Farmers are getting infected with bird flu because they are working in 104 degree heat without masks and other PPE. The is why labor justice must be a key part of the solution for both climate change and pandemics.

I'm so tickled by this idea: a multi-author collab for cozy sewing-themed paranormal romances. It's not a real collab (yet), but it could be (maybe)! Titles 'taken': Monstrous Materials, Patterns & Portals, Serging Through Time (@cemurphy.bsky.social & @lilithsaintcrow.bsky.social, whose is it??)

PS, More names from my list: Patterns & Portals Singers & Swords Stitch-time Continuum The Relativity Thimble Thimble Warp A Pattern In Time Needles in Dust One Thousand Stabs 😁😁😁 We can each pick one & do a themed series! I'm calling Monstrous Materials for mine. 😂😏

God damn. I slept wrong yesterday and Did Something to my back, so now it's 4:45 in the morning and I'm not sleeping at all because 'upright' is the only comfortable position. I would very much like the painkillers to kick in now please.

On Monday I'll be in conversation with @rebeccafraimow.bsky.social to discuss Lady Eve's Last Con, the queer jazz-age-space-heist-rom-com you've been looking for. PW called it "compulsively readable and totally delightful." They're right. Tickets are free: peoplesbooktakoma.com/event/rebecc...

Ted, in the kitchen, furious with the dog: YOU JUST CAME IN! *JESUS CHRIST*. Me, from the living room, in an awe-stricken voice: Jesus Christ just came in? Ted: -deadly silence- Indy, perkily, from the kitchen: I think you're funny, Mom! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

this makes me SO happy!!!

I'm getting fed up with people who are already giving up IN JULY

every day I feel like I'm losing my mind as people look at a statistically tied race where one guy is a felon with deeply unpopular positions who ALREADY LOST THIS EXACT RACE and are like "he is 100% for sure going to win"

I'd say I was weak, but I've actually been waiting for this crowdfund for weeks bc I LOVE their models 😍 @adorkastock.com & Friends Group Poses for Artists! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

I’m sure you’ve seen these already but for folks who haven’t, the artist Lili Chin has done some great guides to dogs’ body language

me, who almost never draws: obviously i need the Everything Package also oh god no all the add-on packages, i cannot afford all of this, i have to make choices ...and draw more...

OMG it's happening!! Everybody IT'S HAPPENING! AdorkaStock & Friends Group Poses for Artists is now LIVE. Pls help us make day one the strongest launch possible. We have 3 tiers: $10, $30, & $100. ❤️❤️ www.adorkastock.com/group #Art #PoseRef #Crowdfunding #Artist #References

I had this exact discovery with @antiqueight.bsky.social, who was utterly bewildered that Americans very strongly feel that "a couple" means TWO. :)

In Ireland "a couple" (as in a couple of pints/days/hours/bags of Tayto) means any number of that thing which is not one or zero.

AdorkaStock - Pose Reference for Artists

Lastly, at $10,000 we're giving every model a suit! If we crush all three of these goals, we have more in store, so please help us get the word out! Back here: www.adorkastock.com/group #Art #PoseRef #Reference

It should very much be 9ish, though. We famously have a family story of waiting at a cafe that was supposed to be open at 10, which eventually opened around 10:20, causing someone to say, with a sigh, "I guess it wasn't ten *enough*."

The Irish have a fairly flexible relationship with the concept of time #speirGorm

no, no, keep going

*whispers* i've seen this thing lately where people who sew are being called 'sewists' and i guess that's because 'sewer' (a person who sews) is visually indistinguishable from 'sewer' (a conduit to remove sewage or waste water) BUT I FUCKING HATE IT, THANKS

gigantic fucking loser energy and the only function of this is to depress turnout. polls said hrc was cruising to victory in 2016. republicans said "fuck that, vote". perhaps a lesson there.

“If Mr. Biden remained, not only would he lose to [Trump], he could be enough of a drag on other Democratic candidates that the party would most likely lose the Senate and miss an opportunity to win control of the House, Mr. Schiff said at a fund-raiser in New York.” www.nytimes.com/2024/07/16/u...

Something you may have missed yesterday - The Biden Administration is going to unveil a nationwide rent control proposal. It's going to be challenging to implement, and will require control of both chambers, but they're working on it. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
