Why are children the way they are. Got a pic of Baby Bestie sitting on top of her collapsed (collapsible) laundry basket. That cannot be comfortable. What are you doing, my love?

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

The image is of a four panel comic. 
In the first panel, we see a pair of ghosts. The first ghost says, “Let us make love, my darling.”
In the second panel, we see  see the second ghost’s face, blushing. It says, “Here? In public?”
In the third panel, we again see the pair of ghosts together. The first one says, “No one can see us, we’re ghosts!”
In the fourth panel, the title reads “the cat”. We see a cat looking up at them.

🚨BREAKING: Voting rights groups are citing recent ICE activity near voting sites and new evidence of intimidation as they expand a lawsuit seeking to keep armed federal agents away from polling places during the midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls
Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Semi-related as I add that to my countdown calendar (29 days!) I need more stuff in the first half of next year. After season 3 of Percy Jackson (which may be already entirely released by NYE?), I’ve got one book (Fall of Elvenesse 3/23) and then nothing until HR s2 at some indeterminate point.

Y’all I did (weighted) Bulgarian split squats this morning, two reps per set more than I normally do, and I just tried to squat a little to pick something up off the floor. That was a MISTAKE I did not realize my glutes were sore until just now 😭😂

Presumably the speakers since I use them ~8 hrs/day, 5 days/week, and they’re…probably a decade old. $15 Logitech speakers iirc so not bad but damn, would be nice if they failed in an obviously speaker-issue way lol

(It’s maddening, btw, to have a bunch of tiny little gaps in the songs you’re listening to) It finally occurred to me to unplug my speakers and try the built-in ones. Tinny, of course, but not a single skip. So. It’s either the speakers themselves or their driver.

Probably my fault tbh but for like two months I’ve been dealing with audio skipping on my work computer. Assumed it was a software issue bc the hardware doesn’t get touched and the sound just drops out, there’s no crackling or anything, the audio just…doesn’t audio. No software fixes have worked tho

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

It's not really fair that I blame her more than anyone else for Roe v Wade because 50 other senators helped... But she is the only one who got on the senate floor and gave a defensive angry gaslighting speech chiding us for daring to think Kavanaugh would do what we all knew he would do.

Look, this is bad. Yes. But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi). What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

Like, the misunderstanding of basic grammar you must have to say that e.g. lash is always plural when used as a noun... Someone else says surroundings can be a verb. O rly? Someone notes "surrounding" isn't a noun. A responder says "the wall surrounding the castle is high." That's...not a noun

aramina.bsky.social @aramina.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
it is truly horrifying to watch native English speakers discuss their language sometimes. you're given a list of words and told "when used as a noun, this word [from the list] is always plural." The answers people have given: zeroes, taxes, batches, beliefs, lashes, fangs. The answer: surroundings.
