If you enjoy a bit of history and like fungi, I hope you’ll check out my new piece on this pretty little mushroom and the journey to find its true identity. renaissancegardenguy.com/pleuroflammu...

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

It's Friday. Treat yourself to 6 minutes of Ursula K. Le Guin excoriating profiteers and championing arts and the artist www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et9N...

this is why they are bringing the full force of the law against us right now

Give this to Robert Kennedy I guess

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

it seems likely that trans works are gonna be heavily-suppressed over the next four years and this is one of the few sites that isn't yet playing along so: if you want to keep abreast of what trans authors are up to, follow these fine folks go.bsky.app/VaypaqC

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

The only insight I can possibly add is that I’d heard NetEase is pulling ALL investments out of NA. Started last year. Are these layoffs all the NA design team? If so then it appears no, it doesn’t matter how successful your game is, corporate policy created by geopolitics and trade relationships do

F1 75 thoughts: Jack Whitehall was mostly bad, although I did laugh at a few jokes. Aston Martin's presentation was the best--fun, different, classy, and most importantly, committed to the bit. Although Ferrari's sequence showing the designs of all the past cars also looked great.

A planned dystopia, this was not on my bingo card, ever.

It sucks when your thoughts aren't overtly anxious but your body is experiencing all the physical symptoms of extreme anxiety

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Still can't stop thinking about this.

“Gut biome” is quickly veering into a catch-all nonsense word easily exploited by grifters including RFK stans

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

My friend @dutchdogstudio.bsky.social has been calling local pet stores and many of them are NOT aware of the recall! If you are in the PNW please call your local pet store if they carry this brand and let them know about the bird flu and multiple cat deaths.
