Leon is being such a good cat dad 💕 He does a Big Concern whenever Benji has to go back into kitten jail (the office room lol) He’s still upset she won’t sit down and let him groom her, but we’ll get there XD

Everyone hates on the Democrats for being feckless and incompetent. But it is conceivable that one day they *won't* be. We could very well see a Democratic party become vigorous and effective at pursuing their central values: defending power and destroying the left.

This October, in collaboration with @pmpress.bsky.social, we'll be hosting an evening of conversation about resistance and resilience in rural places with three authors: Ian Byers Gamber, Mitch Troutman, and Gordon Simmons!
A photo of three books nestled in a flowering landscape of Abelia. The titles are Ian Byers Gamber's "I Come Creeping", Mitch Troutman's "The Bootleg Coal Rebellion," and Gordon Simmons' "Mutiny in the Mountains."

Can someone do a mashup of Mulan and Fiddler featuring the song "I'll Make A Mensch Out of You"? One of many random thoughts my brain is supplying this afternoon. You are invited to suggest lyrics for this.

I’ve seen like 6 (different) bugs at my new house so far (1 week) that I do not recognize and can’t identify 👀 I’m so pumped to be living in the woods but I also kinda feel like I should find out who all these bugs are 🐛

How do people still not understand evolution? Like today I heard some podcasters I like and respect trying to defend evolution against ignorance and still somehow getting it so wrong. I guess we really can’t resist assigning a narrative? Wild.

An administration of posters and livestreamers naturally view power through that literal lens: who controls the cameras supposedly controls everything. But the legal foundations of this shit go back to the SHAC-7, where filming animal abusers was ruled "terrorism." reason.com/2025/12/26/j...

yes some of it the social dynamics of social media, but also there is a long history of leftists, going all the way back to Adorno at least, making the argument that qualitative reasoning is actually capitalist or even fascist here's robin mackay complaining about this tendency in the 2010s

Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach. It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors. drive.google.com/file/d/1ENK2...

Underrated thing that's been flying under the radar: ICE's hiring spree, by necessity since there are so few others willing and able, has been hiring away local cops, which infuriates the departments by causing manpower problems and is, ironically, removing the worst of the worst from their ranks.

I read a lot of (probably fake) “AITA” stories when I’m unable to sleep but too brain dead to actually focus on anything. Idk how it happened, Facebook just started showing me a bunch and the light, fake gossip is perfect for my half asleep brain. Anyway, no one seems to get the assignment.
