The pitts ability to make the characters so messy and human and have consequences for their actions its so beautiful to me

If anyone is looking for a Data Analyst who is sticking to her morals and refusing to use GenAI to do her work, please hire me 🫠

A reminder that Israel has broken the Gaza ceasefire hundreds of times with impunity and without consequence. And now they breach this ceasefire.

Man vs bee except it's me holding my cat like a football in one hand while trying to let the bee that got into my kitchen outside with the other

Let's not mimic the Trump administration by talking as if this ceasefire is a victory. We cannot ignore what's continuing to happen in Lebanon. ⬇️🧵

I just wish I didn't need to have a full time job so I could write all the gay books

Another city in the STL region (Festus) voted out all the city council members who tried to put an AI data center in their town!!

Distracted Boyfriend meme: A man in a plaid blue shirt with the text "me" avoids looking at a woman with brown hair and a blue top with the text "continue writing WIP" and instead turns to look at a woman in a red top that says "start a completely new story"

Mood today:

The US is an incomparable threat to the future of the planet. This empire cannot stand and continue to freely destroy populations, countries, and societies as it pleases.

Thank you for this reminder, I also just called mine

I haven't! I'll have to read that next!

Her husband is a double amputee in ICE prison. She confronted Kristi Noem over its cruel conditions: ‘I have a fire inside’ Mildred Danis-Taylor dropped everything to advocate for the release of her husband, Rodney Taylor. A brutal year of legal and health challenges led her to Capitol Hill

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months.

Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs.

Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food.

Placed in solitary.

Denied medical accommodations.

They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Was it worth it? Also yes.

Brought to you by me freaking out because my cat was trying to befriend a brown recluse

Attention to the brown recluse spiders in my house: you can stay here ONLY if you stay hidden from me!!! I will have to kill you if I see you and I'm sorry for that but you literally have necrotic venom

2026 is on track to be one of the deadliest years in ICE custody in decades as I discussed with my dear friend @velshi.com. 14 deaths so far this year alone. @austinkocher.com and @lataco.bsky.social have done extraordinarily work documenting this. follow them.
