as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.
Digital artwork of a dnd character, Zephyra, an oath of the open sea paladin. She is a tall woman with a strong, swimmer’s build. She is a water genasi with a tan, human skin tone but the light catches a soft, green shimmer of scales. She has seafood green eyes, a scar on her eyebrow, and a confident, sly smile. Her skin is covered with numerous small scars from her life of being in the sea. One scar trails up her left leg and looks oddly like light scattering across water. Her hair is a sun-kissed, honey brown and is a flowing mass of curls bound only by two gold headbands. Her outfit is inspired by Haenyeo traditional sea diving outfits with a light, tied blouse tucked into dark shorts with a tied waistband. Her shirt has a small ocean coloured capelet which can be tucked into her waistband when she dives. She has an assortment of gold jewelry. She is walking tall and casually holding a large silver trident over her shoulder. In her left hand, she carries a net full of seafood: lobsters, mussels, clams, fish, and crabs. The background mimics a sea green and blue crashing open wave in a blurred, watercolor style.
When I do #art I’m proud of, I have the urge to post it EVERYWHERE. Here’s my latest #dnd character for a Greek gods campaign. She’s (shockingly) Poseidon’s champion. Zephyra is a water genasi, oath of the open sea paladin.
She’s v different than what I normally play- so excited!

Aaaand there it is.
I need TikTok’s algorithm to realize that mentioning something ≠ promoting it. I complained about having to close windows bc cigarette smells gives me headaches and it got restricted for “promoting drug use.”
Like???? That’s the exact opposite of promoting it 😩
The deep irony that I used to so deeply suppress my anger that I claimed I’d “never been angry” and the last few years my energy has only remained bolstered by an ongoing, burning fury of righteous anger is not lost on me.
Oh, how we grow and change.
Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."
THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT.

I would like to point out that if the U.S. gov ACTUALLY cared about increasing the birth rate: universal healthcare (so birth isn’t so expensive), mandated paid parental leave, and investing in the entire education & health systems would be fantastic places to start.
Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.
Two headlines in the New York Times today.
Did the Pope really wait for one more Easter blessing before he passed? That makes me feel emotional and I’m not even Catholic.
I’m tired of tiers of subscription models locking off content I USED to have access to; seriously makes me want use my “scream now” pillow much more often. I’m tired of capitalism 😭
JK Rowling deciding that she also hates ace people wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card but…. Aight, it tracks I guess. 🙄
Can someone take Twitter away from Joanne?
The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim—
Oh.
A white woman with blue eyes and wavy, auburn hair (and new curtain bangs), smiles at the camera. She is sitting in her car and wearing a light green sweater.
Maybe it’s the fall of democracy making me lose it- but I just got bangs in my hair for the first time since I was 7 for a bit of a change (in my control). 😅😬
The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.
It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
:: BREAKING NOW: Multiple polling places across Milwaukee are running low or have run out of ballots as turnout is at record levels.
MKE Election Commission is aware and sending out fresh ballots.
If you are in line -- or know someone who is -- ballots are on the way.
In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”
A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

He’s gonna speak MORE?! Someone pls give that man fluids and a full night’s rest first- I BEG. 😅😭
Seeing our leaders actually do hard things FOR us gives us hope to keep fighting. Thank you @booker.senate.gov for making some good trouble.
#corybooker #senate #goodtrouble
Being able to speak coherently for 22 hrs straight and counting is absolutely wild. I often can’t speak coherently on a full night’s sleep and he’s out here spitting facts and letters and stats. #coreybooker
what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!
GOP leaders tried to block a bipartisan measure to allow proxy voting, but nine Republicans joined with Democrats to overcome it.
Get out and #vote today if you have elections! From municipal to federal, every single election has weight and is important to protect our rights.
Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
only caring about your own rights is exactly how you lose them

it’s friday! you survived another week in the hell simulator.
treat yourself today and don’t forget to DRINK WATER, TAKE YOUR MEDS and VITAMINS.
remember staying alive is resistance 🫡
The challenge with public health is that when it works, it’s invisible. We don’t hear about the cancer caught early, the child who didn’t get sick, or the outbreak contained. But when funding gets pulled and systems break down, consequences become fast-and by then, it may be too late.
@catgyoung.bsky.social
Does it keep popping back up like when IG kept making us refollow the potus and vp accounts? If you cut off one security clearance do two more grow back in its place? 😂
