It really do recommend making your shitty day the problem of your shitty senator's voicemail every night, it doesn't have to be a chore. It is a actually cathartic

Nobody warned me that when you get a dog you can’t turn off baby talk

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

The thing is, you can't make trans and intersex people nonexistent, you can only make them suffer.

I'm enormously proud of this episode and I'd love you to listen to it. No knowledge of the show required

The German government has committed half a billion euros to research into long COVID and other post-infection syndromes. 👏

First of all, please don't use aneurysms as an analogy. I've had multiple family members die of them. It's not cute. Second of all, men could and should be just as mad about whatever injustice you're referring to.

The Child had their first experience with a piece of entertainment that absolutely petrified them today, and it was the episode of Bob's Burgers where the Thanksgiving turkey keeps ending up in the toilet.

I would like to report that Coco got out of bed at 3:30 am and did not want to go outside. I sat down next to her to figure out what she wanted and she put her head on my shoulder and I gave her a hug for about 30 seconds. Then she turned around and got back in bed.

Trans Day of Remembrance. Pour one out for our trans siblings lost and keep *living* in their honor.

So. Much. Snorting. 😭

if anyone ever tries to convince you not to mask at cons bc wearing a mask makes you less recognizable, I was just recognized at Disney World by someone I larped with at GenCon. ♥️

There’s a baby blanket made by me and a lot of other great items in this year’s Bundled Up on Broad fundraiser auction! Shares appreciated! www.32auctions.com/organization...

Jimmy's back!

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

Can you call Chuck Schumer right now? No matter where you live, can you take a few minutes and tell Schumer that if Senate Democrats cave you will not support Senate Dems as long as he is leader? www.patreon.com/posts/143215...

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

It appears my post yesterday wasn’t groundless. I would STRONGLY encourage everyone to contact Epic Games and ask them to deny this rumor and express your opinion about Harry Potter. The only contact information I can find for now is: [email protected] If anyone can find better…

Would you like to see a very sweet dog at the shelter where I volunteer? She has been at the shelter too long and really needs to find a home. I think she's part Greyhound. www.koin.com/video/second...

Today (it started hours ago in Australia) is World Wombat Day. These lovable beasts are facing formidable challenges--habitat destruction, cars, mange--leaving 2 of the 3 species endangered. There are many rescues devoted to aiding wombats either coming out of the wild or going in. Check 'em out!

Friends, don't watch 2011's Enter Nowhere. Turns out the end is all about rehabilitating the image of a ww2 nazi soldier?? Definitely a huge waste of 90 minutes.

The fact that Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan have written a book together has changed my day. Everything is brighter. Finally, there will be a book that makes you really sad but...this time, you won't know why.

"a test"? you mean...a violation?

saw someone arguing that MTG's anti Israel noises suggest that she's a more reliable moral voice longterm than most centrist Ds, and...like, people really need to acknowledge just how antisemitic she is and what role that plays in her approach to Israel policy. 1

I'm watching Nobody Wants This and I just find myself wishing it had been written by the Rabbi and not the goyishe girlfriend? Like I'm only 2 eps in but she kinda obviously hates Jews other than hot rabbi and I don't think she realizes she hates Jews. This has been your one year late hot take

i just wanted you to see this picture of my son being a little baby. #cat #catsky

Just wanted to say I love dogs and thinking about dogs and how their brains work all the time is keeping me going. This is Sailor. She's 5 and she's a very good and fun girl! Also I wrote her bio and I am proud of it. southwesthumane.org/adopt/pet-de...

Just because you thought you found a great career in your 30s, don't stay in it if it's making you miserable. It wasn't a waste of time. Now you know more about yourself and that career.

“All of this feels ridiculous because that’s exactly what it is. But the larger goal is to inure you to the strangeness of it all so that when these products — be they movies, shows, or TikToks — finally come to market, your reaction is ‘Sure, why not?’”

From stage left, the gray squirrel greets you ... "Keep moving --- body, mind, spirit --- whichever you can move at the moment!" #Sqrlpix

I feel constantly surprised and angry obviously. Like what, the federal government can't just issue a press release saying "the radical left democrats shut down the government." That's so wildly not normal. Not okay.

IT'S HERE: My new zine, The Mitzvah of Anti-Zionism, is available for purchase! Zines are a way to put your passion into the world, and I am passionate about Judaism and Palestinian liberation, so this zine explores those topics together. $2, free shipping, US only. Shares appreciated! #zines

This is fucked. It makes me think about how the right's antisemitism is giving fodder to the left's antisemitism, so basically all the antisemites are on the same team, not helping to stop Israel. (This is not specific to this post, just an accumulation of what I've been thinking about today)

One of my favorite things about NYC is the subway. Especially the old tiled stations with their gorgeous tile mosaics, so I wanted to honor those with this year’s NYCC exclusive! Introducing Borbs of the Boroughs! #art

New favorite t-shirt.

So human actors should be able to sue companies that make AI actors just like dairy companies can sue vegan companies for using the words milk and butter.

It's absolutely wild when they say the book Gender Queer is pornographic. Like, i guess that means they find discussions of traumatic gynecologist visits to be porn? And that's pretty weird.

Hey if you missed last week’s Varietopia, you can still get the archived livestream. YOU DESERVE THIS bit.ly/vstream92125

This is so wildly important. Israel has maintained a military occupation/dictatorship in the West Bank and Gaza for decades BECAUSE IT CAN. If and when the world starts to withdraw its collaboration, it won't be able to anymore. [1/2]

I'm sorry to everyone in Portland getting calls from their family about their war torn city. Luckily I don't think anyone we're related to knows where Vancouver, WA is.

Donkeys at my local animal sanctuary having a party to celebrate one of them living there for 20 years.

A dove of peace for anyone who is feeling frightened, anxious or sad about the state of the world around them today.

How fucking cool is this @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at Rosh Hashanna services and EVERYONE WAS MASKING! Kolot Chayeinu was one of the first synagogues to call for ceasefire. “The rabbi spoke extensively about the war in Gaza, calling Israel’s campaign a genocide.”
