It’s a public service not a business. Losses are not relevant. It’s in the goddamn constitution. Gonna lose my mind. AAAAAAAAAHHHHH

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The racism is just cartoonish. I can’t stand it. Honestly

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

We had the northern lights here in south-central Texas last night! My first time seeing them.

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

Please let this happen

Trans people are now functionally banned from the University of Virginia, the seventh university to do so.

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

Today is Car-Free Day! It's Car-Free Day! 🚇🚌🚲🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ People who ride transit walk as much as 30 minutes more daily, increasing heart health, building muscle, & reducing risk of heart disease. Families using transit save about $2,800 annually on rideshare, parking, tolls, & $10,500 on car ownership.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

1. Anti-trans rhetoric heated up yesterday on the far-right, with two congresspeople and major Republican figures calling for the institutionalization of trans people. Both Reps Nancy Mace and Ronny Jackson made such calls. Musk, Loomer, and Walsh echoed them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

this is just brutal and I'm old enough to know it's true

Ugh. Choices have consequences and these people have made theirs, the consequence of which is they’re forevermore known as transphobes

This this this. I was raised in a Republican household. By the time I got to college, I joined both College Dems and College GOP. I wanted to understand "both sides." I was a religious studies major. I quickly saw that the folks on the left actually espoused the values the right preached.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive — it doesn’t have instructions and search is a bear but there’s two hundred years’ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old: copa.apps.uri.edu

I have entered a very serious competition with the aforementioned academic paper. Of course, I cannot resist the opportunity for a visual shitpost. My display on the day: I'm recreating the Valkyries' weaving process with (fake) entrails, skulls, and so on. It's gonna be a friggin' DELIGHT.

Many local archives have sewing patterns in the collection. The first items I arranged when I became an archivist were sewing patterns from the early 20th century.

Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business

I just finished writing an academic paper on the linguistic and poetic challenges faced by translators working on the Darraðarljoð, a delightfully gruesome poem about the Valkyries. And in true fashion, I could not resist the opportunity for a bit of wordplay.

The height limits on Storrow Drive must be obeyed. No, really, they must. I promise your truck will have no other option.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

20 bucks will get you a 3 pack of neck cooling tubes. Pop these babies in the freezer and rotate as needed. Great for sleep in hot weather. You can also put them down your bra during perimenopausal hot flashes. a.co/d/0xAV4xr

I cannot stress enough the importance of having even a cheap home thermometer during a heatwave. Better if you've got one that reads the outside temp, too. Keep windows open until about 2ºF (1ºC) below parity/equilibrium. Close the windows, draw the blinds, TURN ON FANS.
