i apologize for the necessity of this post, but:

i have no income. my income is zero dollars. i live entirely off other people.

i cannot donate to anyone for any reason. following me just to ask is futile and wastes everyone's time & energy.

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

I love when people discover that everything they've ever eaten is just brassica wearing a funny mustache disguise

i'm sorry WHAT

Wikipedia screenshot

Brassica oleracea, also known as wild cabbage in its uncultivated form, is a plant of the family Brassicaceae. The species originated from feral populations of related plants in the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was most likely first cultivated. It has many common cultivars used as vegetables, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, romanesco, kale, Brussels sprout, collard, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan.

Important to note:

“You won’t find WWII era ads or recruitment posters encouraging black women to enter the factories, government offices, or ship yards, but approximately 600,000 African-American women did just that.”

never gonna forgive these dudes that their arrogance and bigotries and other... habits... poisoned a movement that could've instead developed into a a humanist counterweight to christian nationalism. and instead these fuckers JOINED the christian nationalists.

it’s very clear these dudes think any danger to them would be from people; that they would be able to tech or money their way out of any environmental problem

jadehawk "FREE ŁINK" @jadehawk.bsky.social · 7h

the "deportations" aren't about deportation. the suffering has always been the point.

Julie DiCaro @juliedicaro.bsky.social · 13h

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

and that includes me when i express confusion about why people say things to me that contribute and explain nothing. like your comment for example.

jadehawk "FREE ŁINK" @jadehawk.bsky.social · 13h

do you understand how that doesn't explain anything about why/how the whistles work

jadehawk "FREE ŁINK" @jadehawk.bsky.social · 13h

Mali has announced that US nationals visiting the West African country will be required to post a bond of up to $10,000 (£7,500) for business and tourist visas, in response to a similar requirement the Trump administration has imposed on its citizens.
