A guy doing as best he can in life. Definitely on the nerdy side. I take a dim view on people who deny other people basic rights and dignity. He/him/his.

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in several states. I urge you to double check your state's deadline, verify that you are registered, and make changes to your registration if needed. Then contact three friends or family members and have them do the same. whenweallvote.org

Colorado folks, ballots are getting mailed out now. Best to return your ballot before November third. Deposit your ballot at a drop off location, if possible. Ask three friends to vote when you do. Thank you - www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/electio...

Trends are nice, but trends don't count for dick shit until the election is over, the races are called, and the new congress is sworn in. Until then, keep making your plans to go vote and whatever else keeps you sane and your hope alive. m.youtube.com/shorts/io8Ni...

DoorDash spent $1.4 million trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming NYC mayor. Mamdani just made them pay $131.5 million in wage theft settlements to 264,000 delivery workers. This is why they fear working class solidarity. It comes with accountability.

Now would be a good time to remind people that the case which declared it unconstitutional to ban and criminalize the sale of contraception, Griswold v Connecticut, was based on the right to privacy SCOTUS has been chipping away at and was decided less than a decade before Roe.

In other words, if Dobbs has shown anything it is that rights we have believed were unassailable can be directly attacked and removed. It is not alarmist to react to anything that appears to do so with concern.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green looks at Blue as Blue is dramatically laying down on the floor.
Blue: You can go ahead and go to that party. I'll just be here by my self, alone.

Green looks at Blue with a frustrated frown, as Blue sticks his tongue out while making a disgusted face.
Green: You could also come with me.
Blue: I don't like people.

Green raises an eyebrow.
Green: Don't I count as "people?"
Blue: Of course not. You're the love of my life.

“Everything is 40% more expensive because of AI” is a great line for an opposition party trying to unseat the AI-supported incumbents, if any Democratic consultants wanted to take a short break from dehumanizing trans kids to actually try winning a contested election.

Just also want to note that trans people and advocates for the unhoused have told people for years that Gavin Newsom is trash. If this is what makes people realize how awful he is, great, but I really hope this is also a wake-up call to listen the first time someone tells you who they really are.
