Seriously loving these videos

It's a three state recall of very ordinary things to find at a drug store.

I wonder if he tried ctrl-z?

My first novel, Blue Water Dreams, is for sale at a deep discount, which makes the paper book/ebook bundle an even better deal. www.boldstrokesbooks.com/books/blue-w...

My favorite Christmas song is Born in a Barn by ¡Tchkung! Written by James Lane and Rick Wilson.

I really like these photos, and the article tells an interesting story about the photographer.

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

I'm filled with wonder.

Recently read a wedding planner romance series and honestly I can't feel happy about the wholesale flower slaughter. I mean, is this the worst thing in the world? Not even close. But. Anyone who loves me will know that encouraging life is my number one desire and that cut flowers sadden me.

Good Trouble ✊

I'm now obsessing on fuchsia.

I was asked yesterday if I thought that English might benefit from a governing academy, like French, and noted that a language that, to date, supports dreamed and dreamt, dove and dived, and pleaded and pled, is not a language you can govern. (And I wouldn't want to.)

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Plus it feels good!

I second the no.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

Today, I am 50 years old and getting used to my new look. The new, still crusty tattoo piece features a beloved water bird for each of the 5,000 nautical miles I've sailed.

Half of my 50th birthday tattoo is inked. The other half is scheduled for Saturday!

You can syrup my pancakes.

To all my fellow Mathematicians, Happy Fibonacci Day.

My take: The most repulsive and obscene thing about the RFK affair is the part where the rubella virus penetrates the placenta and pours itself into the fetal eye, ear, and brain and destroys them. Either that or when measles virus snuffs out memory B & T cells and erases the entire immune system.

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

I had a pretty fun frost this morning.🌱🍁🌿❄️

Stop being exciting, says Beluga Greyfinger

How I wish my elected officials were conducting business. youtu.be/XZkpr8FcErA?...

Whew, I mean, I want that to be a benediction but I can't remember the context and damn did that writer do a slick curse

This is his pardon, purchas’d by such sin For which the pardoner himself is in.

This holiday season, give Jeff Bezos and Amazon the gift of zero dollars. 🥰

Thanks to @lindstorian.bsky.social for reminding me of this perfect gif.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Yep, especially when there are no unclaimed lands to sow or sleep on. The regression is neverending once it's "well, build something!" Where? With what tools? "Mine the metals for shovels!" Where? With what tools? We need collective answers to these collective needs.

Republicans running anti-trans hatefests lost and Zohran Mamdani is a hugely vocal supporter of trans and other LGBTQ rights. That is MASSIVELY important to look at and run on. Roll around in all this & soak it in. This is the good shit, & it should be celebrated. And then it should be Built on.

obama's election night was pure magic, but it was also a moment without a movement, obama disbanded his army the next day. this election night is every bit as magical, but in the meantime we built movements that cannot be disbanded and we know in our bones that what zohran says must be what he does

Cuomo is basically running on "New York is a shithole and terrible and I hate it, but I will SUFFER MYSELF to be mayor to help out you PEONS" Meanwhile Mamdani is Winston at the end of Ghostbusters

EVERY TRANS SUICIDE IS A MURDER.

The Adoptee Citizenship Act must be updated! This is an injustice. 🥚 #adopteesky www.bbc.com/news/article...

Those vegan bac'n bits are actually pretty good for adding salt element to pancakes. Usually I scramble eggs but we've been away from land long enough to be out of eggs. Experimentation is it's own reward.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Really wish we hadn't created a society where the worst people have all the power and use it to steal resources, oppress the rest of us, & run cover for each other while they're stealing said resources and oppressing said rest of us. Kleptocrats lying about resource extraction comes as no surprise.

I'm amused by the idea of searching for things there and then buying elsewhere, but to what degree are shoppers the product, whether or not they buy?

Here in Seattle, furloughed NOAA employees were out in the pouring rain cleaning up beaches yesterday, part of a national week of service organized by federal workers who can't do their jobs due to the shutdown. Story by @heyjohnryan.bsky.social at KUOW, our federally defunded public radio station.

I learn so much better reading than listening but I'm pretty impressed by all the ways auditory learners can engage nowadays. And this seems like something I'd like to know more about.

"Making language grounds for official suspicion is a particularly insidious suppression of speech, bc it makes you question not just your ideas but your means of expressing them. Everything else about you is stripped away; you are a person who speaks Spanish, and that is all anyone needs to know"
