Remember how when Blu-ray came out, every movie you bought included a DVD and a digital copy? I need book publishers to start doing that. When I buy a new book, I want to get a hardcover for my shelf plus the Kindle edition. #booksky

This is Lucie. The stairs in her home are unfortunately haunted. She gets possessed every time she goes down them. 13/10

we are all understandably wondering "how afraid should i be?" but that's not actually a helpful question because even if it were answerable, the information wouldn't be useful. the question we need to be asking is "what power do i have?" and one thing i know for a fact you all can do is be annoying.

This is Buster. He's having the best day ever. Gets to play in the pool AND get rained on at the same time. 13/10 every lab's dream

President Trump has taken executive action to destroy the few protections in place for ensuring that AI is safe and responsible. Commonsense guardrails for federal deployment of AI are crucial to guaranteeing that innovation makes our lives better, not worse.

I’m going to a friend’s house to play Guitar Hero tonight and couldn’t be more excited. Time to rock like it’s 2005.

When Senator Tuberville was 13 years old in 1967, ADHD had not even been added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. He would happily remove your access to mental health meds. Pay attention.

I survived because the dumpster fire within me burned brighter than the dumpster fire around me

Some of the fear folk are feeling rn is connected to a sense of not knowing what to do. That’s ok. You don’t have to know, you just need to connect w/ the people & orgs who do! Seek out those who’ve BEEN doing justice & care work; they have knowledge & strategy that’ll help us organize & fight back

it's not an ironclad principle but as a general rule of thumb: if an American pastor is constantly whining about religious persecution, they're probably not a very good pastor. if they're actually getting death threats, they're probably doing something right.

A version of Christianity that tramples the poor and marginalized in favor of the rich and powerful is a religion completely at odds with the teachings of Jesus.

Snow day on the gulf coast!

So am I just supposed to click “Accept All Cookies” until I die? IS THERE NOT A MORE ABUNDANT LIFE?

Apple officially renews sci-fi drama Silo for two more seasons to close out the story

Bear was overdue for a haircut.

Who among us hasn't woken up screaming from their demon bird dream only to realize it was just the smoke detector battery going dead? 🫣

Finally got around to @jamiebgolden.bsky.social’s #greenlight Drowning by T.J. Newman. I loved how this book started right in the middle of the action and didn’t slow down. More than just thrills, it’s also a beautiful exploration of how we hold on to grief. Can’t wait to read T.J.’s other books!

Sometimes, a few of the more friendly #turtles even try to come inside! The dogs don’t particularly like that, though.

We recently rescued a baby turtle from the pool. It had gotten trapped in the skimmer and was helplessly swirling around in the current. So tiny! 😍

My husband and I bought a house a few months ago that came with (at least) 8 #boxturtles that live in the back yard. We’ve had so much fun watching and learning about them.

The end of an era. 😢 My twitter account has been deleted. I'm sad for what has been lost, but I'm also mildly excited about starting over and experiencing something new.
