Tweet so good I printed it out and put it on my wall. I referred to it in a conference talk today @hypervisible.blacksky.app

me tuning into any sports game ever: “so which ones are the bad guys?”

All of us are haunted. It's up to us to gather our ghosts and harness their power for good.

It's strange how, post-Substack, we're conditioned to say "newsletter". This is not a newsletter. It's a load of writing about all sorts of stuff, with no rules. Also, it's not on Substack because Substack sucks & I refuse to give part of my income to venture capitalists. www.tom-cox.com

It has a little knife now

Happy Non-Binary Awareness Week! Here is a loving reminder that non-binary peeps do not owe you androgyny, and that "non-binary" is not a third gender. Whatever your truth is? I want it for you.

Uncanny is one of my favorite SFF magazines--their editorial team consistently selects thought-provoking, beautiful works of fiction and poetry, and the specfic community is richer for having them. Please support their work!

"👀oooh, he's worked with his strong masculine hands, ooh 👀" holds a lot less attraction as a concept when you, too, have dug a number of ditches and chopped down a number of trees with an axe on a co-ed work crew, and discovered that it's actually just....work!

Live view of a stellar core collapse

goooood morning it is bright and cool and breezy, and we took a nice loop around the neighborhood - making friends with some dudes who were working on a church parking lot paving job so yes, of course: Lucy Loved That Walk

bring back the frog and toad archetype of masculinity

Your daily affirmation: If it feels like you're crumbling, don't worry. That's normal for folks who live in a crumbling world.

So. I did it. Lotta people gonna be mad about this one. Show it some love?

This is not a coincidence. When stories representing marginalized communities are disproportionately targeted, students lose access to perspectives that foster empathy, understanding, and belonging. Every reader deserves to see themselves (and others) reflected on library shelves.

smh more unrealistic body standards for transmascs

This is the elusive Pampas cat, also called the colocolo, native to South America. They're a natural predator of wild guinea pigs, viscachas & are ruthlessly efficient hunters. For decades, the Pampas cat has been at the center of a debate about species. (📷: Tompkins Conservation)

All you have to say publically is "my thoughts are with their family" Because yes, you don't want to look like an asshole to your other coworkers, and jeopardize future cooperation. But you also don't need to talk to a politican's abuse victims about how they were personally nice to you

1969: Jose Andres, Spanish-American chef, restaurateur and founder of the non-profit World Central Kitchen, born in Mieres, Asturias, Spain

1942: American actor Harrison Ford, who was perhaps best known for playing charismatic rogues in the Star Wars and Indiana Jones film franchises, was born.

This Kickstarter isn't on @uncannymagazine.bsky.social website's "Support Us" page but Uncanny is one of the best digital scifi magazines out there today - spread the word!

Sam Neill? Oh, no. He was able to take on any role in any genre without hesitation. HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE is among my very favorite things he worked on and is woefully underseen in the US.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I'll always think of Sam Neill as Capt. Borodin. And I'll never not be sad when his character gets killed. "I would like to have seen Montana"

So far this morning, I have seen people post about Sam Neil helping the environment, loving animals, respecting women, honoring aboriginal people, assisting struggling actors, and being funny. It turns out if you are a good person you are remembered fondly.

I think the worst thing about having a human body (besides death and illness and pain etc) Is the CONSTANT MAINTENANCE It never can just chill. You have to constantly feed it and water it and wash it and give it vitamins and exercise and sleep IT NEVER JUST MAINTAINS ITSELF

two roads neurodiverged in a wood and I - I stimmed until I was too exhausted to take either one

After dining on cardboard, Chloe took a nap. Something woke her up and she looks like she wants to know exactly what is going on here. (That's my interpretation when she gives side-eye with her eyes partially closed.) #cats #torties #catsofbluesky

Dad, how was it like growing up gen x? Me:

and now here's a bunny

Oral rehydration should be with an electrolyte solution, not just water, juice or soda. Pedialyte is optimized. Gatorade is okay. Both can be expensive. You can also make it at home - 1L water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 pinch salt, squeeze of citrus if you have it. This optimizes absorption. 2/

Thank you for helping me on my journey to survive depression 💚
