Hello Bluesky! Do I need more social media in my life? No! But am I sick of No Joy in Muskville (a bit heavy on GOP sociopaths) and Instagram (ads n’ grifters)? Yes! So here I am. Enjoy this photo of my shy kitty Little Miss luxuriating in the sunshine.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

TD opened for my roommate's ex's new band Reverse. Blown away. Tough to get, not on streaming. As a joke they released an anniversary edition of this on cassette a couple years ago. So punk.

This is very cool, & also Greer Lankton is yet another great answer to the “nobody heard of transgender before 20XX” nonsense; born in 1958, gender affirming surgery at the age of 21, which her father—a Presbyterian minister—convinced his church’s board to cover under the church’s health insurance

Fuuuuuuckkkkk Amazon.
“After that extra-contaminated water leaves Amazon’s data center, it then gets dumped and sprayed across local farmland in Oregon.”
Eewwww

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.
What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.
And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.
