Taco Bell will make you shit rainbows out of your ass! Happy Pride!

The Purple Heron distinctive vertical neck stripe shows the route its dinner takes to its sudden doooom.

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

I find myself considering language and its ever evolving nature, especially in the queer world, this pride season. I’ve always considered myself bi. But that very much linguistically enforces a binary that doesn’t really exist in either life or my attraction to people. 1/4

I stand with trans and non binary people. This is a difficult and scary time - and the Govenrment must reject the framework. It's vital that everyone is treated with dignity and care and far too often trans and non binary people aren't. Solidarity always 🏳️‍⚧️

Pride is hitting a little differently this year. All month long, we'll be posting some direct, concrete things YOU can do to stand up for our community. Let's Go! #PrideinActionDelaware #SussexPrideAdvocacy #DelawareAntiViolenceProject #SussexPrideHealth #HIVDelaware

The Mayor also slipped on a Freudian banana, making his proclamation to the "LGBTQ-AI community"....

Happy Pride Month. If you know a young person (age 13-26) in the US who is getting their access to queer library books restricted because of local small-minded folks, please refer them to the Books Unbanned program. More people should know about it. #pride booksunbanned.com/card

This this this

We are off to quite the auspicious start to today’s game of “how many times will I have to remind my loved ones about how problematic the term ’healthy’ is when referring to food” Food is good if you enjoy it Food is bad if it has spoiled or you have an allergy/significant sensitivity

😌

Someone asked me how I can continue to write fiction where people find a way to be better when the world now shows it's not the case. And fella, nothing the fash want you to do more than give up on hope but you really must not. If it's getting too dark to see you don't turn out the lights.

Happy pride month, with a very special fuck you to every corporation who claimed to support queer and trans folks in the past and Are showing their asses as money grubbing hos who never actually gave a shit this year by pulling sponsorships and monetary support.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Unexpected bike ride and stop at the brewery w the spouse. That and a 5k PR (and David Sedaris last night) = a good start to the weekend.

5:15 ride through woods to event - gosh I love the woods. Trees are the fucking best. 8:15 - sunset 8:50 ride through woods to get home (w pod about disappearances in the woods) - Woods Are spooky! Oh thank goodness my light has a charge. Is that another human? go away other human!

Apparently David Sedaris brings all the best people out. I know like 6 people here. And ran in to three of them at his talk at my local bookshop today.

#FungalFriends in my very own yard yesterday

I absolutely refuse to sign on to a meeting that I am running more than 2 min before it’s scheduled start time. I will NOT reward people stressing me out by jumping in the min when the 15 min reminder pops up

First #FungalFriends of the year!!

Another AI literacy lunch and learn today. 🤢 Options on poll for what we use does NOT include “Fuck AI” which it should. “None yet - this is new to me” is the closest. Almost glad I didn’t go to the gym this morning. I am sure I will have a lot of rage to work off by the end of this.

Once again, inevitable question: if this is what they’re doing to Senator Kim in front of cameras, what are they doing to the detained people inside that facility bsky.app/profile/davi...

I would have much preferred this sort of rainy day to the productive one I’ve been having. Maybe tomorrow.

No fun fungus, but I did encounter a Marsh Deer!

This is fucking insanity www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

I’m still big mad about my job implementing a more conservative dress code. I should be spending the holiday weekend rainbow-ifying my hair. Shoutout to pre “you must have your camera on for all meetings“ hair choices.

Due to plebs such as myself taking up running, the yuppie scum had to take up ultras. Enjoy those 100 miles in 100°F +. I’m going to stop to take pictures of cool fungus on my 11 miles tomorrow. #SorryNotSorry (please let there be cool fungus)

I absolutely hate that I don’t know (due to audio medium and *waves hands around*) if @erinbartram.bsky.social did a “Book Talk” or a “BookTok”. But this is another banger ep of TGS with @ceaubin.com and @mattseybold.bsky.social along with Erin. Still sad I couldn’t attend. At least I could listen.

What the fuck???

We live in the future y'all. My spouse bought a v fancy car in which I can use my phone as a key. (He also keeps blocking me in so I’ve been enjoying said very fancy car even as I feel out of place)

"my cats did not go to your posh cat schools" is the best thing I've read today

"EXCUSE me, in high school I kissed literally twos of women" (said by a gay man to a friend giving him shit for his cluelessness about female behavior) is the hardest I've laughed at one of my own jokes in years and I can't believe I spent it on a guy who appears in flashback in exactly one chapter

Some of these coaches definitely look like they are the homophobic asshole characters in My hockey romances.

Thursday nights at Trivia are way more exciting during the NHL playoffs post Heated Rivalry. I just can’t help ponder who is hooking up with who and whether or not they have professed their love yet.

AI is the thneed of technology

Don’t be embarrassed to know stuff. People should be embarrassed to not know stuff.

i don’t want to talk to my things either. i have siri off. my roku tv is always telling me to talk to the remote and i refuse!! i just want to click and select, it’s easier anyway!

TMBG show tonight was amazing. They ended the first set with Particle Man and the show with Istanbul. So happy to see that they are still two weirdos making weird music. More people should be able to make a living making weird music. Also: fucking kudos to the horns. absolutely amazing.

They should

This is what happens when pregnancy outcomes are criminalized. The charges against Patience Rousseau in Nevada were shockly cruel and ignorant. But eventually she prevailed, and her courage and tenacity are inspring.

As a humanities scholar this is bizarre. I don't think you should be listed as the author of a paper if you haven't read it or don't understand the things it references. That feels... basic?

One of my favorite things about ren faires, which are not a thing where I grew up and are hilarious to observe in the U.S. because you're all "oh we need to steal some history too, not just land" is how consistently welcoming they have been to the Starfleet away teams who keep visiting

Two beautiful herons yesterday afternoon

I absolutely love my local theatre. Show was cute, and as always extremely well done. I’m always SO impressed at their use of the small stage and what they do with minimal scene/set changes. Milton may be a tiny town but they absolutely Bring It.

I was happy to see a good crowd at the @indivisiblesode.bsky.social flag wave this morning. Unfortunately the MAGA asshats are back out too (worth noting that THEY aren't out there every weekend like indivisible) Complete with “ULTRA MAGA” flag and rocking out to gay icons The Village People 🙄

Considering that I first heard “Can Yanni help clear dirty fluid from your brain” and my spouse confirmed that that was what I heard (because he misheard me)I was primed to believe just about anything about yawning and CSF www.sciencefriday.com/segments/why...

"US judge blocks DoJ’s demand for Rhode Island hospital’s records of trans patients" “[The justice department] has proven unworthy of this trust at every point in this case,” [the judge] wrote.
