There's a superb anthology here that's very close to funding. www.kickstarter.com/projects/191...

I have blocked The government accounts Which you were probably going to dunk on They were trolling So plain And so obvious

Only someone with extensive litigation experience like myself can read through the lines here, discover the truth, and identify the witness.

it is my pleasure to report they are indeed mad as fuck on the other site over being blocked and ignored. keep up the excellent work everyone

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts bsky.app/profile/did:...

"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done."

I finally got to visit Harper's ferry this summer. It's not-as-parky as you would think. It was unfathomably hot and I was exhausted, but I was able to waddle on over to get a shot of the sun sets above the marker where John Brown and his followers barricaded themselves during their raid. 🗺

Welcome to Bluesky, newcomers! Need some animals and nature on your timeline? Here’s a thread with some suggestions. 🧵

Today is #nationalhagfishday I hope you have a good day and if not I hope you escape the day via copious amounts of slime www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day...

PSA: Don’t move the “in case of emergency pull rope” pulls so they aren’t dangling free, and near the floor. One of their primary functions is to call help if someone has fallen to the floor. Putting them where someone needs to get up to pull them defeats the purpose.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Wow, what a place of honor! Highly esteemed deeds must be commemorated here! And there are probably valuables...

Important new twitch fuckery!

‘96% of healthcare professionals said the model helps to reduce children’s anxiety, and 46% reported a lesser need to use sedation after the children played with the set.‘ ‘Lego doesn’t sell the sets and instead has donated more than 10,000 of the kits to hospitals around the world.’

Spooky bird stories. Last year's Halloween comic.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job. Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees. Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

It’s #PortfolioDay! I started drawing a year ago and I’m having so much fun exploring styles and projects! I am a disabled, autistic, queer actor, writer, singer and now… draw-er!

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

I'm always unsure where my furry fandom folks are physically located but if you're in Reno this week for Biggest Little Fur Con you can stop by @kikidoodle.bsky.social's booth to meet someone who has been bitten by my goats. Pick up some art while you're there!

I’ve had this question many times. The QA/QC for them are just as dogshit too but you have an extra complicating matter: cat eyes don’t work the same as ours. I repeat, No Laser Is A Toy.

Cats, as crepuscular beasts, do not have the same wavelength sensitivity we do. Which means 532nm is not as glaringly bright to them as they just don’t have the same green receptors as us, but that doesn’t mean it’s not damage. Also, different shaped pupils that go WIDE OPEN to play, which is bad.

Yes! I worked with several shepherding families during my PhD that used their sheep to help support solar farming, it was such a fun win-win situation. Sheep are excellent at targeted grazing like this, and I would love to see this take off in more areas. Less lawnmowers, more lambs!

Even now a crack team of Scottish culinary scientists are racing against time to discover a way to deep fry it.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

I completely forgot that last year I did horror icons meets Pokemon pieces and I’m kinda feeling the urge to do it again… suggestions welcome! #art #pokemon

Is there a "blues for goths" type guide anywhere on the internet? I feel like that would improve a whole lot of things. It would improve me. Links appreciated <3

This is true and they are super endangered by poachers who shovel them up by the hundreds and sell them at flea markets and shit. You should not buy the plants and if you happen to kick the poacher in the shins on accident, no one will hear about it from me.

This is the only acceptable use of the Union Flag.

new thing to have to worry about: actual employees you called at a company’s actual number transferring you to a scammer because they trusted search engine AI instead of looking things up through internal resources

Well, the Techbroligarchs running the country DO fit the old John Rogers quote! "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes,..

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites and that congress has not authorized the use of military force.

If you’re in the northern part of the us or in Canada you might be able to see the aurora tonight. It seems to be very active

@drawfeeshow.com i just really felt like y’all needed to see this

Not just the subsidies are at stake. Language that would ban healthcare facilities that receive federal funds from providing transition care must be expunged. Call your Dem senators and reps and tell them to protect trans people.
