The conservatives where I live shit blood absolutely any time any changes are made to roads to make them even slightly more pedestrian and bus/bike friendly. Preventing accidents/deaths and generally having a more usable, inviting environment for anyone that isn’t a car is unacceptable if it adds even a second to their commute. Go live on the fucking highway if you like it so much.

That was the pop culture take on it, that doesn’t mean that’s what the evidence shows.

Because it was wildly under diagnosed in many places until recently, and if you weren’t a white boy you were a lot less likely to be correctly diagnosed.

That’s the only mod action for the entire community, if it’s a coincidence it’s a wild one.

That reminds me, I keep forgetting to post this sticker I saw on a lamp post a few weeks ago:

 

Be sure to hit ‘Continue thread’ each time when you get to it, it continues further than Bluesky loads! I found the whole thing very thoughtful and knowledgeable.

Dem strategist brains are as wormy as RFK Jr’s, they’ll never accept that it was anything other than the moral impurity of the voting base that lost them the election.

lmao, the only mod action on his account was removing him as the mod of [email protected] three days ago, after he was already dead.

Which was the day after the bombing, FBI must have been up LW’s ass pretty quick.

That’s what I call my testosterone shot sometimes. My precious vials of gender fluid.

Not even! I think it was a combination of high UV hitting me from the sun and it getting reflected from the pavement. That can be a real danger at the beach, too, even under an umbrella.

I’ve burnt in 15 minutes here, probably 10-11 UV when it happened. Now I wear a sun jacket so I’m not slathering sunscreen on myself all the time, because that’s a sensory nightmare for me.

It has the number of steps it does so that the pressure from the button holding your pants closed is evenly distributed over the fabric (and thread), so that nothing tears or rips. When sewing through cloth more points of attachment is generally better. You might be able to staple a button on without damaging the fabric over time, but it’s probably a lot less comfortable to wear than one sewn on.

Just attached a button to my pants yesterday, after the factory sewn button gave up.

I was taking a walk and heard a mockingbird making absolutely furious noises that I’d never heard before, and then saw the crow, so I knew something was up. The crow disappeared into a tree for a few moments, and shortly emerged victorious with its prize. The mockingbird threw itself at the crow throughout the entire process in a valiant effort to protect its eggs, but it wasn’t enough.

Last Thursday, 21-year-old Augusta Clara, her three-month-old baby, and Clara’s 17-year-old sister had just begun driving away from their home when they were stopped by ICE agents. The three of them and Ferreira de Oliveira, who entered the United States in 2022, are part of a Brazilian immigrant family who live together in the greater Boston area. (The family members do not all share the same immigration status.)

Ferreira de Oliveira, who is 40 years old, was still at their nearby home when she received a phone call from one of her daughters, who said ICE had pulled them over and were threatening to arrest Clara.

Ferreira de Oliveira’s frightened daughter told her mother that she needed to leave the home now and come meet them on the street, because ICE was telling them that if they arrested Clara, they weren’t allowed to leave the baby in the hands of a minor. So, the feds insisted, grandma needed to rush over to take custody of the baby.

 
 

The Beachwood Police Department reported on May 2 the man checked out the hundred books from the Cuyahoga County Public Library Beachwood Branch, and posted a video of him burning the books on social media.

 

"In light of our church's steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step," [bishop] Rowe wrote. "Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government."

 

This guy makes terrariums for a living, so the artistry in all his videos is so interesting to me.
