It is weird having a short haired cat after having two long haired ones mostly because I didn't realize how often I'd be seeing my new cat's butthole.

Boston doesn’t back down, Pride edition 🌈

The most pointed example of the administration’s slavish devotion to the president’s self-image is within the walls of the White House, which has been transformed into a veritable shrine to Trump’s visage. Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Linda was shot in the eye while covering the protests in 2020 after the death of George Floyd. She suffered a traumatic brain injury, lost her eye and entered hospice care last year. I'm giving her $50. If you can afford it, I hope you will match me: www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

After drawing all those dragons in WHEN YOU GO TO DRAGON SCHOOL, I figured I was qualified to make a ‘How to draw a dragon’ video 😆 Full video on my YT, link in comments! #kidlit #kidlitart #dragon @mackidssl.bsky.social

bluesky, where you go to be yelled at by people who agree with you

It’s my Improbability of Puffins. I love this term of venery for puffins (who are indeed improbable looking sea birds). It’s part of my series of prints of groups of animals and the weird and wonderful collective nouns to describe them. #linocut #printmaking #puffins

Today in context clue failures, I just realized hoi polloi means the opposite of what I thought it meant. Glad I checked the dictionary before using it in my draft...

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Already saw at least one Dem Congressman making the same point about denaturalization and just begging, begging people not to descend to the level of calling for stripping the citizenship of people you don't like.

😂

Can someone get us into those Tesla board zoom meetings

I am going to try and post a bookstore pic once a week for the next year! #1 @bookculture.com #NYC #upperwestside #buybooks #amwriting #kidlit #MG #summerREADs #booksbooksbooks!

The irony that cutting Elon off might be the only actual efficient thing we’ve seen Trump do.

I feel like Musk could really blow MAGA's collective minds just by continuing to tweet out facts the rest of us have known for years but never penetrated their media bubble.

It’s the happiest day of Elon Musk’s life because he finally posted something people actually want to read

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.

elon musk to donald trump at every meeting in the oval office: “you are in the epstein files. meet my 3 year old son”

Elon Musk, the genius visionary who could not predict that the guy who has betrayed every person he has ever met would betray him

I feel bad for our country. But this is tremendous content

Someone should tell Trump that Elon would feel very owned if he fully funded USAID and the CDC.

Musk now claims that Trump “is in the Epstein files” and that this is "the real reason they have not been made public.” This comes after Trump's post saying, “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts."

now’s my chance to sneak in and become president now that the other presidents are fighting

I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE. Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high. By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a steel chair.

It's Pride month! Perfect time to submit to our anthology of stories by marginalized authors, SFF and horror, on the subject of "a door opens." cjsubko.com/enter-here-a...

Honestly thought this would all happen back in January when Elon made himself the main character of Trump's administration. Amazed that he lasted so long!
