Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Many disabled kids would benefit so much if parenting classes that focus on disability inclusion and the harms of ableism were widely available (so, free) to their parents.

DOGE did not fail in any way to accomplish its goals. Its goals were never efficiency or saving money. Its goals were to destroy as much of government as possible forever, and to steal data for the Space Nazi. DOGE is fading away like bank robbery gangs fade away after the robberies are done.

Nooo! He was so good!

They say the best opportunity comes once in a lifetime, and for some things that's true. But more often success leaves a trail of failures in its wake. Do not resign yourself to defeat because you missed a chance. Go out and make more of them.

It’s cute how some people think SNAP is all steak and lobster. I’ve worked grocery — the reality is people scraping together 15 cans of cheap beefaroni and hoping it lasts till payday.

Good morning

Daily sketch 🪾🌕🥷🐈‍⬛️ Can you spot the cat ? #art #artsky #sketch #ink #painting

This is the most backhanded flirt I've ever seen. 🤣

The history of gynecology is written in the blood of Black women. Anarcha Westcott, Lucy, and Betsy birthed this field of study in pain and blood. They had to- they weren't given a choice. Never forget these women and what they were put through by J. Marion Sims.

"Unfortunately, due to a terrible miscalculation of scale, the entire 28-point peace plan was eaten by a small dog."

They actually didn’t. The fact that you don’t know that is just more proof that you are seriously unqualified to lead a boy scout troop. #StayInSchool

Without downloading any new pics, what is it like dating you?

ICE reminds us why nazism flourished in Germany. Paychecks and Empowerment. The less scrupulous get to ride around in suvs, carry guns and make more money than they can possibly make doing anything else.

Trump meeting Mamdani changes nothing. Trump is a narcissist with no conviction, no center, just the need to be praised. He moves toward anyone who feeds his ego. Proximity guides him, not principle. The emptiness is the whole story.

You see, the thing about them thar bisexuals is. . . <pause for dramatic effect> . . . their identity is 100% valid, and if I catch any of y'all belittling or erasing them, I'll feed you to the nearest Resurrection Beast and discard any remnants in the River. 🥰

Heads up if you're a minor I just want to implore you guys to not talk to people on social media unless you're sure you're talking with peers around the same age, don't confide in adults even if you look up to them, just practice general safety, and don't let people know you're a minor

he never looks at JD that way

the new Gorillaz album is rooted in coming to terms with the reality of death in our lives, and one way they're doing that is incorporating verses from friends who've passed away. Feels like posthumous art that's a celebration instead of basically repellent nostalgia: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JIv...

Of course she did

What gets me about RFK Jr's sexting isn't the kink or the sex. It's that goddamn purple prose! You can tell his brain worm read Anne Rice's erotica.

😬Did... did he really wear the Biff Tannen? There should be someone on his staff whose only job is to stop him from ever wearing a maroon turtleneck or scarf. C'mon, this is 101 stuff.

This town was awful enough to live in without ICE kidnapping children from school. I hope to all the gods that that child is rescued ASAP, because nobody deserves to go through this. katu.com/news/local/i...

WATCH — @thejaampod.bsky.social : “ICE drove past and sprayed mace into the car, into a one year old baby’s face… A BABY just got pepper sprayed. They should be arrested and prosecuted.”

“Pre-Omicron, infection meant you had 80% protection against re-infection one year later. Post-Omicron, this has fallen to 5% protection at one year, highlighting that vaccination is more important than ever for people with vulnerable immune systems.” NB: this is immunity against REINFECTION

I can tell which of y'all don't talk to any of the Black man that refused to vote for Harris.🤷🏿‍♂️ Mamdani went to the oval office and did two things: * He called Trump a fascist in front of the entire world * He called Gaza a genocide Dearborn and Detroit. That's what they wanted to hear.

To recap: Trump said Zohran isn’t a jihadist and is going to do a good job, even as Zohran still maintained Trump is a fascist.

I feel this 😂😂

One of the most exciting sunsets I've captured. A thunderstorm came rolling in just as the clouds started to change color. Smith Rock State Park in Oregon. #lightning #sunset #photography #landscape #art #bluesky #oregon #canon

Edinburgh wears snow the way old cities wear stories, lightly but with meaning.

Hey. Kindly reminder. Content creators are not your friends just because you like their work. You do not know who we are. This goes double for anyone under 18; be very careful about interacting with adults. If any adult makes you feel uncomfortable, DO NOT ENGAGE THEM. RUN.

I have never felt so seen I will scream an ear off about the tyranny of bloodless, joyless, rote hyperrealism for HOURS

A "kind of broken pain scale" happens when a person has to tolerate moderate to severe pain on the daily. We wind up not noticing injuries like burns and hairline fractures in the small bones. Lol... lower tolerance, my ass.

I hate that in local news, sometimes the most common type of disability story will be the very, VERY rare cases of disability fraud. Disabled people live interesting lives and are impacted by so many things, yet the focus is on these rare events.

Elephants think humans are adorable.

The whole "you can break LLM 'safeguard' trainings by using poetic reformulations, even those produced through another LLM remix" just kind of further confirms that these are superficial pattern matchers, and that this is all they are. No intelligence at home.

I'm sorry, Europe. But this is what you're gonna have to do, because my country can't be trusted.

More like SpaceEcchhh, amirite

Literally why I don't have body piercings. Lol... my body is so busted, I've had 4 MRIs in the past 6 months.

This makes me actually nauseated.

The debate on the House floor right now is so very, very stupid. A bunch of people who's salaries are paid by tax payers, doing a job that would be impossible to outsource to the private sector are condemning the evils of socialism. Either they are stupid, or that they think you are.
