the thing is the arc of justice is like, big, really big, so you have to insert the Maker Hooks in it so it cannot submerge back under the sand, and steer it by changing which chitinous plates you wrench open with them

Legitimately the best and most classic tweet.

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

Over on the other platform:

the tech industry right now is like the Cheeseoid robot from Mitchell and Webb except we've built the entire economy on forcing everyone to use Cheeseoid

Ted, just say queer, this is taking forever

How the turntables

famously loves being told what not to do

Pickup up Dysphonia by @vanillayote.bsky.social at Furthemore this past weekend, and, uh... ouch. Highly recommended but ouch. >.<

What if it's a bus and a regular number of clowns come out of it and start talking about the advantages of public transit

Ok but what if No Listen But Listen But What if A giant car. And only one clown comes out of it.

This is the question I wake up with and go to bed with every day and the rest of my real life is just a deserpate and failing attempt to avoid the question, since I have no answer for it. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"How does one hate a country, or love one? ... I lack the trick of it. I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, ... but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply?" - Ursula K. Le Guin

There’s something especially corrosive about the disposition of these appeals, where a prisoner is condemned to a life behind bars with a single, unreasoned, unaccountable sentence from the court. And a lengthy, well-reasoned dissent goes unanswered by the Justices who wield this power.

Me at least once a week:

Thanks to @marisakabas.bsky.social for covering a story the MSM has ignored. With #USIP, as with everything: ♦️Trump does something utterly lawless. ♦️Months later, a judge tells him to stop. ♦️He doesn't. ♦️And nobody makes him. ♦️News cycle has LONG moved on. ♦️So nobody cares.

Pilot on my flight: “Air travel is not fun right now. Please be nice to each other. I don’t want to be on CNN. Let’s just go home.”

any queer person or any immigrant is 10000x more brave than any troop or rightwing manly-man trumpster

guardrails? what guardrails?

You can put -sploitation behind any tag these days. Fuck it. Here's my werewolfsploitation. Motorcyclesploitation. I'm writing Ao3sploitation where authors are made to write longform erotic fiction and get called a bad dog if its not problematic enough.

The only way to get excommunicated from the D.C. cocktail party circuit and Serious Word Talker Man shows is to be obviously right before the consensus is established. Anyone who said the Iraq war would be a debacle got un-personed. The boosters still get booked for TV time as experts.

Headed to Furthemore this weekend. Let me know if you want to get together there! Also, if you're attending, highly recommend attending Super Art Fight. They always put on a great show :D

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow." legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2026/03/1...

TIL that flight attendants aren’t paid during boarding and that had simply not crossed my mind as a thing that was possible? what the actual fuck

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

"Going easy on yourself is a muscle you have to develop." Adam Savage often has a lot of... Profoundly frustrating true things to say. I may not agree with everything all the time, but I feel like I get a lot about living life from his Tested mailbag discussions.

I simply don't believe you. anyone who wants to talk to me is mad at me - that's just science.

This Little Caesar's package looks unusual 👁️👁️ A good friend of mine told me about this Little Caesar's lady thing from the other place so I wanted to give it a try 😅

this is like, literally the exact kind of thing that kicked off the revolutionary war. i'm trying to find a way to be goofy and say i'm exaggerating but taxing shipments in order to pay for expensive foreign wars was literally the flashpoint lol

Re-reposting to add that I have a simmering, inchoate sense that somehow stricter and stricter infosec is curdling into the war on general-purpose computing, which I occasionally think I should write up. bsky.app/profile/mich...

“what if your computer could write essays and think for you” is the kind of fantasy that could only come from a joyless class of ultrarich losers who have never had to do anything themselves in their entire life

going on tv and making collegial noises about how we can work with Rs really...like, you're giving them cover, and legitimizing them so they aren't stained with this horrific nightmare. why? why do that?

I've been working on this piece for a few months, and I won't lie it's hurt to go from hearing the suffering inflicted by this transphobic theocracy to seeing progressives sing its praises. The bishops' ban is the most extensive trans healthcare ban in the country. It deserves way more attention.

"nooo you cant headcanon uma musume as transfem, theyre all afab" coward. lacking in imagination. you fail to imagine a world with Horsetrogen, the hormone that makes you grow a tail and horse ears

I will say it again: every agency that was created as a response to 9/11 should be dismantled. Every agency that was expanded because of 9/11 should either be reduced or dismantled. I am sick to fucking death of "two steps evil, one step back." This is how the shit fascists want got normalized.

Shocker of shocks; Gavin Newsom is a coward and continues to suck.

it should be FEDERALLY ILLEGAL, punishable by jail, for senators etc. to receive any kind of perk like this

FWIW absolutely no one I know who has expertise in spaceflight or planetary exploration thinks this is either remotely plausible or a good idea to attempt on such a timeline. The dominant reaction is somewhere on the spectrum between mockery and dismay. Real, important science was cancelled for this

great news!! the year of the horse has been extended indefinitely.

all hail the caramel corn orb what keeps us alive

Too many people simply don't understand that you actually want some slack in your organization. You want people to not be grinding 24/7, because sometimes, you will have a crisis that requires all hands on deck, and if all hands are *always* on deck, things fall apart.

Well, that's a fun first! :D Scrolling on Bluesky and a partial WIP for a skeb commission of mine pops up, not tagged or anything, the artist is just talking about their work and a cool detail they just added.

It's probably a good idea to listen to the people who were saying "abolish ICE" ten years ago and pay attention to what dangers they're pointing out now and maybe get on board with that stuff too
