Millions of people do good in their communities every single hour and if we uplifted each example, we would drown out those who spend their time doing evil. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/n... - RIP to both of these men.

This is a really useful post about what you need to know about Cyclospora. I learned things. You will too

I am resilient.

Posted this as a reply a few hours ago but honestly it's my thesis, it's my battle call.

Why has Bluesky made it virtually impossible to save an image from a post?

😞 I did tomorrow's Clues by Sam instead of today's.

I read a good poem today and if you want to read it too just click the link. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/57673/...

My oatmeal needs cream but that would make it runny.

"verify your age" Old enough to remember Watergate on the news. Young enough that for kicks they asked kids my age what Watergate was and one answered "that's where the frogs live." Which sounded as plausible as anything.

8pm East Bay Edward Hopper light hour, reflecting sunlight

Zingerman’s bread reheating instruction line breaks are like the goddamn Iliad and justifiably so.

I'm so tired of everything

I dreamed that Axl Rose went to prison for some suspicious reason and also it was my last year of high school.

EVERYWHERE needs to build food sovereignty. Our ability to grow food should not be controlled by agribusinesses and terminator genes. Shareholders and equity should have no say on agricultural production.

Serenity now, fuckas. 🪷

Back on the old site I followed people I thought were cool and routinely discovered three years later that they made something I would like and in one notable example I already owned all their albums but didn't know it was them. People are getting way better at letting us know which is great, tbh.

I love going on Instagram to be told everything I'm doing wrong.

I know the union won the war thanks to advanced industrialization but I wish the end result of that wasn’t a worse version of jack in the box

i don't understand how any of my fellow americans who eat this kind of thing with any regularity are living past 35. it's a testament to the resilience of the human body really because this tastes in every way like poison

My coauthor Jay Falk's postdoctoral fellowship was terminated by the Trump administration for documenting the hummingbird example in this paper.

a new mavis beacon teaches typing would fix me

Hollywood, Ending is my first novel for adults (and my first novel of any kind in nine years). I am so excited for you to read it. Writing it reminded me that writing can be joyful and help me to visit rooms in my mind I just can't get to any other way. apnews.com/article/john...

My name's been on some bathroom walls before, but never quite like this, THE MOST GLORIOUS BATHROOM BEOWULF WALL, at Oldspeak Bar in Garden City, Idaho, which is also the coolest place ever. Bookstore + brewery, and full of glory!

Might start a diary of the weirdest things I say to my 6yo each day. Today it was “spiders don’t have a conception of nakedness”

I look middle aged. Which is pretty good I suppose, considering that I don't expect to live to 120 so I am in fact past middle aged. Humbling nevertheless.

my mom once got so insanely sick from eating dirty grapes, she was sick for like two months and on the verge of being hospitalized the whole time, it was terrible. she recovered but wash your grapes

something that might be relevant to you as you attempt to prevent getting the famous diarrhea. when there's germs on the skin of a melon, and you're thinking "that's fine, i don't eat the rind" girl when you cut through the skin with the knife you move the germs inside too

Six year old was intently talking to the lifeguard at the public pool and when he came back I said what did you ask him and he just said “oh nothing I just never talked to a lifeguard before” then I asked the lifeguard, who said “I don’t know what he was saying I just kept saying yeah dude”

This getting re-posted here relatively few times makes it even scarier, imo.

If you’re a Democrat and plan to vote this fall, please acquaint yourself now with what looks to me to be a highly skilled extrapolation of where that’s headed. Which is by definition not merely a best guess.

In 2020, I’d sometimes check my phone during a 12+ hour virus testing shift - exhausted but grateful I could do something to help my community in overwhelming Bad Times - and see a new admin PSA like “drink bleach!” or “try horse dewormer!” and think, God, am I just shoveling sand into the ocean?

This is a really good thread.

Just like how my current response to the Cyclospora outbreak is "damn, guess I'm just not eating any raw produce for a while."

Regular degular Black folk are not the enemies of US progressive politics. Please, I implore you, take a page from Zohran Mamdani's book and TALK TO BLACK PEOPLE. Treat us like we're human! It's how a progressive like Rashida Tlaib won easily in Detroit. It's how Abdul El-Sayed is moving as well...

I try to remember what my Aunt Ursula used to say:

Thanks to @mekka.mekka-tech.com for actually listening to the podcast and telling us the real deal. HuffPo needs to issue a retraction if they truly put words into Lawrence's mouth. bsky.app/profile/mekk...

What are those flowering plants that have bright pink or red flowers and people often like the smell of them? They used to be really common, I still see them in pots pretty frequently.

This meal swapping has been working very well for us for five years now, and I don’t see us stopping any time soon. Liz is now our family. She joins us for Christmas morning and holiday meals and birthday celebrations.

This is what the world needs now.

Just because people say things over and over and over doesn't mean its TRUE.

i'm old enough to remember when planes first started having seat back screens with the map and i was like THANK GOD. it was what i'd been waiting for and didn't know. i don't want to watch a movie i want to know where i am and how much longer i have to sit still

Note: This is not a purity test, and I’m not only looking for people who have never used AI. I’m interested in how people are drawing lines, refusing forms of replacement, and helping one another preserve capacities.

If you are part of something like this, or know of an effort I should learn about, please reach out through my website: kellyhayes.org.

I am interested in stories about personal refusals, collective agreements, campaigns, classroom practices, labor organizing, creative communities, and other efforts to protect and strengthen human capacities.

I’m especially interested in students who are choosing to write their own papers and artists who are supporting one another and organizing against AI-generated art.

I’m looking to speak with people who are resisting the erosion of human thought, creativity, skill, and relationship through AI. 🧵
