YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Had a (low, thankfully) ladder rung break out from under me last night. I've got a hematoma on my ribs, a skinned shin & may or may not have broken a toe. AND YET! Despite them being the longest they've been in years, I didn't break a single nail!

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Crabs! 🦀 #art

I stepped onto the plane today at just about noon. I stepped off a 4:15. We only spent 1.5hr in the air.

California-based artists and creatives, the California government is asking for public input on AI's impact on our work. Please fill out this survey, it'll just take a few minutes: join.engaged.ca.gov/en/projects/...

NOTICE: Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC? Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program. If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

I legit struggle with the thought that it will soon be, if it isn’t already, borderline impossible to explain to younger generations that the internet used to be wild and beautiful and that software used to just work

I was born with black hair, it fell out & grew in red, then I was blond, then it darkened over the years & now I'm a dark brunette so I've almost come full circle. But yeah, I was a blue-eyed blond toddler but I've had green eyes & brown hair since (pics are both me as a child, Oct '94 vs Sept '98)

Just a lil' Gandalf to start the day:

I like ichthyosaurs, they are like if a lizard was also a tuna

Another thing to remember: this was the era when they were still hand-weaving ROM. It was a job women did. And, when they wanted to erase it & reuse the parts, they sometimes employed housewives to strip it apart at home & then turn in the pieces as a way to make a little extra money.

So, last week my mom noticed that the floor in our bathroom sounded weird when you walked on it so we called maintenance & they said yeah, there's moisture under there. Today they came & pulled up the entire floor to find the leak & dry out the floors

Well this is delightful: a woman getting her Masters in Archives and Preservation reached out to me because she's creating a digital collection of pictures of birds on statue heads taken from around the world. You can submit yours here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Oh this bill sounds amazing. Please spread the word and call your reps to tell them to VOTE YES for HR 4678 💜 this would be a huge anti-censorship win.

Getting people to actually go to *websites* is like pulling teeth these days, but I swear you guys are missing out on so many great comics if you never leave social media apps.

I would like to thank whoever was in charge of the NFL draft broadcast this year for ACTUALLY KEEPING THAT SHIT MOVING & ON SCHEDULE FOR ONCE and not running over by an extra HALF HOUR or more both Thursday & Friday, delaying my local news two nights in a row as has happened the last *several* years

Today I turned 33.333... years old, officially making me a third of a century old

On the one hand, it took me almost two years to get past my mental inertia & actually buy the graphic novels I've been meaning to get On the other hand, thanks to Xmas/bday gift cards accumulated in that time, I just paid ≈$17 for ≈$150 worth of books so...

I had to draw this cause it makes me very weepy 💖 #sailormoon #artemisii #fanart

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪

People are headed to the moon!!! 🌎🚀🌙

Well damn. Congrats to the Tumblr user base for complaining so loudly & in such numbers that they got the site to roll back the changes they made within about a day.

Happy Evacuation Day, the anniversary of the end of the Siege of Boston during the Revolution. This - & ONLY THIS - is why parts of Boston have March 17th off. NO OTHER REASON. Nope. None at all. Why would you think that? ☘️ Hey! No! This is about AMERICAN HISTORY! ☘️🌈 No! Stop that! ☘️🌈🇮🇪🍀💚🤍🧡🍀🇮🇪🌈☘️

Signs of spring, ranked. An older comic. Feel free to argue with my ranking.

Love how Oscar voters admitted to just giving Disney the win by default without having seen the movies up for Best Animated Feature, then the Academy added a rule that you have to've actually watched all the movies in a category to vote in said category & since then Disney's lost out 4 years running

I think that if sunfish could, the would be sunbathing in the sky ☁️ #art

Signs we are all too hyper connected: I have routinely had Olympics results spoiled for me. I don't even have to open anything; it's getting pushed to me as "Breaking News" from my *email app*
