YouTube, why are you recommending I watch a small town council meeting from the UK? That is a different country, on a different continent, in a different hemisphere.

That looks a lot like my sister's kitty.

Hey, @neolithicsheep.bsky.social, just letting you know the pouch and notebook cover got here today in good condition.
A leather pouch and a leather notebook cover with notebook inside sit on top of a large Priority Mail envelope.

A stolen picture of my sister's kitten Gonzo, or as I like to call him; The Kitten of the Opera!
A white cat with black patches one of which creates a moustache effect and another creates a half mask similar to the mask from The Phantom of the Opera musical. He is standing partly behind a low powered lamp that is giving him and the scene an eerie green glow.

Share an actor who nailed a role so hard that nobody else will ever be able to live up to it…

Hint
The pinned post of Kathryn Tewson (@kathryntewson.bsky.social) saying: 
New policy: people who come into my mentions to scold me for how I engage with bad-faith users are getting blocked. Y’all clearly are looking for a different online experience than the one I provide, so I’ll just help you along to it.

Here you go.
A skeet from @josholson.bsky.social saying: It's a brutal time for young men, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a boy." 

Absolutely perfect time for right wing monsters to sweep in with shitty answers

An important post from Tumblr. (Posted twice to fit the alt text) (vaspider.tumblr.com/post/7730363...)
Screenshot of two posts from Tumblr user vaspider

First post: So… I got a notification from the State Department at like 8 PM Pacific that my passport was approved, and I was quietly thankful and stunned bc my legal gender in Oregon is listed as X, or undeclared, and that's what's on my passport. I'm pretty sure someone(s) worked late to get the X passports done today.

I was already really grateful to whoever in the Seattle Passport Office worked late to get these things processed on the last Friday before That Man gets back into office... and then I got a notification that my passport shipped at fucking midnight Pacific and whoever got that shit out the door so it couldn't be picked up on Monday and like, denied and shredded?

They're my fucking hero.Screenshot of two posts from Tumblr user vaspider

Second post: So… I heard from a friend of 20+ years who works for the State Department who confirmed to me in so many words that they can assure me, without specifics, that “all of the suppositions you have made here are true.”

So… yep. Passport folx at the State Department really did work incredibly long hours this week just… shoveling every passport out the door (and prioritizing the ones that might be A Problem come Monday) and yes, they did On Purpose make sure that all of them weren’t just DONE but MAILED and out the door and in the hands of the USPS so that they can’t be told to pull those passports back and deny/destroy them.

This also means they got the OK for the mountains of overtime from the Biden administration to get that done.

This is what I mean when I say that the Good Work is often not glamorous and that we have to prioritize things which actively and immediately better the lives of our siblings. The State Department worker who was still in the office last night at midnight Pacific time stuffing my passport into an Express Mail envelope and making sure that it was in the hands of USPS has done more liberatory work for the trans movement than 100 people endlessly auditing the language others use to describe their lives ever will.

These next years are gonna be real hard. Find something tangible to do for yourself and others, however small, and do it as hard as you can

Just transferring my last remaining tweet over here so I can delete it, since I don't want it to be scraped for X's "AI" project.
An image showing two tweets
First tweet is the text "She's too much!!" followed by a video showing a tuxedo kitten sitting in front of a water bowl 
Second tweet is the three music notes emoji followed by the text 
She's Missus Small-Kitten
She's Miss Adorbs
She's Missus Fluff-Bundle
She's Missus Cuddle-Bug
Friends call her Cute-Meister
Whatever she'll clutch
Melts in glee at her touch
She's too much
followed by the three music notes emoji

I looked it up myself.
Mr. Pump: 'I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People.'
Moist von Lipwig: 'I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr. Pump. I may be — all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!'
Mr. Pump: 'No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And. Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game

Also, this is a weird complaint. The people who are against the thing don't use it themselves? That's the opposite of hypocrisy.

His response seems to be: Do you think every article on Trump should say he's a terrible person too?
