Post you from a different era

I think I was 18 or 19, at a college ball, many many lifetimes ago, and completely different but just the same

A much younger me, with a short blonde bob and pink fringe, a lip piercing and a nose piercing I no longer have, wearing a diy tape measure bow in my hair and a pink floral dress and a pink cardigan with brown polka dots and a sparkly brooch and large cocktail ring, and holding a cigarette in a long holder

Forbes isn't even saying we need more immigrants because she's a bleeding heart leftie, it's purely because the economy needs them. Still too much for the BBC though

Fucking BBC reporter reading the headline "the SNP deputy leader says they want MORE immigration??!" as if they've said they want to move Scotland to the moon rather than reiterated their long-time stance on immigration

I hate how everything is like that exponentially these days - tell anyone who doesn't already know it the truth about anything and you sound deranged and like a crank

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’

Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

ESPECIALLY when they often won't tell you the address of the job itself at application, a thing that unlike yours you actually need to know! to know whether to apply in the first place? Oh it's in [city] don't worry about it - cool just as well we have such widespread and affordable public transport

Tony Kiernan @anthonyqkiernan.bsky.social · 19h

I always wonder why job applications ask for more than a name and contact email/number. You’ll get my home address when you give me the job. Just had one really get into the realm of looking like they were identity farming. You do not need my NI number to interview me

Ruby is in a hell of a situation with housing caused by a violent room mate (details in the thread here). Any help would be much appreciated.

if anyone can offer some pro-bono legal resources in pdx for navigating this, I’d greatly appreciate it, and I’m in dire need of a place to stay or money for a hotel room or something

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 13h

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.
