She/they queer adult in my mid-20s I'm a software engineer and an artist. I got big feelings about life
Bearded reedling 15cm They live in temperate regions of Europe and Asia, their diet shifts from insects in the summer to reed seeds in the winter. Males have a blue-grey head with a striking black "moustache" and bright orange-brown body. Females are a simpler buff-brown without moustache.
Nothing compares to the urge I have to take 4 months off work just to make art and create things
Tech companies getting bigger and building apps I don't need while I'm just over here wishing for software that works right.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.
Our flight from Seattle to Sacramento was delayed by a few hours last night, but we were rewarded with an epic sunset on Tahoma (Rainier) as it poked through the low stratus layer. The pastel peach backdrop was made possible by the horrific wildfire smoke from all the PNW fires.
I saw a Trump supporter say, “You don’t have to like Trump but you have to respect him because he’s the president.” Sir, with all disrespect… he raped kids. I don’t have to do shit.
ICE can no longer be allowed to operate in America. They've broken too many laws, terrorized too many innocent families, killed too many people. We have a right to declare them our common enemy and defend our communities against them. Enough is enough. No more ICE anywhere.
This is still happening. Random men are posing as I.C.E. agents, kidnapping women off the streets and raping them. Our complicit mainstream news media is simply no longer reporting it.
JP@johnathanperk.bsky.social · last yr.Multiple men around the U.S. are posing as #ICE agents, to abduct women off the streets (like I.C.E. does). I feel like this is one of the most predictable repercussion of making it formal gov’t policy for unidentified, masked, armed agents to stalk, surveil and disappear people into unmarked vans.
Just saw this picture and feel like they fit their platonic roles well
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 6d agoThe best podcasts are the ones where all three of the hosts energies are so distinct and perfectly complementary that if the show has even 1% more from one of the people it falls apart completely, you need a loud person, a thoughtful person, and a person who says weird stuff that’s the ideal setup
Reminder: everyone on American soil, whether they were born here or not, has the right to due process. Here’s everything you need to know.
"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington
I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

Testing a bunch of GB games to make sure their batteries still work and I think I can safely say Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is fine.
Shout-out to the devs who put out demos to their games. You're the real heroes of gaming.
