"Defunding" Planned Parenthood is an attack on the essential, life-saving care Planned Parenthood health centers provide.

It's camo. That's. That's a... coincidence.

I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are
Not deterred by the closed door
Working as a group
Protecting their identities
Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction
Getting away at the end
These ideas were not all here from the beginning. They are genuinely gaining experience that can be applied elsewhere
"If you accept any food from the fae, they shall never let you go" is a human belief. The fair folk stand by the principle that if you feed 'em, you gotta keep 'em. If wildlife learns to rely on you for food, you have already fucked up, and you can't just stop feeding them cold turkey. That human is your responsibility now. Because you left your peach cobbler unsupervised.
If you start feeding the humans in your yard then you need to make sure you keep feeding them or else they’ll choose not to migrate and starve in the winter. I recommend rolling something in peanut butter and seeds and hanging it out on the porch

[video ID: an orange tabby cat lies next to a plasma ball. Voice 1: "yeah?" Voice 2: "[inaudible name] touch it" hand reaches into frame and touches the plasma ball, causing lightning effect. Cat is visibly curious. Hand pulls out of frame. Cat investigates and sniffs at plasma ball. Voice 2: [giggles] "he's tapping his nose." Cat sits up and, clearly mimicking the human's action, pokes and then places his paw on the plasma orb, creating a lightning effect which outlines his paw pads against the glass. Voice 2: [suppressed laughter] "you can perfectly see the little beans!" Cat removes paw from orb, sits back, and sniffs curiously in the air. Voice 2: [through laughter] "oh my fucking god" Voice 1: "that's the best thing I've ever seen." Cat reaches to sniff off screen. Voice 2: "oh now he's just going to eat my lamp." End video ID]
Quick correction! The cat wasn't reaching to sniff off-screen. It was sniffing the translucent ends of an LED lamp :)
do you want to hear about my favorite fish 🥺
of course you do!! it’s a dunkleosteus, it’s an ancient deepsea fish from the late devonian period, and it has an exoskeleton!! it’s about the size of a great white shark, and unfortunately it is extinct but it is so so amazing!! i’ll attach some pictures below :)
LOOK AT THAT THANG
anywayyy love ya! i watch your otter cam all the time how are they doing?? i love them so much ANYWAYS im rambling ily bye :3
Woah, that Dunkleosteus is mega-cool! We get why you love it—the armored head is pretty metal.
Our resident otters are doing well. We just welcomed two new otters—Willow and Suri—to the Sea Otters exhibit in April, and they are adjusting swimmingly! Make sure to say hi to them next time they pop up on the cam :)
admittedly i know little of the subject but one would think, at 45 years of age, he would be a ryan goose by now
“there’s an ai tool for that” okay ?? there’s probably an ed sheeran song for it too who gives a fuck
hey did ya'll know that ed sheeran is working on a series of 6 albums named after media player buttons and the first one released last year and the last one is to be released posthumously on the day that he dies
That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about Ed Sheeran to prove otherwise
…huh

2026 Midterm Elections Are Coming!
Go to Ballotpedia for information on upcoming elections, including the midterms, state and local elections, who the candidates are, where they stand, and when and where to vote. You can also check your registration status, make sure you’re registered to vote, and explore options for mail-in ballots if you need them.
Here's how things are shaping up ahead of the 2026 midterms:
In the 119th Congress, the current party alignments as of August 4, 2025, are as follows: (Congress.gov)
House of Representatives: 219 Republicans (plus 3 Delegates) 212 Democrats (plus 2 Delegates and the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico) 4 vacant seats
Senate: 53 Republicans 45 Democrats 2 Independents (both caucus with the Democrats)
Elections to the U.S. Congress will take place on November 3, 2026. All 435 districts in the U.S. House of Representatives and 33 seats in the U.S. Senate are up for election. Five of the Senate's six non-voting members are also up for election.
Looking ahead to the 2026 general elections, Democrats need to gain a net of four seats to win a majority in the Senate. Meanwhile, Republicans can lose no more than two seats to retain a majority in the chamber. (Ballotpedia)
In the November 2025 elections, voters flipped the governorships of several states blue, as well as electing dozens of Democratic delegates and mayors in key local elections, dislodging many GOP incumbents. There was a record turnout of young voters and younger candidates for political office.
If we can do this again in 2026, we stand a SIGNIFICANT chance of not only mitigating the damage done by the current administration, but perhaps even steering things back toward recovery. It will still take a long time. A lot can happen by next November, nothing is immediate or guaranteed, and NO ONE running for office is perfect. But it's clear to see that letting things continue to slide toward the right is not an acceptable path forward if we want to retain our rights and secure a better future for those who will come after us.
So make sure you educate yourself on your state and local elections, check on your polling place and voter registration, help out with a campaign, or try running for something yourself if you're so inclined. Vote whenever and wherever you can, because every election MATTERS.
Ballotpedia | Run For Something
In a battle of inches, never let your opponent think they’re a ruler.
Make your voice heard!
ADDENDUM:
Look into your state and local judges as well via the state court system or sites like JudgeWatch and the Federal Judicial Center. Find out what their stances are, what their court records look like, where their money comes from, and whether they might be using their position to enable crooked business practices, ignore or abuse the law in their rulings, or support for-profit prisons.
Proper justice requires fair judgement. Just as we expect our representatives to act in the best interest of their constituents, we should expect our judges to rule fairly and with an eye to humanity and common decency.
ADDITIONAL ADDENDUM:
Check Ballotpedia for additional state ballot measures up for decision before November! There are quite a few budgeting, revisional, constitutional, and redistricting measures going around as early as this spring, so don't miss the opportunity to make your voice heard!
Also, look for local municipal elections, special elections, and primaries. Everything from district congressional reps to the sheriff to the school board are voted on by the local community, along with and every one of them MATTERS.
Ballotpedia - Local Election Coverage By State
And in between votes, don't forget to call, email, and write to your representatives. Remember - they work for US!
(I do recommend signing up for the Ballotpedia email list - it's super helpful for staying informed with upcoming elections and ballot measures, as well as information on how to register and where to vote.)
