Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

Today on the pod, how an experiment involving a made-up skin condition exposes the risks of increasingly popular AI medical advice

Does your local tech company understand consent? > Yes! > Maybe later

Tech friends, is there a a company or group out there doing scholarship or research on how geriatric populations are affected by tech usage and trends in tech?

I know about it, but only because my mother told me. I went to school in Philly and it was never mentioned.

Every day is a good day to look up with an expression of intense epiphany from a piece of art and say "Ah! I am not the target audience for this!" Repeat as necessary! Not everything is for you!

THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD I loved it so much I finished it ahead of the assignment.

Something more drastic but also helpful is that you can ask bluesky to never show you a post again. This is great for moderating your feed, but can also be helpful if you are getting REALLY sick of seeing a specific repost but don't want to unfollow. It can't be undone though, so use it sparingly

The science of these little critters is pretty nuts. Here's a comic I did with @rikworth.bsky.social @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social for @bhamlalab.bsky.social #InverteFest #Sciart

with zero sarcasm this is good government and we should do this immediately

Happy Earth Day to my favorite planet for four and a half billion years and counting

Matthew is one of the realest, most committed advocates I’ve ever met: saving lives, reducing harm, educating folks, and moving policy. If you can support, please do.

1. Your goal is to retrieve your treasure from a monstrous entity. 2. All you need is a pen and paper, but expensive software makes it much easier. 3. The rules are constantly being updated, but they’re still shackled to a system from the 1970s.

I can't believe I actually have to say this, but apparently I do: someone who is buying compromised Bluesky accounts from an account reseller marketplace is directly funding identity theft, fraud, and international crime. #BadActorBingo resurrection for an explainer of why:

✨ I’m thrilled to share a special moment from my journey as a writer—introducing and reading from my novel Archangels of Funk, which has been shortlisted for the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction! 🖋️💫 🎥 Dive into the world of Archangels of Funk, published by @TorDotComPub.

Yesterday, the crew of the ISS called the crew of #Artemis2 and had a short conversation in between their busy schedules of research and documentation (I promise, to a scientist, that's more fun than it sounds!) This was the first ship-to-ship communications ever to take place in space. #NASA

How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

My union is officially on strike! I will be doing commissions during the duration of the strike to make ends meet. Please take a look at what I have to offer, and share if you are able, thank you! 💖 #commissions #furryart #digitalart #artistsonbluesky #csp

This is brilliant and clear, funny campaigns like this should be taken up everywhere. There’s nothing the heads of these companies like less than being mocked & creating salient & coherent cultural backlash against what everyone feels is a pathway to interrupt and slow some enshittification.

Hello, I'm a woodcarver, and this what I do ✌️ You can help me a lot by sharing my work, so people can buy or commission me sculptures. Praying for octopus blessings on your life 🐙🙏

Do I know people who only read books in first person? Or is this just one of those things that happens On The Internet? slate.com/culture/2026...

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

No one has ever tried to sell me drugs as hard as people try to sell me on AI.

Hey, the excellent Minneapolis arts and culture magazine Racket took down their paywall for the day, so you can go read their coverage of the occupation unhindered. Start here: racketmn.com/voices-of-th...

Holy crap. Without completing portions of the required paperwork, with a likely failed drug test, and with clear indication that no HR person had ever Googled her or done even a cursory background check, ICE "hired" @laurajedeed.bsky.social.

I don’t have on in my fridge right now, but I do buy these sometimes. Note: everything affected is grated.

💙 📚 🪐 📚 ♿ I'm thrilled & honored that my cozy fantasy books have been nominated for several categories in the #IndieInkAwards, including "Asexual and Aromantic Representation" and "Disability Representation by a Disabled Author!" Voting is open now to Dec 31!

Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with 2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

Boston-area folks, we can see the Aurora borealis right now (bring your coat!)

The election of Zohran Mamdani as NYC mayor has exposed a gulf between the younger and older generations of American Jews. I made this zine to explore a significant part of that divide. 1/2

Until a few hours ago, my experience with major awards has been "finalist, but not a winner." I've been honored to be a finalist for many major awards. Birdverse works have been repeatedly shortlisted. Major wins up until today - not there. This is the first big win and it's MY FAVORITE AWARD

All the #Murderbot #crochet book covers 😍 @marthawells.com. This is one of my favourite book series from this year. "As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure." "There needs to be an error code that means “I received your request but decided to ignore you." #booksky #books #craft

PAINTED FLOCK deals heavily with compulsory romance and toxic ideas around romantic relationships. "More than friends" as an expression to mean sexual-romantic partners irks me to no end, so of course it's right there in the thick of the narration. buy.bookfunnel.com/prdyz5509q

I love Claudie’s work. So if I tell you this is one of the most powerful books I have ever read by “autolove autobuy” standards of good… I’m just saying it is really damned good and I urge you to add it to your immediate next read spot.

I had a chance to read the ARC of this and it's utterly delightful! Highly recommended if you want something that's both sweet and fluffy and also thoughtful.

In case your timeline needed a greyhound attempting to eat a quail egg.
