Given this long history, it's sensible to conclude the US has been a tyranny from the start (with periods of waxing and waning intensity). This should be uncontroversial but for many, accepting the stark facts is hard, perhaps impossible.

In what is arguably the World's Best News, it looks like India is going to spend much less time in the "fossil fuel detour" than the US or China. It is moving much more directly to clean electrification.

That's unfair to 8 tracks ... they have vintage rarity value and are rising in price. An LNG terminal is like buying the most expensive Firewire accessory in the world a decade after USB-C and Thunderbolt arrived

Friend has left all her sewing gear, including fancy sewing machine and overlocker at ours while she cooks for a station for the season in Aussie. Successfully used sewing machine last week. Now time to try and thread the serger. Never had access to an overlocker before 👀😬

this looks dope

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

It's no fun being that delicious

So, autocorrect realllllly though Magdalene should be MEGALODON, and I cannot stop laughing.

Actual tears.

That is wildly unexpected

I'm curious too, but can't find it on TM. What did it go for?

Solid life choices. I hope you have a hot beverage as well

YES, the US book and publishing market absolutely affects the Canadian market. They’re putting out literal millions of titles per year to our 10,000. So the US administration’s chilling effect on #LGBTQ publishing will change what new books you’ll get to read in the next few years. What can you do? - Follow queer authors and their publishers (check out those Canadian and small and academic presses). - Follow literary journals that feature queer work. Share their content. - Most of all, buy their books new whenever you can! Sales of new books determine whether a category will be supported, or an individual author’s next book will make it to print. (Even indie authors have to feel like they can get their books out and recoup their costs.) And do your book shopping in queer spaces where queer and diverse books are prioritized. Spaces like this only exist if you buy books from them. (US friends, this goes for you too.)

I hate to keep pushing, but my books are some of the only reliable income I have. If you can, please pre-order my new novel, By The Way, and support an indie and LGBTQ+ author and illustrator!

people talk about it a lot but i’ve never seen butlers do a single jihad

Excellent strategy!

A vintage field-guide style art card on textured paper titled ‘Specimen 01: Decay’ and ‘Inky Cap.’ A tall inky cap mushroom stands in leaf litter beside a fallen log, with a dark ink band dripping from the cap and a small ink puddle at the base. Three bullet notes describe it self-digesting into ink, appearing after rain, and growing on disturbed ground/wood chips. A small ‘juvenile’ inky cap doodle sits on the right, with tiny star-like sparkles scattered around.

Funguary 2026 begins! 🍄✨

Week 1 theme: Decay; Specimen 01: Inky Cap 🖤

I’m doing weekly Field Guide Cards for this challenge, so each piece is a little “specimen page” study

Beautiful colorway💜

When your gorgeous feline* sits on your lap slow blinking at you, there's nothing to do but slow blink back and enjoy.

*All felines are gorgeous, it's how felines do, as @zefrank.bsky.social would say

Single frame. Title: “[redacted]” A line of early teen? girls looking at the viewer. Behind them, silhouettes of four generic men, some with hand on shoulders of the girls, which have been through six iterations of redaction to satisfy the newspaper’s lawyers that none are identifiable.

My @smh cartoon.

I’m fascinated by the stories about ICE agents sad about being unable to get service in restaurants, because they suggest the ICE agents aren’t just cruel monsters, they’re too stupid to realize what is likely being done to their food in places where they *are* being served.

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

Spectrum of Allies The Commons is an online library for the change makers of the world and for those interested in social change, activism, organising, advocacy and justice.

I truly believe discourse about voters (especially those who may have voted for Trump) would go better on this app if everyone was using the spectrum of allies as a framework

A Well Regulated Militia is Not Terrorism Anti-Ice Protest Open Carry Douglas County Fairgrounds Jan 31 - 1 pm

Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

Backtracking after backlash means backlash works. Also, saying didn't know what you're doing means you shouldn't be in Congress.
