Is this about your knitting video?

Oh yeah @akellah.bsky.social and I are in Japan.

This gashapon had a photo booth for your finds.

Behold Otter and Disparagus.

In my 20s: oh, sure, I can pull an all-nighter and work 16 hours tomorrow, I just need to hydrate.

Now: despite slowly adjusting my sleep schedule over the course of several days in advance of this trip, I fear that resetting my circadian rhythm to Tokyo time has been my demise. Farewell 💔

Fun fact: apparently, the common houseplant Scindapsus can (and will!) attempt to root in your drywall if given half a chance 😭

They might be exposed to science that hasn't been pre-approved by the administration

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

While all of the images from the hands off protests are incredible, I keep going back and looking at the crowds in small rural towns across America.
There are so many blue dots in those red seas, and witnessing them come together and organize is giving me a lot of hope.

A black and tan dog is wearing pink sunglasses. His tongue can be seen poking out of the side of his mouth.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

Hands Off! Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the stre...

Valid, but also... I need to feel some kind of hope. It sucks to have the tiny ember of "oh hey, someone in power is DOING something! We're being heard!" crushed by a "doesn't matter, you're going to be betrayed and disappointed AGAIN." Like...are we allowed to feel a good emotion about anything?

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

A ridiculous looking cat with fangs that prominently overhang its bottom lip stares at the camera while playing on a carpetes cat tree.

The small joy of a cat who has lost control of his single functioning braincell.

D.E.I.
The military
Obama

NOT RESPONSIBLE: (ignore any evidence)

Elon Musk, who pushed out the FAA director coz he raised safety concerns about SoaceX flights

Care about something. Anything.

I know that access to sensible family planning has become a political minefield these days, but jesus christ

This is not normal, or natural, or inevitable. youtu.be/ZfBkw0j-QIs?...

Not to alarm you, but it's only been one week.

Genuinely the funniest thing to happen so far this year.

Things that drive me into a blind rage that really shouldn’t 🧵
- Belt loop caught on door handle. How dare you compromise my physical autonomy - how dare you unlawfully detain me; I will burn this house down. Unhand me.

The Goosebumps props department and I shop at the same places, apparently.
