving after he brought a giant spread of artisanal cheese, engaged in a planned confrontation with my cousins who were hosting and called them assholes, and then left and TOOK THE CHEESE AWAY the Murray's Confrontation has never been forgiven

dead like me was really special to me and i just found that it's up for free on tubi, but lemme tell ya... it's hitting a bit differently after 15 years of Life Being Unfair.

NY AG Tish James: “I remain fearless in the face of these baseless charges as I continue fighting for New Yorkers every single day.”

pepper has been granted a stay on account of i did something Bad to my spine and can't handle a drive that long right now, plus the roof start got bumped for weather... can my pain save a tiny scared pirate? 🤞🐾

those counters completely covered in unclaimed pickup orders is UNREAL to me are you kidding that's considered normal now?! what are we doing, people??? what have we done... i want to go back to a previous save file. like 2006? lemme replay from there please... please...

da morning announcement 📢

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

THIS It saves a tremendous amount of overhead (money) and time (money) and complications (people who are eligible dropping out because they can't prove they are), but mostly it forecloses an extremely common form of fiscal parental abuse.

awakened at 3am by a nondescript ominous rumbling outside 😬

The leaves are changing and so is City Hall.

i guess not enough are buying those 140% price turkeys, so if you qualify for a free one you didn't claim some markets are tossing them in with delivery orders anyway?! this just happened to a neighbor who didn't need it and couldn't fit it in her fridge regardless so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.

Aye

we still haven't moved past the double meaning problem here---the people who want Zohran to be "tougher on antisemitism" really mean "silent on Israeli genocide."

#dogsofbluesky i desperately need help to save pepper. i've limited interactions for hopefully obvious reasons, but my DMs are open. if you message to condemn what is already a heartbreaking situation, you will be blocked. tl;dr pepper needs a new foster, or it's goodbye. in nyc but will transport.

what career path? after flunking out of school 4x, $35k in student loan debt, multiple suicide attempts from the abuse in customer facing positions, and my body giving out after ~15yrs of long physically demanding days in care work, i've been jobhunting all 2025 and not gotten a single interview. 🫠

being able to afford healthcare and food and utilities yes all of that but nobody told me i could add wishbone to the list of demands +1000 bring back wishbone plz

'sup morning people! you absolutely don't wanna know. i know you're gonna look anyway, but for the record: we warned you.

Ah, I'm awake again. Time to open the psychological harm app

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

On @allinwithchris.bsky.social Gov Kathy Hochul responds to Rep Elise Stefanik’s repeated assertions that Zohran Mamdani is a “jihadist”: “She’s full of shit.”

idk who else needs this psa but the misen nonstick carbon steel pans WILL get hot enough to melt even high heat resistant silicone spatulas. i had previously been using metal as advised, but it was in the sink already just now and... oops. (in my defense there's no explicit DO NOT USE re: silicone)
