Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

I don’t want to celebrate the US, but I do want to celebrate her citizens who rise to awesome challenges. Kelsey Pfendler is about to DESTROY the current record for rowing to Hawaii from CA by NINE DAYS. She should make landfall on the 3rd or 4th. Something to celebrate! yourowkelsey.com

Franz Joseph I, after his nephew was assassinated:

I played soccer for years and years so I am not learning this for the first time, but: it is so thoroughly European that no one knows exactly when the game is going to end and they just kinda call it when they’re done

Here’s what you should know about the historic heat wave headed our way. Especially if you’re (hypothetically) having your wedding at MSG this weekend.

if you are tuning into Schism Watch 2026, this is the important part. a bishop's consecration is supposed to begin with an Apostolic Mandate saying "the pope approves of these bishops." since they obviously don't have one, they read this jaw-droppingly audacious fuckery instead. Leo is going to flip

Happy July first! Your big of the month is (predictably) the lightning bug!

🚨 BIG BOAT STUCK 🚨 apnews.com/article/iran...

wake up babe, new schism just dropped

Here’s Why Weather Forecasts Have Seemed So Inaccurate Lately. Meteorologists simply aren't able to gather as much data as they used to, and you're suffering for it. gizmodo.com/heres-why-we...

When we toured the National Weather Center the guide said these trucks had not been out since last spring because of funding cuts

Ginger get the popcorn, there might be a Catholic schism

Fuck SCOTUS. I love you, friends.

Remember to log off and take a little mental health break when you can. Or just stare at this cute baby goat who doesn't know what SCOTUS is.

Brutal thread on heat illness. Take care of yourself and each other, no matter what the boss says. Donate to UFW at ufw.org/sparechange

Sometimes I think she knows I could use some extra adorable silliness because of the news. #uglydogs

Hey, if you're a sober girl like me, this shit is really hard right now. Anyway, don't break sobriety. It's hell right now but drinking or drugs won't make it better. I promise. The world is dark and scary but no matter what we stay sober. Okay?

Good day to post this sticker @kaylapekkala.com made at her @tinywerewolves.com shop tinywerewolves.com/collections/...

Fuck SCOTUS. I love you, friends.

love to my trans friends. fuck SCOTUS.

re: Kean 1. depression is a serious illness and it's important to treat it as such 2. in most cases, it's good for workplaces to allow for time off for illness 3. constituents need representation, and if a rep can't be around for six months, they should resign.

The good vibes you sent worked like a charm 🥰💜✨

Hey y'all wanna see a murder done with cell phone cinematography

Wow holy shit www.them.us/story/daught...

why is there no lightning bug emoji

Just another deserted American mall. I've seen more people in line at Auntie Anne's.

Mel Brooks has been around for 40% of the US's existence.

It's ok to prioritize your own health and look after your own needs. It's ok to wear a tiara of ancient goblin bones. It's ok to build a steam powered mechanical wolf to protect your yard from unusually large squirrels.

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

I genuinely think anyone with any weird systemic health shit doctors can't (or won't) figure out should try treating it like MCAS (antihistamines and a low histamine diet) and see if it gets better, especially people with an endocrine system running on estrogen since it's SO linked to that.

Lightning bugs have arrived on our block!! My next door neighbor Maggie & I just freaked the fuck out bc neither of us have seen one here in years. The native habitat worked!!! She’s lived here ~40 years & said the streets used to be full of them. She’d catch them as a girl. Now they’re back 😭😭😭

When I was a kid, blue herons and ospreys were about to go extinct. Now they fly over my house on the regular, because we stopped using DDT. If enough people stop using lawn chemicals and start planting diverse native plants, fireflies and other insects will return

I’m also interested in speaking with caregivers about how issues like racism may have delayed diagnosis for your loved one, if a solo interview with them isn’t possible. Please DM or email sluterman at 19thnews dot org. (2/3)

I am looking for women of color, particularly BIPOC, to interview about early Alzheimer’s diagnosis — That is, diagnosis before symptoms progressed significantly and how it has changed how you live your life. 1/3

Honestly did not expect another Monday today

I always take the trash out at the end of petsitting for my parents. Sure, it's one less chore for them to do when they get home. But mostly I do it to conceal the evidence that I bring multiple-ply toilet paper with me to use while they're gone.

Pisces: Don't worry about the dark cloud hanging over you lately. You'll have worse things to worry about soon.

Aries: Love will find you. This time it’s personal.

Taurus: Harness the clarity you’re feeling lately to probe deeply into the worst things you’ve ever done. Introspective self-loathing is the theme for you this week, Taurus. Really get in there.

omg BLESS the man who straightens the mayor's lapels after he emerges from the water, give him the key to the city
