@squishable.bsky.social reports they have a rainbow trout available. It is very cute. Wish they'd use alt text so I could just reskeet 'em. They are not the only company to make the baffling assumption that people with low vision don't like plush toys, but it's still weird.

So, Skylings, in a day like this, we explore the concept of romance across species. It’s called mating. And where marine flatworms are concerned, that takes the form of penis fencing. Yes, I’m serious. Search the web. Also,see ALT. Pseudobiceros bedfordi. Malapascua, Philippines, 2013.

An old friend of mine has suffered a traumatic brain injury and is unable to continue their work as a community nurse in the Philly area. They, their partner, and their kid could really use some help right now, if you have anything to share.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

I don't think we're at a point, if we ever were, that news orgs can just put fascists on TV and let them show themselves to be bad people we don't want in charge. We can debate this, but a couple weeks ago a guy did Nazi salutes on TV and the general public is of mixed opinions about that. 🤷

* turning out the light on my partner: It is very dark. I feel like there was something I was supposed to mention, but it's probably not that important. Partner: As long as I won't be eaten by a grue or anything. Me: Hoo boy. Someone did not read the waiver. The grue:

I did get my latest Sims couple to stop knitting and drinking endless glasses of water long enough to find out more about the time machine in the current live event. I wonder if a pool would help, but he's not a mermaid, he's just bored.

I can apparently only hold the cat upside down like a baby for about ten minutes at this point. I suspect she's putting on weight, but also I just need more sleep. Still, that's ten minutes of purring and claw flexes near my face, which is nothing to sneeze at. Literally. She's a nose-biter.

My little was briefly here, and is now trying to decide if she should tell the others there's new Gabby's Dollhouse they're missing. They might not be able to do anything about it even if they really want to, so I suggested maybe not, but I don't have any feel for how time is running in there now.

My partner: rarely online at this hour: Did your internet just go out? Me: Yes, because it's raining and xfinity is run by those fucking aliens from Signs. It's done this four times today, usually not for more than ten minutes, but holy fuck, it's Seattle and they need to get it together with rain.

Explaining to my partner which blankets they can use while theirs dries. "Wait, which one will the cat sit on?" "This one." "Then that's really all that matters, isn't it." (It's not. They have texture issues too, and their favorite blanket is one the cat gets stuck in. There's layering.)

A lot of us are scared right now, there is a lot of awful going on. What do you do when faced with fear, how do you cope? Do you have anything you would recommend other people do if they are scared? How do you find comfort and joy while you are frightened?

I don’t think a single private citizen who is unelected should have full access to the federal government with zero oversight or accountability actually. Seems like a bad thing.

CW suicide In case you missed it, because this is important. This is what the nation is teaching kids. The GFM goal seems to be met, but goals are never high enough to meet needs, and it might be a way to show the family you support them in concrete terms. www.gofundme.com/f/prayforjoc...

"Said something I didn't know was offensive and naive about a minority group." Okay, that's not an automatic block. But "Immediately LOL'd about my offensive comment when pushed back at and then told people they have thin skin," yeah, that's a block.

Says something that even the BOP is trying to find ways to mitigate some of the extreme risks to the trans prisoners. They're not exactly a bunch of softies, even they know this policy is murderous in intent and execution.

I am not only fine with using "bug" for non-insect arthropods, I fully endorse using it for the entire Panarthropoda. (Hopefully @jopabinia.bsky.social will not block me for this....)
