You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

It’s going to be a shitshow, but I’ll take it.

My big excitement for the month: a new 5 gal. #aquarium! I’m trying the #FatherFish method, so there’s dirt & whatnot under the sand & all the plants are real.

Running a filter for now, hoping it will clear the haze faster (silly me, I thought buying washed sand would prevent that).
A five gallon cube-shaped aquarium with black sand and very sparse plants and decorations and cloudy water. There’s a small pothos plant on top. It looks like it’s glowing blue. A closeup of a cloudy aquarium with an abstract sculpture and a blue marble painted like the earth sitting in black substrate sand. The cloudy water looks like it’s glowing blue.

For yall who still are not getting it.. the Department of Education said today that nursing is not a "professional career." Why? To exclude graduate nursing programs from federal loans.... In the midst of a nursing shortage, when women and minorities comprise most of the profession. Are you catching on yet??!!!!

It takes a fraction of one day, less than once a year, to vote. Voting doesn’t fix systemic problems, but it can prevent harm.

Please do both. If you believe in people, and care about people, please do both.
The “which button to push” meme, but the hand is making a Shaka, with the pinky on one button and the thumb on the other. One button reads: “The system is corrupt and needs revolutionary change.” The second button reads: “Voting because it still makes a difference who's in power.” In the second panel, instead of looking scared and sweaty, the character smirks at the viewer and gives a thumbs up.

I thought I was being very clever doing some holiday shopping a little early, but now I am faced with the challenge of keeping a secret for almost two months.

Y’all, I don’t know if I’ll make it.

A photo of Hitler and some other Nazis doing their salute together, below the following text: “The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.” Robert Reich

Someone! Quick! Tell the Tangelo Toddler that China is embarrassing us.

A screenshot from The Economist: “The scale of the renewables revolution in China is almost too vast for the human mind to grasp. By the end of last year, the country had installed 887 gigawatts of solar-power capacity-close to double Europe's and America's combined total. The 22m tonnes of steel used to build new wind turbines and solar panels in 2024 would have been enough to build a Golden Gate Bridge on every working day of every week that year. China generated 1,826 terawatt-hours of wind and solar electricity in 2024, five times more than the energy contained in all 600 of its nuclear weapons.”

Someone explain to me, like I’m five, why the US turning a healthy person into a vegetable in custody, before deporting him to his death, is any less deserving of wall-to-wall media coverage than when North Korea did the same to one of ours? Because this is the first I’ve heard about this…
Screenshot: A NY Times headline about Otto Warmbier, a U.S. citizen detained in North Korea and returned home a year later, in a vegetative state. Screenshot: A Guardian headline about Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican man who was detained by ICE in the US, and eventually returned to Costa Rica in a vegetative state.

Bless his heart, he’s watching this thread like a sad little hawk.
Extremely diligent troll jumps at the few minutes’ gap between my first comment and when I actually got around to blocking him.

I do not know if it was my quote post, or my direct reply that got me blocked. But since you can’t see my reply there anymore, I’ll put it here too.
A screenshot of my reply to the CTO of Bluesky’s spectacular misreading of the renown Torment Nexus tweet. You won’t see it in his replies, because he blocked me for either this or my quote tweet: “Or it could be about tech companies' complicity with the fascist surveillance state and all-consuming love of destroying our personal privacy rights for money, but I'm just spitballing here.”

Ooh. The CTO of Bluesky blocked me?? 😂 Here's that missing post:
A screenshot of Paul Frazee, CTO of Bluesky, saying: "'Torment Nexus' comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict" The tweet referenced, by @AlexBlechman, reads: "Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus" Mr. Frazee's post had 174 likes and 509 quotes at the time of the screenshot.

I about fell over yesterday when I ordered this weirdo to "drop it" and she ACTUALLY SPAT OUT the onion piece she'd grabbed off the floor.

I'm now unsure if she's really a dog at all. Anyone know how I would determine if she's a human suffering a shapeshifting curse?
A golden malinois mix dog is curled up behind a person in an oversized chair. The photo was taken from above the persons head, looking down at the dog, who has her head resting on the person's shoulder blade, nose pointed skyward.

Also this part. Maybe listen to your voters more than your corporate consultants…
A bsky post from Preeti Chhibber (@runwithskizzers.bsky.social) sharing a quote from Zohran Mamdani: "Again and again we were told the only way to beat the Republican Party was to become the Republican Party [..] and the choice that we made was to stop listening to those experts and to start listening to you" Mamdani is so good at this Posted: October 26, 2025 at 4:40 PM

I traced their Portland Frog Brigade sign, but had to put my own twist on it. 😂
