Dr. Howard has more receipts than an accountant.

Ooof, that’s a mood. 😭

Deep down, aren't we all the same? A shuffling collection of weary bones wandering the earth searching for fried potatoes?

Welp, new snail has moved in and is working around the tank like a slow roomba with adhd. It’s kind of entertaining. 😹🐌

Wow rude. 🪶 🐣

Jfc, I’d ask them to read the room, but even when I worked there, I suspected none of them actually read anything.

I don't believe this as much as I believe media companies are simply owned by greedy rich people who use their investments to benefit themselves and thats all of it, they love the corruption and want to foster it because they can afford the bribes and they love what comes after the payout

Nothing is more depressing than watching young artists give other young artists advice like “only use one colour palette in everything you do to have a more recognizable brand” and “draw everything with a target audience in mind”

Happy book release day to @redgoldsparks.bsky.social for GENDER QUEER: THE ANNOTATED EDITION! This is a wonderful expansion of the original memoir, with notes from Maia and other queer luminaries (including me!)

Sarah Gailey: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the river of teeth Gailey: it's about the most dangerous game of all Stephen King: is it man? Clive Barker: what kind of question is that, steve? of course it's man Barker: it's always man Mary Shelley: phht

Welp. We’ll see what happens next. People like Jay Bhattacharya who spent the last 6 years belittling public health are now forced to adhere to its principles. It’s not surprising that after years of “medical freedom” agitprop one of the quarantined ship passengers wants to just walk out of there.

There are many reasons that scientific misinformation is incredibly dangerous, some of which are exemplified by the woman who was on the cruise ship and exposed to hantavirus who wants to leave quarantine. One is that misinformation undermines trust in medicine and public health.

110 million years ago, heavy floods washed an armored plant-eating dinosaur out to sea, burying it rapidly in sediments. It was 5.5 m (18 ft) long, weighed 1.3 tons. The tail was spiked & armored plates called osteoderms covered the back. Let's learn about the dino mummy, Borealopelta.

Welp, the tank grew by one! I’ve added a mystery snail. (That is literally what they’re called.) It’s got a dark brown shell with gold/iridescent highlights. Kinda like a tiger’s eye rock. Imma name it Tiger. :3

So, tank update! In the process of cleaning the tank, I found one of the female blue shrimp that had eggs no longer had them. Which means she either dropped them, or they hatched! If they hatched, the shrimplets going to be too small (and colorless!) to find for at least a week. 🤞

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

No stream today. Gotta do some adulting, like cleaning the tank filter and laundry. See y’all next week! 🐠

My daughter's pithy summation: "Covid reminded people they lived in a society; and they hated it."

Just restocked my track pendants! (Including sold out bear and otter 🐾)

Ugggghhhh so tired. The plant bed we thought was dirt was really just a thin layer of topsoil over rocks. Like, 500 pounds of rocks. A bajillion rocks. While my little kobold heart sings at the thought of digging and rocks, it’s *exhausting* and we only dug out two of the five bushes. 😭

Finances are so shit. Working to get $2135 by the end of the month for rent. My shop is open and so are my commissions. Donate to my GFM below or go to lnk.bio/verdantsculpts for all my other links. Shares are greatly appreciated 💜

*foaming at the mouth* yes yes YES

Today is the anniversary of the 1992 World Health Organization decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental illness NINETEEN NINETY-TWO As conservatives try to claw us back to a brutal age of targeted marginalization, even as our rights & recognition backslide, we have still come so far 🏳️‍🌈⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

So spouse and I have slowly watching the series For All Mankind. The plot is actually making me irl anxious. I can’t binge-watch it. Wtf It’s a fantastic alternate history take, but gahhhhhhh. It feels ridiculous, but my stress baseline is already sky high. I shouldn’t be that surprised. 😩

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

there is a limit at which we are so clearly not in a democracy that you can't actually shame me into thinking I should be better than them, especially when being better than them is destroying civil rights. idk when that limit was but it is in the rearview mirror now. "fuck you, make me" is here.

Rewatching She-Ra because I need the glittery resistance feels. 😩

The declyne of readinge ys caused by manye thinges. One major cause ys a systematic & decades-long devaluinge of literature at all levels of educacioun. We kan not put instrumentalitye above meaninge and still thrive. Fundinge the humanityes ys key to a just societye of well-informed citizens.

Well that is that and this is this, Will you tell me what you saw and I’ll tell you what you missed, When the ocean met the sky, You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye. ~”Ocean Breathes Salty” by Modest Mouse.

It still doth myne hearte great goode to thynke upon the Artemis missioun. For a while ther was a reason to looke up wyth pride to the stars and thynke on science and wondir.

If you guys remember my friend Kyra - she has her kids back!!! She's also #1 on the housing list on her rez but is facing eviction from her current place if she can't make rent by Monday. This is not the first time that housing has threatened to keep her from her kids. $layannajean paypal kkeezer21

Banning a booke ys extinguishing a beacon. Banning a booke ys silencinge a thousand voyces speakinge yn the heart. Banning a booke ys refusinge to looke at the stars. Banning a booke ys damming a streame of feelinge and invitinge flood. Banning a booke ys making a violent litel shryne to ignorance.

A round ball of a Least Sandpiper with a threatening aura.

There's a screenshot going around of authors admitting to AI use and one of them appears to write hardcore monsterfucking fics and this makes me sad. If you're not writing monsterfucking fics for the sheer, genuine love of the game then what the hell are we even doing here?

Well. This is. Horrifying.

I read it like four times. You should read it once if you like: -animals with distinct personalities who are still animal-like -thinking to yourself "hm i could go for a bit of cheese..." -Goblins of any non-racist variety -bangin -trippy fey shit.

Tank update! I’m now consistently seeing one or two shrimp wandering around. They’re still skittish and easily spooked by tendrils of algae, but they’re getting braver!

This is a PSA to download the Merlin app and GET OUTSIDE and log birds like you're catching pokemon!!

HERE WE GO! BABY COOT FEET! 🪶 🐣

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed an HIV vaccine candidate that achieves something never before observed in the field: inducing detectable neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against HIV within just THREE weeks after a SINGLE immunization which was further INCREASED after an additional booster.

Why does disability policy matter? Medicaid is the program that pays for the home care services that allow disabled people — kids, adults, seniors — to live in their own homes, with their families, instead of being locked up in institutions. RFK Jr's attacks on home care are incredibly unpopular

The argument that AI gets to steal everything you’ve written, strip it for writing techniques, and now AI is the only one who gets to use that technique is not as anti-AI as you think.
