When the fuck are we getting Ranked Choice Voting in Maryland 🤦♀️
It's not just New York. In Maryland, at least two state senators & one state representative are losing to challengers to their left.
Maryland delivered a win for voter privacy this week: a federal judge rejected the DOJ’s demand for sensitive voter registration data. The League has been fighting these demands. So far, the DOJ has sued 30 states and D.C., lost 9 cases, and won none. We remain vigilant. @lwv.org @lwvmd.bsky.social

Still here, just in password purgatory. This app is only fully logged in on my laptop, so… Also debating whether to merge this account with my other one. Honestly, fewer passwords sounds like a small act of kindness to myself.

"They" are human beings. As Jews, we know all too well where government propaganda like this leads. This is white supremacist extremism that inevitably fuels violence.
If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.
I don't give a damn what any possible 2028 presidential candidate thinks about 2028. Show me the work you're doing *now* for the Midterms. What are you--aspiring leader of the party--doing to win back Congress? Show me that work, and I'll give a damn re: your thoughts on 2028 after the Midterms.
I didn't mean to scare this turkey vulture. He was perched below me on the shore. But isn't he gorgeous? #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky
I got a chance to watch baby mallard ducks with their parents. This cutie had 11 siblings! Taken during a beautiful sunset. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

"A mind is a terrible thing to waste." You've undoubtedly heard the phrase, but do you know its origin? Today is the 82nd anniversary of the United Negro College Fund. Founded by Black luminaries such as Frederick Patterson of Tuskegee & Mary McLeod Bethune of the National Council of Negro Women
I'll say it again, one of the worst things this rampant push to cram "generative AI" into everything has done is make people suspect bright kids of cheating when they're just nerdy or bookish or neurodivergent, sanding down their unique edges to fit into people's lowered, homogenized expectations.
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 3mo agoThe child’s mom, a university professor, “suspects her daughter was flagged by the teacher’s AI detection tools because she used terms such as ‘the titular character.’”
"SPLC is the real bigots" is this week's weird right wing obsession
US Republicans are fighting for a dirtier and costlier form of energy because coal mining is male coded and MAGA is more than anything an obsessive crusade against anything that can be perceived as feminization
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 3mo agoIt’s honestly insane to watch American conservatives pretend that the energy transition just is not happening. Batteries are bridging the gap in California. Many countries in Europe get the majority of their power from wind and solar. It’s just… here.
Patron has total inability to use a mouse. However I have his movie pulled up and he has agreed not to move the mouse and close everything for the ninth time. We are stopping at eight. At least he has a sense of humour.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #CamoOrContrast. This barred owl blended in perfectly with the fall colors of the dead leaves. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky
For Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #CamoOrContrast, I'll add one of my favorite contrasted photos from this winter. This male northern cardinal was foraging in the snow. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky
Finished my sea turtle. Just needs some paste wax tomorrow.
