sorry to add to the discourse but I think the "everyone should have stayed on twitter" mindset is at least partially based on the misapprehension that 1) arguing on the internet is praxis and 2) leftists are obligated to spend their time doing this

If I could give one piece of advice right now, take your sensitive conversations to Signal or in-person. Do not trust virtual meeting providers with your privacy. I know it's hard to avoid because they're used for business, school, community. You can turn on encryption with Zoom at least. 🙃

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

It hurts my heart to say all this but my mom passed away on Sunday morning after a 7-year battle with lung cancer. We’re trying to raise $8,536 for funeral expenses since we don’t have insurance. Any support or even sharing this would mean the world to us right now. ko-fi.com/ellienoctis/...

would anyone be interested in either something written or podcast about the great transgender migration that's going on right now that no one is really talking about. i feel like no one outside of the trans community knows about this at all

Fascists hate to be called out as fascists. Too bad. Coming soon: The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War On Democracy. Yes, they are fascists. Yes, they must be crushed. Please pre-order here: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Sometimes I think about the fact that my brother was chasing me for months about a $200 device I had already returned after our mother's death, when he stole thousands in the last 4-5 years of her life, and more on the very day of her passing. You'd think he'd be smart enough not to be that petty.

Concordia U is hosting this event — we’re going to make it into an episode of The Data Fix. I think that anyone can register and attend online or in person:

Labour MPs calling for an orderly transition but unfortunately their government needs to be at least 18 years old with four doctors to sign off first

Holy shit, I didn't want to yell at a single one of these clinical recommendations

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

There doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall this sales channel or to opt out of it at the product level. BUT you can see it on the list of sales channels in the left hand menu, then turn off "Allow Shopify to Manage for Me" and then turn off the options it turned on.

if you're a diabetic on something like jardiance and also virtually any anti-depressant please pound that water back

i think the hot new art trend should be posing your cast of characters like a promotional shoot for a tv show. yknow like everyone in sort of matched outfits, posing around the set dramatically yet in an oddly stilted way?

Thank you so so much to Viktor ( @nooskadraws.bsky.social ) for this beautiful Destiny 2 inspired illustration, with one of my favourite quotes from my favourote bird husbands 💜🍵💛 I'm so so grateful and so happy with how this turned out!! x

Interesting piece, but I resent how Peter Thiel is represented in the Gawker saga. Thiel didn't "emerge from the shadows" to magnanimously tell the NYT he funded Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker. He did it because my colleague and I exposed his involvement. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

asked my mom to see an old outtake from her seventeen magazine shoot she likes today and in the process saw maybe for the first time since i was old enough to internalize it what she looked like as a 20-something ballet dancer in stage makeup and man,

"But AI can transcribe quickly for me!" The lack of time for transcription in the archives is not natural, it is created. The time to transcribe, which is also time to read and think about material, has been taken from us by those with the power to fund our work. Now they want it without funding it.

A+ for effort and gumption, but let's talk about the body mechanics of punching a nazi. For a running overhand right, your hip and fist should arrive at the same time, driving through the target with the force of your legs. This is a flail or a slap, his arm is dragging behind. He outran his punch.

ICYMI, I wrote a little thing about how the crafting of sex scenes in genre romance has taken a major hit in recent years. #romancelandia romancing-the-stoned.beehiiv.com/p/no-f-ck-is...

A beautifully preserved bronze mirror, found in Nijmegen (The Netherlands), dating to 50 BC–50 AD. Its reverse features engraved La Tène-style decoration, and the handle is inlaid with enamel. Parallels are known from Britain. 🧵 1/2 📷 taken by me in 2022 in Museum Het Valkhof

Happy 100th birthday Sir David. You have fundamentally changed how we all see and think about the natural world. A remarkable legacy. Thank you.

This is probably gonna gain traction soon, so I want to ground everyone before the fear that may come. The purpose of memos like this is probably best understood as to create fear. If they had the resources and ability to conduct mass crackdowns on trans groups, they would just do it.

Ozymandias is a perfect poem bc it proves that no matter how powerful and historically significant you are a shitposter can show up and dunk on you so hard that people only remember you as the guy who got dunked on.

Lately.

Two things I learned by this action: 1) The head of Trust and Safety of Bluesky was caught liking porn on his official account. Which wouldn't matter, except: 2) He's apparently a single-ply guy: too thin to withstand any use.

Why do I keep harping on this? It's my belief that when you're clear on their strategy, you can be clear on our strategy. Understanding their goals and priorities helps to crystallize your tactics and it focuses your attention. Whatever they want to do to women, they'll try with Black women first.

I told my psychiatrist that I’d been hearing voices. He told me that I don’t have a psychiatrist. Then he laughed at me, knowing I couldn't get to him in that mirror

My boss says I’m preoccupied with vengeance. We’ll see about that.

While I'm nerding about birds, everyone should get to know the Black-and-Chestnut Eagle, an endangered raptor from South American mountain forests. One of the Most Birds Ever.

Therapist: So have you ever had a secure attachment to anyone but a friend in your entire life? me: Um. Therapist: And have you processed any of your recent grief. Ever. Even one time. me: I had to go back to work immediately and start a career? Does that count? Therapist: No.

I find that the difference between: "They want me dead... perhaps I'll oblige them" and "They want *me* dead...? Perhaps I'll oblige them." depends entirely on what time of the month it is, and my uterus's tone of voice
