I occasionally (all too rarely) come across lamb bacon. (Lamb belly, smoked.) It's delicious, and it can be halal. If you ever see it, try it. It tastes as good as pork bacon smells.

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here. Risk has increased sharply for youth in many states as clinics shutter under Trump and state AGs refuse to enforce civil rights laws. For adults, some increases in risk. Nationwide risk remains extreme. Subscribe to support my journalism.
Good boy! *gives you a peanut butter treat*
You are not allowed to get out of the chair until cat allows. I fo not make the rules. Cat makes the rules.
Yes, yes, yes! His mainstream novels are ***excellent***. And I usually don't like horror!

If you don't feel like being creepy, then celebrate Day of the Dead this year. Like Halloween, it's about the time when the veil between worlds is thinnest, and it takes place in graveyards. Unlike Halloween, it's a *celebration* of people who came before. I think it's the better holiday.
The photo is spectacular!
Plug in. Get soup!
What do you put on a dragon? A t-shirt, I guess??? Now released, the Clawz T-shirt for the Moonfang! Comes pre-torn and with several on theme text! Get it at: jinxxy.com/Inkblitz/cla... BUT ALSO, summer sale is now on! Use 'bringonfall' to get 25% off my store! (Even this!) #VRChat #Moonfang

Oh, yes, yes, yes. Magical school with uncertain powers? Check. Powerful magical beings? Check. Prophesied One? *DEFINITELY* check. And Naomi Novik LISTENS to her readers. When a phrase was problematic, she changed it in future editions of her book.
There are many, many books and web comics that use the premise much, much better. Here are my two favorites: - Gunnerkrigg Court ( gunnerkrigg.com ) - Naomi Novak's _Scholomance_ trilogy ( bookshop.org/p/books/a-de... )
You missed the right wing's complaints when Pope Leo XIV was announced: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Senator -- I could have written that message. You have vastly more power than I do. Could you please finish the sentence, "To try to restore SNAP, I..." Thanks.
We are in an unprecedented time--when most people's needs are simply not being addressed by politicians, because addressing those needs will upset the uber-wealthy who hold the purse strings of political donations.
Increasing sweeps before/without a massive increase in temp/perm housing and social services is plain cruelty and just adding to peopleās trauma. This is not the way, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov
Easy: "Immigrant Song" and "Miserlou".
You need this piece of joy.
Trump says museums focus too much on the ānegative aspectsā of American history, like āhow bad slavery was.ā And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: heās not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught aboutā¦
According to CNN, he is alive: www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/p...
Centaurworld was an amazing experience. It started out like a simple isekai -- one world at war, one world very childlike. Then you learn how traumatized Centaurworld was, watch the body horror take Horse, and how much depression is happening there.
Of course, you couldn't make _Life of Brian_ today. Graham Chapman has been dead since 1989!

I can't let you into this toilet until your PCR test completes. Whoops! You have XX genes and the SRY gene. That means, even though you have a working penis and testicles, you're female.
Ozy would be a perfect Sam. They would be steadfast and true. Milo would use the ring for every practical joke he can think of. Marigold would teleport to gollum-hood as soon as the One Ring calls her a beautiful unicorn.

L.A. Taco started when people noticed how much *great* food is made by immigrants with deep skills. They celebrated L.A.'s underground food culture. It then focused on the people behind those taco stands. L.A. Taco is an amazing publication, for every story they post.
I got to talk with @lataco.bsky.social's @eltragon.bsky.social about his tireless documentation of immigration raids in LA, and how his knowledge of the city's street food scene makes him a better immigration reporter
No one in the replies has found a source. Could you please tell us where you found this report?
Hereās another new cosplay fursuit head Iāve just finished ā and this one has a bit of a history. I first started working on it back in 2021, but it never quite came together the way I envisionedā¦ until now. Check out this thread to see some more details and wips!
You look wonderful!
_The Hollow Places_ would be perfect as a Henson production. Especially because of the Wonder Museum. The Henson siblings would have an amazing time creating puppets for that book.

A little bit of blush and some lipstick can do wonders.
There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
I know it's illegal on here to notice that our leaders are actually fighting back in the job we actually elected them to do, but here's the Wall Street Journal bitching about Schumer's "historic" delaying tactics that have left almost 90% of Trump appointee slots empty. archive.ph/2025.08.27-0...

You are amazing, Ink. You have turned your passion into a business, and you are constantly gaining new admirers. You turned a nightmare into -- well, not everything is peachy. But it's less of a nightmare. Good for you. I am proud of what you have accomplished.
It's brilliant how you replaced the weird old racist man in your logo with a mass murderer cannibal! 10/10. No notes.
In the meantime, there is this song: youtu.be/kSQ8tZ35t4U?...

gop on fox news: union station is a godforaken hellhole that needs to be purged by centurion turmp's jackbooted thugs! reality: union station is a nice normie place that thousands of people use every day as a transport hub and leave them the fuck alone
I... guess? Can we risk going there? They might not have burritos.
*drools*
According to the Northwest Ordinance ( www.archives.gov/milestone-do... ), it takes 60,000 people to create a state. As a counter, I propose dividing California into 650 different states, each with two senators. Just think of how awesome America's new flag would look!

That would be funny if: 1. Trump was still just the star of _The Apprentice_. 2. You weren't the Senate Minority Leader. If you believe that post, then work with your colleagues to strip him from office.

Congratulations, Professor!
On that day, I will proudly play the most patriotic song I know: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCXJ...
I've watched this so many times. It's music in a way you've never heard before. I think my initial comment was "if Vangelis had composed the music for the Star Wars Cantina Band scene." www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaG5...
I just learned that rats wag when they're happy and thats the most adorable thing ever šš„ŗ
It's despicable how they approach Latino, Black, transgender, female, etc. people. Period.
[P] In honor of #NationalDogDay, and in the interest of posting something thatās not completely doom-filled, here a video of me getting buried under fourteen golden retriever puppies back in 2021. Genuinely one of the best memories of my life.
This might help create more good brain feels: www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Pb...
Representative Jeffries -- I could have written every word of this statement. I am not the Minority Leader of the House. As the Minority Leader of the House, what are you DOING about Dr Lisa Cook's firing?
***deepest sympathy*** Your plans are wise. Take some time off.
Beautiful!

Crap. Thank you for letting us know.
It is with a heavy heart I have learned that Carole Curtis writer of the anthropomorphic comic Katmandu passed away Aug 19th. Without the opportunity she gave me to draw her stories, I probably would not have the friends & family I have in my life today. Thank you, for giving me that chance. RIP.
To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me ā not time or political circumstance ā from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

I went to a fundamentalist Christian high school, so we didn't have that. But, yeah. www.reddit.com/r/AskOldPeop...
Please. Instead of writing "California is going to fight back", finish the following sentence: "As your senator from California, I..." Last year, we voted you into office. We *need* you to represent your home state. Please don't let us down.
*gives you a perfect mug of tea, some cookies, and sympathy*
If you only think the majority is deserving of respect, security, opportunity and a voice, you are the fucking problem.
Listening to the full story about this. Hearing news anchors laughing at people being sent to the hospital in a terrorist attack because they happened to wear ears/tails is justā¦ mind boggling to me. Anyoneās life is seemingly disposable so long as they can be categorized as āotherā.
Oh, no, no, no. Under ICE, anyone who speaks Spanish is immediately suspect. Period. White-passing doesn't matter.
Like you, I grew up in the 1980s. My music tastes were formed in the 1980s. When I hear songs from the 1980s, I have nostalgia-- --and with few exceptions, music has gotten much better since then.
Yeah. Some asshole stole my friend's car radio in San Jose, CA in 1998. It never happened to me, even though I parked every night in the same lot.

For people who don't know DC at all... All of the stations where National Guard is at are around the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court.
It's okay. I'm waiting for the first reference to the 1990s as "the end of the second millennium."
To say that this year was a success, would be an understatement. 110 Campaigns across a variety of different streamers and events $66,921.88 raised And so many memories Stay tuned for next year for more fun:)
I know sometimes I shouldnāt, But Itās hard not to bite back about shit when Iām a creator of queer stories in a time where queerness is under attack. Iām the daughter of an immigrant when people are being stolen away. Iām a woman seeing my rights are a constant debate. Maybe Iām just PISSED off.
So calling you "good Daddy-girl" will keep both of us all night?
Happy birthday!
Why, Trump is *excellent* at turning oxygen into carbon dioxide!
We would love you even more! (We would follow you to find the best ice cream!)
everybody come watch this with no background noise. brain reset.
I agree that 2028 is important. But I want to worry about 2026 first. I want to flip the House, if it's at all possible.
i will ask liberals a simple question. If Gavin Newsom was otherwise identical but anti-abortion, if he said things like "life begins at conception", and that we need to "understand" the position of anti-choice voters, would you still call it a "purity test" if people didn't want to vote for him?

another korean american has been detained by ICE, a violinist named john shin from utah. he was allowed one 30-second phone call to his wife and they havenāt heard from him since.
Reasonable.
The candidate with experience in the judicial, legislative, and executive branch of government? The one that destroyed Trump in her one debate? It had been the easiest decision I had made.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
