LOOK AT THIS SWEET BABY

I got up from my chair and woke her up by accident

Bring back: "What kinda shit is that?"

I never agreed to any of this.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Anya was unusually tolerant of having a phone pointed at her, so I got a pic without motion blur

Special shout out to my white brothers and sisters who realized that being the defense lawyer for water biscuitry isn't worth it

I love this. You’ll probably love it too. These J6 bounty hunter punks cosplaying as ICE agents think they have the upperhand everywhere. Drunk on power, but nope. They’re cowards.

At some point maybe you'll hit the "I care SOOO much less" or the "I don't care at all" stage like women in menopause/post-menopause do. It's not just your physique you won't care about. You won't care about SO MUCH MORE and the freedom is awesome, truly. #Recommend

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

Free yourself from the opinions of assholes. It will then become easier to free yourself from their decisions. You have agency and you are justified.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

it's friday.✌🏽 if you made it to today, keep going. ♥️

Seriously, they're the worst!

Like her Medicaid ain't getting cut.. Fuck you Bethany

Making things better day 152: I told senators and congressman to stop the ICE raids in LA that are tearing families apart and destroying the economy. I made a monthly donation to an organization helping immigrants in LA. www.chirla.org

Please do whatever you can to help your neighbors who are so afraid of ICE that they can't go to work. Please help them as you would the person you love most in the world. They are that person for someone. The day we care about the pain of others is the day we end most pain 🤎

Japanese Snow Fairy.

If only it were a deer and not a MOOSE. Great video though.

We've been here before. For those who know our history, best ask those questions of #POTUS & #CIA not necessarily in that order. #FFS #CANSOMEONEMAKEHIMSTOP #SMH 🤦🏼‍♀️

I fell asleep at my desk a number of times today which is not a good look considering where I work but I think maybe it was the spreadsheet that did it. So many cells filled with numbers, letters...I had great dreams during those little naps though, fully detailed. Then I'd wake up and be all, WTF.

Squeeee!! #Wordle #BeattheBot

. When you've spend hours looking for your little black kitten... . . . and then... 💙 🐾 💙

first day of funemployment let's fuckin go

Please enjoy this photo of our new kitten Bobby and our mostly confused dog Ralph

Oh, what a thing to be proud of, El Paso www.yahoo.com/news/el-paso...

Bested the bot!! #Wordle #BeattheBot

"Questioning While Brown" #QIB www.huffpost.com/entry/sen-al...

Since I am straight and white and raised in the Christian tradition, and due to menopause involuntarily infertile (my imagination on the other hand...), not married or submissive or economically dependent or fiscally constrained or a wife, I cannot but wonder how I will be managed.

DTLA!!! god this is so beautiful 🥺

ALL Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve Personnel Know. Military members are required to obey only Lawful Orders. An Order that is clearly Unlawful not only can be disobeyed-it must be disobeyed. Following a patently Unlawful Order-can result in criminal liability under the #UCMJ.

anti-Blackness is a global system. non-Black groups all around the world try to make music like us, cook like us, dance like us, dress like us, talk like us, speak truth like us… but when it comes to acknowledging our intellect, our genius, our pain, our contributions, our humanity, we are erased.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

Woot woot! #wordle #beatthebot

Fed 😒

They’re even turning the sandwiches GAY

Today, on #caturday, I remember Mr Ziggy. I still miss him but sometimes hear him purring still. 😿😿😿

Marines and national guard against civilians? I think it’s time to take shit up a notch. Time to start naming, shaming, going out to where they eat dinner, creating horrible smells and lots of noise in their places of work and leisure. More boycotts. Peaceful doesn’t have to mean nice.

Thyme was an extra special good boy today at the adoption event. He helped shop for cat toys while we were there. He's approximately 9 months old and still looking for the best home ever. #Kittens #Caturday #Cat #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #catsky #CatLover

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

Pentecost Sunday reading: But there have been several efforts to deliver us from the hands of primitive, irrational religion… Another attempt was made by Jesus — that one was hijacked by viral influences within fifty days of his death. Snow Crash 26:238

Two notes on ICE/Police dynamics: Many in law enforcement loathe ICE because ICE makes it harder to solve violent crime. People don’t talk or report crimes when they fear an ICE ambush. There’s also the status issue: e.g. ICE aren’t real cops. They’re playing tough guys, arresting moms & grandmas.

The Trump administration's baseless deployment of the National Guard is plainly retaliation against California, a stronghold for immigrant communities, and is akin to a declaration of war on all Californians.

This was the plan. California was always the target.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.
