Regret to announce that we’ve reached Wrong Coat season. Every coat you wear from now til mid April will be The Wrong Coat for the weather

Just realized that I’ve been with one of my hubbies for more than 1/3 of my life

One of the hubbies & I were watching #Jeopardy and I got to thinking… What category & clue would you make if given the chance? Mine is #RoleplayingGames

#TIL that #antimatter was discovered in 1932 as #positron s. The model that first predicted the possibility of positrons was theorized in 1928. That’s before FM radio (1933), magnetic tape recorders (1934), and canned beer (1935) #physics #ScienceHistory en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron

I moved where I live now just over 20 years ago. I have friends, both online and off, that I’ve known just as long or longer. I’ve been here almost half my life. Wow.

This is… astoundingly good

Sent this one to my beloved @anarchocatfan.bsky.social.

Just learned there's an RPG for the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park. Gonna have to check this out. youtu.be/v6Lh4ayWtmc

Happy #ValentinesDay, #GalentinesDay, and #PalentinesDay! And for those who none of these apply/appeal, we got something for you, too!

The Homeland Security shutdown: 5 things to know www.npr.org/2026/02/14/n...

Surya Bonaly is a multi Olympian, world medalist, euros champion, and French national champion, and did it all during a time when #figureskating wasn’t exactly the friendliest to its skaters of color. But sure, let’s reduce her to fake news about her doing a (really awesome) one footed backflip.

The Super Bowl commercials last night were generally terrible ... but I hadn't seen the Billy Bass ad until this morning. This one made me laugh. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FimJ...

Seconding this, *hard*. Income threshold is $60k, I believe. For future ref, IRS has page to look for free online filing sites. Search “IRS free tax filing”

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Game time! Using D&D stats (10 is average, scaling is like 10 INT=100 IQ, 15=150 IQ, etc.), what’re your real world stats? If you could add +5 to 2 stats, which ones & why? Mine are STR 8, DEX 10, CON 8, INT 15, WIS 12, CHA 10. I’d bump CON & CHA. Healthier & better people skills? Yes please!

So I've been listening to a lot of Frank Zappa lately. When you're sitting on the fringe of bear culture, these sometimes write themselves... youtu.be/Q913bGayHSY

Just what is broken in his brain? Because whatever it is was so fundamental & damaging that it snuffed out his humanity. In this day & age of multiculturalism, what made him such a virulently racist man? What started it? There is no forgiveness for him by now, but I want to understand *why*

Huh. Stumbled across thread of woman posting vids supposedly of Ukrainian men being kidnapped/“forcibly drafted” for army. Her analysis is U/R is proxy war b/t Western & Russian oligarchs (ok point of debate) & that war should stop (yes) by U not fighting (?!?!). Nothing abt R stopping, mind you.

Hey, #SCP peeps (especially mods &/or admins): back when I was still on the site, I wrote a Project Crossover Tale with Welcome to Night Vale called “And Now The We[EXPUNGED]” that appears to have been deleted. What happened?

Another one of mine with @photosynthetic.bsky.social 😁 #SCP #SCPFoundation #SCP1400 #sirens #GasMask

Lovely vid about one of mine! #SCP #SCPFoundation #SCP974

Lovely fan art of one of mine #SCP #SCPFoundation #fanart #butterflies scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-553

Pick 1, 2, or 3. The more you pick, the weaker they are individually, though they can synergize. There’s a hard cap of (current) Superman level. Based on your choice(s), you get a primary, secondary, & tertiary power. What do you pick/get? #superpower #MakeYourChoice

With regards to the accolades given to @qntm.org ‘s book “There Is No Antimemetics Division” (which *richly* deserves them), I find it highly amusing how so many of the reviewers have obviously never HEARD of, much less READ, any #SCPFoundation stuff. He’s one of the best writers on the site, but…

So he definitely just had another stroke, right?

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement. However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read. I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here. I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

The guys & I just started #Pluribus thru ep 3 & jfc it’s terrifying. Like, I get that it’s kinda a dark comedy/horror-comedy, but oh my god. If I was in Carol’s place, once I realized I couldn’t bring my loved ones back? (No spoilers, plz) I’d probably off myself in short order.

Someone elsewhere brought up the true crimes that #GBBO has perpetrated w/ various “international weeks” & I just realized. They REALLY dislike messy. Like, a lot. And some foods are just supposed to be messy. Hard shell tacos? Messy. S’mores? Messy. A s’more you can eat w/ knife & fork failed.

Just a reminder that #pitties are so gentle, loving, & good w/ kids that they were used as “nanny dogs” in early 1900s. Almost all horror stories about “vicious pitts” involve dogs that were abused &/or trained for dog fighting. Treat your #pittie w/ love & it will repay in kind.

If you use a hashtag in your post, remember to capitalize the individual words so text-to-speech programs don’t hideously fuck it up as supposedly one word. Literally takes no extra time & makes things so much easier for vision impaired folks. #CapitalizeYourHashtags

Starsky & his bat ears are adorable this morning, as always. #dog #pet #DogsOfBluesky #DogSky #AdorablePet #pittie

It’s currently 70 degrees outside. Fuck.

If ever you feel like you haven’t accomplished anything, remember that the very first thing you did upon being born was get into a knife fight and still have the scar from it.

I’m in my mid-40s & fully expect to see the Gulf Stream collapse in my lifetime. Historically, the main reason Western Europe wasn’t a block of ice is b/c the GS brought warm water near. W/o it, Europe is going to get a lot colder. Who knows? It might counter the effects of global warming there.

I live on the East Coast of USA. You know what’s nice? Not having temps in the low 70s at the end of Dec/start of Jan. I’m not even a fan of winter & Jesus fucking Christ give me 12” of snow! Winter should not be warm enough to comfortably walk around outside in shorts! #ButClimateChangeIsAHoax

Something I think Trump et al didn’t consider (or are dismissing) is that this sets the precedent that a country can invade another one to kidnap its leadership & try them under the 1st country’s laws. How many war crimes have Trump &/or prominent Rs been charged with…?

This is my blood

Anything big and public like this coming out of Trump’s WH serves multiple purposes. Trump only barely knows ONE of them, ofc, but still So let’s see: pretext of abducting a sitting leader of another country in order to try him in our own courts biased against him. Destabilize an oil-producing…

Even w/o knowing she’s a white supremacist, there are LOTS of RIGHT-wing keywords: Fearless, boundary-pushing, controversial, unapologetic, challenge taboos, polarizing humor… all this points to “comedy” that’s so odious & offensive that she has to have security screen out hecklers

Merry Barkmas from Starsky! #Xmas #MerryXmas #dogs #DogSky #DogsOfBluesky #BarkBox

This Christmas, I have just one wish for you: Take a moment to really see the older people in your life. Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible. Share a smile with an elder you don’t know. Offer a warm holiday greeting. Small gestures carry enormous power. Love,
 Lynda 🎄✨

Merry Christmas and friendly reminder that Jesus was a brown, woke, anti-capitalist refugee from the Middle East who had two dads, became a rabbi, wore flowing dresses, ran around with sex workers, preached radical inclusion, railed against income inequality, and was brutally killed by the police.

In our actual cyberpunk dystopia, there will remain in the dark nooks and crannies of the world machines which are cognitohazards people must avoid. Young people told "if you see one, don't fucking talk to it. Don't ask it any questions. It will drive you mad and get you to kill yourself."

The very first time that any of us met Starsky and it was obvious that he was our dog and we were his humans. The rescue was Dog Warriors Rescue in Raleigh, NC, btw. #DogSky #DogsOfBluesky #AdoptDontShop #dogs #RescueShelter
