This level of hubris, insecurity, image-driven behaviour is not just destroying the U.S. & by proxy the world it's also IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US to some extent While you can't personally solve Donald Trump, you can become aware of this in you & not act on it Choose humility, kindness & integrity

This is important to note! Republicans scheduled their Medicare cuts for January 2027. They want to say, “Look! The Democrats took back the House and cut your Medicare.” If you know someone on Medicare, expose the Republicans' dirty trick. #USDemocracy #MomSky #RepublicanMedicareCuts

The Big Ugly Bill cut Medicare by $536 billion starting AFTER the elections. What kind of thoughtless idiocy cuts programs that seniors' lives depend on and thinks they won't notice? #MomSky #RepublicanMedicareCuts

This one goes out to the tweakers "This one goes out to all shady transactors, the actors, the hangers-on Blasting transistors, the TVs, the fisters, the first time French kissers"

this guy gets it

If we can't stop them from building data centers, we can absolutely get meth heads to make them significantly less profitable.

This was a great ad. #Michigan @abdulelsayed.bsky.social (H/T @underthedesknews.bsky.social )

Here is one of my favorite videos. It’s basically a guy explains how he taught local corvids to collect bottle-caps.

You CANNOT just ask a senior if they've taken their meds They will say yes no matter what You HAVE TO find a way to check and make sure We count out the day's meds and check how many are left after every 4 hours when her pill alarm sounds She almost always says she took it when she didn't

Remembering when my boss who has gotten me in a new age cult told me in 2015 that I had to vote for Trimp because Hillary was the reinca of Stalin Fuck The Summit Lighthouse, Church Universal Truimphant, I AM movement & all religion

7. Falsification of history Stalin made sure that the names of his perceived enemies were removed from textbooks. He went so far as to disappear people from photos. Trump has ordered the Smithsonian to report only “unifying” history and avoid “divisive” narratives, thereby covering up past racism.

"Everything is just data so we can computer it" has broken so many brains I swear

I'll take what's behind door #3 Sorry Only 2 doors 1. Be everyone's emotional handiwipe 2. Be alone

Any good podcasts or resources on navigating relationships (of all kinds) with CPTSD and Depression?

More than 70 years after the kidnapping, torture and lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi, a major new photography exhibit asks how the world would be different “If Emmett Till Lived.” If Till had lived, he would be just over 85 years old today.

New Exhibit Imagines Emmett Till’s Life If He Had Come Home Alive

The exhibit comes as the Trump administration escalates attacks on DEI and censors how history is publicly presented.

This gozilla of an el nino is still ramping up, and not expected to peak until mid to late November. We've a long way to go. And I expect the southern hemisphere will see similarly bad wildfires as the seasons change.

Ableism is baked into Western culture I've never met a person irl with a greater measure of health than me that didn't, in some way, punish me for being chronically ill Therapists & doctors are some of the worst too

"turn back into a juvenile at any sign of stress, which is something that I’m sure we all wish extended to humans.” Umm pretty sure humans totally do this all the fricking time At least emotionally

When you kill it, it doesn’t die’: the jellyfish that has cracked the secret of immortality “When this jellyfish gets old or gets hurt, instead of just dying like most animals, it transforms itself back into a baby jellyfish and grows up all over again. .” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

You refer to eating an entire bag of crisps in one sitting as “mildly concerning”. I refer to it as “seeing things through” and “not being a quitter”. Everything is all about perspective.

What do you do when your curse is that you pick up on things & see things about other ppl that they are far from ready to see in themselves?? & these things happen to cause you direct harm so your choice seems to be: A. Say nothing & continue to be harmed Or B. Say something & they blow up at you

This was THE song that got me into the MGs back in the early aughts in Mpls when Lftr Pllr and D4 were still around

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

Houses being investments is so stupid

One trend that worries me is that vet prices seem to have undergone massive inflation in the last 5 years or so. I have a pet theory* that part of this is due to the influence of pet insurance. Pet insurance is following the trajectory of human medical prices and insurance. *that's right I said it

There's a lot of demonising of emotionally immature Parents that I dislike Yesterday, my dad yelled at me while I cooked for them. I tend to yell right back & storm off Today, first thing he asked me how my cat was doing. He hates cats. I know this is his way of apologising Annoying but sweet

Racism is fascism practiced on Black people first. Before Adelanto was "Adelanto ICE detention facility," it was Adelanto Community Correctional Facility." Only 5% of California is Black, but 27% of the state prison population is Black. Yes waterborne illness in some facilities has killed people.

People need to worship what matters. Clean air. Clean water. Safety. Shelter. Kindness. Compassion. And stuff like that. 💔🙏💔

As environmental crises deepen, yesterday’s unthinkable becomes today’s necessity. The more desperate the situation, the less room there is for ecological restraint or consideration of consequences.

South-eastern Europe faces heatwave energy crunch as Romania detonates Danube rock to increase water flow – as it happened

Explosives used to move a large rock and let more water flow to cool nuclear power plant

Yup. You did. And cancer research for children was first to go.

The only question that matters is why millions of dollars for minutes of screentime When minimum wage is still $7.50/hour in some states? Celebrity worship needs to die ass badly as the patriarch does

I have been doing FT elder care For 2 years straight My sister jets off with her kids & husband to vacations & Taylor Swift concerts My mom is so confused today Trying to get her to ER Both she and my dad yell at me & shame me

I fucking HAYE having to chew food!!!! It's loud and taxing and I have no energy for it i hate having to eat i wish I had no stomach and just existed on air

At your next meal, take a second to think about the people working long hours in HOT 100° temps to put food on your table. They're not just statistics. They're real people who can't avoid the heat in an air conditioned house or office. #WeFeedYou
