I've submitted my prizes to the Prize Wizard @gamesdonequick.com for SGDQ 2026. (Games: Animal Crossing and Legend of Zelda)

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

They never call you! Don't forget!! Getting scammed can happen to anyone!

Welp

Pope Leo at Barcelona Prayer Vigil: “In our societies, the idolatry of profit, the frenzy of always having to produce and be winners, as well as the cult of one's own self-image, are nothing more than anesthetics to numb our conscience and adapt it to a certain idea of society.”

I'm considering making a zine about my experiences with ketamine and TMS for treatment resistant depression to bring to #GraphMed2026. I want to find other zines or comics or illustrations about that though! Anyone got any?

picked up a book at the public library then mailed a package at the post office and am about to use public transportation to get to the gym. I love Services

I emailed one of the authors to tell him I really like the idea of "our little friends in the air". There's so much amazing stuff in the world.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

I wondered earlier if this could this be why I've been in prior authorization hell this year, but feebly thought surely not. I need to find out.

I'm in this photo and I don't like it

The only "chat" I care about is the yellow-breasted chat #art #digitalart #procreate #animalart #birds #bridart #drawing #illustration

HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO COOL

"Endorsed by Washington Parking Association" should be mortifying and I actually hope to live to see the day that that's so.

these four sexy words again TOP MARGINAL TAX RATE "Restore the top marginal ordinary income tax rate to its pre-2017 level of 39.6% — which, but for Trump’s tax cuts, would have applied to income over $546K this year. Raise the (much lower) top capital-gains rate." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/o...

Some gray catbirds migrate more than 2,000 miles from Central America to New York City to eat pepperoni pizza in Bryant Park. 🪶

Ranked choice voting!!!! Yes!!!!!! (I just filled out my ballot.)

You may have read about the woman who gave birth in a Brooklyn courtroom Friday night while waiting to be arraigned. I spoke to an attorney who saw the whole thing, and says it was much worse than has previously been reported, a scene of "complete violence." hellgatenyc.com/birth-in-bro...

Oh no the wind blew some tape onto your license plates Uh oh someone vandalized your car and I was taking pictures to report it (Practice for if I come across any this week to report to 311)

I wish all the cops driving around obnoxiously loudly a very may the next thing you drink go down your breathing tube instead of your eating tube.

Means testing access to public benefits programs remains a rolling obscenity, another grinding obstacle to achieving basic dignity in a country where the wealthiest experience an existence so free of friction that they openly disdain the idea of communal responsibility.

A lot of garbage will go up in flames, but so will vast repositories of information. Fuck closed ecosystems.

sometimes Oxford is normal and sometimes members of @orieloxford.bsky.social chapel gather to serenade a new beehive on college grounds with a 17th century madrigal

"Pandering bootlickers, the lot of you" violated WaPo comment guidelines :( as did "Delicious boots!"

Heck yes I support ghosts. Specifically hauntings

My legal team is now working on copyright cases against SHEIN. They were the first place that counterfeits of my work started showing up and I am glad to be able to finally go after them. If you have had your art ripped, please contact Justice for Artists. They won a huge case for me last year.

I'm imagining this with a bunch of textural embroidery maybe. It needs something

May the Firth be with you

"absence of imagined gain" gets closer to the wording I've been searching for with regard to people complaining about taxing interest on municipal bonds

Had a nightmare yesterday about working at Whole Foods (2010–2012) where we used FileMaker Pro when we totally should have been using InDesign and my heart rate is increasing

Ohhh, no wonder Ditto always appealed to me. These were my favorite part of one of my favorite movies as a kid

My silver lining: I'm so glad Acrobat is as terrible as it is only now, when I've finally found antidepressants that work for me

Brings me back to how I felt when I read "carbon fiber submersible"

Boys with flowers, I love them

Holy shit, I didn't want to yell at a single one of these clinical recommendations

It's #NationalLibraryWeek? Excellent! I've been wanting to research botanical dyes and paper, and a few weeks ago I finally got my @librarycongress.bsky.social reader card to do so, plus I went to the National Gallery of Art Library www.nga.gov/research/lib...

Thank you for the reminder to ask someone (I emailed DC Master Gardeners) if there's a better way to transport water to newly-planted street trees than going back and forth a number of times with jugs (no nearby spigots). I'm too clumsy for larger buckets tbh

Everyone needs to read Matthew's latest post, because this is what's in store for all of us at some point--being harmed by HCWs whose inadequate training & supervision are policy choices--unless we mobilize to reverse MAHA's cuts to Medicaid & Medicare

In her proposed #FY27 budget, Mayor Bowser is again asking those with the least to sacrifice the most in a time of rising prices and economic constraint. Read more about the mayor's budget proposal (and what we think DC should do instead!) here: https://loom.ly/OjGj4FI

Do yourself a favor and stick your nose in some chokecherry flowers.

It me!! I’m the one making way more money on Beehiiv! Detailed breakdown (including hard numbers) tk

This week I started a very part-time job as a standardized/simulated patient at a school of nursing. I have so. Many. Thoughts and questions. It's SO INTERESTING!!!

Typographically this has a gravity and a cadence that is truly inspiring to me

As a pharma company, you know your position is morally indefensible when even business publications like Forbes are scathing about your refusal to supply HIV drugs to MSF and much of the world, while charging the few you do sell to exorbitant prices. 1/4 www.forbes.com/sites/judyst...
