One of the cats is a short haired tuxedo tabby, and the other is a black tuxedo cat. The girls are smiling and looking towards the camera and squinting a little in the sunlight.

The KIDS Act will effectively create a new mass surveillance system, EFF’s @irmck.bsky.social wrote for @coindesk.com. Your current online usage is not necessarily linked to your specific identity; if this bill passes, that will likely change.

I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I need readers to get behind The Hocus Pocus Handbook. If you're not ordering it or talking about it because you assume I'm successful, well. This is it for me; I might be done writing. I love writing, but publishing? It's hard. It is SO hard these days.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

My auction donations this year are a tad on the political side. And there’s also a pink heart. The high bids on most of them are still under the retail price, too. See them all using this link www.32auctions.com/organization... @romancingthevote.com

Auction items. An oval copper ring dish with ‘our choice’ on a raised piece of copper in the center, the same ‘our choice’ design on a sterling pendant, a pair of earrings flipping the bird (one hand points toward you, one points away), a silver pendant with the statue of liberty crying into her hands, silver cocktail picks with a round disc at the top with RBG’s favorite and dissent collars, silver cocktail picks one with the scales of justice and one with a judge’s gavel, and a large heart-shaped pink stone necklace. The pink stone has little a design in it - called dendrites - that are darker pink and look like wisteria branches.
