Go birds!

What is everyone's favorite Avatar quote? Mine is: “Sure we’ve had Avatar, but what about second Avatar?”

(Peri)Menopause books are so frustrating. I don’t want a rant about how modern medicine has failed women. I don’t want a book that uses that failure to hawk supplements. If someone compares homeopathic belladonna to vaccines, I don’t trust their evaluation of breast cancer research.

Reposting this older Christmas classic - Santa Habronattus! A tiny little guy perched on a Christmas ornament, with his bushy white beard and Santa Claus colors. #SciArt #Spiders #Invertebrates

I think this is referencing Matthew 15:5-6. Christian nationalism is grotesque.

Happy solstice! ☀️☀️☀️

Made it to the Little Tomato scene… www.youtube.com/shorts/VxZ1U...

I’m not sure if she’s feeling needy or if she knows I am, but Tegan has emotional support skills.

I often worry about whether videos I see are real or AI, but I don’t think AI could match this energy.

"there's a new serif in town"

jrr tolkien was the first to say "go birds." not many people know this

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas” Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

Fake news—No way he was that awake recently.

NEW: Earlier this month, I spent the day with the Luhmanns — a family rooted in theologically conservative Christianity. In the morning, the homeschooled teenage sons tracked ICE. In the afternoon, the mother aided an immigrant mother whose partner was deported. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

With the goal of reaching new ppl w/biodiversity action, we're expanding the Native Plant Project to bars. We're calling it Biodiversity Beers. In collab w/artists Marian Bailey, @hanfranstudio.bsky.social, & @the666cat.bsky.social, we're making pint glasses that encourage planting of native 🌱

I'm saddened to hear more bad news about eBike industry pioneers @radpowerbikes.bsky.social This effects three of my neighbors so I jumped on Rad Power's customer service chat and was further disappointed and confused by their response. www.cpsc.gov/Warnings/202...

Yay!

I probably should have specified to the universe that I like bugs and buns separately. I do not love having bugs on buns!

Need to repaint after adding insulation but can’t quite match the existing color so you have to paint everything? Problematic beige gap.

We’re up to 38% of last year. Wanna help me get a little closer to last year? SquidFacts.net Advent starts in ~2 weeks! I’ll be packing up orders all morning and tonight! Advent calendars fund @skypeascientist.bsky.social’s programming. They’ve been our biggest fundraiser for the last 3 years!

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

😍😍 Received this gorgeous calendar today by @sarahmackattack.bsky.social and @megstampede.bsky.social

The nods acronym made me giggle.

Just thinking about this scene today

Working on some last minute Astronaut Vessels for Saturday's restock. But they're a little different than usual...😸 I was thinking about cats and how the world can be falling apart around them but they still go about their day, hiding discomfort, quietly enduring.

I’m starting to have difficulty finding romaine for my rabbits. Contemplating how to grow some on my own. I have some outdoor space, but nothing set up to grow in cold weather. I don’t have good windows for plants indoors. Open to advice. (Hydroponics? Mini greenhouses? Favorite seed vendors?)

Re-watching the ninth inning. It appears Blue Jays Chris Bassit drew #51 on his cap for Dodger Alex Vesia. What a class act.

Careless people…

Tegan too

Welp. Fuck Amazon. I don’t blame the authors for this business decision—90 days of exclusivity will end—but I have been eagerly awaiting the audiobook. I am obsessed with this story, and audiobooks are better for my eyes. I guess I can use the @libro.fm credit I was saving on something else now.

Over a decade away, I miss regularly riding on the Diagonal trail.

Sharing a sign with Adaline Moore must be meaningful. (I am seriously obsessed with The Inheritance)

Poached pears in tea. Made syrup from the poaching liquid. Put syrup in tea. Ah the cycle of leaf.

I don’t want to read the article, but I am curious if he knows which episode that image is from.

By popular demand: I've opened a Kickstarter for a HOP T-shirt! If I get 50 preorders I'll do a print run! www.kickstarter.com/projects/201...

Hot take: The phrase “timeline cleanse” should generally refer to something involving actual cleaning.

Timeline cleanse

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Hopefully not an eternal question.

This thread made me laugh

What a great response. Settings and defaults can be so thorny, and I appreciate their thoughtfulness.

Ok, but how do we know this is a real right-winger not some generic reddit troll?
