Last year I got enough carrots that I just finished them off a couple weeks ago. This year...that's it. I'm so fucking fucked. #garden
The giant hedge of blackberries I intentionally cultivated over the last few years isn't doing a damn thing other than putting up spikey shoots all over the yard and garden. I think they're the same strain as the ones overgrowing the area I've been trying to clear out and producing berries.
More handbuilt wall sconces. Trying to come up with stuff that takes up a lot of space in the kiln because I need inventory and I can only manage a few mug bodies a day and can't do big stuff at all. The last bloody coughs of a dying animal. Shop.brambledragon.com #ceramics #pottery #art
Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
What the US government is doing to Dr. Fauci is the embodiment of what they are doing to scientific infrastructure overall.
So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
Fuck, my arm hurts. Fuck, I wish I was worth anything at all without it. Fuck, I would love to be able to sleep. Fuck, I wish I lived in a country with working healthcare.
I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
I wonder if it's still somehow too early or if that's just as big as they're going to get. This year has been bad. #garden
TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.
Trump plans to end Medicare program that gives seniors subsidies to lower drug costs. Seniors will now have to pay higher premiums. The program will not be renewed for 2027. US sacrifices healthcare for 250 Escalades and a plane. #ProudBlue#Boices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/ALnTrBcNRTnq...

stephen miller killed this couple, as surely as if he'd pulled the trigger himself
Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Missed my chance to drop off garbage yesterday. Another week of this white trash dump reeking. Everything hurts and I'm not getting enough done to make the pain worthwhile. Life is a constant barrage of shit that makes me wish I could end it. #ceramics #pottery #art #workinprogress
A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.
Secret paid influencer campaign backing Stevens floods Michigan Senate race
Rep. Haley Stevens and the Senate Democratic PAC said they were not involved in the effort to pay for user-generated content endorsing her.
