Hodopi, a mallard in an Edo-era hat and haori jacket, is the mascot for Hodogaya, in Yokohama.
I am so fucking tired of "seeking justice" being framed as "getting even." Arresting and/or impeaching people who are legitimately guilty of actual crimes is not revenge. It is justice. Innocent people should be released from detention and guilty people should be in prison. Again, that is JUSTICE.
I had to go into a Target a couple times in the past few years to look for a specific thing, and 1) I did not remember them having more security cameras than a casino floor. 2) why would anyone want to shop at a store that requires an employee to unlock the shelf for everything?

Anyone this interested in reframing accountability as retribution should not be in a position of authority.
MS NOW@ms.now · yesterday"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf."

There is no moving forward without accountability. We cannot build tomorrow until we have a full reckoning with yesterday

I said this on @nativelandpod.bsky.social but I'll repeat it here: A dangerous narrative is going to be "the GOP gerrymandering didn't work." NO. It worked GREAT. We just OVERCAME it. But we'd have even MORE seats, and different candidates could have won those seats, without the gerryamndering.

*rolls 2d20* We've got... Kale Chips Contaminated with... Thallium
Deborah Blum@deborahb.bsky.social · 2d agoI wouldn't normally post about food safety on this critical election day. But thallium is a poison to take seriously. And it's not "potential contamination" as the FDA notice suggests because California labs have already found it. 1/2

It might not have come up recently: the worst photos are the ones that are almost awesome. Cool pika action shot? Check. Is the pika in focus? Absolutely not.

Spookiest thing I've seen on this last day of October is the lizards and insects still being active.
Happiest Halloweeeeeen! We'll see some of you little trick-or-treaters at today's Pumpkin Bash! For the rest of you little ghouls and boos, have a safe and treat-filled Halloween!
Mundane Halloween returns! Halloween is great, but the greatest part of Halloween is the annual "mundane Halloween" costume contest sponsored by Japanese website @dailyportalz Here is a thread of some of my favorites from this year...
I know we'll never get everyone to stop uploading others' writing without permission to Google Drive, so this is me asking them to at least limit Google's ability to scrape all those AO3 fics uploaded for AI training. They sometimes move this around, but you can find it! proton.me/business/blo...
Ellery 🏳️🌈@sparksofstardust.bsky.social · 6d agoIn the wake of AO3 being down for a while, this is a gentle reminder to everyone that anything that goes into Google docs or Google Drive is then scanned and stolen by Google for their AI.
