This is a dragon fruit. The last ones I've bought were white inside, so imagine my surprise when I cut this open!

Nature is anti-capitalist

Libby's new catnip toy.
A felt cat toy shaped like a piece of white cake with purple frosting that says "Fuck these fascists" on the white parts.

Don't forget to immerse and ground yourself in nature. We need to remember that nature can go on without us, but we can't go on without Her.

I can't tell you how many people here on Bluesky lay into the personal, biting insults. And that's just the Democrats! If you're angry, please go for a walk. Other people are not your verbal punching bags. If you want to argue an issue, stick to the issue.
Graphic: Did you know that it's actually possible to go on social media without hurling insults and personal attacks at the other people on social media?

Huh.
Cory’s notable absence. Senate Democrats actually did their jobs and held Big Tech’s feet to the fire during an antitrust hearing on Capitol Hill yesterday. Missing, however, was the subcommittee’s very own ranking Democrat, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who curiously scheduled his 25-hour filibuster right in the middle of the big hearing. Booker has proved to be a reliable ally to Silicon Valley after taking Big Tech campaign cash.

One of the signs I designed for upcoming protests.
Protest sign design that says "Elon Musk eats babies" and shows a cartoon mouth with sharp teeth and a crying baby inside.

This is what's in the YOGA MAT that I just received in the mail. The yoga mat smells like gasoline. I am returning the yoga mat.

Oh ffs. I will never get over how acknowledging the existence of women and Black folks is "woke." I guess when you're misogynistic, racist and have crippling insecurities, that makes sense.

From the family values party. Who the fuck does this benefit? I know who it doesn't benefit: poor families. I guess they figure since they're getting rid of education for poor kids, might as well put them to work. This is disgusting.

Am I in Bizzaro World? I thought @blakegendebien.bsky.social was a Democrat. Which regulations are senseless? How insecure is your Canadian border? Which members of the legal workforce are lining up to work on your farm and how much are you paying them?
Text from article: “We need somebody that's fighting for secure borders, deporting criminals, and working towards a legal labor force for farms and other small businesses like construction, plumbing, and forestry,” Gendebien said. “We also need someone committed to reducing senseless regulations.”

From my local credit union. Of course the oligarchy is going after credit unions. 🤬
Email text: I’m writing to let you know that Congress is considering legislation that would undo the tax exemption it created for credit unions over 90 years ago. If this happens, it will be a tax on you, our 170,000 members at EastRise, and millions of people in the U.S. who rely on a credit union for financial services.

I'm so exhausted at the thought of moving out of Florida, but stuff like this is going to keep happening so I'm also not motivated to stay.

Einstein predicted that Israelis would become terrorists. Also, he called it Palestine. That should be noted.
Letter from Einstein: Dear Sir, When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the terrorist organizations build up from our own ranks. I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people. Sincerely yours, Albert Einstein
