Happy #Bisibility Day to those who celebrate. 💙💜❤️

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

Obligatory reminder: if you wake up in a room with a bat, you need to get rabies shots, because their bites aren’t always detectable! Carry on!

Do people not remember the exact same motherfuckers saying the exact same things about NFTs?

I would like for family functions to not be an overstimulated nightmare for one (1) time in my goddamned life, thank yeeewww ✨

Hey, the common loon called. Yeah, it was hauntingly beautiful

NWS now says a tsunami has formed and is forecasting tsunami heights for West Coast: most locations ~1ft or less, though Crescent City, CA, could see 5.7ft tsunami wave: tsunami.gov/events/PAAQ/...

Labrador can suck a lemon.

Letter: Defunding public broadcasting weakens our national conversation and leaves us more vulnerable to propaganda

Left voicemails for Risch and Crapo this evening and my phone is trying to beat out of my chest. It’s after business hours in DC and I would definitely leave a message and not talk to a live person, but the phone anxiety doesn’t know that!!

The coroner had no staff, no vehicle, a tiny autopsy budget and no actual office. "If you don't care enough about how death investigations are done in your jurisdiction to invest in the people doing it ... you're going to get what you get," said a national expert. www.propublica.org/article/idah...

Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher voted against debating to release the Epstein files. Cowards don’t deserve a seat in Congress.

You know that you can still escape, right? Just head home and enjoy firing up the grill. Let Mike Johnson deal with the fallout. Not your problem.

you've got to be fucking kidding me (positive)

“We are causing so much havoc,” says Amanda Cook, the forensic nurse examiner director at the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Center in Idaho Falls. "Now they can’t get medical help... (The legislators) have totally screwed it up.” #idleg #idpol blog.idahoreports.idahoptv.org/2025/06/18/i...

If you're wondering what businesses are at the hetero-awesome straight pride event in Boise, here's what we've seen so far (pics from one of our signal groups, not mine)

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Democracy dies where now?

Out of pocket cost of common adult vaccines in U.S. - Flu - $20 to $120 - Shingrix - $400 - TDAP - $25- $100 - Prevnar20 -$312 - HepB series - $120-$330 - COVID vaccine -$200 As per goodRx

To remove vaccines from ACIP guidelines, which seems to be the end goal here, is effectively a ban. If a vaccine is not recommended, Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance can refuse to cover it. Few people can afford to pay for the cost out of pocket. RFK Jr's end game is to ban vaccines!!!

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

cool! let’s make it worse ❤️

Latinx Pride in Boise yesterday was pretty funny, to me, for a very specific reason: the right thought it was canceled. This isn't meant to speak over anyone else's experience, organizers or attendees. It's a heartwarming look at bad media literacy and intentional misrepresentation by bad actors.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

it’s a public health liability for the whole international community that so much biomedical research is US-based, episode 7393

Hey maybe just this once we could get like... temperate girl summer?

"Project 2025 calls to end telemedicine prescriptions of abortion pills as an “interim step” to revoking mifepristone’s approval altogether. "More than 100 scientific studies have found the medications cited in the paper are safe and effective for ending a pregnancy." Via @susanrinkunas.com

Vanity Fair going the opposite way of the NYT when it comes to headlines

I’ll also add that we had chronic illness before modern medicine — there are a lot of conditions where you can be sick for years or decades and not die — people were just in horrible pain or discomfort or fatigue with no possibility of relief

I would argue that Tatooine is more like Space Nevada than Space Idaho but this is an otherwise correct take

Always keep an eye on the stickers on trail! Sometimes there's fashy trash to tear down, but more often you'll find stuff like this to brighten your day. #boise #running #idpol

will someone please tell the manosphere that you can get the most beautiful girl in the world to fall madly in love with you by being short and slender, and by dancing gracefully and skillfully in a gender-ambiguous performance

For all those out there also listening as people #trumpREGRET their vote. We need these folks on our side if we are going to save us. The appropriate response is: "I'm so sorry that happened to you. For the constitution, conscience & all our families, together we have a problem we have to solve."

Salt Lake City, too. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

It's not just Boise. #idleg www.krem.com/article/news...

“I asked ChatGPT,” well I asked your mom and she said you’ve always been a disappointment

"the agency is taking support away from local and regional food systems while at the same time showering industrial agricultural operations with billions of dollars, eliminating nutrition safety nets, and rolling back environmental protections."

So, your rage belongs not necessarily with the recruited, but w/the purveyors of lies about science. I want to rage at the bottom rung too, when I see stories about kids dying of diseases that have no business being spread - but the true responsibility lies w/people like RFK, who lie for sport.

"The programs are pitched as enabling 'school choice,' but in reality, research has found the money tends to benefit families that have already chosen private schools" by @audreydutton.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/idah...

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

This actually happened: A few weeks after passing a $50 million school-voucher bill for Idaho's private-school families, Idaho lawmakers slashed $30 million in support for public-school families. Remember: 94% of Idaho students attend public schools. www.propublica.org/article/idah...

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

If you ever find me in the bowels of a heavily guarded laboratory, peacefully suspended in a large tube of bubbling liquid, please mind your own business.

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

Made it! There’s still room, Treasure Valley folks. Get over here!!

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

A lot of people would rather see others harmed than be helped, but I personally wouldn’t build a political movement around it.
