October is Gate Safety Month Large gates can fall off their tracks if they are not installed properly or do not have safety features. If there is a large gate somewhere in your community, be aware of these risks.

Get your pumpkin carving kit *now* before it's later tonight and you convince yourself a steak knife will work just fine, but it won't and you'll be posting on Bluesky saying, "I just lacerated myself carving a pumpkin. CPSC is going to be so disappointed in me :( "

Roman CPSC 🤝 Modern CPSC "We need to do something about these satchel-related injuries."

Bold assumption that I’d need a pumpkin , when I’ve mangled myself just attempting to retrieve a pocket knife from my satchel. Good thing I have a first aid kit , *also* in my satchel.

If you're engaging in amateur Halloween sculpture this weekend, be sure to use a pumpkin carving kit. It's Knife Ghost season!

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

If the door falls off your refrigerator, check to see if it was recalled! If not, report it to us on SaferProducts.gov!

Tomorrow, you borrow my ladder. You borrow my ladder and you give him the test. If he doesn't set up that ladder correctly for you, so you can climb safely - dump him. If he doesn't set up that ladder safely for you, it means he's a selfish man and you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

big rock big water 🪨🌊 (they/them)@bigrockbigwater.bsky.social

One time my ex set up a ladder for me and I climbed it and fell from the 5th rung because he just set the latches on the rung, not hooked them. I still have a scar on my leg, I was 16. Moral of the story, dump him before he dumps you off a ladder and you have to dump him 10 years later anyways 😂
