Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.

This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.

The vote failed big, 19/31.

The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

this was a really powerful approach to questioning noem—bringing the actual people impacted by her reign of terror. from her perch it's easy to see these cases as abstractions but she needs to be confronted with them at every turn.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

🪲 Figeater beetle, Cotinis mutabilis, for #ArtAdventCalendar today. One of these chunky guys nearly took me out at the knees in San Diego! I love to see big insects like these.

A bit inconvenient for potential alien life forms if they’re constantly being incinerated by their own suns
For the first time, astronomers have detected a coronal mass ejection from a star other than our Sun, and it was a big one – powerful enough to strip the atmosphere from nearby planets. That's bad news for the search for extraterrestrial life. Here's why: physicsworld.com/a/astronomer... 🧪⚛️🔭

This is exactly analogous to thee centre-right "don't mention climate" idea that has taken hold in climate comms since 2022.

As @doctorvive.bsky.social pointed out: the right constantly talks about climate change. They're now setting the entire frame and agenda.
we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Tinsel is also terrible for wildlife once you dispose of the tree!

Other holiday dangers for cats:

Lillies (do not even bring them in your home!)
Poinsettias
Essential Oils (Lavender and others)
Grapes/Raisins
Garlic & Onions
Chocolate
Seasonal reminder that ribbon and tinsel can be DEADLY for cats. Please keep ribbon stored safely and tinsel out of your home completely. ⚠️ hhvh.net/2018/01/13/w...

There are some lil guys looking for homes! These faux stone figures were hand sculpted, cast in urethane and then finished to have the look and feel of mossy stone. Each is unique! Which fella are you gonna get?

Also: FL being both the abbreviation for Fallen London and the US state of Florida leads to Hilarious Misunderstandings.

Last personal comm of the year for a very talented Fallen London fanwriter! I had a blast figuring out the worst assembled skeleton in the world. To the proprietors credit, he lacks personal experience with the anatomy

Day 10 #artAdventCalendar A piece for Manufactured Ecosystems about the future of pollination about who decides what gets pollinated if humans and our devices are the only pollinators. 🧪🐡

The definition of “weed” is usually pretty arbitrary and usually all sorts of native plants get caught up in 🧵

RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk.

The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis.

This guy has got to go.
