Last night a young man, likely in his teens, dressed all in black, followed me down my driveway to ask if I could spare some cologne.

One thing about spoilers is you can't stop people. They can't help themselves.

I heard the feds version of this reported on NPR and without what I would consider an appropriate level of cynicism so I recommend caution when evaluating what might have really happened when these unprofessional liars are involved.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Hopefully everyone in CA already knows this, but just in case someone doesn’t - there’s a special election happening right now. It’s REALLY important that you vote, and it’s REALLY important that you vote YES on Prop 50.

I called my senators. Trans rights are worth fighting for. Plus it took me under one minute for each senator.

emily moonlight @threnody.bsky.social · 29d

so: what do we need you to do? two things.

1.call your D/I senators. find contact info here: reps.fyi

what do we need you to say? try the call script below. adapt it; make it your own! there are bailout points written in, in case you get nervous. but please *call.* 🧵

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm one of Senator [THEIR NAME]'s constituents. House Republicans are trying to insert a multiple articles of anti-trans legislation, including a full transgender healthcare funding ban, into the F-Y '26 budget. I'm calling to tell the Senator to stand up for trans Americans and vote NO on any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown.

[you can stop here at 0:20 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

This care funding ban follows the map the G-O-P charted while attacking abortion. Democrats lost that fight by giving in to the G-O-P an inch at a time. Giving an inch at a time on trans care will devastate trans Americans and it'll get Democrats nothing in return but contempt.

[you can stop here at 0:40 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

Right now, the most popular Democrat in the U-S, [Zo-RAHN Mom-DA-nee], is campaigning on making trans healthcare cheaper and easier to access, and he's only got more good will because of it.

[you can stop here at 0:50 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

I'm asking the Senator to refuse to allow any anti-trans language including a healthcare ban in the F-Y '26 bill. Do not vote for any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. Standing with trans people is the right thing to do and it's politically smart. Voters and donors show up for Democrats who fight.

Monster High Question of the day: on insta bigbird1226 asks: “How different was making this show compared to other Mattel projects you helmed (mainly DC Superhero Girls and Polly Pocket)? Was there ever guidelines on how characters should be written?”

I had a dream that I was pitching on super powers that a character in my dream could have and how’s this one: the power to teleport the closest dangerous predator so that it’s within touching distance? 🤓
