Sad part is I didn't even bother to look up if I was correct. All the dems ever do is fundraiser, so I figured it was true. Especially with annoying texts like this (this is only half of the text).
A multiparagraph text message: "Now we need Virginia... we need Maryland... we need our friends in New York and Illinois and Colorado-- we need to see other states meet this moment head on. If you make your voice heard, I believe they will act. So I am asking you to add your name to my petition calling on democratic states that can do what they can to stop Trump from rigging the next election. Add your name: [link] If we do, we will de facto end Donald Trump's presidency as we know it the moment Speaker Jeffries is sworn in as the next Speaker of the House. - Gavin Newsom Paid for by www.stopelectionrigging.com. Top funder: HMP for Prop 50. Stop to stop.

LOL really getting to the heart of the problem there WP. @nytpitchbot.bsky.social could hardly do better.

It's soup and stew season and I am very excited.
A steaming bowl of veggie stew, including butternut squash, onions, chickpeas, spinach, and tomatoes.

She does not like the yarn moving under her. Rather than rectify the situation, she worsened it by curling up closer to me and laying her HEAD on the yarn strands. Good plan, Thalia. #Knitting #CatsOfBluesky
Close up a black cat snoozing on a couch. She is curled up with her chin on her chest. Two strands of yarn appear from under her head and continue off camera.

You know, this doesn't really help me knit. #Knitting #CatsOfBluesky
A black cat lying on a couch. She is surrounded by and very clearly laying over yarn and yarn strands, making knitting a touch difficult.

I want to know what the maker of this pattern was smoking because it must be good shit to have the first row after cast off have k2tg and ssk. I don't need help fucking up the first row! I do that fine! #Knitting #Crafting
A knitting project on the needles, with only a few rows in. Thete are holes in the knitting, some of which might not have been intentional.

This won't be permanent. I bet Silicon Valley cried foul, but eventually this admin will give them some bribe that makes it worthwhile to cause chaos and steal their workers.

Don't sit easy, San Francisco. Get organized and ready. #FuckICE #Resist
Screenshot from the AP News app saying: "Trump won't immediately send federal agents to San Francisco: Trump says he's backing off a planned surge of federal agents into San Francisco after speaking to Mayor Daniel Lurie. Lurie said the city was making progress in reducing crime, and Trump agreed to let San Francisco keep trying on its own for now."

Trying to get her used to toothpaste by putting a little on her treats and now the weirdo has toothpaste on her whisker.

#CatsOfBluesky
A black cat with a white spot on her chest and green eyes, with white toothpaste standing out on one whisker. She is giving the camera a suspicious look.

I've about 30 minutes before my app blocker prevents me from accessing social media for my own mental health, but perhaps I could cleanse your timeline with a kitty who was quite cranky that I was taking photos minutes before dinner time?

#CatsOfBluesky
A black cat with a small white spot on her chest and bright green eyes gives the camera some serious side eye.

Hold up who or what is the feed operator. Why am I imagining some poor soul being paid a dollar a post to push things to me.

WTF is this headline, @apnews.com . The article itself is okay once you get by the initial fluff, but the headline says nothing instead of "Trump's bill means every state will lose millions in revenue, but the response is partisan-driven."

BBC next time just say DHS is full of shit. #DallasShooting
A screenshot from a news article about the Dallas shooting that states "The department [DHS] had initially said two people had died in addition to the shooter, only to retract the statement, republish it, and then correct it again hours later."

Oh hi, just a horrible reminder that genocide has stages and when it comes to Hispanic people in the US, we're at stage 8. Or maybe 9 if we find out that the people missing from Alligator Auschwitz are dead. Pictograph courtesy of Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.

Trans people at 4, autism at 1 or 3.
A detailed pictograph describing the ten stages of genocide: classification, symbolisation, discrimination, dehumanisation, organisation, polarization, preparation, persecution, extermination, and denial.

Good God this sock pattern is fucking evil. The tiny yarn + tiny needles + KTBL of a stitch BEHIND the next one on the needle is so annoying and my knuckles in my left hand are throbbing. And I'll have to do it all a second time! #KnittingOfBluesky
A blue toe-up sock, still on the knitting needles and covering a person's fingers. The toe starts as a simple knit pattern, then a cabled left and right cross begins that meets in a point in the center. The yarn is frayed in some spots, indicating some trouble getting the stitches made.

It's such tiny yarn. #Knitting #KnittingOfBlueSky
A hand holding a blue toe-up sock knitting project, still on the needles and in early stages. The yarn is a fingering yarn bordering on lace, with five stitches covering the width of the knitter's thumb.

Especially since they spent their money on weird shit like Creepy Grandfather Clock.
The face of an old grandfather clock. The word is ornate, with gold twirled cylinders decorating the columns on either side of the face. A mural of people in robes surrounds the face. The clock face is golden in the center with black Roman and gold Arabic numbers on a white marbled donut shape around the gold. Inexplicably at the top of the golden face, just under 12 o'clock, a cherub's face peers out from a cutout made in the metal.

Oh look, the government is sending me propaganda emails. Too bad it won't provide them food and Healthcare if they're poor, eh?

One lone poppy managed to sprout and flower of the mixture I planted back in March/April. At least it's pretty?
A pink poppy flower with a yellow center. The background is largely brown dirt with the occasional bit of green or dead leaves. No other flowers are visible.

Fucking fascism. Here's some #knitting to try and cleanse your feed. A sock and a hat.
A bright pink knitting project still on circular needles. It is a sock starting with a ribbed top, then moving into a purl stitch with a knitted portion that is forming overlapping waves down the side. A knitting project still on the needles. It is a white hat with a ribbed bottom and a pattern of black alpacas. Some of the alpacas have seriously bent back necks due to errors in the colourwork.

Everything sucks, but the wild cherry tree in my backyard is fruiting for the first time since I moved in.
Picture of a tree branch with knobbly bark and big green leaves. A hand is holding up some small, immature cherry fruits growing on the branch.

If I'm going to be part of this movement, I figure that, as a white person, I'm long overdue to read Dr. King's words outside of the white-washed version school taught me. Good luck to everyone protesting today and remember, #FuckTrump and #ImpeachConvictRemove.
A picture of two books. Both are by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The first is "Letter from Birmingham Jail". The second is "Why We Can't Wait".

My mother and I might need to calm down about rhubarb.
A screenshot of a messaging app. First are two photos of a growing plant with broad leaves and red stems. They are accompanied with the caption "Per my plant app, this is probably the rhubarb I transferred last year!" The reply is "IS IT RHUBARB???!!!" , to which the original sender replies "Yes!!"

Thalia demonstrating why I don't buy white shit. #CatsOfBlueSky
A black cat with bright green eyes looks up past the camera, presumably at her owner. She has a paw outstretched. She is lying on a white cushion coated in black cat hair.
