BREAKING The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Maria Corina Machado for “her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

It's important to focus on who won, not who did not.

Whatever that praying means for you, get it done. That includes scientifically cheering for her wellbeing. Don’t fuss about it, just make good thoughts for a good woman.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

They’ll tell you that the arts & humanities aren’t practical and then …

I’m sorry but the fact that this is not everywhere is kind of malpractice

I know my comic is famed for the gorgeous background drawings of foggy snow covered snowstorms, but the current comic I am working on demanded something else… and I am SO PROUD I managed to draw these forest scenes from scratch 😭😭😭

hello #catsky, I would like this to be a thing so that it can take its place alongside my other poorly drawn plushies. the other two are good and this will also be good. thank you in advance, icarus

I would need to sell a couple of hundred pins this month to fully fund everything I've been aiming to put out pre-christmas. Doesn't seem hugely likely that I'll get all the way there but every little helps!

Re: my last repost. Basically, AI is my narcissistic mother.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Their efficacy was confirmed against LIVE viruses including Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, Hendra, SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), AND Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). The study has been published in Science Advances. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED. • www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪🧵⬇️

hey folks, those in control of Federal Government are doing psychological warfare on you. I need you to recognize this, accept this, and build good tools for yourself - so whatever new PTSD they are giving you can be addressed once it is "post" (it's not PTSD right now... it's straight SD)

I was very honored to create 2 gifts for the #PromptisGiftExchange2025 ! Here is the first for Katsumi_K0811 (I’m sorry I don’t know your username here😬) and I don’t know how this is gonna look so the ao3 link is below

Ghost Baby Clifford is here to announce that it is officially spooky season. Let the festivities commence.

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

This is an abusive relationship. "If we just bend and bend, and be patient and nice, and make ourselves smaller, and give them chance after chance, they'll stop eventually." Dem, no, they're gonna beat your ass to death. Get tf up and out, and fight back. Street, court whatever, take a stand.

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Very happy Stanislav Petrov day - the man who saved every last one of us from becoming thermonuclear barbecue in '83.

Joanna Lumley as Dolly Bantry remains a masterclass of casting.

Don't you dare put that baby in pelican mouth.

“Drat,” said Toad.

Reskeet with your mental state

This is it, but people are too gullible and mindless to realize it.

Ah the internet was once moldable and felt limitless, where each individual experience had the potential to be different! Now we get pushed and pressed into a commercially approved, child-friendly, AI embedded version. A tiny box in the space that used to be.
