Happy Asexual Awareness Week! 💜

WE WON!!!! FUCK YOU, FASCISTS!!!!!

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Magnificent Peach! 🤩🥰💙🧡🤍🖤 (my son’s cat) #caturday #catsofbluesky

#earlyvote morning update 10/24: at least 25 million people have voted in the 2026 general election 🥳 election.lab.ufl.edu/early-vote/2...

Vote early if you can!

Stumbled across some amanita muscaria in the PNW fall light, amazing sight (and the slugs hadn’t even nibbled them yet!) #fungifriday

Is she not so, so good? *and* beautiful? 🥹🖤 #DogsofBluesky

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt

A short visit to check on my elderly parents meant a boost of spring flowers and weather South African-style #bloomscrolling

This is disgusting and let's all agree to not watch it, okay?

Productivity as an adult is just an endless process of applying new psychological tricks and operant conditioning to yourself until an acceptable number of tasks are completed.

I found a collection of tiny hagstones my daughters collected 15 yrs ago & realised most of them are also faces. Focussing on small good things is one way I hack my brain on days when depression’s winning.These tiny horrified faces (they saw last night’s Traitors👀) pinged good dopamine in my brain…😮

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

Had the most satisfying dream of straight up kicking out my abusive ex without needing to soften my words or placate him, is therapy finally getting through to my subconscious?

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?

If you are a dem willing to throw trans people under the bus BEFORE THE PRIMARIES EVEN HAPPEN, you are NOT an ally, you are NOT a good person, you are a walking talking self interest and unwelcome here. LGBTQIA+ with the T. Emphatically. Forever.

Welp I ate a food and moved my body and pet a cat *and* a dog, and now to bed. Tomorrow is a new day, and I will do hopeful things in it

The updated COVID/histamine link thread because people keep tagging me in to explain it and I keep intending to update the post from 2023 (synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html) and just not having the capacity because of my own health shit so here is a thread I can pin

PSA: new Covid boosters have dropped, if you’re eligible go get yours (and flu also) 💪🏼💉

To those who had a really, really hard day of being a human and didn’t say anything… Thank you for staying 💚 I’m so happy you survived the day. You are worthy of nice days. See you tomorrow? ✨

Two things I did today to tend my mental health

Pulled a bunch of hydrangeas from the flower press, in a rather awful week the splash of color is a highlight

i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected

Some good news here in the PNW!

The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends. In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five. In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President. You're being manipulated. Please stop.

Our little cat tree by the front door has a hole in the middle level, and apparently Opal has decided to let it all hang out this morning.

We talk a lot about the importance of voting but in doing so, we romanticize it, and I've come to believe that's a mistake. It's not romantic, it's not glorious, it's not an expression of your ideals or your identity. It's selecting the best outcome for the most people. That's all it is. Do that.

Just in time for the 2026-2027 vaccines, a new review shows that COVID19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalization across all age groups, including kids. Pregnant women were also protected, as were their babies. Don’t forget to schedule your vaccination!

I grew stuff in my garden, and even harvested it… and now I just cooked a thing with the stuff instead of leaving it to rot in the bottom of the fridge?? 😲
