It's my birthday on Friday, anything I raise beyond my phone bill ($41.30) will just go to making sure it isn't overwhelmingly depressing (this is the worst time of year in the meat department)

Whew. Listen. When you think about it as infinite grace and infinite compassion, you might start to understand what kind of need we're tapping into here. bsky.app/profile/emil...

I'm going to do my best to alt text this because holy crap, everyone should know.

My regular handstand coach is out of town this month and the substitute has all new cues that are ruining my balance!

Reblogging this again because: People do not know about this. Told 3 cis friends yesterday who care deeply about trans rights, and all 3 were shocked. One has a queer GNC kid, really keeps up on the news, still did not know this. Please tell cis people-- fuck, tell everyone you know about this.

Yah, WSJ, you’re a decade late on this, so let me point you (and anyone else interested) at a much better source of understanding, and without a paywall! www.issendai.com/psychology/e...

*shoves all chips into center of table* “Call”

*walking in a winter wonderland* ME: where's bluebird? BIRD: gone ME: w... who are you? *bird looks around shiftily* BIRD: I'm new bird

this is perfect

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

Netflix Producer: Guillermo… Del Toro: No. Producer: Please. You know it needs to change… Del Toro: IT SAYS HERE IN THE CONTRACT THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTE DIRECTORIAL FREEDOM! Producer: AUDIENCES ARE TOO HORNY FOR THE ALBATROSS!!!!

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

Yes, do that.

If you are in the area and seeing this. Leave. Take your pets, your family, tell your neighbors, and make sure the have a way out. And go.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

95 percent That's... I can't think of anything 95 percent of the public agrees on, when it comes to policy.

This argument is not only continuing in my texts, but getting more spicy as it goes—people are now making a point to bring up interpreters’ ethical obligations

2° outside and my furnace quit working today. and I am trying to get it fixed but I need $125 which I definitely do not have. We have heated mattress pads and lots of duvets, but I more worried about my pipes at this point. If you're able to help out, it is always appreciated. paypal.me/fringee

You’ll never convince me that everyone doesn’t love stickers, so I got a huge number of post-its and sticky page-markers and colored dots for everyone’s stockings

My sister has a strict BYOSS (stocking stuffers) policy for any adult spending Christmas at her house, so I just swung by Daiso to stock up. You are allowed to dump your own toiletries kit into a sock and call it a day, so long as you act surprised and delighted to find it on Xmas morning

If I had to ask the Louvre's permission it would 'kill' my high-end jewelry business!

Hey sorry, I can't come in for my shift today, there were some omens. Yeah, like signs and portents. What? Of course they were fell, I wouldn't be calling out otherwise.

I was invited to a groupchat for federal court certified interpreters, very exciting, and now every day I wake up to 30 new messages arguing about the best way to render ‘pretrial services.’

Reviews are great! Also, tell everyone you know about books you have enjoyed. People are more likely to buy a book vouched for by someone they know, so tell your friends and family and social media followers!

Learned today that “Galápagos” comes from a Spanish word for tortoise, meaning that “Galápagos Tortoise” is, in fact, a tortology

This is what representatives should be doing. Those with the least power, need the greatest protection.

‘Tis the season

Guys there isn’t a billionaire I’m not willing to strip of their wealth. Even if they’re doing things with their money I like.

The #BEASTLab won second place in the departmental holiday decoration contest!

album of holiday songs recorded by bands from coastal New England, "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Innsmouth"

R'yleh bells ring, are you listening?

If Democrats are going to keep acting as if the average American still wants ICE around, maaaan .... I think there's 42 states in play if somebody promises to eradicate ICE completely and leave every single one of these grimdark facesock motherfuckers chained to the wall in Alcatraz's basement

Every few years I get amnesia about how much work holiday baking takes and decide to make a huge variety of things for family and friends, and I’m now well into the sweatshop stage of that project

me when an ai tool offers to "help"

These freaks are all, Republican and Democrat both, convinced that there's a huge pool of voters out there eager to die in agony in order to fuck over trans people. That despite very clear evidence this does not actually win elections, every campaign has to chase this bigot block.

We had a sub in straps class and she thinks she’s about high-average strong, but she’s actually professional-acrobat strong, so I barely survived class (I love her)

Tomorrow the 11th, there will be a markup on various "child safety" bills This is part of the process where they are debated and amended before moving forward It is a good idea to make some rep calls TODAY and make it clear which bills are currently unacceptable and why

GO OUTSIDE AND SPY ON BIRDS THEN REPORT THEM TO A CENTRAL DATABASE

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

It me

you can remove the word "parenting" from this and it all still holds

When the levee breaks... I still can barely comprehend the amount of water coming down the Skagit, and I have been through many floods. Gnarly ones. Just... its almost like not having an anchor or frame of reference.

I was going to keep posting about Frankenstein this afternoon but instead I took a long nap and I do not regret my choices

I’m back to reading Frankenstein. When I stopped, Victor was about to have an actual conversation with his large son for the very first time ever, after abandoning him at birth, seething silently for several years, and making wild and implausible death threats. I’m sure this convo will go great

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

Some judicial officers think it’s funny to make me interpret weird words or idioms and it’s not really as fun a game as they think

I wish more people would test before going, just as a precaution. Even just with a shitty RAT, it's better than nothing. Asymptomatic COVID exists! and if you're sniffly, even if it's not COVID, don't give people con crud. I test with nucleic but recognise it's not affordable or possible for most.
