Trying not to make the world worse. I’m a vegan animal living in Maine who loves reading, libraries, audiobooks, science, plants, permaculture, fostering, growing mushrooms and water kefir, worm farming and all things compassionate.
Um.. 33% of Americans approve of Trump’s performance? How in the actual fuck? This stat does explain a lot about American culture (rampant nationalism, narcissism, misogyny, a complete lack of understanding of history or economics, out and proud racism..) though, doesn’t it? Will it ever end?

In Minnesota yesterday, close Trump ally Mike Lindell, the former chief executive officer of MyPillow, lost the Republican primary for governor to Republican state house speaker Lisa Demuth.

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.
I bet you didn’t know how large an ‘unholy fuck ton’ was, did you? Don’t lie ffs!
@optimisticsoap.bsky.social · 18h agoI’ve been doubling the number of stickers in every bulk order (oops!) — orders moving forward are now correctly sized. Box text: “Unholy Fuck Ton. 666 tiny fuck stickers. Use responsibly (or don’t).” The full liability disclaimer in this product listing: www.optimisticsoap.com/product-page...
Vegans are not unpopular because compassion is extreme. They are unpopular because their choices raise an uncomfortable question: if we can live well without exploiting animals, why are we still doing it? #vegan #veganism #animalrights
In the USA alone upwards of 1 BILLION birds die flying into windows. This is pathetic *and* preventable. You don't need to buy window reflectors --though you certainly can, I did-- and this amazing video shows the cheapest, easiest way to save the lives of wild birds, wherever you are:

I'm an amphibian at heart: dark, cool, green-covered waters are so inviting. ❤️

“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made… socialism is their name for most anything that helps the people. 1952. Truman. This is how stale their desperate fearmongering is. cc: @MarshaBlackburn
The difference between the bible and The Lord of the Rings is that if you find a LOTR book in a hotel room someone is sad because they lost their book.
The main difference between the Bible and The Lord of the Rings is that when someone calls The Lord of the Rings their favorite book, they’ve probably read it.
Surrounded by women, lawmakers, and advocate champions, Gov. Maura Healey signed landmark legislation ensuring full abortion access in MA. Women have the fundamental right to choose for their own bodies. Healthcare is a human right, period!
Libertarians in a nutshell: vomiting at the idea of Democrat in office. I contend libertarians are just needy republicans that want to feel special. I've never seen them vote any other way.

Your "free-range" chicken suffers just as much as any other animal. A society that gleefully, ceaselessly tortures the most vulnerable, defenseless members is lost. #whyVegan
MarcPieterse@marcpieterse.bsky.social · 3d agoThousands of chickens dead, suffocated in a shed where the ventilation failed. 😱 Every person buying meat, eggs, or dairy is paying for this system, a system where animals die in the shed, on the truck, or in the slaughterhouse. If you buy or eat it, you fund it. #LiveVegan Choose Compassion 🙏
Meet Fluffy! Then please consider fostering, no matter where you live. And of course, never breed or buy while homeless animals die. #dogs
Niall Harbison@niallharbison.bsky.social · 3d agoI've done a lot of rescues over the last few years. This has to be one of the hardest. To see her this evening is very heartwarming but she is very very 50/50. Please keep everything crossed for little Fluffy. I called her that as I dream one day she might be fluffy again
The RNC will tell the truth from time to time, only unintentionally. 😂
