Cherry Takes the Edge Off oh, I'm some sort of post-punk-pop-revival, amn't I?

Where is Renee Good's killer, Jonathan Ross? Where are Alex Pretti's killers, Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez? Who killed Ruben Ray Martinez? Who killed Silverio Villegas González?

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

Hi. If you have been here for a minute, and if you migrated over from the Nazi site formerly known as Twitter, Lenée has been foundational to so much in terms of community care, mutual aid, and just... harm reduction and trauma healing... even as she faced obstacle after obstacle. Please consider.

#Xinjiang 🌏 @hrw.org researcher @yalkun.bsky.social highlights the use of mass surveillance tools against the Uyghurs. "The Chinese government weaponizes information about people’s everyday lives — lawful & peaceful behaviors — and uses it against them."

"Bless me, what do they teach them at these schools?"

The anniversary of the BP oil disaster feels under-observed to me. It was such a huge, impactful, horrible event for everyone in my family, and so many people I know. Definitely on my personal list of “where were you when you heard about this” events.

So that is as unbiased as I can be. I think most people involved are acting in good faith but not extending any to anyone else. If you want to support Gazans I recommend a charity like the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund and lobbying your elected officials to cut funds to Israel. www.pcrf.net

World Central Kitchen's a good one too, AFAIK. wck.org/relief/chefs...

Telling your own true name is sweet, but I gotta admit, I always thought it was rude that he told Ged Yarrow's true name instead of letting her say it herself.

I don't have the spoons to read this entire thing right now but a) The Walrus does great work and b) I did read the first half and it's an important read. I'll definitely be circling back to finish it later

Damn it.

chip in, or help spread the word?

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

I agree with those who say that pointing and saying 'I might' sounds like a threat, in a 'the way things are going' way. So it is incumbent upon us to come up with someone better than Gavin Freaking Newsom.

longtime wrestling twitter folks will remember Saif, one of the best guys around. It's his birthday this week and he's doing a fundraiser to try and raise $10,000 in aid for those in Gaza. Please help or share if you can. He's been working tirelessly to raise money for them for years.

A Fox News lady whose name I can't remember once said, "Americans aren't into soccer because any sport that can be played coed after kindergarten is not worth playing." And this can be generalized to anything from high heels to the humanities.

It’s the last day of the month! Rent is due TOMORROW and we at StandWithMinnesota.com currently have zero donors. ICE is still here, and there is still so much need. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and help if you can! Thank you! 💐

discord just helped me buy 520 stamps for @romancingthevote.com but also to send out these stickers (yes I got the manatee stamps I'm only human) so I mean... go get your FUCK SCOTUS stickers. 🤣 maybe you'll get a manatee stamp!

you should read my article, in which I explain why westerners are obsessed with a completely fictional idea of 'honor culture,' where it came from, and then repeatedly dunked on pete hegseth

you know what's so interesting, is how INvestment is "not political" but DIvestment somehow always "is political," that's just so interesting

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

And yes, I know we just donated $100 to a baby with cancer. It's a baby. With cancer. Her chemo costs $2K a month. Plus travel costs. Everything else kind of pales in comparison. You can donate, too, here: gofund.me/fd86ecc06.

So I'm sitting on the bus politely discussing the route with the people sitting next to me. I note their accents --kinda Dutchish -- and ask where they're from

This is (I think) a Greater Blue-Eared Starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) & the amazing chrome job is their super-power. They've evolved to manipulate light in VERY specific ways, attracting mates, intimidating rivals. Let's look at the nanostructures that bring this bling into being.

Giving me flashbacks to a conversation I once had, many years ago, that included, "Babies are dying because of what these people are doing." "How many babies dying are we talking here? I mean, I know you're such a delicate soul that one dead baby is too many, but..."

Please note that I am not saying I am surprised that the government was lying. I am saying that it is bad and even though we expect it at this point, we should still be appropriately outraged that they have harmed so many people on the basis of a lie.

This is who keeps me safe at night

In 1919, the most dominant racehorse in the world was Man o' War. His career record was 20-1. His only loss was to a horse named ‘Upset.' This is NOT the origin of the word ‘upset.’ Evidence of ‘upset’ meaning “an unexpected defeat” dates as far back as 1877.
