Hey, with more sites cutting budgets or closing down outright, it's harder and harder to find places supporting excellent accessibility reporting. AND YET we have the incredible Grant doing the work right here!! Which you could support if you so chose!

Aligning your deeply unpopular regime explicitly with an out-dated and hated form of government while also threatening to withhold paychecks is, frankly, insane.

These people are afraid of mass organizing. Show up on October 18th, this Saturday, to your local No Kings protest!

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 1d

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

she has lived in the box all this time because she’s so precious to me. genuinely one of the greatest gifts i’ve ever received.

some context: i could never justify spending the $200 it was going for in 2020, which was shortly before the reissue brilliant colors version of the compact was announced at its regular price. Joe got the 2015 version for Christmas that year. i lost my mind!!!!

it only took me five years, but I finally took my 2015 proplica crystal star compact out of its box (and of course she lives next to my 2015 Noritake collaboration tea cup!!!! Gorgeous ribbon display stand from Pearlsin Arts 🥰

my current favorite hobby is telling every single nikki player that plays with me about this diabolical number of spiders and blowing their minds lol

Aiden Scary(berry)hun 🍓 @astraww.bsky.social · 6d

for as cutesy and hyperfeminine as a game like nikki is, it sure does have a disturbing amount of spiders.

i have to catch 270 spiders for these damn lanterns. and i have almost all of them in one day. and there are more that just exist in the game beyond that. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SPIDERS

Aiden Scary(berry)hun 🍓 @astraww.bsky.social · 8d

Unfortunately I have fallen into the gâcha game long-haul. For whatever reason I can’t purchase all my lanterns I want to place from the menu, I have to craft each of them. 121 of one type, and 90 of the other 🥴

I’ll see you in 5 years
