And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

The United Nations Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture's statement demonstrates that the Waikeria and Paremoremo megaprisons must close, as they result in miscarriages of justice and human rights violations against Māori and youth. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/10/u...

“Willis, Corrections Minister Mark Mitchell and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon all backed the current policy approach, regardless of the fiscal impacts.”

This government goes to such great lengths to cut off its nose in order to spite its face.

Brains really do be like.

Like… I wonder if fashion will cycle back around to tight trousers, skinny jeans & the like before I die.

I swear, if NCT127 don’t make 2027 THE BIGGEST DEAL & re-release all their music without You Know Who, imma throw some hands.

It’s too perfect to ignore.

I propose making all of January 2027 a blatant celebration of All Things Ilichil.

All in favour…?
(SM could Never, but a kid’s gotta dream 😅)

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator

Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

😑
All of these questions don’t allow the correct answers, either.

That’s a big ol’

Despite the international success of @seananmcguire.bsky.social’s October Daye series, in which Muir Woods plays a HUGE role

The “Fiction” section of the Muir Woods Wikipedia page has Zero Mention of it 🙀😭

It does, however, include a single scene from a Hitchcock film.😑

I love this. I love how stylish Seanan is, how wonderfully supportive her fans are, & how excited we all are to see these dresses all together.

The chances of you showing up to the Hugos with a swan tucked under your arm like the fanciest of bags is nonzero

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

#Secret_Number member 민씨 (Minshi) is DANGEROUSLY emaciated. #K-pop is terrible about weight in the first place but holy heck that young lady needs medical intervention.

Titanic.
At a whole 7 years of age.

Kate Winslet being my forever favourite actress clearly has NOTHING to do with this.

While correct, does this actually add anything meaningful to the discourse?

I went through NCEA; first cohort to go all the way through high school with it; technically the 5th cohort to finish high school with it.
It was heinously broken at that point. We knew how it was SUPPOSED to work… but it did Not.

Everything about the fascistic white supremacist virulence that's overrunning the US is a return to tradition, not a departure from it. White supremacist despotism is quintessentially US. That's why this country inspired Hitler. A new society won't be gained by clinging to nostalgic lies and myths.

the history of the united states is of consistently *almost* meeting moments of crisis with transformative change, before rapidly backpedaling at the last second. reconstruction was sabotaged, the new deal didn't go far enough, and racial integration was never finished. ours is a history of failure.

Hmmmm.
Your fixed-term job… versus people’s lives. Truly a tough spot to be in.

The Orange County Mayor, which encompasses Orlando, signed an agreement to cooperate with ICE as he, along with the entire board of county commissioners, were threatened with removal from office if they didn't.

They should've forced DeSantis to do it and not take the cowardly way out.

Y’all got ANY idea how fucking difficult it is to train yourself not to force your eyeballs to do things they can’t actually do?

“They’re still your parents”
“Parents are always worried about their children”
“Your parents want what’s best for you”

It’s twenty twenty-fucking-five.
Boot that bullshit narrative into the bin where it belongs.
Normalise cutting off toxic relatives.
