Finally got my hands on a copy of Heated Rivalry (the book) and gotta say that the writing is not to my taste.

hi everyone. welcome to 4/20. here is my edibles for newbies guide: start with 2.5mg of thc your first time and don't take more for 2 hours. if you are in really bad pain and are okay risking getting too high to get relief faster, you can do 5mg. you might have to cut them up.

I often get the sense that American leftists write off joint Israeli-Palestinian activism as naive kumbaya shit but whenever I read something like this I am blown away by the strength of people who have endured the worst losses possible and yet still show up with compassion for the “enemy”

I used to enjoy watching video essays but I am now convinced that those over an hour long generally need better script editors.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Camberville folks: my friend @mfryerwood.bsky.social and I are holding a craft fair to benefit families impacted by ICE, in both MA and MN, on May 23rd! ✨ You can sign up to be a vendor here: cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for...

We watch so many cat videos, I wouldn't be surprised if my baby's first word is "meow".

It’s hard to express how important Iris was to ACT UP’s scientific development. She was the catalyst who started it all. Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/h...

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.

I have no idea what’s happening here anymore

A new study from UC Santa Barbara shows that watching experimental animation expands creativity and opens new ways of seeing the world. #Animation #ExperimentalAnimation #MentalHealth #BrainRot

As a new parents, I have been watching a ton of children's programming. My bestie recommended Mayta The Brown Bear, and I really like it! www.maytathebrownbear.com

just because python is easier to code in doesn't mean that it's easy or what do you mean DictReader and dict() create different kinds of objects

you are not a violent abuser BECAUSE you have mental health issues. You can be a violent abuser who is ALSO mentally ill. The mental illness is not the cause of your domestic violence.

Okay so it's international haiku day and haiku are FASCINATING to me ao shut up I'm going to tell you about them a bit! They're not just 5-7-5 syllables! That's form purist, radical content anarchy! Let's GO

This is extremely niche: Asian men who complain about Asian women dating anyone who is not an Asian man actually feel entitled to Asian women's time and bodies.

I'm trying to balance childcare, including entertaining my baby, and sitting in 2.5 hour lectures on programming. Baby is gonna be learning Python. #SorryNotSorry

Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this. This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.

i am completely out of hot takes but please know that i still have a batch of lukewarm takes and a whole pile of ice cold takes

Really enjoyed this episode of Reading Rainbow where the theme was kids being activists! youtu.be/e4VIV48ZB0M?...

There are a lot of conversations that are not worth having because one side is not arguing in good faith and is not interested in being persuaded, but only interested in bullying and demeaning. And that side in the US is conservatives.

Yet another show about a woman doing sex work has dropped and though I agree that more representation and exposure are generally better, I just wonder about the voyeuristic fascination in this moment.

I DID MY FIRST PYTHON

I just got rickrolled and my baby loves the song.

It's summer and the reason I know is because it's 69 F (nice) and the college students are blasting music outside.

Analysis shows whales’ coda vocalizations are ‘highly complex’ and remarkably similar to our own

Keep up with that Target boycott because they terrorize people over nothing. #ThisThread

I had no idea that Deaf people helped NASA figure out the key to stopping astronauts from being violently ill due to weightlessness!

I just found this video and I think that all my fellow Bostonians should see it: youtu.be/0_N99uB__wE?...

Honestly, this isn't very well written. While a deep dive into alt-sex isn't necessary to be insightful, I find that the insight is lacking. But sex sells, right? Anyway, the alt-sex world in SF is also mirrored in Boston, and it exists in other major cities, like NYC and DC.

My latest for @sciam.bsky.social is all about the real biology, ecology, and climate science that is used to create the world of Pokémon, and how scientists use it to teach science in the real world. This is just about the most fun I’ve ever had interviewing anyone, and I hope you enjoy! 🧪🌎

Okay bluesky I need your help I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros Reskeet this. Text it to your "friends from home" Help this find every masshole poster who will know what to do

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

I just finished using this, which I became aware of due to @clairewillett.bsky.social. I cannot believe I am saying this about a web app in the year 2026, but: it is well designed and easy to use

TIL “兩隻老虎” is also the same song.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

the ideal society is three rooms: one has a giant orgy one has a bunch of bean bags, exercise equipment, and laptops they are separated by a third room that has a never-ending supply of hamburgers all other ideologies are perverse deviations from this

this meeting could have been AN epic

okay okay my review of Adult Braces can be summarized as this

they say to read so you can write but i have been putting away memoirs and so many of them are written so badly

Teeth are terrifying.
