Roundcat keeps headbutting and licking my glucose monitor to let me know he is unhappy with the supposed lateness of his dinner. He started at 4:50, easily 40 minutes too early.

Reminder to boycott @cbsnews.com and Paramount Plus. Bari Weiss is a transphobic anti-Black Islamophobic racist who has repeatedly accused Palestinians of faking genocide, said Islam is at war with the west, platformed and spread lies that trans people are a social contagion,

Bari Weiss Named CBS News Editor-In-Chief, Solidifying Network's Rightward Shift

The network will also acquire her publication, The Free Press, for a hefty sum.

Opened the app to post a vulture, saw someone accusing people of being ableist against AI. Goodnight all, I absolutely cannot with that asshattery. #birds #vultures

A black vulture looking over his shoulder as if to say “what did that person just say? Ableist against AI? Really?”

Perhaps you need some fall vibes? #EastCoastKin #photography

Pumpkins and potted plants on a wooden shelf at a farm stand.

Shabbat shalom. It’s finally cold enough that I can go hide under an actual quilt for the rest of the night, and I shall. Roundcat is already on the pillows waiting for me.

Shabbat candles and a bunch of bric-a-brac on with the words “Shabbat shalom, free Palestine” written above.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America.

On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that.

MAGA can't expand its base — and Christian music tells us why

The songs from Charlie Kirk's memorial exposed a serious problem

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear

Josh Busby @busbyj2.bsky.social · 12d

This. This administration is even worse than any of us thought possible. Who had destroy NIH, CDC, USAID, EPA, scientific research all at the same time on their bingo card?

Jonathan V. Last @jvl.bsky.social · 13d

My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration.

It's very strange for me to realize I wasn't pessimistic enough.

Here are some pumpkins to look at instead of The Horrors. #EastCoastKin #photography

Three small orange pumpkins, a white pumpkin, a large dark orange pumpkin with a smaller orange pumpkin on top of it, all arranged on a rusty metal shelf.
