youtube.com/shorts/fM2Nx... I hope I never find myself glorying in the misfortunes of broad swaths of people. Even though I wish that the propagandist and power brokers would find themselves out of power, that is individuals.

Science is an economic driver in Hamilton, Mont., thanks to Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a federal research lab. Now, layoffs and funding cuts are having an impact in this town far from Washington.

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens. After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

THE LUMBERJACK (1914) is a rare surviving example of itinerant filmmaking of the silent era. A small filmmaking team would show up in town (Wausau, Wisconsin in this case), shoot a simple story starring the townsfolk, hold a screening and then move onto the next town.

I was nominated to serve on a federal advisory board for childhood lead poisoning and then it went dark. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Well, there is someone who claims to believe in God but has no patience for understanding the things they believe He created.

The color of the sky on my world

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

I don’t have any suggestions that aren’t already below, but I am taking notes.

I was homeless and living in a shelter in 2019 there was a pavilion that set up three days a week that signed up folks for free cellphones, and very low cost smartphones (like $5 and $5-$10 a month data plans), if you had a SNAP card. Which the shelter helped you get if you don’t have it already.

Antivaxx and libertarianism are the same--they can exist only when the majority of the population buys in to what it takes to live in a society, allowing the minority to think they are outsiders thriving on their own exceptionalism.

Perfect, no notes.

…I am intrigued.

I’m not sure, but I think this hummingbird might have been sticking his tongue out to catch raindrops.

New board game, Sherlock: The Game Is Afoot Basically a simpler variant of Clue, but with an oddly Elvis-esque Mycroft Holmes.

California folks I hope this works. youtube.com/shorts/NFlWC...

I’m not thrilled that this place is shrinking but I’ll be here until they turn the lights off because text-based social media is all my brain is wired for and I cannot keep up with discord to save my life

This is 100% true. It doesn’t help anyone to burn it all down if they’ll die from lack of care while it’s getting rebuilt.

My doctor changed my diagnosis to "Endocrine Disorder" in November without me asking--because he saw the writing on the wall. Ask your doctors to do the same--Just to protect your access to life-saving medication.

Four images of clouds with added faces that are funny.

ok so an important thing i really think people on bluesky need to hear about the anti-trans megabill the tl;dr is that you could actually turn the tide of trans rights in america right now but if you don’t act now, then we’re all cooked indefinitely please read on 🧵

Jeffrey Seller’s memoir “Theatre Kid” is the best book I’ve read in ages.

this is very fair what we need is deep reinvestment, cultural and financial, in the places outside the major US media markets. and in their local info, news, cultural and civic life yeah it’s a lot! it has been left to decay! Facebook has filled the gap left behind, we can see how that’s going

Gif is a plane spraying crops. I will believe Kennedy’s report when I see if the actual authors shared their process and data and got it peer reviewed.

Practice guilt-free reading. Read whenever you want, whatever you want, and in whichever format you prefer. #BookSky

"Dottie, people don't think - and if they do, they're not thinking about you"

Almost forgot to give my annual reminder: Please for the love of whatever, don't wish the Veterans in your life a happy Memorial Day. It's not our day, and it's not really a happy holiday.

This Memorial Day Weekend, the goal is to grill without eating metal spikes.

Greetings from Geneva, where I’ve been encouraged to meet so many people fighting tuberculosis and other diseases of injustice. I have also been horrified and outraged to learn more about the death and suffering directly caused by the US abandoning human health initiatives. Hard days.

I hope ICE agents get the Gestapo justice they deserve. No masks allowed at the trials. Documentation will survive to identify each and every single one of you. Following orders will take you away from your family and behind bars

from today's post, about the fuckery that went down at the secret crypto greedfest dinner that was held last night at Donny Convict's Virginia golf motel please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/3Zw1nel (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

“We take vaccines so for granted in the United States” ...“Women in the developing world know the power of [vaccines]. They will walk 10 kilometers in the heat with their child and line up to get a vaccine because they have seen death.” Melinda Gates

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

youtube.com/shorts/S6uAM... Common sense about global food.

My mom is still sad her vaccine fear kept me from the HPV vaccine @ 9 bc it was “too new” and didn’t “do enough” Now Ireland has all but erased cervical cancer. 80% of women get HPV in this country. It is ACQUIRED BY the 90% of MEN who are CARRIERS. Please get your sons and daughters vaccinated.

After 3 previous rejections, AG Tim Griffin finally approves ballot language for constitutional amendment to protect direct democracy in Arkansas, sponsored by League of Women Voters. @grajeda.bsky.social reports in @arkansasadvocate.com #arpx #arnews arkansasadvocate.com/2025/05/21/a...

House Rules Committee votes to allow increasing taxes without 3/5 vote of the House per House rules. Won't tell America whose taxes they are raising? Any guesses why that is? Who is getting their taxes raised to pay for the rich to feast & the poor to starve. Chip Roy not in the room Shame exists?

Reverse image search tools are great for finding out the original source and story behind images shared online. I use them all as they often give different results: tineye.com yandex.ru/images/ www.bing.com?scope=images... www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&...

The Proud Boys were at The Capitol bragging about their Insurrection... So I stormed them 💙🌈🦅

youtube.com/shorts/5imtU... Nice to know there are still some Republicans who can do math.

Let the record show that my book WOLF WORM (coming next year!) was written BEFORE this all happened, so I’m not ambulance chasing, I’m just Cassandra.
