This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Guess who's presenting with two of my favorite colleagues this year?

You olds don't need to hear this, but to you youngbloods out there, I come to you from the future: when the news begins talking about ways to save money for the holidays, rather than getting you hyped to drown in debt buying shit, that means shit is WAY FUCKING WORSE than they are letting on.

Good news! I've listed the last remaining Orcanize jumbo canvas totes in my shop. Reminder, these are on clearance and will not be reprinted, and are discounted, down from $25 now just $19. Get yours before they're gone! www.thornwolf.com/shop/p/dont-... #BSNM #SciArt #Orcanize #Orca

MeiMei is now cone and cancer free! Hoorayyy!

So saddened by the news that we have lost Alice Wong. It was an honor to know her and learn from her. May the lessons she shared continue to guide us for years to come.

Someone should invent a new sleeping position that works

the amount of times @jowoelwrites.bsky.social made me cry over an old chihuahua on stream should be criminal.

Don't want it to be a weekday. Don't want it to be a workday. Don't want to get up and do all the things.

I'm already ready for the English version! Here's me, waiting to read:

Noticed this morning there’s a harry potter audiobook nominated for the goodreads choice awards, in case you’d like to go over there and vote for literally anything else. This is a small thing, but potentially a tangible way you can help divert a little money away from JKR’s pocket.

The 12 Days of Christmas “advent calendars” piss me off. Advent marks the fourth Sunday before Christmas until, well, Christmas. Modern calendars go from Dec 1 to the 24th. The twelve days refer to Dec 25 to Jan 6. These are different timespans!

It’s so funny how we killed cable tv and replaced it with…. cable tv.

Not everyone has met Sam Vimes.

We have a full weekend meaty breakfast chorus this morning. #EverybodyLovesMousecow #ScampiVonMonkeyface #AndMissyToo

Tech bros burning the world down because they think they are too big to be allowed to fail 😡

IT'S BEEN One week since the surgery "So can I ditch the cone?" I said "no, sorry"

Missy came for a fuss this morning before Mousecow could... #EverybodyLovesMousecow #AndMissyToo

As another UN climate conference begins, I'm seeing even fewer Americans than ever talking about climate change, which is what the fossil fuel companies want. News groups are firing climate reporters and that doesn't help. Don't stop bringing this up. It hasn't gone away www.bbc.com/news/live/cw...

We only rate dogs. This is spaghetti con salsiccia. Obviously has the noodles and the sausage, but is notably missing sauce. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 (IG: futrinka_tacsko)

#SanDiego locals, on Dec 7 the Volcan Mountain Foundation is hosting an artist’s reception for their 2025 grant recipients (me!) where I’ll be discussing my painting “Forest Treasures - Mountain Lion” based on my Volcan Mountain residency. Hope to see you there! volcanmt.org/events/event...

One of the few things I loved about living in New Mexico was the occasional road runner sighting. Such cool lil birds.

One week...

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

My new book NAP COMIX is available to pre-order on Kickstarter! It includes the first year's worth of comics from the webcomic, as well as LOADS of exclusive content. Please take a look here: tinyurl.com/napcomixks It's the perfect book for any new parent/experienced parent/parent-to-be! 💗

If the dead don't want to be spoken of poorly then they should have been better people in life.

More ideas here, these were made with "low brain power/physical energy" as a target rather than low cost, and some of them are thin on instructions if they're more common. But many of them are/can be low cost! guides.jammyness.com/archive.php?...

It is once again "shove thing in rice cooker" season

This is your yearly reminder that this form of cranberry sauce is peak. That fancy Martha Stewart recipe? Complete trash. This here? 'Ol reliable. The Tight End you can count on for a first down, your comfort movie, a Honda Civic on a cold morning. Zero ego, 100% performance.

So mad I had to check the Indigenous percentage of Canada's population It's 5% 5%, from an already impoverished and systemically disenfranchised people, are expected to bear the burden of 1/5 of the total cuts

Day four of the Fall Fundraiser - quiet day so far. Halloween kept everyone running, I think! If you feel like tossing something into the pot while you're recovering, we'd love to catch it. Venmo: @RK-Tillman PayPal: [email protected] Cashapp: $ruthkt agaishanlife.com/2025/10/fall...

Halloween highlight

I'm still anti-algorithm in my feeds. If I follow someone, I want to see their posts. If I don't, I unfollow them. Am I the only one who highly curates my feeds to ensure I'm seeing what I want to on a regular basis without a company interfering in my selection?

I find it wild that despite 20+ years of experience telling us that giving people an extremely public and performative way to share every single action they make online will result in mass behavioral chaos, that solution continues to be "ok so how can we make it even MORE public and performative?"

It's very concerning that the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee was terminated and there's little awareness of it. This has me concerned that more predatory/crap science will become part of PubMed. #medlibs

Staying in this Hallows Eve? Why don't you join us for some spooky #fairytalefriday adventures? Once Upon A Reflection is a #cyphersystem #actualplay where we've fallen into fairyland.... But there's no happy ending here. Live at 5:30 PST/8:30 EST Twitch.tv/Alteredechoarchives

Carla is KILL-ING-IT on her new project Settlers of the Storm Worlds!! Loooook at these inks, that delicious hand lettering!! The SOUND EFFECTS!! This woman RULES.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Because people think you're a bitch if you don't. See also: add emoticons, softening qualifiers, and any other happy-go-lucky, no-worries-if-not! flair.

Here's a sentence with an exclamation point! Here's a regular sentence with a period where I say what I want to say. Now here's another exclamation point so you don't think I'm a bitch! From, Every woman ever
