@sarahmackattack.bsky.social just in case nobody has sent this to you yet, a piece of squid-adjacent bollard art
Street Art - Ireland
A roadside vertical post aka bollard painted as a blue octopus with tentacles extending across the pavement, using the curb and cobbles to suggest movement. I love the use of multiple colors and the eyes & brows are wonderful!! 😁

@diedrichbader.bsky.social kind of a random question, but how often would you expect people confuse you and @deebradleybaker.bsky.social for your voice work credits?

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
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.

@rahaeli.bsky.social I found out a friend of my boss has POTS and I was telling them about Skratch Labs. She says she uses these for salt supplementation, but guessing they probably would be inefficient at your scale www.amazon.com/dp/B01IUVUMS...

Sure why not... I once ran into Jamie Hyneman in a Safeway. I cocked my head to look at him a bit puzzled, then nodded, and he nodded back.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

there are a few rules to microblogging: don't be loud and wrong about con law in Courtney Milan's mentions or ecologically sound gardening in T. Kingfisher s mentions and don't make Daniel pull out his medic card.
I used EKGs as a diagnostic tool for ten years on a New York City ambulance where we would diagnose arrhythmias with them, sometimes in seconds, that we would treat in the field, saving lives.
Have you ever had an EKG? The last one I had was 40 minutes.
