One of my jumping spiders finally came out of molting and is so. Shiny. Now.

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne. So ProPublica did. Absolutely terrifying reporting from @natlash.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

honk shoo mimimi hours

It’s transgender awareness week, so if you weren’t already aware, you are transgender

Proud. 🏆 Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

Lol I'm signed up for Rep. John James's email newsletter just to keep tabs on what that dolt is doing, and Gmail has begun automatically sending his emails to my spam folder.

Sometimes Chris Pratt reminds me of my dad. And that's not a good thing.

Housing shouldn't be a commodity. House flipping should be illegal. Renting out properties should also be illegal. Every single person or family gets one house max, MAYBE two for a transition period if you're moving/fixing up a house you're going to move into.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

Nightmarish idea for a startup tbh

The Democrats remind me of my dad. Consistently absent when I need the support.

Advice of the day: you can never be overeducated or overdressed.

"So to Donald Trump, if you are watching, and I know you are... I have four words for you. TURN THE VOLUME UP" *Loud cheers*

Resisting the urge to make American Psycho references while my coworkers talk about Genesis.

Dick Cheney was proud to have normalized state-sponsored torture. That, and the dead of Iraq in an unjust war, constitute his entire legacy. “That’s not funny” is a meme-y cliche but I don’t care about the friend he shot or our jokes about it. Cheney is Kissinger level. He made the world worse.

For Halloween my husband @nathanandersonart.bsky.social and I went as Ben Ravencroft and Velma from Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost

Remember when Grok was only something Heinlein readers knew about and oh. I get it now.

This is an absolutely wild video. If you've got an hour to kill, check it out youtu.be/VRjgNgJms3Q?...

I will repost anything and everything that praises Brian Evenson

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

Incredible things are happening on X the everything app

i think its good that bluesky is boring and you dont want to scroll through it too much because you're not supposed to waste your day away scrolling on social media when you could be using the computer to play & draw & learn before the corporations destroy the rest of the internet. tick tock

My best advice to try to get a handle on shit right now? Make something. Don't care what. Don't care if it's good. Don't care if it's just a big ass house you made in Sims 4, just lose yourself in something for an hour or so. It' s like flushing the brain toilet.

greatest thread I’ve ever seen

absolute workhorse of a reaction image from over 100 years ago

Two floating heads: all that's left of the medieval stained glass in the lonely little church of Llanychan in North Wales. #StainedGlassSunday

I tried some simple #linocut printing for the first time ever and I think they turned out pretty okay! #Halloween #fall #autumn

One of the last times we stopped at Speedway for a late-night snack, the cashier was an older man who regaled us with tales of how his dog likes to go out into the yard and find toads to suck on cause it gets him high.

Please believe me when I tell you: Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now. You are going to need it. And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing. The thing that sustains and nourishes you. That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others. More present. More:

yikes

Remake of CHRISTINE where the car's radio picks up only stomp-clap-yeah Mumford & Sons garbage

i’ll never get over this

The stylist at Great Clips told me I'm actually pretty good at cutting my own bangs, especially compared to how most people she's seen in all her years of hairstyling do it, so get ready for me to have an inflated ego about this now

Being passionate about Taylor Swift is like being passionate about Bed, Bath & Beyond. There's nothing there. Just marketing and brand identity and hollow, acquisitive greed.

stumbled across real lyrics to an actual new Taylor Swift song and boy, that's a bold strategy, Cotton. let's see if it pays off.

You know who describes himself as a “happily excommunicated Mormon” and doesn’t tithe to a church devoted to transphobia

Me and the guy I had a massive crush on in tenth grade

An unusual item in my collection, Mister Black’s Secret by Catherine Barr. At first it seems like an early example of cheezburger speech but it was actually written in a shortlived teaching alphabet called ITA.

My husband at the old cemetery: *drawing sketches of grave art* Meanwhile me: "I must categorize all the lichen on the stones with iNaturalist"

The Trump Admin

Some details from graves at the Old Burial Hill cemetery in Marblehead, MA

So decent, Pyaari

Me, OMW to the local fast Mediterranean food joint to pick up my order: "Everything's weird. I'm trapped in a liminal space of feelings, navigating unreality. Is there any meaning in this chaos?" Cashier: "Hey we accidentally made your order twice so you get double food :)" Me: "Life is beautiful"

Honestly it seems to me that one of the most important tasks for modern parents is raising their kids to be mostly offline normies
