COVID IS NOT OVER. Summer wave in North America is underway now.

this isn’t a new photo - I took it a few years ago - but wanted to share it regardless

this science was undertaken using data from u.s. satellites at the end of their life. trump (and musk) slashed any chance of replacing them. it is REALLY important that the world stop relying on the united states. (amazing report from @readfearn.bsky.social) www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

🚨Watch out for this story tomorrow (FRI). A group of Catholic bishops, priests & faith leaders are going to the federal court building in San Diego to stand in solidarity with migrants at their hearings. ICE has already assaulted elected officials. Will they beat up priests next?

Don’t use AI to identify whether or not a plant is edible. Don’t use AI to generate a trail route. Don’t use AI to create a recipe. Don’t use AI for creative work (it turns your brain into mush!). Maybe, like, don’t use AI!!

It’s a failure of journalism to do shit like this. Donald Trump has said that something will happen “within two weeks” at least 5,000 times in the past decade with easily over 4,900 of those “deadlines” passing with no action.

“Any time, any time while I was a slave, if one minute’s freedom had been offered me, and I had been told I must die at the end of that minute, I would have taken it – just to stand one minute on God’s earth a free woman – I would.” Sharing 'Mum Bett' Elizabeth Freeman’s words on Juneteenth.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

SCOOP: Trump’s tax bill includes a little-noticed line that spends $200 billion on a tax break that rewards private equity firms for taking over small businesses and then loading them up with debt, slashing employee pay, mass firing workers, and driving them into bankruptcy.

I think it should be a bigger story that the Senate is preparing to confirm five Trump judicial nominees whose answers to questions about the 2020 election are exactly what you would say if you were a “Trump only lost because of voter fraud” conspiracy theorist

LOL debating re-reading a book that WOULD have been my favorite [omg. FL stabs her trash ass ex, and FL LITERALLY TURNS THE KNIFE ahah. - Look it's a historical, times were different.] But the author put in a HUGE infodump of actual Ming Dynasty law and I'm still traumatized. >.<

O_o I'm learning some people think all cotton is stretchy.

LOL I mean I've NEVER claimed to be a math genius, but ... I'm pretty sure this fabric description/detail is uh ... wrong. "65% polyester 69% cotton"

🔥 The NAACP won’t invite Trump to its national convention in July—marking the first time in its 116‑year history that a sitting president has been excluded. NAACP President Derrick Johnson: it’s “a waste of our time and energy to give a platform to fascism” www.blackenterprise.com/naacp-exclud...

Everyone pack up and go home, I've found the best possible tourist trap gift shop purchase.

Rest in peace sir. And thank you on behalf of my family and our young teen cousin bound for Juilliard this summer. slippedisc.com/2025/06/firs...

going to keep saying: a society that would like to maintain its basic functions has really got to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by people in positions of authority

I’ll bet a lot of people don’t know that at least twice this week members from Illinois have tried to inspect a facility in Chicago (& armed ICE employees refused them entry).

Finally, a Holy War I can join

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

As always, I’m here to answer the important questions! #fantasy #archery #nerd

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics. #wnba

This is a jaw-dropping lie. Check my feed for videos of ICE at Dodger Stadium trying to get into the parking lot and being blocked by the LAPD.

Oh damn. What a perfect pithy line. “天如负我我便逆天。” (Tiān rú fù wǒ wǒ biàn nì tiān; If the heavens fail me, I will go against the heavens.) - Blossom #cdrama

UBI should be a dividend paid: From the land we all inherit (Land Value Tax) From the economy we all sustain (Value Added Tax) From the damage done to what we share. (Carbon Tax, etc.) #UBI is not welfare, it’s rightful compensation to citizens for our ownership of our nation

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck. Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special. "She probably doesn't mean me" I do.

I see there are thousands of replies to JD Vance, and while I understand the impulse to dunk on this rotten piece of garbage, be aware that he will use comments at blue sky to attack the site and try to get it shut down, and also to harass selected individuals. Much better to just block the fucker.

Another Starship has exploded, this time on the launch pad. In normal times there would be a lot of pressure (from the FAA and NASA, for example) to shut down SpaceX or replace its management. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

This is some terrible headline writing that implies Black people (who I suspect are not confused about Juneteenth at all) are not Americans. Come on, dudes. You can do better.

To fund the new athlete "revenue-sharing" that many Division I programs are "opting in" to in 2025-26, many schools are raising tuition and student fees, taking large internal loans, and even restructuring the entire business model of their athletics department. www.chronicle.com/article/loan...

@isobelcarr.com do you mind sharing your recipe for kimchi please?

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year. Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year. Capitalism kills.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting
