About once a month I think about the girl from Bible Camp who, when we were 14 and forced to make name tag necklaces on the first day, made one that said “I 💚 YAOI” and managed to wear it the entire week after convincing the counselors she’d misspelled Yahweh.*

An American pope?! In THIS economy?

Anyone who says weed is bad is crazy because I just made a fried chicken sandwich with bacon fat mashed potatoes and red pepper flakes all on a hoagie roll and I would not have done that sober

We are knee deep in fascism and people are, in March (damn near April) 2025, starting substacks to… resist fascism?? You can’t do it. IT CANNOT BE DONE. You can’t resist fascism when you pay 10% of your revenue to the Nazi bar which then literally pays revenue to Nazis. You’re buying Nazis drinks.

I am fascinated by the life that this tweet continues to have, totally separate from me. 🌱

18F staffers- who were summarily fired en masse overnight- issue statement expressing shock, bewilderment: "18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated."

For many an owl is a very bad omen. Please tag your photos so they can be properly filtered and your fun doesn't leave a bad mark on someone else's day.

Bird feed, please be extra conscious to use alt text with owl photos this Sunday to respect indigenous folks on this platform! 🪶

Share their names, their photos, make their lives as uncomfortable as possible.

if you're a guy who is bad at wrapping presents then I suggest starting over a couple of times until it doesn't look like shit. it's an acquired skill like anything else, baby! the women in your life aren't just born knowing this stuff! make an effort!

Heeeeey were having our first every Smut Book Club pizza party over on the Nerdgasm Noire YouTube channel TODAY! Come hang out with us while we eat pizza and talk about the books we loved this year with author Katrina Jackson!

Ah magical

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT. I'm serious.

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

3/ ... The contents of that hashtag will also appear in a DUVET feed kindly set up last year by @notinaboyband.bsky.social, which is here (and which you can pin for ease of reference): bsky.app/profile/did:...

4/ So, WHAT IS IT? Well, on Xmas Eve 2011 people started sending me photos of their sleeping arrangements, often compromised by there being Too Many People At The Inn And Not Enough Beds. I reposted them. A few years later it was given the hashtag #duvetknowitschristmas by someone funnier than me.

Humble Games is dead, and Humble Bundle has become a soulless husk. Cancel your subs, don't renew

Disassociating! In The Kitchen

The thing is that Santa knows when you’re awake. So if you see him kissing your mum then that’s a conscious power move that he’s making

As expanded upon in the replies: "don't cross the picket line" is a call for solidarity from other workers. It means don't be a scab. If a union asks for a boycott, we boycott. Why wouldn't they want one? Strategy. Amazon will feel the effects of a labor action more if demand remains steady.

Thank you for this bounty we are about to enjoy

I told Dandy the people in the phone say hi. She says hi back.

okay #TTRPG hivemind: what games would you suggest to introduce someone to solo play RPGs? strong preference for low setup (not a ton of dice, etc.) but open in terms of genre, themes, etc.

"we aren't going to tolerate bigotry" doesn't mean "everyone is a delicate fragile flower and we must pile the cushions high and always speak softly"

much like other predatory industries, they get you with the "no start-up costs" rope-in

substack just announced a new enterprise media offering (whatever that means) in partnership with bari weiss’ website “because of its commitment to pursuing high-integrity journalism.” if you’re still publishing there, it’s time to get the fuck out. on.substack.com/p/the-new-me...

Explains all the sea lions barking in replies lately.

Q!!! #StarTrek #TNG

This costs you zero, Amazon pays for the tip, so make sure you do it after every delivery. Just search “thank my driver” on the Amazon app

Whenever I explain that almost 95% of the disinformation that gets laundered through mainstream media comes from 10 people who are all in the same group chat together, people look at me like I'm a conspiracy theorist. But it's true.

okay do we prefer bight.social or tied.social for 🌌 🪢 domain verification

AI for LOLs is still AI, lads Opt the fuck out

FWIW: I genuinely & firmly believe that Palestine is one of very few instances where Posting About It actually makes a material difference (because of Palestine Exception bullshit, ironclad media silencing of Palestinian voices, & the COST of speaking up), so if you haven't? Maybe consider it?

thinking about capacity & creation. we simply CANNOT read/watch/play it all! there’s no time! our brains can only hold so much! and the way that these basic human constraints create artistic perspective, to some degree.

Research ALLLLL vendors. They'll take your money to print 'abolish the police' signs and fundraising materials, then turn around and donate profits to Trump campaigns.

Every time I share about Libby I think, “People can’t not know Libby right?” And then someone is always happy to learn about Libby! Anyway it’s a library app and you just need a library card to check out audiobooks and ebooks from your library to your phone. It’s great!

I didn’t nap today and that was very brave of me

Off to NYC tomorrow. Packing now, get your requests in so I know what special gear to bring. 💋
