BREAKING: Senate investigating Elon Musk over cutting off Starlink satellite internet services to Ukraine during Ukrainian offensive strikes against Russia.

Senator Jack Reed, chair of Senate Armed Services Committee, announced the probe.

Is Elon Musk helping Putin?

Unpopular opinion: The burgeoning US-ian Halloween obsession is due in equal parts to growing up with Disney's Haunted Mansion (est. 1969) and growing up surrounded by a national death cult (est. earlier).

4 yrs ago today, instead of going straight from my car into Marshall's to buy sneakers, I veered off into the PetCo next door. They were having an adoption event. ZOMG THERE WERE PUPPIES EVERYWHERE. I was defenseless. I brought this beautiful 9 month old orphaned bebe home with me. (She had survived parvo but her mama hadn't.) She's almost 5 now & still hasn't grown out of her puppy phase. & that's OK! ❤️ #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #BelgianMalinois #HEYLADYWHEREAREWEGOING

I love Halloween! It's the one time of year that I'm allowed to scare children. All the other times people get upset.

Holy Shit, I know someone who is currently on a flight from DC to Denver with Lauren Boebert.

What would you do?

I've gotten a good number of new followers lately & I never did this when I joined, so maybe it's time for an intro post:

I'm Mo or Ranyart, either works! I'm trans & queer, living in San Francisco with my partner Enne and our elderly grandma cat Milly.

My main hobbies are handspinning/knitting, cooking, and photography, and I post about all of those here.

I am still finding my footing here socially, and I can be shy at times, but I'm chatty and friendly at heart so feel free to say hello!

Freedom of speech isn't free from repercussions. That's why everyone who works in retail doesn't tell you to go fuck yourself.

Heading home and may not be online later. So goodnight everyone.

Autistic me
Is very much the only me
There are others I pretend to be
To show what others want to see
I wish that I could always only be
Autistic me.

I love (actually hate) how folks are like "Oh, so many changes these days! All these words used to be okay, and now they aren't! So new!"

Those words were never "okay" they were coined by individuals and governments engaged in slavery and colonization. The words were racist back then, they didn't "become" racist between then and now just because you learned a fact.

Funny Transformers idea -

Unicron is coming, everybody is freaking out, lots of shots of him approaching the planet ominously... but when he gets there, it turns out he's the size of a beach ball and just starts nomming on the ground and angrily threatening doom to all the transformers towering over him.

Then a squirrel attacks him.

Rep. Garcia called for an investigation into fraudster Jared Kushner to determine the circumstances behind a $2 billion pay out to Kushner from the Saudi Government just months after leaving the Trump White House.

The case for the investigation by stating that:

Kushner pushed his way into a job in his father-in-law’s administration with no experience.
Kushner prioritized pushing out the Secretary of State in order to “cozy up” to the Saudi Government.
There are records of a $110 billion arms deal between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia that was inflated at the direction of Kushner.
Months after Kushner’s departure from the White House, the Saudi crown prince overruled his own investment advisors and sent $2 billion into Kushner's companies' bank account.

Subtootin' the obvious here but

Nazis aren't the big problem.

The problem is "nice" people who reinforce the status quo.
