After he returned from the grocery store he grumbled that he does not know which is worse: when the produce is possibly contaminated, or when the produce is too damn expensive; and so I told him that neither is a sign of a healthy society.

This is truly amazing—RFK Jr openly, gladly, joyfully telling people that under his leadership of the US health system, actual public health expertise, training, & experience is no longer needed. All that’s needed to lead the US health agencies is a past history of being a right wing blogger!
RFK: We're never ever again going to be dominated by public officials who tell us trust the experts
Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president
Made a couple of quilts with jelly rolls I’ve had kicking around for years 🪡 New machine makes the (straight line) quilting so easy! #quilting
Trump: Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him? *a few moments later* Trump: 😴😴😴
coming up short for some work expenses if anyone can afford some drawings or tattoos
set up a few commission options on vgen! vgen.co/ueeyasu heres a sample for some of the choices 💃
Opening some more slots now that my last batch is finished! Only a few per type this time, so I can have a little variety in my queue :)
I opened slots for these two styles (and shippy sketch commissions) on my vgen! vgen.co/rosieberry Slots aren't currently limited, but I'll close them when I feel like I've taken on enough for the next few months. Thanks for looking! ♥ DM me with any questions
Some in the media still claim that Trump is purely transactional, with no guiding ideology to speak of. They can only claim this because they refuse to recognize white supremacy as his guiding ideology.
Breaking: Lonnie Bunch, the head of the Smithsonian Institution, is stepping down, @kelseyables.bsky.social reports. His departure comes amid months of clashes with the White House.

In the seventh month of the second year of the second term, the heat will become unbearable, the skies will turn red, and bowels will loosen across the land.
sometimes you get two bags of chips out of the vending machine I guess
Sometimes you stay up late reading and the world rewards you
*pinches bridge of nose, eyes closed, takes a deep breath* so do we have ANY idea how many living US Senators there are right now?
I’m going to open a small amount of slots again in a few days! Lily has a vet appointment soon and I’m pretty sure it’ll just be a standard check up, but it would be nice to make a little extra to cover the cost anyway
I'm opening up a few slots for shippy sketches and finished commissions on my vgen! It's my first time using the site as an artist so please be patient with me :) vgen.co/rosieberry
Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should
"who was president from March 2020-January 20, 2021?" is one of the most fiercely contested questions in American politics
Because yeah, he couldn’t have done that.
YUP. This is why ppl actually acknowledgeable in industries... publishing, gaming, biotech, etc... are literally ignored when they say "That's dumb. That makes no sense, and no one will buy that." re: startups. There is no intent to EVER get something to customers. That's some other guy's problem.
That’s a really important point! One of the big reasons that technology sucks these days is that the public is no longer the real customer. Instead, the true business model is about attracting investors or seeking the whole business to a vastly wealthier competitor.
One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.
Wow. Chaos on the Tennessee House floor. Tennesseans yelling in the gallery and Democrats locking arms in one final stand, as Republicans vote to advance new congressional maps that will carve up the state’s only majority-Black congressional district.
