Appropriate.

Columbus was also a rapist, murderer, and thief.

Trump issues a Columbus Day proclamation to 'reclaim' the explorer's legacy

President Trump said "left-wing radicals" have tried to tarnish Columbus' legacy, and the proclamation is a way to preserve it. Some experts say it's a way to erase the heritage of Native Americans.

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media?

Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals?

h/t @juddlegum.bsky.social

UPDATE: Lawsuit alleges Prime Day is a fraud

The federal class action lawsuit has been ignored by major media outlets, which continue to promote Prime Day deals.

Scam calls always spike in the fall. Remember, legitimate callers won't:

-Threaten to report you to law enforcement
-Get defensive about the call's legitimacy
-Hang up when you ask for a supervisor
-Ask for your SSN

If you EVER don't like the vibe, just bail. If it's real, they'll call back.

my full piece for the 2025 Object Head Zine 🏴‍☠️ || #art

A very colorful illustration featuring two characters with objects for heads. One is a pirate with an anchor for a head and lots of seaweed hair under her big blue captain's hat. The other is a mermaid with a pearl for a head, with a shimmering white body and long purple hair. The pirate stands atop an open, overflowing treasure chest and brandishes a sword in the air. The mermaid is wrapped around her leg like an old pulp novel cover. There is some text in the orange and blue background that reads: YO HO HO.

I live in Moscow, #Idaho & we’ve been boycotting from the beginning by careful sourcing & avoiding ALL mushrooms from Sunnyside, WA. It’s been a bit inconvenient but possible even here!

After decades serving at a tavern, 60-year old Sana decides to go on her first quest: see a unicorn in real life. It’s a journey for adventurers willing to face monsters, pirates, and heroic trials, and Sana is just an NPC that can’t save anyone - but maybe she can save her dream.

Oh MTG. You reeeallly should have read the Big Ugly Bill before you voted for it. That flapping sound is the chickens coming home to roost.

Let’s hope your anger at your family’s experience sparks some empathy. Or that you kick up a hell of a fuss to keep premiums from rising for all of us.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with the GOP on Obamacare, calling to avoid premium hikes

Greene said she's "not a fan" of Obamacare but complained that her "own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE" if Congress ignores the issue.
