Millennial who's waiting for the economy to stop being rigged against us. Trans rights are women's rights. Abortion is healthcare. Fuck fascism.

And every colony counts! Spoiler alert: The big #bumblebees around in Autumn are new queens. They’re feeding up before hibernating. It’s vital they have access to forage. If you find one trapped in a poly tunnel/in your house let her out quickly - every queen that survives is… 2/15 #bees #nature

To every SA victim reliving their trauma, disassociating, battling rage and fear every day: We survived the hardest part. We made it through, changed, but we're here. Those memories are vampires sapping our very existence, but vampires die in the light. You can borrow some of mine awhile. Love.

Before I get started for the day, I wanted to share a thought regarding femininity and bigger bodies, and this is particularly for my femmes, my dolls, and anyone navigating fatness and gender expression. Suffice to say? Needing SMALLER sizes isn't less masculine, too. So much love.

They are already messing with my vote. I'm supposed to receive my ballot 45 days before the general election. It didn't arrive, so I'm messaging with the county elections office. They are claiming that my FPCA is only good for one election, the primary, and no longer good for the entire year.

My @peculiarityshop.bsky.social order with 2 jewelry items arrived a couple days ago, but I prefer to post a style post once I've found a match. Dragon pendant made by @shivaniswriting.bsky.social, earrings I've had for many years now. Thought they felt perfect for a lightly gilded dragon.
Photo from ear to chest, highlighting jewelry. A green and golden dragon pendant on a gold chain. Two lobed golden toned earrings where each lobe resembles a pointed oval, and the lobes are crimped together at the opposite end. Earrings are made of a leather or faux leather, and the lobes are slightly different lengths. Paired with a mustard yellow hoodie with the words "Emerald City" visible and a circular image in front of the text that is reminiscent of a stylized frog face as a profile picture.

Tonight on #TWIS, I'm going to discuss a study that gave rats concussions and psilocybin in that order. Now I know, and so you have to, too, that there is a standardized procedure for concussing rodents existing near to the concept of picking up the field mice & bopping them on their heads.

So your conclusion is, instead of building out electric charging to reduce our reliance on crude oil, let's shoot ourselves in the foot while crude is already restricted due to war in Ukraine and let's make it worse because Trump doesn't like that Obama and Biden did something right. Charlatan.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.

Received my new Alexandrite pendant from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social yesterday in the mail. Spent this morning finding an outfit to compliment it. Oddly, picking a complimentary earring was harder than the top. 2nd photo is Original photo from the listing. Jewelry photography is so tricky.
Oval warm tone alexandrite pendant while worn. 

Photo taken with incandescent lighting from the front, backlit by natural light on an overcast day. Natural light maintained the color from the camera capture, while incandescent front light highlighted the more pinkish color shift. Original Peculiarity Shop photo of the oval alexandrite pendant at time of purchase. The color is much more muted due to struggles with lighting. Hints of amber and salmon colors visible along the edges. Photo of oval alexandrite pendant resting on cream colored counter top, adjacent to a gold and diamond ring set. Ring shows a hue similar to rose gold.

Photo taken with led flash from camera. White and red toothpaste tube and black and blue hair brush in shot for color balance. Photo of oval alexandrite pendant resting on cream colored counter top, adjacent to a gold and diamond ring set. Ring shows a soft pink shade.
