Today @alyalyoops.bsky.social gives us a look at some short reads for spooky season: @tkingfisher.com's Sworn Soldier series! -JI🐉 "Classic literature, ancient myth, and Lovecraftian horror is a winning combination & highly effective." fantasy-faction.com/2026/sworn-s... #booksky 💙📚🪐 #horrorbooks

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

It's a noble thing to want to be there for our friends and family no matter what. But what if you're not getting that same support back? Relationships might start to feel draining and even hurtful. @sesmith.lol has some advice on how to set some helpful boundaries: www.scarleteen.com/read/relat...

I was sexually abused as a child. I'm not the only person I know who can say that. If I'd been forced to let ANYONE perform that sort of examination in order to play sports, a thing children need for health--both physical and mental? I am not unique. Vote no on unnecessarily traumatizing our kids.

Canadian cartoonists have a killer sense of humor . . . LOL

I need someone to develop an app where I deposit like $100 at the beginning of the year and then when I click on an article that’s behind a paywall they deduct a cost per article for that specific site and send it to the publication rather than expect me to subscribe to 50 outlets.

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

I'll give $100 to the reporter who plants the idea of a Trump tour of swing states to save the party. "Mr. President, many experts are saying that only *you* have the raw charisma to turn this problem around. Will you go work your magic for endangered Republicans?"

Seen a lot of these, but this one is my favourite 😎

Londoners say NO to Ray-Ban pervert glasses

It's not about "fairness in women's sports" any more than it was about "ethics in gaming journalism."

I also want you to have this St Michael defeating a devil that is poised right on the intersection of "aw who's a diddums good boy devil then" and "what the fuck is that, you perv?"

Holy smokes an unreal rendition of "I Will Always Love You" by Cynthia Erivo in Vancouver last night to honor Dolly Parton….incredible

Lake America after one day.

Bay Area friends: A friend found these small kittens behind a gas station and we've been trying to find them a home for almost two months. For now, they live in a small bathroom. Would you consider adopting? They are vaxxed, neutered, and incredibly affectionate. Please help!

Please someone wrap Patrick Stewart in protective padding immediately

This. Please, I'm begging you. If your county's election board has a website, they should have info on it, like early voting locations and # of ballots cast at each location. You can use that to find locations where wait times are shorter. A paper ballot cast in person can't be thrown out.

Dear Humanity, I sincerely apologize for taking the wrong person again. I will be going on a listening tour to hear from the community and promise to do better in the future. Thank you, God
