Folks who want to ask for donations need to read my profile. I'm a retired, disabled woman who works hard just to make ends meet. It hurts me to have to say no, and I won't risk making my followers feel bad that they have to say no.

Donation Requests = Automatic BLOCK.

How's your foot doing, @jbf1755.bsky.social?

I haven't had that happen, and I keep everything on my email provider's server, so I lose something by mistake locally. I have forgotten to back up my settings, and when I do that, I have to rebuild my beaucoup filters, which always takes way too many days.

No, Thunderbird. I know it kind of sucks, but it took me forever to get my filters recreated, and I really don't want to do that with a new app.

I love @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social's comedy. Check out this short about Bad Bunny doing the Super Bowl, because the "What's next?" is hilarious, especially the very last one in this clip. #comedy #shorts

That is so adorable. Chuck does something similar, but I love how the kitty said, "Come on, mum. I need some petting."

It's officially autumn. After I killed the soda I had with dinner, I made myself a cuppa. Because it's that cool. And now I may go make a second cuppa, just because I can, but this one will be decaf.

i plainly reported that kamala was losing favor with voters she needed to prevent us from plummeting straight into fascism, and that she needed to pivot back to them instead of dnc donors, and i got my shit kicked in by dems for it. now i’m at risk of serious harm by fascists for doing journalism.

Sorry, but not on that platform. Unless they've kicked the Nazis out, and I missed it because I have a filter on the platform name.

Damn, tonight's a busy night. First, there was the Blues & BBQ Fest; now there's a ballgame, NOLA election results coming in, and a grocery order is out for delivery. At least I finally got my desktop email app up to date again. I need to stop firing it up only once a week.

WWOZ has been streaming (most of?) the sets they broadcast from the Blues & BBQ Fest over on YouTube, which means you can go hit their channel and see these great bands, including Devon Allman’s Blues Summit, which is on NOW. #MusicSky #NOLA

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.
A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC
News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

If y'all wanted to go into your evening smiling: some dude none of us have ever met has a wheelchair that works now. The broken one has been donated to the same shop I got the new one from, so they're gonna repair that and give it away.

Mutual aid is a force multiplier.

Please stop setting `width: 100vw` on the `body`.

It's unnecessary. By default, the `body` stretches horizontally as much as necessary.

It's problematic. Setting `width: 100vw` on it can cause overflow even if you remove the default `margin`... because the page may have a scrollbar.

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 13h

There's probably some historical precedent somewhere for ICE's strategy of arresting people's children for the sole purpose of drawing their parents out of hiding to come rescue them but I sure as fuck can't remember ever seeing anyone else do it

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Could you not with the “well aCkShUaLlY, we host other countries at U.S. bases”? There’s a reason people are angry.

Other nations don’t bankroll or shelter groups trying to kill Americans while posing as mediators.

Making people afraid to be affiliated with antifascism—making people afraid to be associated with groups and people that actively oppose fascism—is some bleak shit.

Can I just say, if you're a parent and your reaction to your kid coming out as trans is "omg omg no you can't do that" that's snowflakery of the highest order. People used to throw bricks at cops and you can't handle a pronoun? What's it gonna do, steal your generational wealth?

He finally got the rights back? That's fantastic! I missed that memo, but I know he's been trying to get the rights for forever.
