Not absurdly pricey, I know, but I really really realllllly want this one. But make it expensive because every day I would scratch the fact off while sitting on a beach or scuba diving.

A small pug, wearing a blue harness and sitting with her back legs tucked and her front legs straight out in front of her, on a white fleece blanket with a teal couch pillow behind her. Her ears are pulled back and she is making a very grumpy frowny face. She’s not buying whatever garbage you’re selling.

Mood.

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

Don’t you dare supposedly do this in the name of us federal employees. Caving now means you helped torture us all for nothing. When people die from losing their healthcare it won’t be in my name, it will be in yours.

Exactly! Every voicemail I left these ghouls I specifically said I will go without pay forever if it means my friends, family, neighbors, etc., can afford friggen healthcare and not die. Because otherwise wtf.

My fantasy football team looking real sad today with no Shakir touchdown.

Wow, this is stunning.

Is there anyone who grew up in Olympia that didn’t go on Dance O Dance at TCTV?

Stunning work!

A hand holding two grey and white socks folded in half so that the bottom of the socks face the camera. Both socks have lime green and teal woven patches on their grey heels, one woven patch looks much more chaotic and uneven than the other.

There is a lot going on that’s out of my control and sometimes feels overwhelming. I’ve started darning holes in my socks to give my brain breaks from it all (and also I haven’t gotten paid in over a month). You can probably guess which sock was done after I had a two day long migraine versus not. 🧶

If the system requires starving people as a legal strategy, maybe we should change the system!

I just watched the finale and damn I wish I could watch this all for the first time again.

My partner and I have been telling everyone about it. We were surprised no one else we know is watching it either!

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

If leaving your home often is not easy or practical & you perhaps have something that you could sell on eBay, there’s an option on eBay where you can donate up to 100% of the proceeds from sale of that item to any one of hundreds of charities. A number of food banks & immigration orgs are on there.

Loudest Emergency Whistle by ThreeD-Michael | Download free STL model | Printables.com

Yup! I was able to 3D print some for free at my local library. I used this file I've seen shared around: www.printables.com/model/417238...

Thanks for sharing! I didn't know eBay could do this.

A picture from my volunteer station at a food bank. There are stacked canned goods on metal tables, with tables of produce and other volunteers in the background as we prepare to open.

630+ people served today in only three hours. Support your local food banks however you can! Utilize food banks however you need! 💙

Any other furloughed feds wanna match food bank volunteer shifts 1:1? I'll be at my local food bank helping out tomorrow (and trying to keep at it until I can return to work and have funds!)

Bolinopsis microptera comb jelly (ctenophore) swimming horizonally.

Let's do another #ctenophore survey.
You are scuba divining and see this lobate comb jelly cruising in search of prey. Is it swimming to the LEFT or RIGHT?

A video from when I was a GS-3 doing bird surveys. That's right, a GS-3. I also had to pay rent to the Army Corps for the FEMA trailer I lived in that flooded when it rained. My first paid gov job.

Me! Standing on a platform in front of "Big Tree", a massive coast redwood. I'm holding my arms out wide to emphasize what a teeny tiny itty bitty baby I am next to this giant tree. A sign says Big Tree is 286 feet tall, 23.7 feet in diameter, 74.5 feet in circumference, and an estimated 1500 years old.

Will I be illegally fired this week?! Who knows! But here's a picture of me with a giant tree that will outlast us all!

I'm mostly a Bsky scroller. Not much to see on my account. :)
