@andrewpope.bsky.social Hello there. Just wanted to say hi & that I enjoy your feed😊

I ❤ #cartoons

My #FridayReads is Wool by Hugh Howey 😊📚

It's not too late to tell the CDC that shortening the Covid isolation guidelines to one day is a terrible ideas that will increase the ongoing rates of death and disability! Click through for templates, info, links and more. open.substack.com/pub/peoplesc...

Every time a cancellation happens swers tend to see a big drop in interaction cause people get weird and paranoid so idk maybe go tip someone today please. You can interact and engage in respectful ways. You can reskeet to boost engagement. You can like new posts to help get in feeds 🖤🧡

*every state and federal government agency

I'm on a Pedro Pascal kick right now so I've been re-watching The Last of Us and goddamn the production design & SFX are incredible! So beautiful & so much detail, too. I love it!🍄😁 #horror #tv #TheLastofUs #dystopian #HBO #Max #fungus

I can't stress enough how downplaying COVID has emboldened the far right. When you tell people "you do you" or say that schools don't need public health protections, you shift the Overton window, making it easier for anti-vaxxers to say it's fine to spread measles.

As if she couldn't get any more incredible, today I learned that Harriet Tubman was also an amazing naturalist who utilised Barred Owl calls as a form of communication on the Underground Railroad! 🦉: audubon.org/news/harriet-tubman-unsung-naturalist-used-owl-calls-signal-underground-railroad

As someone who is going through IVF, and as someone whose household very recently suffered the death of a baby, I feel extremely qualified to say that no, embryos are not children

I got a VERY excited call from my editor yesterday, then my agent joined the call, then I thought “Oh Jesus, is this about the Hugos?” but no! You glorious weirdos bought so many copies that THIS happened!

In 2021, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell offered $5 million to anyone who could disprove his claim that he had data showing voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Now, he must pay a 64-year-old from Nevada that award, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

imagine getting this kind of opportunity as a writer holy shit

I am, personally, tired of figuring out something to eat three times a fucking day

i love blocking people, this is what blocking people feels like

Me before reading @chuckwendig.bsky.social ‘s Black River Orchard: spooky apples? As if! Me after: apples have a deep, intimate connection to the world and energies around us, both good and evil. We must respect the fruit.

I irritated my family with apple factoids for weeks after reading this! Very few things scared me enough to make my intestines writhe inside me the way they did while reading Black River Orchard, tho😱

It's Tobias!!🦅😁

Hallmark should make an I'm Sorry card for when you mistakenly take someone at their word.

This week I am going to continue to try to resist acquiescing to despair. (per Mariame Kaba’s pep talk below)

The oil companies took notes on how hyperlocal control left us with a housing shortage, and are trying to run the same playbook to stymie solar and wind power www.usatoday.com/story/news/i...

There is no amount of increasing border enforcement or deporting people that will ever make the American right wing believe the border is being properly handled by a democratic president. Any compromise on this is just a signal that they can demand more & keep the issue live. Immoral, bad politics.

SCOOP: Relief workers say as much as 70% of the Narcan they distribute is “trashed” in encampment sweeps. If the state is spending millions of dollars to provide Narcan to residents who need it the most, why is it being pulled from their communities? inthesetimes.com/article/los-...

I mostly stay in my lane, but the attitudes towards asylum seekers and all migrants in this country have gotten worse and worse in recent years. It's an absolute disgrace, and it cannot be laid at the feet of Republicans only.

What is a very real risk to EV adoption in the US? Auto dealers. Why? Simple. They make more than half their money fixing internal combustion engines. It's where the profit is. So, when you see articles saying dealers say customers don't want EVs, don't believe them.

The pace at which the media has rehabilitated almost every liar from the Trump era suggests there's some sort of competition among news outlets to catch them all like pokemon

i called my mom to tell her about the ai voice spoofing scam and she already knew about it! apparently AARP magazine has been writing up all the scams for old people so they don't get caught in them. shout out to AARP magazine

I'm disabled, chronically ill, have depression, and I was just forced to move. I feel really alone and haven't fully recovered from losing my community on Twitter. I don't know why I'm writing this- a distraction maybe? Christ I'm pathetic. #chronicillness #disabled #depression #mentalhealth

A new report shows that the Proud Boys took a dramatic dive in activity in the latter half of 2023, dwindling to nearly nothing. There's lots of reasons for this. But the biggest, I believe? All the Proud Boys who went to prison. www.salon.com/2024/01/11/t...

At some point, "We have to keep Trump on the ballot or there will be violence" becomes, "We have to let Trump be president, or there will be violence," and that is, in fact, the point of the violence.

I repeat — Donald Trump is a stochastic terrorist.

You can't see me, I'm hiding! #Birds!

Crow Exquisite detail and shades on this "plain black bird." 🪶
