If you don't 100% unequivocally support trans rights, unfollow me. You will find no comfort here.

With ICE raids already starting, remember this when you get asked if you've seen anyone they're looking for,

NO
I don't remember
I haven't seen anyone

Malibu canyon is burning. So far 2200 acres and some structures have burned. Firefighters are doing what they can to protect a lot of homes but the terrain is extremely steep. Topanga canyon is also closed and warnings issued for the Santa Monica mountains. Stay safe CA folks.

a senior pug gal sits upright on her booty, back leaning against a low pipe. her front paws are tented together in a cute little begging formation that we absolutely dare you to say no to. her ears are back and her eyes wide, giving her the vibes of a young victorian street urchin politely asking for a scoop of gruel.

This is Sakura. She knows she already had dinner. But would like to politely inquire about second dinner. 13/10

4yo: Can I have a snack?

Me: Okay. What would you like to--

4yo: I am finking I would like some CREAM PUFFS and a cup of CHOCOLATE MILK. And CHEESE BALLS and HOT CHOCOLATE to make me WARM. And a FRENCH TOAST STICK--

Me: I was thinking a graham cracker.

4yo: WELL I WAS NOT.

My 4-yr is giving Xmas gifts to his best friends. There is one kid who is mean & aggressive to others, and my 4-yr old insists that he must get a gift, too.
"But why?" We ask.
His answer: "Santa won't give him a present because he's naughty. So I have to give him one."

My heart.

‘Whelmed’ really means ‘capsized’ - the over and under were added later for effect. But you can be consolate: consoled and comforted. And gruntled too.

I genuinely can't believe that I'm made out of meat.

Gentle reminder that people like RFK Jr. who continue to spread the debunked theory that vaccines cause autism are loudly saying it's better to have dead child than a child on the spectrum.

Has a bee ever landed on you, and instead of getting scared, you appreciate the possibility that you got confused for a flower.

Pretending to be me on bluesky is such poor form.

If you're pretending to be a celebrity, pretend to be a proper one like Ryan Reynolds.

If you're pretending to be a writer, pretend to be a proper one like Mark Twain.

If you're pretending to be a YouTuber, pretend to be a proper one like Ludwig.

I don’t know how to stress this enough to the culprits, but when you look at an item on a supermarket shelf, your trolley does not need to turn out sideways across the whole aisle at the same time.

Thoughts?

California raw milk producer says RFK Jr. has encouraged him to apply for FDA position The California raw milk producer who has issued several product recalls for bird flu has has applied for an advisory role at the Food and Drug Administration.

Yum yum.

"The recalls were the result of positive tests for H5N1 bird flu among his cows. His farms have since been quarantined...”

Deep breath.
Roll your shoulders to relax your neck a little.
Drink some water.
Take your meds.
Tell the oligarchs to go fuck themselves.
Now go show Monday it’s not the boss of you.

What happened to this country?

In case you didn't know, librarians are educated professionals with a master's degree and don't just willy nilly buy any old books for their libraries.

Also, to anyone who thinks there was a halcyon innocent age in Bluesky's past where no one ever had to banish others from their timelines: There is a reason "Don't engage, just block" is so deeply etched into the Bluesky collective psyche. We've been doing that since the "Bluesky Elder" days, y'all.

BREAKING NEWS:

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announces the USA will push through one billion dollars of aid to Ukraine before Donald Trump takes office.

This morning as I was getting ready for my day, my mind started wandering, as it often does. Today though, it took a darker turn than usual. I don't know what prompted this train of thought, brought up this particular memory, or how I made a striking connection that I had never made before. The incident I recalled happened approximately 20 years ago. I had been at a music festival outside our capital city, at a large racecourse. I went there with my bf at the time. He worked in the music industry, and got us in complimentary. He drove us to the festival, with the understanding that I would drive us that night to the hotel (an upmarket one, which i had paid for) as I did not drink. I remember seeing The Kings of Leon, and The Cure. By the end of the night when were leaving ~2am, me, my bf and his friend got into the car and set off

(I was driving probably only a year at this stage). The 2 guys were drunk and had been on drugs, but relatively coherent. The idea was they would be my navigators for the drive to the city. (I had never driven there, so, very challenging). The guys had a great time, drinking a bottle of champagne and chatting. I got us into the city centre, then the friend decided he was near home and wanted to get out of the car. I continued driving, unsure where I was headed. I asked my bf, but he had gotten more drunk from the champagne and was getting irritated. I started to feel anxious and overwhelmed as I was utterly lost. I just wanted to get to the hotel to sleep. I pulled over beside some huge metal gates on a fairly nice street, to try to gather myself and get my bearings. This is when things went very sideways. I must have been annoying my bf about not knowing where to go, or asking him for guidance he couldn't give, as he suddenly lunged at me to strike me, and he shouted at me.

I cowered back and covered my face with my arms, but he didn't actually hit me. As this was happening, a group of drunken men who were walking past the car saw what had happened. They surrounded the car, wanting my bf to get out and fight them for threatening me. He was so drunk he started shouting back at them and was going to get out of the car. This panicked me even more. I kept stalling the car trying to get away. Ultimately the group of me left. After that, I got out of the car, and tried to flag down a taxi to ask for directions. I managed to stop a cab with no passengers. In a bit of a state by now, I opened the cab door and asked the driver that if I paid him, would he drive ahead of me to guide me to the hotel as i was lost? I don't know what he assumed, but he grabbed the car door, and told me to "fuck off" as he slammed it and drove off. I was in utter despair at this stage.

The bf was just sitting in the car. I had no choice but to get back into the car and try to find the hotel. I started driving aimlessly and by pure dumb luck turned down the road where the hotel was. I parked, we went into the hotel and checked in. Probably about 3.30am at this stage. He crashed out. I developed an horrific migraine with vomiting. What I was reflecting on was the fact that I was a young woman, exposed to anger, threats and potential violence from men. One man who was supposed to be my best friend, and several strangers whose only interaction with me was threatening. I never put it all together before that I was a lone woman, and the only people I was surrounded by or asked for aid were angry, frightening me. I am wondering why I didn't have the presence of mind to leave him in the car, outside those gates, and hail a taxi to take me to the hotel with my bag. I'm wondering why I forgave him when he said he was sorry. And then went off to day 2 of the festival. I can't u

I feel like we've all been there and shouldn't judge our younger self.

Etymology of the day is ‘jargon’, from the Old French ‘jargoun’, meaning the ‘chattering of birds’.

Thirty-eight Pintos blew up, twenty seven dead, and it became a joke. Two hundred, thirty-two Teslas have exploded into flames with eighty-three fatalities.
