Yay for protesters against gerrymandering

Me, making sure I have my list of medications before leaving the house for a first appointment with a new healthcare provider, "Heels, nails, blade, mascara. Fit check for my napalm era."

Hey folks, it's Jen. I need your help to save my sister. These are outrageous times, and I find myself writing these words: Please donate and spread the word, to help my sister fight FEDERAL charges...for vandalism. Of a Tesla dealership. No joke. www.gofundme.com/f/help-lucy-...

There are some topics where I disagree with the conventional wisdom. I think I’m right but I’m open to the possibility I might be wrong. However I’m tired of handling bad supporting arguments. I want to hear good ones. 1/

made a new friend this weekend!

Any time I hear about the importance and inevitability of AI in business I think about those few years when everyone was certain that zeppelins were the future of air travel.

If you usually wonder whether a picture was created by AI, If you often analyze whether a claim or suggestion is practical, If you habitually consider who benefits from something, Please continue doing those things when a post includes a person using a mobility aid.

Delightful new Kpop MV released today, SHINee "Poet | Artist" In computer science in the 1990s we called that symbol in the middle of the title a pipe, but what's it called in typography? www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF6P... #Kpop #SHINee #Taemin #Key #Minho #Onew #Jonghyun

I love thinking about taxonomy problems. Further, understanding some of the pitfalls of taxonomy gives me useful perspectives on current news issues. Who counts as an immigrant? It's complicated. Who qualifies for an aid program? It's complicated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp5o...

I really appreciate the way @mercoglianos.bsky.social gives context to current events. He gives enough history and breadth to make news make sense, but he does it casually so it doesn't feel like a forced fact-filled flashback. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNSS...

The hope chest my grandpa made has me thinking about product safety. It's shaped like an old-fashioned toy chest where the top swings open on hinges. Child-me was warned to be careful opening and closing it because it could slam and hurt my fingers. 1/

Good job, Salt Lake City. www.slc.gov/mayor/2025/0...

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

I had a handed-down TRS-80 with a tape drive.

You've heard of apocryphal Spiders George who taught everyone about statistical outliers? Meet real Snakes Tim helping to rescue people from venom. I am astounded he's not from Florida.

cultural work is work writing-creating-arting-publishing-librarying-museuming-teaching-professoring is WORK over 25% of United Auto Workers members alone are academics happy may day!

And on a day I can't take a step forward I can work at staying in place instead of losing ground. And if I lose ground, eh, some days go like that and maybe tomorrow I can take a small step forward.

The international food safety standards, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 are third-party verified systems that guarantee food safety. Look for companies who are certified.

The next time I sprain an ankle, I want to open doors with a button instead of holding them open with a crutch while I crutch through them.

So many levels here

My latest post, about how important it is that we stand with transgender people right now. (Thank you to @gwenners.bsky.social for her help with this one! Follow her!)

Taemin's performance of "Heaven" during his Ephemeral Gaze tour is amazing and portentous. This is a good thread. #Taemin #Kpop

i need the television movie, and i need it NOW

I love this song, which is not an Easter song even though I'm posting it today. music.youtube.com/watch?v=MvUw... #Taemin #Kpop #Japanese

I, personally, can't do once a week, but I think I can manage more than once a month. And I can post about it to a subset of my FB friends and chat about what the protests were like to encourage a few more people to take to the streets slightly more often.

i get messages sayin 'i want to be the next chuck tingle' and yes this is flattering but buckaroo it is not the question. the question is: 'how can you be the next YOU?' the truth is there is nobody better at proving love in YOUR UNIQUE WAY than YOU can. you hold such incredible power. use it

New MV from a Super Junior subunit putting some pop in Kpop! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DhG... #Kpop #SuJu

“we make our own clothes!” vision vs. reality

If you turned into moss every full moon, would that make you a lichenthrope?

This is a nifty bit of genetic engineering and the resulting puppies are adorable. I want to talk about and celebrate those things. But I have ethical problems with assertions that they are direwolves, that they are members of an extinct species. That's not a correct description.

Post your green art!

The linked article is an interesting example of how people and companies can avoid thinking about a problem.

When you see a chart with a giant drop that's trying to make you panic about the stock market, please remember that they chose a date range to maximize visual impact. Charts for the past month and the past year give useful context. www.marketwatch.com/investing/in... 1/

I'm not saying Trump won't try to end dual citizenship, but Newsweek says Trump did not make a Truth Social post about it and the screenshot going around is fake. www.newsweek.com/fact-check-d... #News #DualCitizenship #Trump #Dual #Citizenship #Passport #FactCheck

The whole time I watched this 25 minute video I thought about #Kpop and how the South Korean record companies promote the members of their groups and their soloists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOx1...

Dangers lurk on the #Texas trails #FireAnts

Millennial test: Did you sing it?

This is a good idea, I'm gonna put "Advice" on loop. #Kpop #Taemin

Let’s watch the satellite recording compilation video and cry again m.youtube.com/watch?v=qNZC...

I am glad #Lucifer is trending ahead of the next #SHINee album. I'm curious whether that was initiated by the group members or by their record company. I'm generally interested in the logistics of #Kpop promotion.

I have watched more & more friends turn to Substack in the past few months. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! #Substack has well-documented problems with platforming literal Nazis, as well as writers spreading Covid misinformation, anti-vaccine propaganda, & transphobia. Long post here: bit.ly/substacksux

Y'all, the military and the DoD have processes for keeping information secure for a reason. This is astounding and appalling.

Today in #Kpop, #Ten from #WayV and #NCT has a creamy, languid new solo song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfoI...

Today a new Kpop rap song has me googling Formula One and League of Legends. Yay for learning new things! www.youtube.com/watch?v=diMy...
