Ryan PackerSeattle voters are currently approving the library levy renewal by nearly 72%.
Kansans vote no on electing state Supreme Court justices, a GOP-backed measure that could have shaped rulings on abortion and voting.
If you have any history of abuse, do not watch the video of that representative being interviewed. I shouldn’t have and I am still amped up hours later. Those of you lucky enough not to speak abuser should, though. The guy is textbook.
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Texas ObserverNew from Andrew Joseph Pegoda: In an attempt to overcomply with Texas law, the University of Houston will eliminate over 100 women's studies, gender and sexuality courses from the core curriculum. It won't be enough to appease extremist Republicans.
Well, the FCC Commissioner has made the decision, first announced in an op-ed in Breitbart, stating that a regulatory body does not have to observe laws made by Congress if they don't feel like it. Every month is new and unprecedented territory. docs.fcc.gov/public/attac...

“Uber’s strategy recycles an old and ugly script: If a woman drank, if she rode alone, if it was late, if her memory is imperfect, then maybe she is to blame,” Ms. Engstrom said. “But those are precisely the circumstances when Uber told consumers its service was supposed to protect them.”

Furries are an indicator species. If they start disappearing, your online ecosystem is not healthy.
Lol, I remember one of these chuds who was obviously trying to goad people here. His bio had something like "Here for genuine debate. If you block me, you're showing I'm morally and intellectually superior to you." "Cool, enjoy your superiority, babe" thought I, as I hit Block.
Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
Seattle youth, get your fucking ballots in! At least just to vote for Pramila if nothing else (but please do others if you have the capacity). And if you are in District 37, Jaelynn Scott is a Black trans woman democratic socialist who has been endorsed by SDSA. She deserves your vote.
Hannah KriegNEW: Young people are on the ballot this election, but can we please get young people to the ballot BOX? So far, King County voters 65+ account for 4 times as many ballots as people under 35. You have until 8pm Tuesday to close that gap!
Anybody at @moderation.bsky.app want to try to explain why they suspended @matthewcort.land, ANOTHER of the most prominent people out here fighting for disabled and marginalized people? Like… are y'all planning to suspend/ban literally every disabled legal scholar/policy worker out here, orrrr…?
ali alkhatibanyway, if you're looking for Matthew Cortland, you should sub to their patreon since they're a disabled lawyer evidently getting deplatformed from places.
Please hire my partner so we can move somewhere that’s not Boston! (Also my partner is very smart and experienced):

Minneapolis is better in summer🙄. If Scottie Scheffler held a press conference tomorrow and said my whole life has been a lie, I’ve started HRT and I’m going to compete in LPGA tournaments from now on, that is transparently absurd. And defending his (or her) “right” to do it is insane.
