Sarkat @sarkat.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This is both upsetting to listen to and also gives me hope. I recommend watching it, if you have the emotional fortitude to. Take note of the Senators and House Reps here who are willing to show up and and speak out and demand justice and accountability. 020

Sarkat @sarkat.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Cobblestone kept attacking my chair while I was trying to work and I kept shoeing him away. So he bit my elbow. Which drew blood, so I went to clean the tooth scratch. Because cat bites get infected. When I got back, he was drinking my water. Which is why the cat is now locked in the bathroom. 100

Sarkat @sarkat.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Well played Mamdani. As has been widely noted already, he is a class act and a very good politician. But I also want to talk about how the commentators are framing this and how they are subtly backing him up. 121
