Screenshot of two posts, shared by two different users, right on top of each other in my feed. The top one says: Lostcatdog @lostcatdog.bsky.social. 3h Washington Post: "Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you" Teen Vogue: "Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier" The second post says: Teen Vogue @teenvogue.com 20h Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it's important to know your rights before you're face-to-face with ICE agents. While there's never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here's what they can and can't legally do to you and what you can legally demand. [link to article]

Truth in satire

@alexis4seattle.bsky.social I’ve been following your voting record in the Times and I want to send a big “thank you” for standing against the much of the council when appropriate. Glad I voted for you the first time around and just filled in my dot for you this year. Keep up the good work!

Besides a no brainer levy for public parks, I fully disagree with all of the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social editorial picks. Every. Single. One. I feel like their only concern is “moar cops plz” and not leaning too far left. Reminds me why I stay away from their opinion section.

Let me say this.

I’m so proud of Bernie Sanders and AOC. They signify what real Americans, old and young, really look like. What Americans really want their country to be. And what freedom really SHOULD be.

If I’m proud to be an American, it’s because of them.

The power of on-screen representation 😻🐈‍⬛

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

I’ll be there!

GameStop selling Canadian and French operations as CEO laments 'wokeness and DEI' | CBC News GameStop Corp. is looking to sell its Canadian and French operations as it evaluates its international assets, the video game retailer said in a Tuesday news release.

Never shopping at GameStop again.

The desk chair I picked up in 2018 is now losing height as I sit in it. Takes about 30 minutes, but it ends up too low and I have to adjust it.
Not bad for a chair I picked up at IKEA for hobbies and occasional personal computer use. Carried me through the Pandemic as my office chair. 😢

YouTube video by Clint's Reptiles We Just Discovered a TENTH Hammerhead Shark!

I have really taken to watching videos on phylogeny on YouTube. I love learning about this stuff and almost wish I could go back to school and study all the things.

Anyway, going to share this super cool video on hammerhead sharks and how they relate to each other.

Yep, That's 66-Million-Year-Old Vomit Paleontologists in Denmark found a once-gloopy, now-hardened mess that they believe was spat up by a Cretaceous-era fish.

The 10 year old in me loves that “regurgitalite” is the real name of fossilized vomit. Regurgitate for science!

As part of my self care this week, I am reading “The Ministry for the Future” by Kim Stanley Robinson.
I totally recommend this read, especially after hearing news from today.

Hey @stasichase.bsky.social welcome! First time I’ve tried “@ing” someone, so here is a cat picture as a treat. This is Pickles 😁

Back on the grind tomorrow

What to Do if Ice Comes to your Door: 1. Do not open doors. ICE cannot come in without a signed warrant. Tell them to pass the warrant under the door before you open. 2. Remain Silent. ICE cannot use anything you say against you in your immigration case. So claim your right to remain silent! 3. Do Not Sign. Do not sign anything ICE gives you without talking to an attorney! 4. Report the raid! Call rapid response hotline: 1-844-724-3737. Take pictures, videos & notes. 5. Fight Back. Get a trustworthy attorney and explore all options to fight for your case, protect your family and neighbors!

Just going to post this here. For reasons. Stay safe and protect each other

My work thought for the day: The more I use Python the more I like Perl.

Ok, first post has to be my kittens.

I have power but my son still doesn’t. He’s crashing here until his place is powered up. 4 out of 6 of my coworkers are still without power. It’s a mess up here.

I like it here too! Still trying to figure out what posting here should be called… I mean we could use “tweet” but I’d like something new and clever.
