I think the number one thing saving me from being a raging bitch on here 24/7 is my absolutely terrible recall of my IRL friends’ bsky handles. I once caught myself being a menace to one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and realized I needed to dial it way back.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

Abolish the death penalty. Not just for Christa Pike and Allan Miller, but for every victim of premeditated state murder who went before and every one yet to come. Retribution is not justice; it is barbarism.

Trump got 64% in Kentucky. Andy Beshear vetoed two anti-trans bills there, then won reelection. Trump got 56% in Iowa and Texas. Turek and Talarico are already folding on trans athletes. If Kentucky's governor didn't have to throw anyone under the bus, neither do you.

Andy Beshear has a message for Democrats backing away from trans rights: "That is not the party that we are'
"We don't throw anybody under the bus," the Democratic Kentucky governor said.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

As more communities are turning to rat birth control, community leaders on the Northwest Side are trying something new — getting neighbors involved.

Rat birth control program expanding to Albany Park

Unlike other communities that used third parties to deploy the bait, program leaders in Albany Park want to get neighbors involved.

Em, midly @lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

So rat birth control needs to be widespread and reapplied weekly to be effective, as it is reversible and dependent on rats encountering it as a food source. I don’t know what the pricing looks like for individual buildings, but best to go in on it with your whole block.
