By popular demand, in addition to the new Space Pride flag as an ACTUAL flag, I've started crafting some of the other pride flags out of real space images. I'm hoping to have something for everyone by Pride month. Check back from time to time for new additions! betterthanember-shop.fourthwall.com

I'm not saying there should be a coordinated national strike. I am saying that "I'm sorry; there's an Ice storm. I can't come in" is an absolutely legitimate thing for a person to do Considering the weather across the US.

2024: Rachel Lense created a Pride flag out of NASA pics. 2025: The incoming presidential administration deleted it. 2026: Ember tracked down the constituent images, rebuilt the composite, and added additional images to update the flag to the more inclusive, current version. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ For science!

A scapegoat is customarily assigned blame for something they are NOT doing, so that the people who are can avoid justice.

2025? Pft. SO last year.

Just unsub, Donald. You don't have to cry about it.

What do you mean the paint store doesn't sell garlic bread?

User name interactions are purely coincidental

Here's the thing: they could have just not released certain documents. Most people would NEVER know. Part of the playbook is rubbing your face in the obvious corruption, like releasing 100 pages that aren't even redacted, just black. It's 👏 a 👏 tactic 👏

When the racists inevitably start trying to use today's shooting near Sydney for their disgusting propaganda, remember: the guy who STOPPED a shooter is a Muslim. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUEc...

Of course he cut MLK and Juneteenth. Of COURSE he made his own birthday a "holiday" It's minor compared to all the straight up evil, but ffs www.usatoday.com/story/travel...

Electricity is generated by god-magic. Denying me a PhD for this top tier dissertation would be infringing on the religious freedom of all Americans, right?

The Red Hats are mad after realizing THEY are the "DEI" in universities.

Dear invisible something: I'm sorry I haven't lived up to your moral standards. I haven't murdered any babies as you've commanded. I haven't taken any slaves, as you've commanded. Surely, my weakness has led to such wickedness. Can you ever forgive me? ...and how could I ever know, if you did?

I'm not sure they got enough back-and-forth to air the episode, but I'll take the W.

Remember when Conservatives understood that sometimes "at birth" isn't relevant to a person's life TODAY? Pepperidge Farms remembers. (Prager posted this in July 2025)

I'm still not convinced Nancy IS biological. If it talks like a bot and posts like a bot... I'm just saying, adding a Captcha at the entrance might go a long way to keeping women safe

To clarify: #maga says 13 year olds are "grown women" but 36 year old fans of the moustache man are "just kids"?

Alberta's use of the Notwithstanding Clause isn't a "de facto" admission their anti-trans legislation violates human rights. It isn't a "tacit" admission. It's a declaration: Alberta is violating human rights. #alberta #elbowsup #canada #transrights

It's wild that anybody expected anybody to be surprised. They knew the whole time. It was always projection. Always a scapegoat for what they were doing themselves. And we knew that. And they knew we knew. #trump #maga #savethechildren

I don't want to hear another WORD about "gender" from the people who can't tell the difference between a child and a woman

But, her emails? #epstein #trump #emails

The only thing unexpected was the random timing. It was never about "principles" - modern Republicans don't even know what those are.

The Internet is healing

It's true the "researcher" screwed up the data, and that even if the graph weren't fractally wrong, that isn't what it says, and also people have a REASON to not want to be out right now... BUT, hear me out: if we give them this, maybe they'll finally leave us the hell alone.

BREAKING: Glinner Got Got www.tiktok.com/@betterthane...

"a student," "a journal," and a proposed edit (among other things) walk into a bar. Pinker is spreading unverifiable rumors as "evidence." His commitment to science is truly unfathomable.

Hate can't win if we don't comply

The Viking cheerleader thing is wild. The people who were BIG mad "European" males weren't featured in every single thing are now furious because... peach-toned males are now featured in a thing they really were previously excluded from?

It's slow going, but it IS spreading. Who says small creators can't change the world? #NatCs #yourvoicematters

It's a long tradition!

Because I'm TOTALLY incapable of focusing on what I'm actually supposed to be doing... I make biology memes.

First they came for the immigrants and the trans people. Then they came for reproductive rights and marriage equality. Now they're coming for the homeless, the ill, the infirm. This poem only has so many lines. We're running out of time.

Have y'all heard about this?? Are you goth flavored? Do you have punk vibes? Are you... curious? 😉 If you can get to Syracuse, NY near the end of October, you can catch this inaugural event - and I'll be there too, with a Nococon booth! Come engage with a community made of cool - if you dare! 👻💀🎃👀

A follower of Kent's accidentally gave me my new favorite Bible verse. It's a BIG part of why I do what I do. And if you'd like to help me not die so I can continue to do it, you can: gofund.me/757a6b6a

If you haven't seen the Ark Protest yet, here's your invitation: youtu.be/h4_1hRwZV9Y?...

People: extraterrestrials and humans will inevitably go to war. That's what always happens when apex species encounter each other. Me, thinking about the first time humans encountered another apex species...

If a person says: "it's an irreversible procedure with a high regret rate" They better be talking about bombing a nation that didn't even threaten the US.

We need allies to know hate isn't just jerks in red hats being rude. open.substack.com/pub/betterth... #transgender #intersex #discrimination

I know y'all love a good fact check, so here's one: the US Army was established June 3, 1784. The *Continental Army*, which WAS established June 14, 1775, had been disbanded the previous year. He was 11 days late for the Army's 241st birthday - but what are numbers to a guy who bankrupted a casino?

Ours cost a lot less, too.

The fact this chud appealed to AI to try to turn me into something I'm not is hilarious. Assisted reality denial?
