Kylo sat back in his chair, stuffed full but still craving more of the exquisite meal he had just devoured. He picked up the glass of chenin blanc and took a sip, grinning at Hux over the rim of the glass. "Where did you learn to cook like that? And more importantly, why have you been keeping it a

Former hostage Matan Angrest finally updated a graffiti mural of himself.

Before, it said "Wait for me to come home."

Now it says, "'I'm home now."

Words we've waited so long to see.

This is how omega Hux lets alpha Kylo know he's been kidnapped.
Because the first and last time Hux was forced to cook the dinner, no less than two dozen emergency speeders had to be dispatched.

Today at work.

A-san was in my lab, video-chatting with someone from the mother company in 🇯🇵.

He turned the laptop to show the person our CMM configuration.
Then he turned the laptop at me and told me the other fella is also a measurement specialist.

I started to sweat & introduced myself.

Under occupation, people hid Ukrainian flags like heirlooms — kept safe because they believed Ukraine would return. And it did.

When Ukrainian defenders entered the city, doors opened and colors poured onto the streets: flags that had been waiting for this day.👇

This man was evacuated from Kostiantynivka together with 7 cats, saving them from being killed by russian shelling or lack of food.

Far right-wing antisemites want to claim that Jews “aren’t white enough” and don’t belong in the West.

Far left-wing antisemites want to claim that Jews are “too white” and don’t belong in Israel.

Their shared goal? Perpetual homelessness for Jews— anywhere we go.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

As some already know, I'm pretty open about drawing m/m even irl. Yes, even at work. (I put too much effort in those pics to be ashamed of them.)

So Friday afternoon, I went to our company IT specialist, reminding him that I need the USB ports of my new PC unblocked.

He had forgotten, of course.

Just posting pics of random trees I took over the years. 🌳

Maybe I'll start posting trees more often.
And maybe I'll forget about it in a week.
Time will tell.

Anyway - trees.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:

-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey

Shameful.

Was being cheeky at work.

Showed T-san from the tech dept. a bracket that still had burrs even after repairs, and he went どうしおうかな~ to himself, wondering how to fix them.

So I said どうしおうかな? 目を閉じて下さい。🙈

Ah yes. 41yrs for hardly a couple of days, and still a bit of an arse. 😌
