The bone buddies are still having a blast outside, celebrating the fact that they're skeletons.

Here's a lovely pic of five bone buddies (small plastic skeletons). One is standing on their head, one is doing the splits with their arms up, one is dangling by their legs from an outdoor chair, one is climbing the back of the chair, and one is waving while sitting on the chair.

Almost every day someone tries to catch me in a gotcha by asking if I want more of my tax dollars to go towards disabled & homeless people

Yes I do

It’s often those of us who have the least who give the most

The rich hoard their wealth whereas many struggling folks will give you their last dollar

The GOP budget framework is more incendiary than a cybertruck & will soon be even more reviled.
The backlash to Felon Trump's presidency has begun, but this unimaginably cruel budget is how we're going to kick it into overdrive.
Protest! Fight back!

Let's show up. Let's organize. Let's win.

The entire Republican Party strategy for achieving what are comprehensively & wildly unpopular policy objectives now consists entirely of bypassing Article I of the Constitution through wildly illegal abuses of both Article II and Article III.

vibes are off. have a Samoyed

A cream-colored, pink-nosed Samoyed dog stands on grass and dirt mostly covered with yellow and brown leaves. A long, stout, straight stick is between the dog’s jaws from somewhere off-camera. There’s some visible tongue. The dog appears to be concentrating very hard on chomping.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The fantastic @thecheesenone.bsky.social drew my beloved OC Yo Adley and look how cool they look!!! 😍💕 I'm obsessed with the cyberpunk wear, the whimsy details and the punk bunnies hsdjakshk ❤️❤️ *EXPLODES*

It's a digital drawing of the OC Yo Adley. A brown-redish haired character is winking towards the viewer. He is wearing a sexy cyberpunk inspired out it red, magenta, black and pink. In one of his hands is a crowbar in silver-red. The background has silhouettes of bunnies with spiky collars and piercings.

Natalie's Inner Universe series is a journey into a world where sailships roam between planets and floating cities, and people's lives are turmoil and grief.

With an emphasis on characters and mental health, it's a heavy but fun and gripping adventure. #BookSky

The new book is out! Link below!!

A screenshot from Amazon that features the three covers of the first trilogy from Natalie Kelda's Inner Universe series, River in the Galaxy, Outer Universe, and Quarantine Thirteen.

The beautiful cover of the new book in the series, Verselva Blues by Natalie Kelda featuring a scene as if we're looking up from between a forest at night at the sky that is green with stars and galaxies shining bright. There is a blue bird-creature flying above.
