twitter is currently a frankenstein combination of 4chan and tumblr. we all know this. but bluesky is a different beast that i don't think people born after ~2004 fully grasp. bluesky is a frankenstein combination of tumblr and somethingawful

I hate it when autocorrect is like "I'm assuming you didn't mean "for reaaaaallllll" and I'm gonna change it to "for real" please do not deign (NOT DESIGN YOU JERK!! DEIGN IS A WORD. JESUS) to tell me how many letters I wanted to drag this out for. if I put 17 A's I fuckin meant 17 A's, man

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

DONE. my brother was too little to remember when he was at Seattle Children's, but i was a toddler, and it was SO BORING. anything we can do to break the monotony and help kids stuck there celebrate the season is worth it (try to send just happy holiday wishes, not get well wishes! make it fun!!)

i know this exact feeling but also it sounds so chill comparatively rn bc emotionally *i'm* at someone else's house and have good reason to suspect they've got a kidnapping victim trapped in their basement

this is officially my most popular comment in months and idk how to feel about it besides [ hysteria tinged laughter ]

If anyone can give farmers access to international markets its the guy who closed off access to international markets

"there is no recession in the usa" sounds a lot like "there is no war in ba sing se" doesn't it.......

I cannot think of a stupider way to tell us all that they love this shutdown and have no plans to end it

hey baby, you make me want to turn off replies and quote posts on everything I write here

Honestly in some ways this is the epitome of this administration. This is a government of podcasters and TV presenters led by a reality TV star who doesn't actually want to govern, he just wants to create *content*

my favorite fall salad: - baby spinach - roasted butternut squash - roasted beets - chicken breast - poppyseed dressing - goat cheese crumbles - omega 3 trail mix (dried cranberries, walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, pumpkin seeds) 11/10 bc i also got to punch my feelings out on the chicken

Sundogs today with a rare but cool circumzenithal arc (that's the inverted rainbow above the sun). I've upped the saturation and contrast to make them visible in the picture. Very cool in real life.

I got the go ahead from agent to say I'm working on hello sunshine sequel (not contracted yet) haha YAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME I hate keeping my projects secret and I'm very very bad at it!! (if it gets made depends entirely on how well hello sunshine does haha. stressss) it'll be very different ❤️‍🔥

Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

again for mike johnson specifically: russ vought has absolutely no authority to cancel projects or conduct mass layoffs bc of a shutdown. he and trump are effectively extorting congress, who is supposed to have power of the purse over the executive branch. checks and balances are to prevent tyranny.

reminder that neither russ vought NOR trump have the authority to slash agencies or cancel projects during a shutdown... or at any other time! this is extortion. trump is holding the country hostage. this will hurt, but dems cannot keep cowing to threats or we really have given up on democracy.

Never thought a whole bunch of white Brits would move me to tears...but here we are. In the end it comes down to a very simple good vs evil...nothing else matters

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

throwing a party nobody shows up for pretty much always sucks, it turns out 🫠

+1 science stabs, get yer science stabs!!! they only asked me the usual safety questions (allergies, recent illness) and they've got plenty! protect yourself and those around you with ✨science~✨

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern? Some states are threatening to end SNAP. Why? Trump is setting state governments up for failure, cutting resources, adding administrative burdens while imposing massive financial penalties for errors. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-big-be...

OKAY FOLKS FOR EVERYONE WHO ASKED FOR IT* MY THREAD OF LATIN-AMERICAN HORROR IN TRANSLATION FOR THE PERFECT BOOK FOR THE OVERLAP OF HISPANIC HISTORY & SPOOKY MONTHS *nobody asked but I KNOW WHAT YOU SECRETLY WANT 1/

Hey, do I have any New York City (or nearby) friends who want to foster this adorable 9 month old puppy? He’s great with other dogs and he looks like the RCA dog. If so, @ me and I’ll DM you! His name is Odie and he’s with the rescue I volunteer for. (You can also just adopt him!)

commission laceyyyyyyy she really captures their personalities and also doesn't mind if you send a dozen blep reference photos!

you'd think that the amount of time i spend worrying about if i'm the problem/how to be the kindest most helpful person i can so that my continued existence is merited would prevent me from spiraling when people declare an umbrella i fit under to be irredeemably evil... but you'd be wrong! 🤪

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

(solemnly) You've had mail.

1. the government is not a private company and the goal should not be running as cheaply as possible or maximizing "profit" 2. psssst there is an entire subset of obscenely rich people and megacorps getting exorbitant tax cuts, that removing would bring in way more money than layoffs could save...

clearly i'm just crying a lot today (over various adjacent things) but this got me too.

i'm having a very strange 'inside you there are two wolves' kind of day where i wish more than anything i could hug my grandfather, but also i'm glad he's not alive to witness this. both wolves are really upset and one has a headache from crying, but they're still different wolves. 🫠

I’m fighting for Eric Adams’ voters. Andrew Cuomo is fighting for his donors.

Feds complaining there is too much crime on the New York City subways have *zeroed* out federal grants for crime-fighting on the New York City subways — and on Metro-North and the LIRR. Scoop by @davecolon.bsky.social and @dmey.bsky.social -- nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/30/t...

17 people are dead from US strikes in the Caribbean this month and we still don't really know who they are and so far the president and VP have made jokes about scared fishermen.

bump bump it's the last day for 3x donation matches on MSF's humanitarian aid and preventative care programs!!! they're picking up the usaid slack, if you can toss even $5 at them it'll go 3x farther today! if not (i certainly can't give more than i do, i get it) maybe just a lil repost?

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
