Man that is NOT gonna turn out for you the way you think

please help little Odai if you can 🫶♥️

Somehow, this is my first introduction to Dutch Bros. It is... A Lot.

A very sweet friend just showed up with something called a "jingle chai nog" (???) and birthday doughnuts and now we're going to meander in a nursery. I feel so seen.

tfw you're married to the brother in the folgers ad. you know the one.

There are decent men who get divorces, but at the moment there's a cleansing midlife fire going through my social circle that's taking out every shitty "why are you dating him???" boyfriend of 10-20 years ago who became a shitty husband. I'm so happy for the women taking care of themselves.

This was just sent to me by an LAUSD parent. A 4th grader was assigned to design a book cover for Pippi Longstocking using Adobe for Education. Here is what the AI tool generated:

insane local news just dropped. i've lived in a part of KC for ~decade and it's been an inside joke with friends and service workers that the local biz/party district is ran by a cartel of biz owners who bully out new ventures and replace them with generic dive bars for white suburbanites. Well UH

this isn't in any way, shape, or form gender theory like Oklahoma dOGE screeches it is. There are 2 Spirit people who wear ribbon skirts. That makes them gender FACT. Link to Oklahoma dOGE post in comments. Link to purchase The Ribbon Skirt by Cameron Mukwa: shop.scholastic.com/parent-ecomm...

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The sheriff in this is an absolute monster. Drop the population by 140 a day? Is he innumerate? What is he going to do, deport everyone? There are only 84K people in the whole county.

So. The water heater appears to be dead. We're going to try to get someone out to look at it, but looking at replacement costs there is literally no way we can replace it. Our credit card is maxed from medical bills. This is going to be an extra cold, shitty winter.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Someone shows up at a chess game, and shoves the knight up their nose and declares themselves the winner. When everyone starts to laugh uncomfortably, he asks a drawing of a pigeon if he's right.

Bruce piled the dog bed and cat bed on top of the hallway vent and then climbed inside his pile. I feel like there's a passive aggressive message here about the thermostat.

In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able. As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important. Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.

we've got $175 going to pau some bills but we still need $165 ro pay the rest of the utility bill and some more for next month's housing because I couldn't take the full amount out of this check or last check.

Tomorrow IRL markets in Philly start, which means a bunch of squid facts shop items will sell out! We have a few Biology is Bigger than Binaries shirts (designed by @franzanth.bsky.social) left. They're comfy & colors printed great! Once they're gone that's it. Get 'em now: SquidFacts.net

also I really need to get a cup that holds as much tea as my teapot, because currently I'm splitting each steep between two cups and then double-fisting them so they remain the same strength and temperature throughout yes I have a very normal relationship with tea

Shooting for six cups of tea today. Maybe some bonus herbal stuff at bedtime. Gonna be so hydrated and warm.

”you can’t put lipstick on a pig” yes I can. this pig is serving fish now. look at it, it’s having a great time. we’re doing falsies next.

I love it when somebody tries to be pedantic for the wrong reasons. "Don't call the mountain range between Nevada and California 'the Sierras', that's wrong..." Right, that isn't the name. "...because Sierra is singular." uhhhhhhh kind of the opposite, actually?

kirk and spock fight in the sand, both grappling for the penis

This kinda got buried yesterday when we posted it and could use some more people sharing and getting excited because ummmmm new Sunny Moraine??? Exorcism bondage? Are you fucking serious omg

Our new Flowing Fabric reference pack will still be dropping this week, just a little late. One more sneak peek in the meantime. 💗💕

SHATNER'S BIG NATURALS DETECTED

I was working on my TimAllensBigSupernaturals code to improve it to the point I can run entire movies/episodes through it, and this early test of decode->reencode functionality ran into a minor glitch. See if you can spot it in this clip from Amok Time!

Chekov's nipple is relevant in the third act

Finished at last!!! Full WIP and high-resolution download available on my patreon www.patreon.com/melissahudson

A note about the new PNW ferns stickers is that they have clear backing, so the white peels completely away to reveal only the fern itself. More info: 🌿 Transparent Premium PET Permanent adhesive 🌿 2-4 year outdoor life with glossy laminate only 🌿 PVC free product 🌿 dishwasher safe, water resistant

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

heads up, writers—this is the new version of the “I turned your webcam on and I have a video of you jerking off” scam

Utterly obscene

So after all of their primary expenses are covered they would have a *disposable income* of $12,000 to $33,000 per year. Folks, if your food, shelter, healthcare and childcare are covered and you still have money leftover what exactly makes you precarious?

he doesnt know nobody tell him *whistles the day the nazi died*

This is as expected. What we're not gonna do is give up on Texas. It is not a red state, it is a vote suppressed and gerrymandered state. Our job now in caring for each other is to find out how we can help get out the vote in Texas. I suggest following @andreagrimes.com

remember Adriana Smith, the woman who was denied care and then had her body used as an incubator due to Georgia’s heartbeat bill? The baby they removed from her is still NICU and her family (who is forced to pay for all of this) hasn’t hit the goal on her gofundme. www.gofundme.com/f/help-adria...

Please help my friend El. It's a bad time of year for many of us, but keeping El safely housed is a huge priority to me, El is a wonderful, giving friend and really needs things to go right on their path to recovering their health.

Which was also under Donald Trump.

Events like this underscore the importance of adding Nevada to the ShakeAlert program to ensure we can provide the fastest and most accurate earthquake alerts for Nevadans.

The warning for an M5.9 earthquake near Dayton, NV this morning was an incorrect alert issued by the USGS ShakeAlert program. None of the stations in the Nevada Seismological Laboratory network detected any large earthquakes in Nevada this morning.

The earthquake was near Reno in Nevada, apparently. I hope everybody's okay, but I'm 230 miles away on the other side of the Sierras. I did not need a warning about a 5.9 earthquake that far away.

I...was not expecting an alert that I am GOING to experience an earthquake.

The chatgpt part is bad, but what's worse is that it took him stalking eleven women and harassing countless more for him to be arrested. He should have been stopped at one, and that is a failure of the justice system not taking crimes and threats against women seriously, not chatgpt.

Bingo. That's what grinds my gears about making this into an "oh no data centers" problem. That implies that it's new, & restricted to where there are data centers. Absolutely not the case. This is bog standard for rural areas with a lot of livestock, & has been for decades.

Can we help my friend and fellow Rook stay warm this winter? 💜

Call me old-fashioned but I don't think machines should have a "do crimes" button

Wolves need a good PR campaign. While I appreciated the metaphor in the recent Frankenstein movie, I did roll my eyes pretty hard at the wolf scenes. theconversation.com/how-hollywoo...

This stunning 1984 poster was created from a 1983 photograph taken by Tseng Kwong Chi of totally nude dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones painted from head to toe by Keith Haring. Jones’s body became a literal canvas for Haring. emuseum.mfah.org/objects/1595... #art #photography #80s #LGBTQIA

Sudden leftovers intolerance is as lifestyle-bending as PEM, tbh. My entire diet previously consisted of big pots of things, reheated for days. BUT NO. Noooo. My body had to decree we were going on the expensive groceries plan.
