Hi everybunny! It’s been a while since I’ve visited bsky. My mental health has been going through it due to politics, and not finding work. I’ve been hiding under a rock but need to climb on out or else it’ll get worse during Winter 🥲 Gotta keep fighting the good fight.

I missed getting a San Diego comic-con ticket but I’m still going to go and have fun finding things to do outside/nearby. Going to try and do an Elaina from Lazarus fit 😌

Just a selfie edited with a pink & green sunburst as the background.

I love old MySpace graphics so I made this :p I’ve seen them be called preppy signs but I’m not sure if it’s even the right term :D

I wish I had gaming friends to do release parties with. Do you guys remember standing outside of GameStop for midnight releases? The one near my house would get a DJ for the parking lot 😆

Omg thanks for reminding me! Haha

They’re kept in literal cages. The lights are on like 24/7. Here’s an example. The older kids console the little ones.

Welp, the federal minimum wage is now officially a poverty wage (as in, a full-time worker earning the federal minimum wage gets paid less than the poverty line for a single person). www.epi.org/blog/the-fed...

😂 he talked about the headline on stream today and said it should of been different. In my opinion it definitely needed to be reworked to imply it’s the body MAGAts wish they could have haha

Yes 🤣 Fiesta Island really brings out the bros but we go there bc my friend has a little sail boat and the speed limit is low so we don’t have to worry about a jet ski taking out the kids. Hopefully that dumb truck doesn’t take too much business away from the guys pushing the ice cream carts

I hope I don’t regret ordering a Switch 2 😅 Did anyone else get to preorder one?

I can hear the bead crunch through the photo

Interesting. We have solar panel fields in California and they scorch birds and insects that fly over them. The projects also kill/affect tortoises and other wildlife that live there.

It’s absurd. Imagine going to the salon for a haircut and then telling the stylist you’ll pay in 30 days.

#Hubble' s image shows the Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302), a planetary nebula with a symmetrical structure resembling butterfly wings. In the center, a dense ring of dust obscures the central star. The nebula expands in vivid hues: deep blue (oxygen), bright green (hydrogen), and hot red (nitrogen), creating a bright, layered effect against a black background of space. The gaseous "wings" extend widely, with intricate details and glowing filaments.

NGC 6302, also known as the Butterfly Nebula, is a remarkable example of how stars, as they age, can take on some nice shapes sometimes resembling flowers or insects.

April’s “Pink Moon” is the first full moon of Spring. Named after pink phlox flowers.

36,000 Angelenos on COACHELLA WEEKEND. Let that sink in…125k people are in the desert this weekend, and LA was still able to amass a crowd this large to support Bernie and AOC’s anti-oligarchy tour.

Bernie speaking at Coachella? Incredible.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue Former Substack writers who exited the platform in early 2024 are making more money on Beehiiv and Ghost thanks to their fixed pricing models.

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.

I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.
