My sweet kitty passed away today. She will be missed.

POV: She just wants to nibble your nose. Just a little nibble. C'mon. Just a nibblet.

A pregnant woman in North Carolina had her parental rights to her baby in utero terminated because she committed a crime while pregnant. The reason? Life begins at conception. People capable of becoming pregnant are truly just incubators for the state. ncnewsline.com/2023/10/18/n...

Parent's rights terminated because 'life begins at conception'ncnewsline.com The ruling takes a 75-year-old NC Supreme Court opinion out of context in determining that a mother's parental rights should be terminated.

COME ON, people! This isn’t hard!!! It’s common sense and common courtesy. WEAR. A FUCKING. MASK.

Dear @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com, Hope you’re recovering well. Your fans have written a guide to promoting COVID mitigations/safer venues. In unprecedented numbers, people who do live events are becoming seriously ill from COVID reinfections. Would you consider sharing? medium.com/@cdl.tuebing...

But if we shot for zero and hit like 10% that’s still sooo many fewer people leaving more resources to help the affected as well.

I mean, okay, zero transmission is a lofty goal that we gave up on but it's also how to prevent Long COVID so.

There were clouds for most of the eclipse, but some cloud breaks allowed for some imaging. It got to around 80% totality where I am.

US drinking water often contains toxic contaminants, scientist warnsphys.org Most Americans take it for granted that the water that comes out of their taps is clean and safe to drink.

I haven't shared any of my astrophotography on here yet, so maybe this is a good time for it! I just got a new smart telescope and I did some side-by-side capturing with my existing smart telescope.

BREAKING: SAG-AFTRA has voted to authorize a strike against 10 of the biggest video game companies. An overwhelming 98% voted in favor of authorizing a strike. The union now has the authority to call a strike for video game voice actors.

Are we ever going to make anything, anymore? Is this something we can recover from, or are we too hooked on the "easy money" of just strip-mining all the capital built up by our institutions and people over centuries? How does a nation grow (or survive) when it's cannibalizing itself?

If someone posts that their cat has been diagnosed with X and you had a cat die of X, PLEASE DON'T TELL THE POSTER ABOUT IT (unless they specifically ask for that kind of feedback). It is so cruel to dump your trauma on someone who is already freaked out! Just offer support and love or stay quiet.

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.
