Unabashed L/liberal. Opposed to all things C/conservative. Cat parent. Living on the west coast with my soul mate.

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

It's always interesting how "liberal" or "leftwing" spaces (whether perceived or actual) have to "stop being a bubble", but no one asks the same of Truth Social or any of the other rightwing spaces.

Fuck you. Seriously, fuck you. Using this framing: "Two people died of a preventable infection. But don't worry, its just disabled/vulnerable people!" should automatically mean you are eligible for a fiery, pus-ridden, painful, endless and eternal toil in the depths of Tartarus

Breaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.

#PPOD: NASA's Curiosity Mars rover captured these clouds just after sunset on March 19, 2021, the 3,063rd Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission. The image is made up of 21 individual images stitched together and color corrected so that the scene appears as it would to the human eye. 🧪 🔭

Towering, layered sandstone cliff with deep horizontal strata, cracks, and weathered faces rising from a barren landscape beneath a pale, wispy cloudy sky, emphasizing erosion and geological texture.

The gaslighting is off the charts with this one. Every word is a lie. His actual approval rating is the second worst in modern presidential history, behind only Nixon’s 24% just before he resigned.

He also spells potpourri as "poperee," asked the internet where to find a celebratory flamethrower, and got tipsy and yelled, "Fuck yeah, let's go Canada!" at Hazel Mae live on air during the playoffs, so needless to say the man was always going to end up my favorite.

I know it's silly to be truly sad about an adult millionaire leaving your baseball team, but I've loved Gausy since he stepped in to catch the first pitch on Pride Night 2023, did it again this year, and (with his wife) has been vocally supportive of the community. He'll always be a Blue Jay to me 💙

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

I don't just want the Dodgers to lose the World Series. I want them to get swept. I want the AL team to throw 4 no-hitters in a row, and I want every game to end with a final score of 10-0. #MLB
