I bought a new hair gel (Miss Jessie’s) and it smelled powerfully like someone else’s grandma. I hoped it would fade, but all day I kept getting whiffs of “bathroom spray” and considering I went to the doctor today I wondered if there was a hospital scent that clung. It’s my HAIR. 💀 Returned!

This is how public lands get handed over to industry, locked away into private playgrounds for billionaires, and permanently stolen from the American People.

A new leak reveals just how far Trump is going to decimate the National Park Service.
The playbook goes like this: crush morale, force rangers to quit, hollow out the agency and let parks fall into disrepair. Then they'll call parks “mismanaged” and invite private interests in to pillage them.

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

Flowers at Henderson Canyon Rd Wildflower Area are still looking great (see from this morning below). However, many from the fall crop of desert sunflowers have peaked. Recent rains are producing a more recent crop of desert sunflowers in this same area. (Photos: Sicco Rood).

In her many travels, Nym visits an ancient graveyard where her people and their allies once faced off with the enormous cats of the Venandi Empire. Lifetimes later, the land is shared and tribute is paid for those lives lost in the war. Their spirits adversaries in life, and brothers in death.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

French romance poem
Guillaume de Palerne[1][2] or in modern spelling Palerme ("William of Palerne" or "Palermo") is a French romance poem, later translated into Middle English where it is also known as William and the Werewolf.[3] The French verse romance is thought to have been composed anywhere from the late 12th to late 13th century (cf. § Dating).[4] The verse version in French survives in a single 13th century manuscript (l'Arsenal 6565 olim 178[5][6]).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pvpmts6cjce46y76iphrlj3w/bafkreigfynzkwaefrfnubpfvkfdnk3l4vfp4es45257rsuzcisvhl6uocy@jpeg)

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.
I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Talking about growing up religious with a friend and it's one of those things that when I said it out loud for the first time recently it just made me laugh. Divination is against the "rules", so tarot cards are "no", ouija boards are absofuckinglutely NOT, but I'd "divine" with coin flips.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
