The reason why I'm so angry has a lot to do with the lives that will be lost — people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of Senate Democrats folding on health care. It also has a lot to do with the suffering that was endured — people were struggling to get by without food assistance. 🧵

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

If you know anyone who is looking for a companion, let me know! Boosts are appreciated.

Valve isn't nice or your friend, its just that no one has a gun to their head demanding they meet some made up growth goal every year or else. So they just do what works and makes money with as little risk as possible. Like a normal fucking business.

If only companies put as much money into developing useful CAT tools as they put into slop machines, maybe we could get programs that actually help with translation productivity and quality.

The conservative council just had to get in one last big fuck you to Seattleites before they lose their super majority and mayor in November
Seattle is poised to significantly expand police surveillance after the city council passed two ordinances 7-2 allowing new CCTV cameras throughout the city to aid crime investigations. Advocates have warned of the potential of ICE to covertly access footage to target immigrants.
