They put broccoli in their tacos, guys.

When he looked over his shoulder into the sugar cane and straight into the camera? Astounding work to do live.

AI slop in the Olympics actually makes me want to cry.

It's the camera work, right? And the lighting? And the music? And the everything?

Anytime someone says/writes the term "three-cueing," I feel like I've been activated by an ancient diety. I arise and scream "guessing isn't reading" and am drowned in an ocean of sight word flash cards sold in every online shop in existence.

so you know how there's a theory that three-cueing means many Americans literally *can't* read.

Somehow, there are more/new Alex Pretti videos online today. We have to hold these men accountable. We have to hold them all accountable.

*giant timer at the front of hall clicks to 3:01" Everyone in the crowd, in unison: "THREE MINUTES!"

Hello, my old enemy. We meet again.

You guys, I need a time machine so I can show Howard Ashman the Heated Rivalry x Part of Your World (Reprise) edit I just watched.

Idk how to explain it, but I know Shane Hollander was listening to this on repeat while pining over Rozanov. #heatedrivalry

I don't usually read horror or non-romance fantasy, but I was a blubbering mess by the end of this book. That is the *highest* praise I can give.

Believe it or not, my 11-year-old asked for this. They don't press it anymore, but I miracously found a copy at the thrift. Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎅

It took like 10 years, but we still have Cape Canaveral. If we all just *don't*, we can keep any names we want.

I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

Made a mistake and engaged in the phonics "debate" on TikTok. RIP my mentions. The Reading Wars will never end.

This and AI-generated posters.

Canonically, Good Luck Bear is a boy, so this is technically Wicked drag. They even gave him lashes 💚

Look, it's super cool they sang live in Wicked (2024) and it sounded fine in the theaters and on my home screen, but I can *hear* the room/set changes on my noise-canceling headphones.

Help, I'm still at the restaurant.

Millions of American parents learning how to bubble braid today. #halloween #KPDH

Up so early that Bluesky is still British

I will never forgive any dyslexia "advocate" who tried to pretend it wasn't about politics. It's always been about politics.

I didn't know blasphemy could make me this angry.

I swear to god this is like one of those soft rock radio station commercials: *Amy Grant plays in the background* "Playing the hits from your childhood to justify our murderous regime with less talk and fewer commercial breaks!"

There are two wolves inside of you. #booksky #Romancelandia

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

One of the bullets had Italian brainrot engraved on it? Am I understanding this correctly?

Every year, a distraught mother comes to TikTok because she's just learned her (insert number) grader isn't reading, and every year this discourse on that app is how that mother is a lazy, uneducated moron. And every year, I'm glad I didn't have TikTok when that happened to me.

The world is terrible, but Maine exists.

I promise I didn't mean to do this, but the spirits of Merryweather and Flora must have possessed me while I was picking out the fabric for this project. #quilting #quiltingsky #sewingsky #handmade

I don't think I'll ever get over how Google killed its legacy in the name of AI. Just destroyed itself and for what? The Google search "Kirkland Everything Bagel Seasoning Gluten Free" vs the actual label. Notice how there's *no malodextrin* in it. You have to scroll quite a bit for the real answer.

Everything's terrible but my curtain of tillandsia is so beautiful and healthy 🥰

The world is terrible, but wild blueberries exist.

Thinking of all the SOR rightwingers who 1. Managed to make science unpalatable to a lot of would-be allies and 2. Helped usher in the destruction of the Department of Education. Congrats, IDEA will be gone soon. You got what you wanted.

*marks a book as ‘finished’ on my goodreads* ooh an email! (it’s from goodreads saying i finished a book)

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I'm not telling any of you my tiktok handle, but I have just ascended into a higher plane.

Reading a Romance book that doesn't have HEA?

Somebody call up Elizabeth Warren to kill this ghoul again, please.

I hope whoever made this enjoyed the Tonys last night.

Oh my GOD, this prompt kept coming on on the screen during my child's IEP meeting yesterday, and I couldn't figure out what it was. This is so stupid I can't even.

This is a double whammy because all evidence I can find is that the AI is basically right and the local orchard website is wrong. Also, type in something else, and you'll get a totally different answer from the AI. So fun times we're living in.

You wanna know why I don't talk about phonics anymore? Because in many people's zeal to get structured literacy in classrooms (good, just, woke if you will), we allowed a whole lot of truly disgusting people and ideas in along the way.

Idk how to explain it, but these are the three correct Disney Princesses.

Oh so it's cool to accept gifts as a reporter? Idk, I think the president should be held to a higher standard than NYT staff writers.

My resident phoebes have built themselves a new nest, and my resident cowbird is confused. #birdsky #birder #ornithology
