Mosaic of a patron saint rat with a sun behind it and a little heart. Below it states “Hot Rat Summer”

Tomorrow afternoon Councilmember Hollingsworth and I will be restoring “Hot Rat Summer” in Cal Anderson Park. This mosaic was wrongfully painted over and we are going to fix it.

I met them at the top of Denny. The people won.

I’d be more stoked if people didn’t ride them in the sidewalk.

This is opening of an Octavia Butler novel

Hooray! Now bring back your line of maternity pants.

Gorgeous! And to me it looks in line with the space-forward aesthetic of that time.

I didn’t even know pea milk existed. 🫛 🥛

I’m also shocked at how little protein is in almond milk.

I just tried setting up my online social security account to download my records. They will send me an activation code via SNAIL MAIL in 5–10 days. 😬

A shrimp stands on a plastic straw with her claws on her waist, and she has her angry eyebrows on, and she is saying fuck you and every bastard who enabled you xoxo the ocean. On the bottom in a rectangle in sand serif font, it says paid for by the invertebrate caucus for a survivable future. There’s a squiggly blue background in mid tone blue and light blue

Tonight in Art Therapy with the Plucky Shrimp, we are speaking on behalf of the ocean, and are VERY mad, not only at the evil guys in charge but also at every evil person who enables the evil guys in charge. Every last one. May they know no peace for the rest of their miserable lives.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

Call to Action: The Merit Systems Protection Board, an independent federal agency that safeguards federal employees in employment disputes, has paused the terminations of six probationary federal workers across various executive branch agencies and departments for 45 days.

Can we call it “comedy” when it’s not funny?

With microbial ecology, you can have “diversity” AND “culture” in the title.

I’m pretty stoked about the beads.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

So, what are you going to DO about it, SENATOR?!?!

You have a position of power. Rise up to the challenge, bro.

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov

And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi...
