I love the look, but that foreground chair is making me anxious with how close it is to the edge.

I'm wondering why the theories that ADHD is the natural human state of mind based upon our lack of defensive means and having to survive with bears, lions, and alligators don't get more noise.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Congress better hurry up and settle the shutdown before everyone figures out they’re nonessential personnel.

This is Indigenous People’s Day. Columbus never made it to the USA. He landed in Nassau. He enslaved the natives, drove them to death, and brought slaves in to replace them. All for greed & lust. Indigenous were great stewards of this land & lived in harmony. We should strive to be more like them.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Do not steal children from families!
ICE is a gang. ICE is Trump’s secret police to rid the world of BIPOC people from the USA. The LGBTIA+ and disabled will be next. #rebel

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

I think it should be clear at this point that like the US federal government has collapsed.

There are no branches. There are no rules.

There is just one man and his truth social posts.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

My same thinking. In reality, they'd recognize kind and probably just snuggle. Vampurr's concern would be, could the elder Bunnicula take over the pack. But I think bunnicula is just too chill for that.

Yes. @tyrotcm.bsky.social comment is how most autistic folks feel. This does not translate across all disabled groups. And where it is prevalent, like the Deaf, it still isn’t as consistent as the autistic community.

At first launch of Figma sites it was. I thought they improved it, not like they’d update the site.
