So i realized that I haven't been posting my picture of the day here. So Imma catch up and then start making an effort to do that every day. I did this a long time ago, before my Internet Hiatus. Just a picture (sometimes more), every day to help me be more mindful of my life. #FeralBear2025

The wording is vague, and that's the point. To have sweepingly broad reasons to commit people
Let's be clear: this is one step closer to broadly rounding up folks for being "abnormal" or "wrong"
Remember how being trans used to be considered a mental disorder? Or homosexuality?

Things I have said in multiple contexts in different tones of voice:
"What was that?"
"Are you being naughty?"
"Well hi there baby"
"Come here. Now."
"You've been very good today"
Do I mostly say them to my cat? Yes. Have I said them....elsewhere? Also yes.

This isn’t hard or complicated. For people weighing in w/different versions of this theme: Musk isn’t a good guy, we forget nothing, he’s not on the team, never will be on the team. We don’t mind if this disgusting evil alliance comes apart. That doesn’t make us Team Elon. Next.

🚨🚨🚨Friendly PSA: I, like everybody else, am thoroughly enjoying the live action soap opera going on today. We have earned our giggles. But don’t forget that they are known to use distraction techniques to try to sneak stuff by us. So enjoy, but don’t lose all focus. That is all. Resume giggling 🤣🤣🤣

Get your end-of-life shit together. I'm serious. Write a will. Make sure someone knows where your passwords and important papers are (do YOU even know where they are?). Get life insurance if you have dependents. IN WRITING, have an aftercare plan. Don't just leave it and hope for the best. Trust me.
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

Anecdotally, the vet and vet techs groups I'm in are almost 0% excited re: the "dire wolves". The majority of the comments are concerns about it being unethical, a cash grab, a ploy for attention, a waste of money, generally wasteful, an inaccurate claim, or a mix of all of the above.

By and large, these aren't "tariffs" per se, which try to balance prices. It's more like an embargo. The port fees on ships made in China, due to start April 17, would by themselves render unprofitable huge amounts of low-margin trade used throughout our economy. Stuff which we don't make here.
The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

Another must-read @oliverdarcy.bsky.social exclusive:
In a striking bipartisan rebuke, five former FCC commissioners are urging Brendan Carr to shut down a revived “60 Minutes” case they warn threatens press freedom and could turn the agency into “a tool of White House-driven speech suppression."

Trump is whitewashing American history, removing not just people, but also the stories, images, and values to anyone who does not conform to his impoverished vision of America.
