A large grey cat kinda spilling out of a wicker cat bed resting his chin on the edge of the bed. He looks comfy and sleepy.

I am so jealous of this oblivious pile of fluff.

I'm so sad I had to miss it and sell my tickets due to health stuff 😭😭😭

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

every day i gotta remind myself that when Christ said to feed the hungry, he wasn't talking about the algorithm.

typical corrupt science

This is bleak reading

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

you know who made billions of dollars off your childhood and didn’t turn out to be a piece of shit?

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

It’s ONLY the Princess Diana Beanie Baby

People wonder about my serene smile in the face of imminent economic collapse and the reason is quite simple

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

I probably shouldn't be surprised anymore after people defended an obvious Nazi salute as not being a Nazi salute at all.

What if history just didn't repeat itself, for once?

Photograph of a warehouse in Kinshasa where unboxed tuberculosis medications are going undistributed due to the stop work order by the Trump Administration.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

February: I'm the shortest month.

right now really feels like starting a lot of sentences and not knowing how to finish them

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.

I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

“The effect may be considerable in a few centuries” is a really remarkable sentence here…

We’re all on the same page that Ariel would be super into feet, right?

I’m always looking for things that explain a lot but that people have a hard time remembering.

Examples: Air is stuff. Pee comes from blood. All land vertebrates have a single common ancestor. Venus is bright enough to cast visible shadows. Clouds are heavy. Bones are alive.

Any others you know?

this is funny as-is but imo way funnier when you see his lawyer

Americans Spend More Years Sick Than Rest of World, Study Finds Even as Americans live longer, they spend more of their years in poor health than any other country, a new study shows.

Yes but to be fair we also spend fewer years alive.
