Ghost #photography This is my son’s cat and he is appropriately named Ghost. As you can see, he’s as white as a ghost and he kind of disappears into the chair. He also likes to hide and you are more likely to hear him as opposed to see him.

Friendly reminder that feeding raw meat to your pets has no proven benefits, and is full of risks. This is especially true as we see growing numbers of cats suffering from raw diet associated H5N1 infections.

Cats can literally transmogrify into furry bread but we just call it "looking like a loaf."

This is a link to the official #altGov starter pack. Keep up with the federal employees who care about this nation and not the oligarchs' whims. They'll tell you how it is, not what 47/MuSSk wants us to know. go.bsky.app/FLUwv5d

does he mean anything to you

💥ATTENTION FEDS💥 All the termination letters going out that we've seen use "inadequate performance" as the reason for termination. SAVE YOUR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS. Tell your friends who aren't on bluesky! Probationary employees can't be fired for "poor performance" if their performance is not poor

I’m not going to lie, for every list I see without disabled people listed as at risk from this administration, my dread grows. We are the easiest group to eliminate. They do it all the time. Pull treatment, minimize risks, get you to believe we don’t count. Don’t matter.

Hey if yall haven’t used this in a bit because it wasn’t nailing it, try again on “high.” I’m curious for feedback on the new model; this is being used for other accessibility purposes (like wheelchair navigation, in a very souped up way) and I want to get it right

You are fantastic. You are a phosphorescent mushroom with a thousand eyes. You are a jackal-faced lobster on the moon. You are a grimoire made from moss and pressed wildflowers and the ichor of acorn gods.

I could use some help spreading the word about my Etsy shop. These are all handmade creatures designed and hand-sewed by me. They each take many hours to make. A sale or two would be a colossal help. jeremycreature.etsy.com

Good morning from the Himbo Squad

I think the general internet argument view of “you have emotion about this event har har, you’re triggered, you have an emotional response to cruelty har har” has been a complete disaster for humanity both for the person being told that and for the person saying it

There are people who assume those with disabilities are faking. That we’re scamming the system somehow. That it’s “fun” to be disabled. They never seem to consider that most of us are faking being well. We put on a smile and a brave face & push through suffering that most could never comprehend.

This is such a sweet photo, and on the back...

I just added more things to this list today: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Poverty & disability make terrible bedfellows. They’re inextricably linked, feeding off each other in toxic ways. It’s nearly impossible to make health gains when living in poverty & you’re almost guaranteed to live in poverty if disabled. It’s a vicious cycle designed to keep us trapped.

You are fantastic. You are a rat king rolling through an abandoned amusement park. You are a dancing skeleton under a blood moon. You are a phantasmagoria of lightning bugs and ecstatic ghouls. You are a capybara goddess devouring the sun.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

If you're in the lgbtqia+ community and you aren't absolutely horrified that they're taking away letters from our acronym, it's because you haven't yet realized that this means they're coming for your letter next. This is a flex and this is a test.

Love to see this. Scammers are scum (too).

Mother, why. Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

literally the only American institution not complying in advance is the US Army

A petition in Denmark has already garnered over 200,000 signatures seeking the "Denmarkification" of California by purchasing it from the United States in response to President Trump's push to buy Greenland.

'Safety first' when sacking Rome.

Torrential rain is expected this week in Los Angeles, which risks producing flash flooding and landslides in areas stripped of vegetation by the recent wildfires.

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

Hard yes and also why we need more creatively trained ASL interpreters because it’s now obvious that it’s more than just an accessibility box to check off, it’s art all on its own. I could watch that ASL performance and FEEL the music, not just read/parse the lyrics.

Fun fact: I lived alone for the first few years after adopting Mini as a kitten. Since meowing is a behaviour kittens learn from listening to humans talking, and I’m a quiet person when I’m alone, she never learned how to meow properly. This is her best attempt at a meow.

i hope it’s clear that big tech is not an ally. it only was as much as it was profitable. textboon rainbow capitalism, and now when they saw the writing on the wall, they flopped back into fascisms arms

Protect and celebrate trans youth; but also cherish people who come out later in life, often in defiance to decades of resistance and cultural conditioning, often at tremendous personal and professional cost. It's never too late to recognize and grow into yourself.

Banks, payday lenders, and credit card companies can now scam Americans with zero consequences because there is no longer a functioning agency to hold Wall Street accountable. This is a coup and your Members of Congress need to hear from you: indivisible.org/coup?source=...

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history. I am incandescent with rage.

17 states are suing to overturn section 504. www.bazelon.org/wp-content/u...

Resist. Everything. Everywhere. All At Once.

NEW: A group known as the 'puppygirl hacker polycule' has leaked thousands of police training & policy manuals from departments across the country www.dailydot.com/debug/lexipo...

External studies have shown: -NIH funding directly or indirectly supported the development of ALL new treatments that were FDA approved between 2010-2020 -the return on NIH investment is estimated at 25-40% annually given the improvement in productivity from a healthier workforce Facts matter.
