It's 1:45 on Friday afternoon. It's been cool and rainy for the last few days. Now the weather outside is some of the best we've had this year. I'm having trouble paying attention to work, is what I'm saying.

I literally ordered this for my bar last week, lol. Evergreen.

As a reminder to all my trans friends, you are quite visible. Don't think you can get away with invisible transgender hijinks.

I couldn't help but think of @miamurphy.com when I saw this.

I feel individually called out by this Far Side comic.

Right now is a confusion time for a non-sports-follower to be on Bluesky. With hockey, basketball, and now baseball all going on simultaneously, I'm left to wonder which sport each friend is frustrated or excited about now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The little grabby hands! [faints from the cuteness]

and as ian goes on to note, they spend a lot of time personally replying to trans people to say "nuh-uh, we're never wrong & we're not mad - you would have seen it in the paper if we were mad." and y'all are still out here with your subscriptions & wordle & spelling bee shit because...why?

Denmark, are you OK?

Reach out to your state electeds and ask for a progressive vehicle weight fee like Washington DC

Wake up. New reason to live cash-free just dropped.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

You gotta love how Kit's mind works.

You know, @velveteenmango.bsky.social, your birthday's coming up.

At least three of you have told me blushing is a real thing, so I'm embarrassed by my inability to do so. But you can't tell by looking. 😳

@velvethex7.bsky.social brought this completely accurate list of Michigan's 11 seasons to my attention.

A "mood ring for rich people" may be the best description of the stock market I've ever heard.

Hank has entered his apprentice phase. Soon he'll be a licensed plumber.

Until ~2 years ago, I assumed love at first sight was a phenomenon invented for poems & fiction. Then I learned those like me who need a close connection before feeling romantic love are demiromantic. Apparently most people are alloromantics and *can* fall in love at first sight. It's a real thing.

I often read descriptions of blushing in fiction, sometimes with the color extending down the chest. I can't recall if I've ever seen anyone blush, but I'm confident I never have. Is blushing a real thing, and I'm just not capable of it, perhaps because my emotions are so muted?

My conservative nutjob half-brother mistakenly believes that we’re friends & likes to text me. His texts are capitalized like Trump’s Truth Social posts, & I’m not sure whether it’s because they are equally inarticulate or because my half-brother is actively emulating Trump. Both options are bad.

BREAKING NEWS: Baby sea otter achieves record breaking levels of cuteness.

The version of "Warriors" (the She-Ra reboot's theme) sung by Catra voice actress AJ Michalka is a surprising banger. Her wonderful voice & the more sophisticated instrumentation really take this song to new heights. The line of Catra dialog at the end is a nice touch. DT: @lohlaster.bsky.social.

What a terrible idea.

It's a shame we don't have many trams/streetcars and that the ones we do have are so poorly run. I've become totally tram-pilled recently.

My "favorite" part of Trump's post is that he still doesn't know what a strait is, despite everyone around him showing him maps of one every day.

Good for you Panchito

Good news for all my fellow Legends & Lattes fans.

When did your obsession with hot toxic women begin?

If I can donate to support this worthy cause, y’all can, too.

I have a scientist joke, but you're in the control group.

This is insane.

It was 67 °F (19.5 °C) here 2 days ago. We got snow last night, and graupel (a form of precipitation I never knew of until I moved to the Mitten State) was falling when I arrived at work this morning. Go home, Mother Nature, you're drunk.

Words of wisdom to live by: Cooking breakfast is kinda goated. Consuming nutrients daily goes hard. Eating is based.

I parked behind this car at the grocery store. I was tempted to peek inside but decided it was wiser not to.

Seriously. Give yourself the gift of setting that down.
