@duanescottcerny.bsky.social I just finished selling dead people's things on audio.
Thanks for all the tales.
Thank you Judy!
Let's be clear: banning mifepristone = a national abortion ban.
Mifepristone has been safe, effective and FDA-approved for 20 years.
Extremists won’t stop until abortion is banned everywhere. I'll keep fighting to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide.
Have you seen the news?
Let's not rule anything out.
I just learned that Anthony Bourdain was 44 when he wrote the book that really launched everything we will remember him for.
Gonna remind myself of this whenever I feel like I'm getting too old to pursue anything new.
I see a bunny smoking a spliff.
Thor's Helmet, taken from my balcony
Thor’s Helmet (NGC 2359) is an emission nebula in the Canis Major region, visible only for a short period during the winter season. It also remains quite low on the horizon, right in the middle of the light-pollution belt. These are nearly 21 hours of integrated exposure. 🔭

Did you read the Social Contract by Rousseau?
Republicans Think What ICE Is Doing Is Just “A Little Hiccup” With Latino & Hispanic Voters: Speaker Johnson said Republicans have had just “a little hiccup” with Latino & Hispanic voters because of immigration enforcement. Wrong Mike Johnson. Masked federal thugs lawlessly roaming our streets…
They take your kids...
Free babysitting! This just keeps sounding better and better...
Ps. My whole trip to the DMV took less than 10 mins, photo, vision. No appointment.
I got my DL renewed at the DMV.
One of the questions one has to answer is: have you been interned to a mental health facility by the state for at least 2 weeks in the last 6 months?
Me: No! but that sounds lovely. Can you put me down for maybe in the future.. 2 week all inclusive vacation...

A beautifully kept copy of the 1920-ish Grosset & Dunlap edition of "The Haunted Bookshop" by Christopher Morley. The jacket is freshly covered in a protective sleeve, and the book came professionally wrapped in brown paper and bubble wrap, with a free (and very striking) bookmark. This was a very well packaged book!
Just want to give a shout out to our neighbors Source Bookstore in Davenport, Iowa, who sent this surprise package to us.
This is so thoughtful! I love that my colleagues are so kind 📚❤️
As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.
Administration: It's unfair to criticize members of ICE because there are good people working for them.
Me: The fact that they're willingly working for ICE is prima facie evidence that their status as "good people" is questionable.
It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.
While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.
Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.
I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.
Excuse me, it's it the Department of War?
I plan on taking my father with me. That's 2 votes.
Take 2 people with you, now you can each feel confident in 3x the votes.
Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.
You are giving me hope.

In support of stand up for science here is an image of galaxy M51. Beautiful night. Clear and no moon
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.
We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.
Reminds me of how I desire to write "confessions of a love lorne stripper" but characterizing it as not not semi autobiographical, but i was thinking about killing off a few characters.
Some days I think I could actually make money as a writer/publisher who hadn't selected a super niche genre to publish, you know, like one I didn't have to explain to people what it actually was before they bought it.
But dang, it would be less fun.
And I think writing and reading ought to be fun!
