California, we’re less than two weeks away from the November 4th special election—and Americans are counting on us to turn out.

Voting YES on Prop 50 is the best way we can stand up to Donald Trump and put a check on his abuse of power. Return your ballot today! www.sos.ca.gov/elections/up...

Day 22, GOAT. The most iconic (if not the greatest phage of all time) in terms of looks are myovirus like phages. They look like a lunar lander and are instantly recognisable as a virus. #Drawtober #SciArt #PhageSky

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Earlier on Canal Street, as agents attempted to disperse, one who I recognize from the courts pulled out a taser and threatened protester with it. @thecity.nyc

As an independent artist, can confirm. I spend a lot of time doing all the pesky business things, possibly more than actually making art.
I love art, it's my soul. But the rest is my website, conventions, and well, this right here for example! Talking about it. It's all connected

Sylessae @sylessae.bsky.social · 2d

being an independent artist is so easily romanticized.

it's worth every second, but it's more than just making art all day. be prepared to learn business skills as well, which can often mean learning marketing, teaching, communication and financial skills.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

When someone seeks to bring me down (had a bit of a rough time on twitter today) I have a strong urge to channel the grimness & angst into something positive. So, here’s a photo I took of some things I grew-really hope it makes your brain feel good🌿

A collection of flowering plants I grew placed on a black enamel background to create a gentle colour gradation.

Apparently, there's some sort of fill version coming out soon...or maybe it already has? I'm not sure if it's still in trials or not, but one of the nurses told me about it.

I had to do two different versions of the drink, the less fluid one was much easier than the gallon jug for mixing the powder and water. During my Cancer adventure, I had to do three preps within six months.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Trump’s attempt to deploy the National Guard in Chicago is a gross overreach of power - our military should not be used as a political weapon to provoke fear and disorder in our communities.

I’m standing with 24 state AGs and governors urging the Supreme Court to block this unlawful effort.

The White House heard the complaints

Dismissed them as “manufactured outrage”

And kept demolishing the East Wing on Tuesday

White House continues East Wing demolition amid cries of Trump overreach

More of the structure was torn down Tuesday to make way for President Donald Trump’s planned ballroom, despite complaints about the project’s lack of transparency,

A reminder all: GO TO JURY DUTY WHEN YOU ARE SUMMONED

Yes it is disruptive of schedules but these days, juries need you

Dave Jamieson @jamieson.bsky.social · 7d

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:
