It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

@samreich.bsky.social I want you to know that I'm watching Babylon 5 right now. The phrase "I/We have always been here" comes up several times during that show. However, thanks to YOU all I hear is "I've been here the whole time". I hope you're proud of yourself (you should be).

My good friend @vvalcourt.com just put this amazing project online! A directory/network/subscription site for trans, NB and gender non-conforming people. It's brand new and extremely exciting! So get on there and say hi to the creators!

”We are really in a hurry and we have to be very clear that we have to scale up and we have to speed up.” Frederiksen earlier this month dropped a long-standing Danish government objection to common debt issuance by the EU to help fund procurement and defence industrial production. WAY TO GO

Morning!

Happy Friday! Pixel latex time ✨

I'm sure I will lose this status very quickly, but at least I will be able to say that I once had the biggest Danish account on Bluesky.

Okay. NOW it’s finished. (See if you can find all the extra ducks I added to the picture too!) #pixelart #artpost #pixquare

Alien: Romulus is pretty good, got to see it last night. I really like how hostile to humans they make the entire environment seem. Andy is an amazing addition to that whole part of the movie too. Do not watch it for the space physics, though. Spoilers in reply tweet.

I spent several years on unemployment assistance which was in the same area as this and: It's an absolute lifesaver. The amount of energy you spend on money when you don't have them is insane.

As long as you’re talking about this can you please use your platform to point out that it’s never actually a contronym? Literally’s use as an intensifier doesn’t carry a lexical meaning of “figuratively”, it’s much closer to “hyperbolically”, but really just an intensifier. /exasperated linguist

In theory, I only care about the Helldivers debacle to the extent that my friends who enjoyed the game are no longer enjoying themselves. In practice, I love a good mass strike-out against a big corporation.

Gonna have to say, that’s a “yes” from me, dog.

So Utah, having passed a transphobic bathroom bill, has launched an online form for people to snitch on folks they think are in the "wrong" bathroom or locker room. Be a real shame if people on the Internet flooded it with fake reports: ut-sao-special-prod.web.app/sex_basis_co...

The unprecedented destruction of housing in Gaza hasn’t been seen since World War II, the UN says

Someone out there definitely needs to know that you can get an RPG named Cattails, where you play as a cat. I don't know who you are, but I've been on the internet. Some of you are interested.

Apparently, I used the phrase "out of spoons" when talking to my mother. Apparently, she wasn't aware of the metaphorical use. I just got these in the mail.

So, look. When I was back at Microsoft, an issue that came up was the device owner's need for privacy. There might be things on your device you don't want people to see! The semi-official code for these was "family photos".

Please borrow my book from the library. I love libraries. They are the best. They are good for readers, and good for books, and also very good for writers. Please support your local library in any way you are able to, including by checking out books.

This is great... except that almost without exception DC and Marvel comics "solve" problems with violence... and that very much appeals to those rightwingers unable to understand context and subtext...

so many people who are otherwise against anti-trans bills will consider the sports bans because of “fairness” and they need to read articles like this one “especially because I get ice cream when I score” she’s just a normal kid who wants to play soccer with her friends let her play

Just received a pile of Gustave Dore-illustrated first editions of The Idylls of the King. Though I didn't use to like Tennyson's poems, I became quite fond of these... and then there's the Dore illustrations, which really make the writing come to life...
