the audio is what makes this a perfect 10

I realize I am. EXTREMELY late to this game. But I have finally picked up critical role (show for VM, little over 1/3 through the actual campaign for M9) and I regret to say that I get it now

Fellow Seattlites, today is the last day to complete a survey about keeping Pike Place Market car-free! Please take a couple minutes and fill it out.

Lest anyone think this is a stretch, my middle school softball coach was absolutely and vocally positive an opposing team’s pitcher was secretly a boy because she had short hair and a strong arm

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Odd question for my art folks: I have a bit of time on my hands, and would like to experiment with art style. Any exercises, studies, or techniques you've enjoyed and/or found worthwhile?

I have a lot of thoughts about the post-primary nonsense, but I think the most concise one is this: AFAIK my congresswoman (Rep. Jayapal) has never run as anything but a Democrat, and never had a serious challenger from the left, because she votes like she represents her constituents.

Raw tomatoes. Something about the sweetness trips some brain circuit that goes "oh this is rotten" and hits emergency eject.

turn the White House into a community mural. everyone gets paint, brushes, etc. that house has been white too long

Classical Chinese for the Ten Thousand-Year Reign of Zohran Mamdani: 凡帝王之將興也,天必先見祥乎下民 “Whenever an emperor or a king is about to rise, Heaven will first send down signs to the people below."

All the Europeans in NYC for the World Cup are about to have a super normal one

what in the fire emblem

Maybe it's Friday PST?

There’s a rainbow outside the Kennedy Center right now as a crowd awaits Trump’s name to be pulled off the arts venue

In my pursuit of soaking my balcony garden ahead of the baby heat wave this weekend, I… may have gone too far

Y’all are aware you can say you think Pl*tner is a better option than Collins without minimizing his allegations to “being a bad boyfriend” right? No one is making you do that.

Truly devastated to learn of Jane Yolen's passing. Her work with folk & fairy tales was so formative to me as a kid & so important to me as an adult. She was so vividly generous & extraordinarily kind.

From context clues (yelling) I have gathered my neighbors are knicks fans

Please help out victims of the racist attacks in Belfast, thank you.

somewhere haley joel osment is looking up prices for a nice boat

They heard someone who has committed especially heinous crimes is in the building

Good morning Bluesky, from my local subreddit I bring you an image with meme potential:

Anthony Head, best known for his roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ted Lasso,” has died at 72

Voting for me is easy. You can write my name in the write-in box and then fill in the bubbles accordingly. If you need to pull out your phone to look up how to spell my name, that’s completely fine. I hope I can earn a first place ranking on your ballot. Andreaformaine.com

Post about Platner has officially broken containment so you can imagine how normal my notifications are

the "nazi tattoo, rape apologia, and racism" bus is not headed anywhere near my doorstep, jeff

What's happening with Platner is why you hop off the bus at "he has a nazi tattoo"

HUH?!??!

Soooo apparently the plates are from Utah..... I can't be mean about this, Seattle streets are engineered like it's the hunger games

and/or preorder the other one! it’s just as queer

WHAT DAY IS IT

The wonderful actor Keith David is set to be honored June 4 with the 2,847th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the Motion Pictures category. Guest speakers: L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, Lynn Whitfield, John Carpenter, and John C. McGinley.

This could have been low-income housing built, this could have been school lunches paid for, this could have been cancer research grants, but that would mean these 'move fast and break things' assholes only get to light ninety-nine piles of money on fire instead of a solid hundo

Reminder to folks who have online stores to not use Uline for shipping supplies! Their money goes straight to bullshit campaigns like this one:

The paper in question: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

the bubble discourse is never funnier than when it occurs within 48 hours of the latest iteration of "did this week's bsky queer main character(s) do nothing wrong, or do they deserve the guillotine"

I mean look at Bezos. Yes ordering books online was an innovative idea. God bless. And how did Jeff get those books to people to make his billions? The post office that taxpayers built and subsidized for over 250 years.

One of the unique joys of being online enough to see a lot of commentary in your feed, but also detached because you are an adult with a job, is the moment you stumble across the nexus discourse and connect at least ten seemingly unrelated reposts simultaneously

Okay bsky, enough of “show me your precious furbabies,” it’s time to put the little jerks on blast. Tell me how your cats bully you in your own home. I’ll start: This stinky menace hides in the shower curtains and tries to swipe at me whenever I get in.

Painted Devils by @what-eats-owls.bsky.social is the rare book that works perfectly in the middle of a trilogy while also functioning as an independent story in its own right. Highly recommended. #booksky #readersky #librarysky

ma'am that's my emotional support new season of game changer

This happened in my part of Seattle, and every sentence is more gutting than the last. Juniper should still be here.

Oh man, I got unexpectedly emotional watching this and recognizing pieces of the Portland I grew up in. I can't wait to see this when it comes out.

And to be absolutely clear about what kind of wealthy we’re talking about here: these are the area houses listed on Zillow

evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”

This is the only Odyssey adaptation that understands that the hero is an impulsive himbo who deserves his many ass whoopings. It is entirely believable that this Odysseus would get a bunch of his guys turned into pigs by a sexy witch.

People who are NOT WorldCon members: you can get a virtual membership for $85, which lets you vote. *And* gives you access to the voters' packet. This has excerpts from many of the nominees, and full copies of a few. In particular: all of the October Daye books are in the packet.
