bisexual cybertruck? https://bsky.app/profile/rincewind.run/post/3ktg32xd6sh2j
new form of ridiculous cybertruck spotted! this one had an instagram handle on the back, and I’m not sure I can think of a worse two word combination than “cybertruck influencer”
international law as we know it has always been a farce, but this makes the hypocrisy incredibly clear. amid a GLOBAL rise in far-right and fascist leadership, this impunity endangers the entire world.
"...the political damage the President is suffering by going down this path is so deep that it could cost him the November election and all of us our democracy."
how many of us were punished seeing and saying this many months ago? https://bsky.app/profile/marisakabas.bsky.social/post/3ktlcipepvo2g

pretty fucked up that the jobs with the highest stakes impacting the largest amount of people have lower behavioral standards than the average minimum-wage worker https://bsky.app/profile/adamserwer.bsky.social/post/3ktlkuswehl2j
Alito lied about the reason the flag was up because he didn’t know the couple had text messages establishing the date of when the incident took place. They were supporting the insurrection. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/u...

i'm still a little afraid to put more seedlings in the ground, but i think i'll give it a shot next week

"Migrants have been pushed back into the most inhospitable parts of North Africa, exposing them to abandonment with no food or water, kidnapping, extortion, sale as human chattel, torture, sexual violence and, in the worst instances, death."

With Europe’s support, North African nations push migrants to the desert
Europe backs aggressive operations by governments in North Africa that lead to migrants being dumped in barren deserts, a joint investigation shows.
www.washingtonpost.com[2020] "To date, the ICC has issued indictments against forty-two individuals, all of whom are Black and/or Arab-Africans. Recognizing the existence of anti-Black, anti-Muslim racism globally, one would expect international criminal justice to further interrogate the place of race and racism."

www.justsecurity.orgsounds like it's worth a shot! i might use some baking yeast to make something until my bait arrives later this week (gosh it feels like forever)
praying it sends a message but i think I'll have to wait for my slug bait to arrive 😩
says a lot about both the ICC and the leader who said it, tbh. bc Africans have BEEN noticing the double standards and side-eying the ICC for ages.
i want to know which leader said this 👀
ICC prosecutor said today on CNN that a world leader told him "This court was built for Africa and thugs like Putin." They're just saying the quiet part loud now.
yeah I ordered an organic one since it wasn't easy to find locally! this one is pet safe and I've heard good things so we'll see!
I have heard of this but I don't drink beer so I don't have any around. I figure I'll just wait for the bait to arrive
I read about that. my garden is too big for it to work but I'll try it on a plant
yeah I read that! we shall see if it'll help. I will put some down today
never thought I'd be a "early morning slug hunting" gardener but here we are!
found two this morning, poured salt on them, and threw their bodies into the street lmaoooo i hate these fuckers eating my shit
so I think the problem with my garden is SLUGS 😭 my poor seedlings I am so sorry
yup
Well that's disappointing. I was enjoying the artwork they were posting. Went to their profile just now to unfollow and this was their last post. Literally as soon as I took this screenshot the profile disappeared.
I hate it so much. idk if they do it more or i notice it more now, but it's so dehumanizing! yet they expect a pat on the back for bringing stuff like this up
I am so sick of white people leading these thought exercises about Black people being brutalized in a parallel universe. Black people are being brutalized RIGHT NOW for merely existing.

www.theguardian.comoooh i have heard good things about Cherokee purple. maybe I'll try it next year. will def share how the harvest moon tomatoes taste this summer!
