*someone pisses me off* hey watch out buddy, or I’ll take you to

at a recent speech therapy appointment they did the thing where they asked me to make connections between pictures of objects and let me tell you i have never in my life felt more autistic than in that moment

i've this little unhealthy-doubt voice in my brain that often says "how can i be 100% sure it's NOT this thing?" that keeps me very anxious about a ton of stuff that frankly is not worth being anxious over i think if i name that voice RFK it might make it easier to ignore

only learned it was nonbinary people's day yesterday at 9pm from a minecraft mod of all things

Wasn’t debunking this idea the entire point of the “girl dinner“ meme?

sorry to vaguesky but I saw someone whose work has meant quite a bit to me personally sharing that their accomplishments affirm, for them, only their own feeling of uselessness. In empirical fact when we feel useless it is an illusory feeling. we have to Internalize and know this.

what i'd like to contribute to the ongoing masculinity discourse is that the truest sign of a fella's manfulness isn't his strength or his height or his successes with women. it's not about his job or how he dresses. it's about whether he has a cell-level desire to dig a big hole at the beach

This is a really useful post about what you need to know about Cyclospora. I learned things. You will too

Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"

Charles R. Knight was so great at granting his prehistoric animals a sense of life, but I'm also a huge fan of the landscapes that he put them in. They remind me of old paintings of the American West that attempted to blend the mythic and the knowable. It nurtures the subjects of the paleoart.

i'm still doing research on the guy so i don't want to share who yet, but i may have stumbled onto someone who uses the aesthetics of the manosphere "self-improvement" chuds to like... give men advice they'd get at therapy. teach them empathy and self-compassion

because our teleprompter hates formatting at work we use /this/ to mean italics (aka "put emphasis on this word") and it would be such a useful shorthand to apply to other parts of my life (texts, this website) would love if we adopted this as a society tbqh

Me anytime a movie is more than 90 minutes

Somebody about to make a whole bunch of money on Polymarket: Hey Taylor, do you know who would be GREAT for officiating your wedding?

celebrating the good parts of america today. if you don’t think there are any good parts, just look to all the stuff the fascists are desperate to stifle

i’m sorry but farming is cheating. you didn’t scavenge those cucumbers, you grew them in your field on purpose and “found” them later. and that’s bullshit

schism might invalidate those priests’ marriages They’re tradcath! This is the only way those couples could divorce!

Trans rights are human rights.

If you are trans and you want to play sports I want you to know there will always be spaces for you even if this government tries to tell you at school you are not welcome. Sports are for everyone. I promise.

The Supreme Court today ruled 6-3 for the plaintiff in Scrooge v. Tiny Tim, et al., paving the way to remove federal and state restrictions on sheer callousness and wanton cruelty. Sotomayor penned the dissent for the three liberal justices, arguing that good is better than evil.

New video! Oops, a massive company seems to have been posting falsified images as "verification" data for important lab reagents. Big thanks to @reeserichardson.bsky.social for sitting down to talk to me about all this. youtu.be/loTrVK80WoY

*taps microphone* Is this thing on?? I AM LOOKING FOR SCIENCE HISTORIANS. IF THAT IS YOU PLEASE WAVE AT ME OR YELL LOUDLY IN MY DIRECTION! (It's for a wee little side project)

incredible upload on the wiki commons page for antibodies, no notes upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...

Today in "I have a weak autobiographical memory:" Proofing an episode for work. Could have sworn I hosted it. See Hank on screen instead. Feel like I'm crazy. Turns out I had worked on the images/graphics for the episode.

Do it do it do it!!

unironically googling off-the-grid cpap

I do not need. An AI assistant. For my [expletive] CPAP MACHINE.

Sharing for absolutely no reason that there is really really promising research that GLP-1 drugs help with dementia

One thing they don’t tell you about getting older is that you can feel hungover after a night out even if you drank exactly zero ounces of alcohol

Some amazing behind the scenes look at the practical effects on Fallout! It's great to see this kind of artisry filming in Los Angeles! #filmsky #moviesky #behindthescenes

Public comments might seem hopeless with an Administration hell-bent on destroying US science. But I've learned that these all contribute to the evidentiary basis for future litigation. Even if this asinine rule goes through, your comments can help our lawyer friends defeat it in court

it truly is one of the sadder features of soil science that a "pedon" is the smallest three dimensional unit of soil... and that a lot of soils science words are derived from it in ways that make it wildly awkward to non-soils people.

I have the Rode Go mics through work. They work as lavs, but theres a separate attachment to use them as a handheld news-looking mic. The handheld mode ALWAYS sounds better, and not everyone is going to shell out the extra money for that

How do I politely let the arcade people know that the noise from the life-size* hungry hungry hippos game makes the adjacent DDR machine borderline unplayable? (*if the hippos were on the smaller end of pygmy hippos)

VCG commentator just referred to Sneasler/Weavile as “rabbits.” They’re weasels, right? Am I crazy?

a few years ago i heard the pokemon DLC was going to be entirely doubles and was genuinely like "crap, what if i can't beat it" and this year i've made it to master ball tier in pokemon champions i say this unironically: i am using this as proof that I can learn and do hard things

has any man ever been more vindicated? x.com/stuartbuck1/...

Once got a comment on SciShow about how if we positioned the cord on our lav mics THIS way then we wouldn’t get that rubbing noise We use a boom mic I have no idea what that guy was hearing

Took me literally three minutes!

oh these go so hard

is it normal to cry because you're getting so frustrated trying to figure out who to vote for in a primary? I'M definitely not crying. i'm just asking if it's normal

ANYWAY I posted this today. It’s a lot sillier than my usual stuff. The TikTok AI bot got hyperfixated on “varieties of grains” and told me talking about grains would potentially violate community guidelines. It’s giving ChatGPT ”goblin.” It’s giving Grok South Africa debacle. youtu.be/0uhlD4fA13Q

ngl YouTube studio, I have no idea what you’re saying but that does in fact seem like an issue

What if I completely obliterate the “brand” of my personal YouTube channel by making a deltarune theory video next month haha unless…
