My husband and I used to find hilarious ways to give my BIL his annual gift certificate (before gift cards, you whippersnappers). One year we suspended it in the very center of an enormous air conditioner box, 🧵

Midnight has passed, and I emerge unscathed. Whamageddon victory is mine.

Look, it’s snowing on Christmas Eve! It’s a Christmas miracle! #husky #dogsofbluesky

Just finished the performance of our silly holiday tale, “Miracle on the 43rd floor.” Thanks to my cowriter Adam Clark, our fearless leader @armstrongvo.bsky.social, and our entire Panic Room family for sharing your amazing pro #VO skills to make this whole thing a success! #voiveover #voiceacting

The Snow Queen. And by that I mean she makes the snow. Everywhere. All over the house.

listen. listen to me. libraries are getting indie TTRPGs in circulation. high school teachers are bringing weird stuff to the teenz TTRPG club. we continue to be in a beautiful moment for showing more people the full breadth of what games can be. nurture it by playing & loving games!!! a gift!!!!!

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

See? And not only that, but Barbara as a PhD in Plausibility Science!

people have been trying to get me to use arabic numerals for XXVII years and I ain't gonna start now

Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

Alice was such a light in the darkness. Thinking of her family and friends.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

In patients with spontaneous #CervicalArteryDissection, the presence of fibromuscular dysplasia was associated with distinct correlates and a 2.75x higher rate of recurrent dissection. ja.ma/3LnLjqZ

I see the new @criticalrole.bsky.social title sequence makes it clear what’s always been true: this is theatre kids, this is Burners, this is Larpers, this is dorks who know Shakespeare and Commedia, now with a budget.

WHY IS MERCARI ALL OF A SUDDEN TRYING TO SHOW ME EVERY $@£%@&$ PIECE OF SCORPION ART ON THE SITE!?!?!?!

Spooky time is underway in this neighborhood! #Halloween

Really feeling froggy this year.

As wobble has been pointing out there are alot of common things that arent given as much, though in all truth the best thing you can give is cash and time Most food kitchens/pantries can get things at rates that we cannot in bulk

My kids moved out today and it’s Sombertown round these parts for me and the puppers. So to cheer myself up I did the final waxing on my little weathered spice box project. I’ll use it on my tea bar to store tea. So happy to finally have the exact spice box I’ve always wanted! #craftsky #crafting

@bellechere.bsky.social I gave the cauldron an extra seasoning yesterday and today made veggie soup! I love it!

Union musicians from Local 802 providing the soundtrack to our #NoKings march!

No Kings Coalition says two million more people protested today than in June. Nearly 7 million total.

no matter how you feel about No Kings as an organizing tactic, being in the streets tomorrow is a good time to be very visually supportive of Trans and immigrant communities. people need to know ALL of us are against their vilification.

This Crash Course in American Native History are cute. Lily Gladstone does such a great job in this one: youtu.be/Dj8EjBQJD84?...

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky. Block on sight. Protect your digital space. Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them. The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

I have returned from the battlefield where I fended off TikTokers to successfully secure the four quart Smith and Clark cauldron I’ve been wanting for soupmaking when it returned at 10am. Last night I dreamt I had to answer verification questions and they were gone by the time I finished. 💀

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Bonus kid moves out tomorrow, so tonight is our annual Over the Garden Wall watch party.

The point of Jonah is not Nineveh’s repentance but Jonah’s fury at God’s mercy. It is a scathing parody of nationalistic religion that wants God on 'our side' and cannot stomach the possibility that God’s love extends beyond our religious and political borders, especially those considered 'enemies'.

Muh boy.

Ready to place my vote for Chunk tomorrow! Chunk chunk chunk chunk…

YEAH!!!

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering here's what you need to know 🧵

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

So, they're going to blame women and Tylenol.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

Oh! - did I mention I did product photography for Paizo’s new board game that’s now out on backerkit??? 💖👀

FINALLY REAL RAIN

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage. When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig. Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

Three as of 8:25pm. The night is young, place your bets! Do we pick up two more creepy crawlers before midnight to tie the record?

How do you tell that it’s fall in the desert: the scorpion in the house count is up to two as of this afternoon. September record: five in one day, set in 2023 . 😂
