Watching Star Trek DS9 right now and I’ve realized:

The defiant totally looks like a dapper weevil. The dominion flies around in purple stink bugs. Both are adorable.

WTF #maine? We do NOT need a Bush of any kind.

What is going on here? Just stop. Stop it.

At his campaign launch in Belfast, Bush referred to himself as “a disrupter” and promised to bring economic development to the state by reducing taxes and clearing regulations for more housing development:

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 21h

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

I’m not saying this isn’t a great result or a turnaround. But we have to face facts that fascism is heart-breaking still very popular.. as evidenced by the nearly even split.

I don’t know about that… It’s nearly split evenly.

Sadly, it still seems quite popular with a too large portion of the population.

Indeed. The American dipper (Cinclus mexicanus) is a bit less fancy than this beauty but I’m sure equally awesome.

Republican voters have always supported his cruelty because they think they’re special, they’re immune. Stupid, I know.

Protest voters who handed him our country and our future? They’re next level narcissists.

America really needs better education, parenting and acceptance of reality over fantasy.

A snide comment prompted some reflection and writing from me on the blog. Many thanks to everyone who responded initially, and I hope this reassures many more that nobody can 'age out' of #goth!

#gothicstyle #ageing #subculture #gothsubculture #goths

Goth: The Oldest Youth Subculture

What I want to speak to is this concept of punishing those who dare to age – particularly in the goth scene. A scene that has, since existence, actually tried hard to venerate its veterans.

I have always loved the buzzard moniker!

I can’t imagine common names being standardized… and that seems pretty pointless anyway when there’s already standard sci names.

I love seeing new-to-me birds on bsky but I often have to google to find a scientific name so I know what one actually is!
