I'm not quite sure what I did to trigger it, but Bsky is showing me more and more content related to Seattle, like the story of the idiot who drove their car up the light rail viaduct and into a station. I'm not complaining, I'm just perplexed.

Interesting - study finds that cannabis use for anxiety, depression, and PTSD does not appear to help these conditions. thesciverse.org/the-largest-...

Funny, but also depressing how much energy and water was wasted creating an image that could've been shot in probably 30 minutes.

Dear body: why the fuck are you waking me up every morning at 5:30 - 6:00? Could you please let me sleep in until my alarm goes off? Pretty please?

It makes me sad that it looks like I'll have to add the UK onto the same list as Florida, Texas, and Kansas on the list of places I can't visit safely as a trans person.

Happy Pride!

Lol 😅🤣

Them: "There is no such thing as the Pridester Bunny." Me: "Oh yeah, then what about this?"

Glad to see that Charlie has an extremely competent friend in Robin. #SidequestedComic

Something I wrote down back when I was still coming to terms with my identity. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 🧡💛🤍🩷💜

Post a picture YOU took. Just a pic. No description.

It's always fun when the weekly ritual of stabbing myself in the thigh (IM injection) results in hitting a vein and shooting blood out. ...which should probably worry me about my blood pressure, come to think of it.

Being an American during the 250th Aniversary of the United States feels a lot like if the terrorists in Die Hard demanded that the hostages continue having their Christmas party.

Funny, when we were learning about Levittowns in history class in school, they never mentioned Levitt's racist policies (refusing to sell to African Americans, including resale covenants that prohibited resale to minorities).

I can't help but wonder if DT Jr. chose where to hold his wedding specifically because his father couldn't legally enter that country.

Apparently, there's going to be a UFC match on the south lawn of the W.H. for Turnip's birthday. What the actual duck?

It would be a darn shame if someone told the orcas about it...

Timeline cleanse: enjoy this beautiful Caracal.

"First Fig" My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends— It gives a lovely light! Edna St. Vincent Millay

Side effect of my eclectic taste in music: my shuffled work mix of songs just played, back-to-back"Heaven Knows" by The Pretty Reckless followed by "World on Fire" by Sarah McLachlan.

1/ At 17 weeks pregnant, Emily Waldorf was suddenly faced with a life-threatening situation: Her baby’s foot was dipping out of her cervix. Doctors told her the longer her cervix stayed open, the higher her risk of infection. They knew how to treat her. There was one issue … 🧵

I'm growing increasingly weary of the 'reality' TV-star-to-politician practice.

My gods above, below, and slightly to the side I needed the 3-day weekend, but the workload coming back has made me feel like I've worked two days in one.

Neat, but there's a part of my brain going, "What would happen if I played the canary's song through a modem?"

Apparently CBS was filing takedowns on YouTube channels that were re-uploading Stephen Colbert's appearance on "Only in Monroe." Fortunately, they've stopped that idiotic attempt to silence Colbert.

"Oh, when *YOU* do it, it's fun. When *I* do it, I get sprayed with the water bottle."

Glancing at the Bahamas Immigration Code, I can't see that him being an adjudicated rapist would automatically bar his entry, but the 34 felony convictions almost certainly would.

I'm honestly surprised the driver wasn't driving a Wankpanzer.

I was trying to remember the name of a bird with a funny name, and searched for "Strange-tailed passerine." It directed me to the bird I was seeking: the Strange-tailed tyrant. I'm pleased to see that it is, in fact, a passerine.

They knew what they were doing.

I’m not buying any more Girl Scout cookies until they’re honest enough to list the serving size as “1 Box”.

Happy to be an ink drinker.

Ooof.

I wonder if this is the only English-language sentence to have its own Wikipedia page. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo...

The tagline on today's QC has me thinking of CorpseWitch for the first time in ages. Huh. I wonder what that vile excuse for sentience is up to these days. (Also, can confirm that most inkjet printers, at the very least, are pure evil).

Apparently, the Gavin Newsom Bluesky account has been flagged for transphobia and transmisogyny. ...and yeah, I can understand why people flagged it for such.

Apparently, they turned on the air conditioning in my building. The step they forgot to include? Notifying us that they had turned it on. The last emails we've received about it are, "AC is on in the entire community except [my building]" and "There is a property-wide AC outage."

"When Mario obtains the tanuki suit, he gains the power of transformation into a stone statue. This means he's become a bake-danuki. Canonically, bake-danuki are depicted with giant scrotums. "In this essay I will explain why the art in SMB3 and beyond is incorrect..." #RandomThoughts #TMI

Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a car in real life that so perfectly replicates the Batman Animated Series aesthetic in real life. NGL, I kinda want one.

Rewatching "Being Erica" and I have to ask: Were Blackberries just really popular in Toronto in 2008-2010? Because everyone has one in the show.

Because of the state of the world, I feel it necessary to share joy sometimes. This still gives me chills to watch and listen to - so beautiful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a239...

Having a bad brain day. Which is weird, given that it was a productive morning - got up, did amateur radio testing session, then had to go to work for a couple hours, then home and wrote for a while.

I try not to discuss politics too much here but I just have to say my potentially unpopular opinion. If you reside in or work for the White House, you should be prohibited from trading in stocks. Period. This bullshit of admin members playing insider trading needs to end.
