Met some neighbors on my walk tonight who said meeting my dog outside of saying hi to her at the fence everyday "felt like meeting a celebrity"

The only thing we've improved about the Internet since LiveJournal is the ease of sharing pictures

I do feel like I understand my season pretty well but tbh it has not had the life-changing properties I wish it did

At a stop sign right by my house I had to wait for a friend group that was taking photos (with a very nice camera) of themselves with bindles, fully had sticks with red bandanas tied at the ends

I went here and everyone said they knew you

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Commentary: I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

few american cities have a better origin story than lawrence's "fuck slavery and fuck missouri" founding principles

it sucks that they're trying to ruin the world cup for everyone because this place rips, there is so much cool shit to do here

"Europeans discover Americans aren't kidding about all that outside" and "Americans discover Europeans aren't kidding about all that history" are my two favorite travel genres

This is nonsensical. Libraries buy huge numbers of books you wouldn't otherwise sell. They're a massive discoverability vector for authors. The reasons behind the declining author earnings are not hard to guess. People read less, have less $ to spend, +media is being consolidated by megacorporations

I had P Terry's last night for dinner. Maybe I'll have it again tonight. I love this place!! "Starting today, P. Terry's is becoming employee-owned through an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT)"https://www.instagram.com/reels/DZXpDcBDRbH/

the 1972 GODSPELL cast is legendary in Canadian entertainment history and this is a pretty good thread about it and no, so far as anybody knows there's no recordings remaining of it if any were ever made

You know whats cool and excellent and beautiful? Your Local Public Library

(A) incredible and (B) an excuse to post this

Grackles run this city, we just live here

@chadstolper.bsky.social sorry to only get to wave for a second during our yearly run in! Hope y'all had a great time :)

Sarah Michelle Gellar honors her "Buffy" co-star Anthony Head following his death:

Yep. The value of corporations rolling out the rainbow carpet isn't what's in their heart of hearts, it's the society-wide signaling of "acceptance is good, bigotry is bad." Even if entirely insincere, it tells society "we think the majority of our customers expect this," and that's good!

Goddamn, RIP to a fucking legend

Heard a guy yesterday use the phrase "private equity housing slop" to describe a certain kind of new build and my favorite part is actually based on his look you'd kind of assume he approved of that sort of thing

Hi. Librarian here. Let me settle this once and for all: audiobooks are reading. Graphic novels are reading. It's all fucking reading. Stop gatekeeping and stfu. Thank you an have a good night.

I’m bad at this idc

Issuing a fatwa against all national political parachute reporters who cant pronounce Bexar correctly

some of you guys have a very noble savage view of texans

Sorry but Round Rock being seen as a liberal bastion now is sending me

Man this sucks

Horace Pippin (American, 1888–1946). Sunday Morning Breakfast (1943, oil on fabric).

Fun fact: the fiddle solo in "Amarillo by Morning" is the most beautiful recorded music in all of human history (Saw King George tonight and of course I cried during that)

Saw a guy wearing a T-shirt with this on it, hell yeah

I am here, begging people to check out what their local library has to offer. Even the most non-comics-friendly libraries often have ties to digital systems like Hoopla or Axis 360 where you can read lots of comics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJoY...

Talking about pirates with @brandnewkindof.bsky.social tonight which always makes me think about the Michael Lewis (!) profile of Mike Leach, published in 2005 (!!): www.nytimes.com/2005/12/04/m...

I am actually real mad about something at work so I just sent a very mean by my standards professional email, it contained zero (0) exclamation points

found this guy on Tiktok who has discovered carpenter's speed squares make an insanely satisfying noise when you bounce them off tires or wood, called @lostcoastedc on there

Had my back door open, which is right off my kitchen, which is very close to the street, so I'm pretty sure a number of my neighbors could hear my vampire mystery audiobook as I washed dishes tonight

slightly increase a band Old 98s

Once again trying to explain to the dog that, if you want to hide from the incoming storm, you can just stay inside your house instead of begging to be let outside and then hiding in the bushes

America could have reasonable gun laws but instead I get to Google "[venue] bag policy" all the time

I am a Natalie Haynes superfan and I endorse this

Absolutely gorgeous weather to walk your dog while you text friends about Met Gala looks

I am using the leg press lately because my stupid wrist thing means no squats, and I hate it, anything with a barbell is SO much more emotionally satisfying than a machine

incredible photos of a walrus falling off a pontoon in scotland. source www.facebook.com/groups/scotl...

Gestured for a car to go ahead of me at a stop sign and instead of a thank you wave, he did 🤟, excellent variant

is it love? i bet it’s love

zaslav tried to take this from us but he COULDNT it is too powerful

This is not wrong.

why are ai folks so bent about me hating it. fine, i'll fall behind! let me!!! fuck off!!!!

Ok when are we gonna get the major expose on the mega-scammy MLM-y world of “coaching”

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there
