A gray shorthair cat at the moment of release upside down, with its tongue out looking derpy
A new paper on falling cat science came out and I just have to draw people's attention to this image
Books? Free download and read? In this economy?
YES, PLEASE!
@karenrambo.bsky.social This beautiful female Shepherd needs saving from a kill shelter in NYC. If you know anyone on the East Coast who could foster her. Itβs free.
That's the thing about the Trump administrations. It's just this constant onslaught of surprise horrors.

Moneyβs human sez heβs a gentle giant, β€οΈ baths, ice cream & listening to music. Very friendly on intake, he continues 2B highly social w/staff. For godβs sake, heβs on death row for not wanting to go back in kennel
Had a mass removed, been feeling poorly

πΆπDONβT KILL MIKE
Volunteer sez βMike has been a consummate gentleman. He is easy to walk, quickly shows off his best give paw & down & is becoming a volunteer favorite. The only time he tends to act a bit uncouth is when treats are involved & he turns into a bit of a gremlin!β

I keep thinking about the people for whom $400K is a small number and how they are the reason people for whom it is a very big number have to hustle like this
Please keep circulating this so that people who have $500 to spare see it
We are training undergrads (18-22) to digitize vcr tapes, cassettes, and vinyl. We introduce phrases like "rewind" into their vocab and made diagrams of what a tape looks like from 6 angles. And we get questions like "how do I rewind a record" which is understandable but turns my bones to dust.
πΆπDONβT KILL SMOKE
Cutie pie Smoke isnβt a fan of other dogs & judging by the scars that criss cross his beautiful face, who could blame him? He came in underweight, his human too ill to care for him now
He loves people though, is easily leashed and eager for company

πDONβT KILL πΆGOOSE
Dumped at 10 mos old bcz grew too big (55 lbs). Expected to relieve himself in home.
Very sweet, v friendly & wiggly during med exam, loose & social w/ staff since then. He really doesnβt want to go back in kennel. Surely not a reason to kill a puppy π€¬

Part of me wonders if they think the plot of The Rise of Skywalker was real and the Ayatollah, both Khomeini and Khamenei, is Palpatine.
If so, they probably also donβt realize we arenβt the plucky resistance in this scenario.

Good news for this puppy is sheβs been reserved by a New Hope partner! π₯³π
Wait?! You mean experienced journalists donβt actually spring fully formed from the head of Zeus like the wise Athena?
This little dude is supposed to be reclaimed-
But heβs not been picked up and Iβm getting worried so can we keep him active just in case?
Thanks!
On top of everything else that is wrong with this, how is it that there's a 911 call at 5:30pm but no one responds until the 2nd 911 call that came THREE HOURS LATER at 830p?
Even internships for journalism students/recent grads are getting harder to find. CT has a bill to fund early career fellowships in the state, which would help, but more is needed to deal with the scope of the problem.
I thought this infographic was a useful tool for explaining this exact issue. bsky.app/profile/news...
Iβve heard a lot of things on C-SPAN, but that call was haunting. A brutal reminder of the real-world toll.
I routinely scream this sentiment into the void. I deal with this all the time with my asthma & migraine medications. I still get treatment disruptions even when proactive about asking for the doc to send in paperwork before the clock runs out. Insurance doesnβt care that breathing is important.
When a trans personβs ID doesnβt match their appearance, every interaction where they have to show that ID becomes a potential outing. A traffic stop. A job orientation. A TSA checkpoint. You hand someone your license and suddenly theyβre looking at you differently, or asking questions, or worse.
Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans person in the state. Theyβre being told to surrender their current licenses and get new ones listing their birth sex. No grace period. Get caught driving with your now-invalid license and youβre looking at jail and a fine.
This is amazing.

A little-read set of court docs from the FBIβs WaPo raid in Jan. show the risks journalists and sources face if devices are seized.
They also reveal key lessons on how small precautions can make a big, big difference.

I don't think this is off base--but combining media oligarchy with the collapse of local journalism, impoverished public media, and the hyper-capitalistic logics of our entire media/information/communication ecosystem--from social media to cable news--it's not looking good for any kind of democracy.
