I miss Florence

The mid 90s teen baby queer Fiona Apple to Florence pipeline is insane

thrilled to say that after almost an entire year i made my first Ed. note in @garbageday.email www.garbageday.email/p/what-happe...

making art is cool and fun and you should try it!

Sorry to Genshin on main but I’ve been playing this game for YEARS and I just got my first 36-starred Spiral Abyss and I am GIDDY

Grief is wild and unpredictable

Tonight’s @garbageday.email Live show featuring @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @akilahhughes.com was the best show we’ve done IMO. Shout out to bringing weird online stuff to IRL events

To the robin singing his ass off in prospect park and keeping me awake cause it’s nice enough to have my windows open: buddy wyd it’s like 2am she’s not gonna fuck you

I just found my second grey hair and I got really excited tbh, please let me evolve into my silver fox era

Exactly one year ago I got laid off along with like most of the Tumblr staff and I’m extremely lucky to report that working at Garbage Day with @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social has been wildly beneficial to my mental health and I have fun at work again

My OCD got diagnosed legit 30 years ago and is very much under control thanks to 3 decades of therapy but there’s some lingering Brain Is Lying Shit I still deal with, so again this is a win for me. Shoutout to the 5 ice cubes in my kombucha

My therapist is on parental leave but I KNOW they would be so proud of me for consistently using an odd number of ice cubes recently in defiance of my ocd

me, a vegan, begrudgingly: fine, i’ll make a fucking salad using the stupid fucking veggies i bought specifically for making salads that’ll go bad if i don’t eat them

i got, like, deeply into ASMR-like high quality long Japanese train and ferry travel videos with zero dialogue and i'm not embarrassed to admit that i saw this post and was like "oh, that's Mei Time! she's great!"

I got to email 100k people today that my boss fried his laptop at a live show so he couldn’t send out a newsletter

Garbage Day Live is coming back to Brooklyn next week. Baby's All Right in Williamsburg. Doors at 6:30pm. Special guest @katienotopoulos.bsky.social! It's going to be very very very fun. We only have a few tickets left, so grab 'em while you can!!! www.eventim.us/wafform.aspx...

I’ll figure out a better way to articulate this soon but: we don’t have social media any more, we just have platforms people we know are on. There’s nothing social about them.

Wild to be a part of the micro generation and niche community who experienced the birth of online social media as well as the mainstream death of it.

“I was there when it was written” etc etc

When considering what went so wrong with the internet, former @buzzfeed.com editor Cates Holderness (@cates.bsky.social) shared with LONG SHADOW: BREAKING THE INTERNET host Garrett Graff (@vermontgmg.bsky.social), "I think a whole lot went wrong. The internet we have in 2025 is fractured."

Basically, the right-wing wants you to think that being racist is the most dangerous (and cool) thing you can do right now. Films like The People's Joker and Nirvanna The Band The Movie prove the most dangerous thing for algorithmic streaming platforms is actually copyright infringement.

hit low power mode while reading fanfic, love to be single in my 40s

this is the best thread I have seen on bsky to date!!

look I know I’m not In Corporate anymore but I will never be able to suppress my desire for More Data like fuck off gimme those indicators lemme make a spreadsheet

Watching Ryan write this piece directly in the CMS was a weird experience. I know he Does That but every edit and new graf made me nauseous. It’s a stellar piece and excellent reporting.

Very, very proud to work with a team that stands for our beliefs and isn’t beholden to corporate bullshit.

sorry to go vegan on main but everyone losing their minds about Veronica the cow using Cow Tools like go vegan just eat beans instead of cows if you think she’s amazing

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-...

The Golden Globes pushing polymarket predictions is disgusting to me actually!!

Ryan and Grant are back on the ground this morning

Happy 13th birthday to the most essential artwork of the current era, @kcg.bsky.social ‘s “This is fine,” to all those who celebrate.

Here in Minneapolis with @grantirving.bsky.social. ICE agents filming protesters in front of the federal building. One protester tells us they've been protesting out here for over four hours today.

please i'm begging you!!! when ryan hired me he told me hitting 100k subscribers by the end of the year was his biggest goal and therefore my biggest goal as well!

nothing made me happier than getting the gang back together for this!! you're welcome/sorry!

Thinking about the time two decades ago when I worked at kennels and a couple who were fav clients dropped their basset hounds Rupert and Douglas off cause they were taking their 10yo kid to ATL to see Tom Waits live at the kid’s req and I lost my goddamn mind. They brought me back a shirt.

All year I've been thinking about what discovery looks like in a post-search era. I love that we now often look to great human curators. So I'm starting a new series interviewing some of my favourites! First up @cates.bsky.social from @garbageday.email newsletter.sachajudd.com/archive/cura...

Fullly realize no one who follows me will probably care about this BUT @brandonsanderson.com announced a new Hoid book and I’m losing my mind!! Hoid is my poor little meow meow and he sucks and I love him so much!!!

At the end of the workday today a lateral colleague asked if I could look into something for him and I messaged him 3 hours later and was like “Im trying to have a better work life balance but im not there yet so here’s my recommendation” and his response was “omg”

I am so grateful l have a extended family that accommodates my veganism

today felt like being in a newsroom again but like in a good way

everything reminds me of him

It would be nice to have a pet again but I’ve got my mom’s 30+ year old peace lily so like…

Today we're sharing a piece from @bumas.bsky.social we sent out to our paying readers yesterday. It's, as best we can tell, the most definitive list of who is running Trump's digital operation. Meet the far-right hype house flooding our of our feeds with shit. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-who...

Asking for work: Hey anyone here fluent in Elvish (specifically Quenya) enough to double check a very short translation? If so, DM me!

Remember when Instagram was a platform where you and your friends shared pictures? I miss that a lot.

I moved today and I’m exhausted but at least pizza is on its way

A fun boundary I set for myself is if I’m night scrolling and RFK Jr appears I immediately put my phone down and go to sleep. Night night y’all!

Huge thanks to @bumas.bsky.social, @ellievhall.bsky.social, @cates.bsky.social, and @grantirving.bsky.social for helping me get this out today. The internet is more chaotic and intense than I've ever seen it. Impossible to keep up with it on my own.
