#promosky looking for moots 😊 ❤️ I’m Mexican/Japanese 💞 Human rights 📚 Reading & learning 🖼️ Art events, museums 📼 Anime (Studio Ghibli, Cowboy Beebop, Cyberpunk) 🎮 Tech & video games 🎵 EDM, ambient, classical, emo/alt, indie, reggae 🌌 Astronomy, astrophysics 🌄 Nature, hiking, camping

I made “hot girls fight fascism” stickers if anyone wants to buy one for $4 🫶 Im going to donate part of the proceeds to an organization that helps immigrant women & children.

Firefox choosing to become an AI browser sucks! Going to have to see if Waterfox and Zen are any good

Im so stoked! I use to love Jones soda as a kid (especially on a hot summer day). If you love Fallout it’s only $20 at Costco, and it comes with a bottle opener!

Playing Cyberpunk or Horizon is exhausting when real life feels dystopian. So I bought Hello Kitty Island Adventure to relax and damn all I do is work!!! But I guess it’s not called Island Vacation

No Spotify wrapped for me this year. I ditched my Spotify subscription to burn CDs. 10/10 very freeing.

I missed getting a San Diego comic-con ticket but I’m still going to go and have fun finding things to do outside/nearby. Going to try and do an Elaina from Lazarus fit 😌

I love old MySpace graphics so I made this :p I’ve seen them be called preppy signs but I’m not sure if it’s even the right term :D

Evolution of the Photoshop Toolbar 0.63 – CS2

I wish I had gaming friends to do release parties with. Do you guys remember standing outside of GameStop for midnight releases? The one near my house would get a DJ for the parking lot 😆

Welp, the federal minimum wage is now officially a poverty wage (as in, a full-time worker earning the federal minimum wage gets paid less than the poverty line for a single person). www.epi.org/blog/the-fed...

I hope I don’t regret ordering a Switch 2 😅 Did anyone else get to preorder one?

🧵 NGC 6302, also known as the Butterfly Nebula, is a remarkable example of how stars, as they age, can take on some nice shapes sometimes resembling flowers or insects. ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap22112... This #Hubble image has been processed to highlight incredible 🔭 🧪 #stellarastro #galactic

🦑 This baby is COLOSSAL! 🦑 First confirmed live observation of the colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, in its natural habitat. Filmed at about 600m near the South Sandwich Islands during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition. youtu.be/lzPoG9H8Hlo

Finally started Lazarus and ofc the soundtrack hits

April’s “Pink Moon” is the first full moon of Spring. Named after pink phlox flowers.

36,000 Angelenos on COACHELLA WEEKEND. Let that sink in…125k people are in the desert this weekend, and LA was still able to amass a crowd this large to support Bernie and AOC’s anti-oligarchy tour.

Bernie speaking at Coachella? Incredible.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Cats

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost. I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

Going to see Bernie and AOC tomorrow in LA 💙

Cuddling a water sausage.

Sometimes, the Moon passes directly in front of the beautiful Pleiades star cluster in a celestial event called an occultation! This composite image from Spain captures the Moon's visit. These monthly occultations last until 2029, then not again until 2042! Credit: Cayetana Saiz

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

I know it might seem simple, but it really matters to tell people they matter. We assume they know, but often they don’t—and hearing it can make a big difference.

President Trump’s seeming determination to keep Chinese EVs out of the US is not stopping BYD’s expansion plans, with the EV giant announcing today that it is bringing its premium sub-brand Denza to Europe. And with these tariffs, the move could not come at a better time for BYD, experts say.

This recession is about to bring LimeWire back

Olivia Munn on the Daily 🫠 youtu.be/xSm4pLJjZMM?...

Sometimes I wish I had a partner because I’m not a crafty person so literally everything I hang up is crooked or janky 😭

Adobe deleting their first BlueSky post because they realize that the artist community pretty much universally hates them now is extremely funny

🐾🐾🤍.

This is high art

Love the creativity of all the signs I’ve seen today! 😂

Some favorite signs from #HandsOff Los Angeles

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

I loved this person:

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

I’m so proud of everyone protesting today 🥹

Hey, if you're protesting today, be safe and careful. Bring water and a snack. Wear a mask in crowds. Don't register to attend and don't take identifiable photos of other protesters without their permission.

ChatGPT consumes so much water and energy each week that it could power entire countries for YEARS and folk act like you told them to kill their selves cause you want them to write their own emails and not to steal art. 😂

Petition to stop calling it “AI art” and instead “AI generated content”
