After 20 years on this earth, Skritch passed away in his sleep this afternoon. He was 5ish when he first wandered into Mom’s back yard. He went from wary stray to wary, beloved garage cat. In his last years, he’d sleep in a closet overnight, then bask in the sun He was adored, and will be missed.

Bluesky - it’s not ok for you or your AI bots to insert a link under somebody’s post just because you can, or because you feel “there should be something.” Sometimes I don’t have a link to post. Get over it. I literally had to delete & repost without the phrase that prompted your link. Sheesh.

Ageism is hiring a 25 year old instead of a better qualified 55 year old. It's not "ageism" to say that an 81 year old or a 78 year old might not be able to handle the world's most demanding job.

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

as the surviving confederates cut and ran, union officers picked up confederate battle flags that had fallen in combat and rode circles around the rebels, dragging the flags in the mud and blood behind their horses

today is the 161st anniversary of pickett’s charge, when 12,000 confederates marched across 3/4 of a mile of open land, directly into constant rifle and artillery fire. half the confederates were killed, wounded, or captured in the slaughter, a turning point in the battle of gettysburg and the war

Alternatively make friends with a criminal defense lawyer who does 1st amendment cases. I miss @gregdoucette.bsky.social so much. But yes before you go to ANY protest, know 1) who will show up with cash to bail you out and 2) who your lawyer is

If you are going to be protesting anywhere near the Republican National Convention, write the NLG number on your stomach in Sharpie (not your arm: cops use that as "evidence of premeditation"). They are fucking superheroes. Give them money to keep being superheroes: www.nlg.org/donate/
