The bumpy snailfish, discovered 10,000 feet down off the coast of California, shows that not all denizens of the abyss are frightening. (I watched the video more than 10 times.) My latest for @nytimes.com (gift link!) #marinelife www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/s...
That's what I came to ask 😅
😐 Reskeeting to doomread later
What exactly do you think your sarcasm is accomplishing? Do you think this is some sort of defense for how feckless & irresponsible the *cough*GENOCIDAL*cough* biden administration was? And what makes you think you have a right to call them "los Doyers"? That's our term, not yours.
And tell me I'm your oooooowwwn!
Truly, the dumbest, worst timeline because ???
If you are praying that Dems take back the house next year you should also feel preemptive horror that the man tasked with implementing that victory is Hakeem Jeffries
I have this official one and it rules, highly recommend!! uubgear.com/collections/...
Gotta blow up millions of dollars of ordinance so that they don't have their budget slashed!
nope my bad it was actually WaPo www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020...
Disabled people are not getting a free ride. They’re not stealing your tax dollars. The process to get approved is dehumanizing & painful. It’s designed to make you quit. You sacrifice your autonomy, dignity and independence for a benefit that forces you to live in legislated poverty.
Heaven is getting a book??? [Insert teakettle noises here] 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
Friendly reminder that "Even a broken clock is right twice a day."
This is a deeply reported, heart-pounding read Gift link ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...
The murder of civilians by US forces should not be classified.
You know what really strikes me about this story? That it happened in Trump's first term, and nobody involved got court-martialed during Biden's term. There is a reason these fascists feel so brazenly emboldened right now, and this is why. They expect no consequences for their violence.
So one thing no one seems to be writing about is that fact that many people currently in law enforcement as a sworn officer thinks the masks are fine. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...
Dunno who fennell is but I automatically hate her for whitewashing Heathcliff in 2025. Saw the trailer, laughed at how incongruous it is with the source material, & enjoyed a good five minutes of angry youtube comments. Someone called it the 4th installment of 50 Shades of Grey lol.
Hawaii announced they are joining California, Oregon, and Washington’s West Coast Health Alliance which will provide their own science-based vaccine guidelines and make vaccines accessible to everyone.

Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026 This is a fantastic way to educate children It’s a form of resistance. Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more. These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.
Yay, an audiobook version! libro.fm/audiobooks/9...
Hardcat 😂 We had a tortoise randomly wander into the backyard and live with us for a summer. We called it our stray rock.
*cough*RocketCity*cough
Maybe if we boo hard enough it'll have a reverse Tinkerbelle response?
Now, now. The US has seven body farms. Let him rot in a shallow grave and be useful for once in his miserable existence.
I think you might have to arm-wrestle @merriam-webster.com over this cuz... www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/s...
You can also run a tub clean cycle with either bleach or vinegar every so many loads/weeks.
Ugh, didn't even think of that possibility. I figured the car wreck was the result of driving while getting a blow/hand job and that these days he has to pay for sex.
That was my first thought when I saw the statement
I can hear this skeet 😂
take a look at what these clearings accomplish. they take dentures from people who cannot replace them. they took a woman’s husband’s cremains and urn. identity documents and family history. if you support any of this, no matter how central “NO MAGA” is to your sense of self, you are a monster.
This is why I hate that guy
I'll bet if you shave him, he looks 12.
Thanks! 😊
I made this pattern ages ago and only just got around to actually beading it. Colourway inspired by the blue land crab of the Caribbean. Specimen image from the USGS.
the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10% $1200 can be life or death at that level of income top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"
One of the ways I keep my sanity as an aid worker is by corralling exposure to traumatic info: - limit times: set a regular check in on topics you care about, weekly cycles seem balanced - limit sources: talking to experts is ideal, but this also could include curating journalists, etc
For folks not in DC: - There are full-on police checkpoints most nights - Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC - National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter - Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl - Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE
For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.
Thank you New York City for making the #ZcavengerHunt a reality 🙏
Someone linked this article, which has recipes for cucumber vodka, sorbet, and jam: practicalselfreliance.com/preserve-cuc...
Maybe you can thin slice a few, separate with parchment, and freeze for beauty purposes?
Dr. David Shark Guy said something about people being afraid of sharks so instead of beading my little Jaws head pattern, I made this Happy Hammerhead head. Up next: tiny crab.
Paging Gojira: Next album, Deep-Sea Oddities!
And he fucked over migrant farm workers by vetoing heat protections. UFW campaigned *hard* for him during the recall election and then he also vetoed the bill that would have made union organizing easier. He owns wineries, so he’s proven time and again he will fuck over his own supporters for $$$.
Headline should read "lady whose job was child torture has nice things to say about fellow sex predator."
“I’m sorry you’re sick but get over it, it’s been five years”. This is the literal opposite of an apology, and a perfect example of how people can’t understand chronic illness. We can’t simply “get over it”. It doesn’t matter how many years it’s been. It’s always with us. Cruel & unrelenting.
Imagine anyone thinking the creepy religious weirdos that run these dark red states actually give a flying fuck about children 😂

I really need a system that keeps me on task when I open my laptop. I logged on to look for a drafting ruler and instead spent an hour rage scrolling bsky.
F'real cuz [REDACTED]
Yesterday was insane so I haven't checked into the current social reality. What'd I miss? What fresh horrors has this administration and the false opposition left flaming on the doorstep of humanity?
And the thing is, doing this is literally doing what Trump wants you to do? By refusing to continue to do the work of being attentive to how race shapes your life and the life experiences of the people around you, you’re choosing to go along with the planned white supremacist agenda, willingly
I'm wondering if some of these platforms can be convinced to create a tier for disabled writers? Like how some services have rates for senior and disabled patrons. Or how some software companies have a nonprofit rate. What about patreon? Is that a viable option?
We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.
The comments — which have proven mostly uncontroversial inside Israel — are further proof that revenge and causing mass civilian casualties were always the intent of the war on Gaza, says journalist Oren Ziv. "This was planned."
Pretty sure this is by design. Centrists are parasites in human suits, pretending to be reasonable all while still being just as bigoted as the GOP.
That was dreadful, you must pay the fine now 😂
The Biased Media Tells You These Dead Children In Gaza Had Their Whole Lives Ahead Of Them. But The Media Won't Tell You Their Life Expectancy Was Only 40. Tomorrow In The Free Press
Anyway, I'd rather clean up multiple piles of dog shit every day than read anything that stupid bitch bari weiss' "fact-free press" publishes.
lolwut? 😂
So pee pad territorialism is a thing? Puffin finally used the pee pad to wee yesterday & this morning we woke up to Crapocalypse. Based on paw prints, Goose kept turfing him off the pad last night & there were *many* puppy potty messes. Worse? Goose retaliation pooped AND peed on the floor. *sigh*
I hated those books, didn't watch the show, and have no particular concern for a rich white guy. But ffs people, have some basic decency. I'm really hoping GRRM came back with a solid "you first, jackass."
This is Puffin. He's so adorable that we forgive him for going potty everywhere but the pee pad.
Thank you! 😸
Still laughing at Saeed calling him a sentient paper bag test earlier 😂
I called @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social's office to let them know what I thought about his grotesque pushing of right-wing talking points against fellow Democrat @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. You can call, too, if you're so inclined! (202) 225-5936 #DidThisToday
Check your misinformation, pal: bsky.app/profile/karl...
Bill & Ted but make it anthropomorphic bookworms.
Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of “clearing homeless camps.” I’ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times I’ve seen it people weren’t even given option to move their things.
Because they're terrible people.
Well that's someone who's fine with marginalized groups suffering as long as they're comfortable.
Also many of you should have fought to defund the police.
UNDERRATED 😂
US Park Police now doing traffic stops in DC, and charged at me with a baton for filming closer than they liked
Woohoo! Thanks for supporting makers 😁 If anyone out there is in the market for some crazy cat people jewelry, check out my etsy shop, Bitten Beads! bittenbeads.etsy.com
Which is why the lesson is to keep incentivizing politicians to do what’s right instead of treating them as heroes for doing so. They follow us, not the other way around.
Do yu see? Haow cute i am?
Yes but why acknowledge the blatant fraud when they can blame marginalized groups for her loss?
Who exactly is he fighting for? Definitely not homeless or Trans folks. Nor any other marginalized group, seeing as how he vetoes civil rights bills he doesn't think are necessary.
Here's my feedback: Quit banning Palestinians.
Personally, I'd rather force feed the weirdos who came up with this staples but I hear you.
Yep. I'm either an Xennial or an Oregon Trailian. I hated the goonies as a kid & can't imagine it standing the test of time. The ppl claiming goon status are the ones that act like the 1990s was some gilded era of women's rights instead of that time when society looked under the rotting log.
Both excited and anxious to go home to the yearling dog and the fresh-baked puppy.
Ignoring my to-do list and yet, still productive.
That firecracker jelly looks like it lends itself to beading
I do not want your AI scam I do not want it Sam-I-Am I will not have it in my house I will not use it with a mouse I will not put it in my pocket Launch it to the sun in a rocket I do not want it in my life Using it would cause me strife I do not want your AI scam Stop making this shit Sam-I-Am
It's no secret that deep sea fish are terrifying. I mean, look at this guy. He's clearly straight out of someone's nightmare. But have you ever wondered why so many deep sea fish are red? Like, what's the deal with that? Turns out, I'm gonna make you learn some physics for #FishOfTheWeek 1/3
they are murdering the people who tell the truth.
Self-reminder reskeet
Remember when Hegseth’s own mother wrote a letter condemning the way he treats women? How can anyone be surprised that he’s sharing Christian nationalist propaganda stating we shouldn’t vote and must “submit to our husbands”? Wonder how many women he’s forced into submission?
I no longer have a coven of cats but here is Luke, one of a pair of Spotties I had back in LA. He's helping me by crushing the boxes I was planning on using to stage some jewelry photography. He takes the "fitz" in "if I fitz i sitz" as a suggestion, not a rule.
"We can't have Palestinians On Here because some of them are scammers" is the same as "We can't give money to homeless people because they might spend it on drugs and some want to be homeless" is the same as "We can't have universal healthcare because some people will abuse it."
I can't stop laughing at Cuomo. Y'all this is a man currently paying $8000 a month to rent an apartment in NYC [a city he doesn't actually live in so the apartment is probably vacant which means HE could give it to a low-income person to live in].
I hate how funny this is because you know generating this stupid map burned through 100 gallons of water or something.
We’ve already been over this. I’ve got the degrees, the credentials, and the receipts. If you’re looking for “low IQ,” try looking in the mirror—or at your own Cabinet. (2/2)
