I was worried my poppies wouldn't make it another year, but now they're thriving. I get a mental health boost every time I look at them.

Goin' live working on my sci-fi/fantasy park in Planet Coaster 2. Stop by for some birthday vibes and Meemaw rambling! twitch.tv/blinkiesnogood

Not a lot of people share my birthday but there's one I think about every year. Happy birthday, Breonna Taylor. You should have lived to celebrate it with your family and friends.

Sherpa guides and porters on Everest deserve WAY more respect and pay than they will ever get. Without Sherpas, nobody summits, period. Even the hardest-core climber needs the porters for their gear, the base camps, the ropes, the logistics, the knowledge of the mountain. No Sherpas? No summit.

chat is this good

There's a needlepoint humble bundle on right now! A nice selection of books. www.humblebundle.com/books/embroi...

LOS ANGELES AREA FRIENDOS: ICE abducted someone near MacArthur Park within the last hour. Stay alert, and keep your neighbors safe! They are ramping up their brutality for the summer. Info: www.stopice.net/login/?alert...

That's my rep and you bet your ass I vote for her every time she hits the ballot.

Was talking about Hannah Montana to my kid and she was puzzled. Then she admitted she had Hannah Montana mixed up with Marie Curie .... who she had mixed up with "the lady who did the Christmas song." Me: "MARIAH CAREY???" Her: "Yeah, her I guess."

LOS ANGELES AREA FRIENDOS: So far today ICE has been spotted in El Segundo (meaning, near LAX) and Inglewood. Stay alert, and keep your neighbors safe!

LOS ANGELES/SGV AREA FRIENDOS! A cop car has been parked outside the Westin on Los Robles in Pasadena long enough that some folks are beginning to suspect someone's eating up sweet overtime protecting ICE agents sleeping there. Keep an eye out in that area, and make some noise if it's confirmed.

rent is due and i'm still a bit short! I have a few commission slots open! I enjoy drawing original/game/ttrpg characters, pets, wedding/party invitations, twitch/streaming screens, and more! Character comms: Bust: 40 Half: 80 Full: 120 Pets: 35 each See below for more examples. msg if interested

Don't worry @kianamai.bsky.social , I'm sure Steve Bluesclues is taking good care of Aika and Zira on my Tomodachi Island!

The wildlife in my area is having a real friggin' morning right now. Neighborhood Yowling Orange Cat came to me for petting and food. Squirrels are having skirmishes on the fence. Crows are talking MAD shit from the telephone poles. What even is going on?

LOS ANGELES AREA FRIENDOS and other California folk: I won't tell you how to vote. I'm just telling you TO vote, if you're eligible. This state makes it easy compared to other states and despite what racists claim, that's a GOOD thing.

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

idk I think maybe if anyone should be banned from having nukes maybe it should be the only country that's deployed multiple nuclear bombs against civilian populations of another country

With apologies to Saul Bass

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." In fact, he said it several times in speeches. I know, "white woman quoting MLK, get ready for some cringe" but listen. Long rambly thread ahoy. 🧵

URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED for DELANEY HALL and MOSSHANNON Thread 1/x 🧵 Passing on info from friends related to the concentration camps in PA and NJ. Many action steps below for people all over the US (and beyond, I think). Please read and share.

Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember: You are valid You are loved You are enough

I used to be able to name a couple but now I have a cold rage toward all of them. Every. Single. One. You know why? "You're wasting your potential." I got my diagnosis in my forties because not a single teacher had a molecule of empathy for the weird kid who aced tests and failed classes.

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

I spent way too long making this title screen, but how could I put SecUnit on my island without giving it media? Nintendo x @marthawells.com collab any day now, I'm sure!

Slowly adding to the population of my Tomodachi Life island. In case anyone had any doubts about what a fucking nerd I am.

listen sometimes HRT hits one side more than the other

bsky too quiet? missing comments? not seeing posts from spicy artists? check your moderation settings and your bsky filters if you haven't configured these before, many of these will be set to hide as defaults

Bluesky management now has the ability to label entire accounts as "adult content", effectively shadow banning them. Gee, I wonder what type of accounts the openly transphobic staff will apply this to ...

Mirabel was exactly what her family needed. Because if it was me? I would've been long gone before the movie even started.

Daily Memo: ICE Is Detaining People Who Show The “Know Your Rights” Red Cards It appears that ICE sees "Know Your Rights" cards and makes the immediate assumption that people trying to use the cards are undocumented. They have essentially become little red targets. lataco.com/know-your-ri...

MORTIFYING ORDEAL: Tween being driven to school forced to listen to geriatric mother sing along with the entirety of Baby Got Back. Investigators on scene found no traces of rhythm, flow, or melanin. They warn the mother is still at large, possibly armed with a lecture on the feminism of the lyrics

It's day two of our "unfortunately we still need to pay bills, oh no" sale on the etsy shop, where you can peruse the finest in dorky items for the ADHD geek in your life! thebrokencircle.etsy...

There is a lot of exciting stuff going on on this Planet Zoo 2 screenshot but even pre-coffee and pre-meds my eyeballs zeroed straight in on MY FAVORITE PERFECT CINNAMON ROLL OF THE SEA

Omg that is a sunfish! I'd buy the whole game just to make some sunfish happy!

Look at how the tiny tiles are laid out. This took time and artistry! And yet all I can think is, "PNG transparency floor"

As someone in a similar position thanks to my wife, exactly this. The right could pressure her employer into doing a "DEI purge" (despite her decades of specialized professional experience). Grants could dry up. Coworkers could get ICEd. Obergefell will get overturned and we lose our marital status

What's going on in Tomodachi Life? Oh, just Karlach Baldursgate name-dropping @chucktingle.bsky.social to my cat.

Need some background noise for your Sunday? I'm goin' live building a Planet Coaster 2 park that's half fantasy and half sci-fi. Stop by for chill vibes and sleepy cats! twitch.tv/blinkiesnogood

more white people, especially journalists, should ask themselves why bathing in the stew of racism and misogyny and queerphobia of X is seen as "interesting" to them but coming to a place with actual diversity where a PoC or woman or queer person calls you personally an asshole feels alien

normal people are not on social media to get into days long arguments with Neo-Nazis and it's actually weird as fuck for you to think that. i'm here to talk to my friends and post my cat

A huge amount of baby/kid stuff is plastic crap you'll be throwing out in a few months if you don't have any friends/relatives to hand em down to. Thrift stores won't take a lot of it for safety reasons. So I'd like to shout out the Stokke Tripp Trapp: www.stokke.com/USA/en-us/hi...

Los Angeles Area friendos, specifically in the Garden Grove area! The Tank is heating up. This is Not Good. If you have delayed evacuating, or are just outside the evac zone, JUST GTFO. Some shelters are at capacity so check Watchduty for the nearest open one: app.watchduty.org/i/99643

Uh ... chat, is this good? "Resources are actively working to mitigate a hazardous material incident that poses a potential risk of a thermal runaway and an explosion. " (Heads up if you're in/near Garden Grove!) share.watchduty.org/i/99643

When you're overweight, doctors treat you as if weight loss must be your #1 goal, and if you drop to an "acceptable" weight all your health problems will vanish. So of course they're pushing the One Weird Drug to solve all your problems! (Mine offered me metformin. Not diabetic, A1C is fine)

Living my life in fear of 30-50 feral 747s in my yard

Good morning

Los Angeles area friendos! ICE is lurking outside the women's prison in Lynwood. If you've got time, stop by and find out what the fuck they're doing! Stay alert, and keep your neighbors safe.
