Also, if all your friends are neurospicy and you're the token neurotypical, no you're not

queer family vacation ✨

I'm on queer family vacation and, talking about the baby swans we saw, someone asked "What's the word? Isn't there a technical term for baby swans?" and the word "cygnet" rang through the room in like five or six voices. And then, after a perfect comic beat, someone said "Neurotypical-ass room."

What they don't teach you about heatwaves: It's not just heat. It's: • Your crops dying • Your river drying (Rhine is low again, disrupting shipping) • Your lungs burning from wildfire smoke • Your power grid collapsing It's everything at once.

I think a movie about how aggressive war launched on a pretext and increasing rejection of kindness to strangers can make societies fall apart has some current relevance, even if it takes place in a mythologized past.

what if some sun and sand with beloved friends? what if some much needed joy?

hi this is a really big deal. Chaco Canyon is one of the most important historical sites in North America. the area tribes are extremely opposed to this. please please please comment on this with the BLM. it takes two minutes.

We didn't previously integrate wildfire-smoke costs into the supposed cost of climate change for the US, and it turns out to be bigger than all those other costs combined. Oops! Gosh I wonder if we're underestimating anything else. Probably shoulda done something about this. Ah well.

Friends, I love anything that brings art to wider audiences, but these automated bot accounts often hurt my heart in reposting substandard & degraded art reproductions. This is much closer to what Klimt's painting actually looks like; or you can view it in person at MoMA www.moma.org/collection/w...

Scientists just found the first-ever name of a Maya astronomer. His name was Sak Tahn Waax, meaning “White-chested Fox.” Maya astronomers have long lived in obscurity, uncredited for their work. Now we finally have a name. #Archaeology #AncientMaya @antiquity.ac.uk 🧪🏺 New at #NationalGeographic

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Mary Morello, the anti-censorship activist who founded Parents for Rock and Rap, has died at 102. She was also the proud mother of Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, who she introduced onstage as the best band in the universe. zurl.co/KH368

Y'all, this article is so good because it makes it clear that the crappy tools are a result of the way no one takes gynecological pain seriously.

A thing I keep forgetting to cheer about: last week I started my Masters in Teaching Students with Disabilities at NYU. In late August I’ll start my student teaching at a charter school that focuses on serving NYC students in the foster care system and dealing with housing insecurity.

The fantasy, the dream, of a man who loves you well enough to try again, to adjust his own behavior, after taking the effort to imagine what might have broken your heart so as to cut him so deeply when he tried to grasp its jagged edges before 😭😭😭😭😭

Lindsey Graham was ashamed of what he should have been proud of and proud of what he should have been ashamed of.

My unpopular opinion is that a senator saying "Lindsey Graham and I disagreed on most things, but he was willing to reach across the aisle to advance meaningful legislation in a way that's now sadly rare" is very different than "we disagreed on most things, but I'll always remember his warm smile."
