He's credited by Japan's cultural historians as having personally saved enormous amounts of folklore from being completely lost, too. Hundreds of yokai legends are only known now because he collected them from remote communities that are themseles often gone.

I am loving plum tomatoes! Speed of cherries but more sizable. Tomato Size Scale Currant Cherry, Pear (same size) Plum Slicer Beefsteak

The anti trans crowd was outraged by this study because it included clinicians who actually practice gender affirming care. Yet another systematic review that follows Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Utah, and Louisiana that finds this care is safe and effective with rare regret.

while we talk about the RFK's Diarrhea 2026 stuff, don't overlook the fact that there's a dog food recall going on too. unfortunately we don't have a good spokesvehicle for the FDA anymore, so Good Housekeeping will have to do.

tbh this leaves a bad taste in my mouth haha. partly because it's kind of prompting people to make fun of psychotic people, but also because psychosis is stigmatized regardless of the cause, and shouldn't be! let's stigmatize ai, yes, but not the life-destroying symptoms it induces in some people

Good morning

I know opps are going to rush forward with, "Well, Ossoff is running in a state that is one-third black so he can't afford to punch left at black people." I'm going to hold your hand while I say this, white people in the whitest areas of America you've ever seen are tired of this ****.

This has been the “ignore the groups” message the entire time and they’re only growing more explicit the closer we get to midterms.

When I say a politics of white reconciliation based on a premise of anti-Blackness people act as if I’m spinning shit out of thin air but…

Deloitte has HUGE contracts for administering Medicaid application systems across multiple states and 'errors' like this can be life-threatening.

attorney general keith ellison on why he’s voting for peggy flanagan for US senate over angie craig: “i want someone who will never quit on you, and that is peggy flanagan…. stands up for people of minnesota, stands against corporate concentration, is not afraid to REALLY take on donald trump.”

Move over, police horses. Every big crime from now on is an opportunity for the mayor to complain about a lack of 911 drones.

If your leaders promise good things are just around the corner, so long as you pay your way in advance, you're in a cult

What would you do with 3 grand in a year?

“very tired of pretending that dismissing modern economics is somehow more reasonable than dismissing vaccines” Modern capitalist economics is in fact nothing like vaccines repeatedly shown to be effective through repeated peer reviewed practice. To equate the two is disgusting.

I’ve gotten “you can’t cite indie trans journalists as evidence of a trans genocide because they’re biased” from liberals who don’t understand how the entire mainstream media is compromised by a massive well funded network of transphobes. if I try to explain that I sound like an conspiracy theorist

The Fuck You, Make Me Doctrine remains undefeated

it was for @us.theguardian.com … for a civil liberties reporter job! does this comport with new york state human rights law?

scooping this bizarre attack on civil liberties ought to at LEAST get me an interview for the civi liberties reporting job, no @us.theguardian.com ? fa-euxy-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid... Especially since you want someone w higher ed?

hey @us.theguardian.com can i write a freelance piece as my work sampe to show this is illegal bsky.app/profile/mpeg...

Even if Amy Acton wins, she'll be dealing with a Supermajority R legislature. Republicans will still do what they want. The upside for trans people across the US is low with an Amy Acton victory. The downside, allowing this cancer of using transphobia to win, is WAY worse IMO.

We know what happens when the left of center party embraces transphobia. Look at Labour UK. Trans rights are lost there for a generation. They've got nobody left to fight for them. We cannot let that same cancer spread in the US in the Democratic Party.

Whats worse... A single Democratic loss in a statewide race to a right-wing governor? Or a Democratic Party win in Ohio that uses transphobia to get there, teaching dems across the country that this is a new acceptable tactic? The latter results in no party left to fight for us.

I was wondering what the hell was going on in the new Avengers trailer but then I figured it out: by showing a rapid series of still images they’ve created the illusion that the images are moving. Very clever!

Love to second-guess everything I put in my mouth while the maga grifters talk about how food-borne illness is made up or will only make you stronger.

Darin Diab is dying of cancer in Gaza. Israel will not allow her to go to the West Bank where she can get medical treatment. The Israeli supreme court declined to intervene so far. There are dozens like her. The cruelty seems to be the point.

how is this the same creature

Environmental storytelling ass article

when I cite lists like this at liberals they either A. demand a source for each point that explicitly says exactly these things because they refuse to try to read between the lines, then nitpick every source they are provided or B. block me instantly so many people just refuse to believe us.

Hell yeah refusing to engage with these fuckos is the way. Things to do, places to go, and abortion clinic escorts to thank.

Got sent to do a graveyard clearance. We were told we had 3 days because there were only 8 headstones in the area to clear, and we could do two burials a day each because the headstones were all 20th Century. However, the graveyard was 1,100 years old...

Fuck yeah

A new example of Meta shithousery. This is a post of mine on Instagram (left). Click the dots top right and this advisory note appears (right). I never use ai, never will. Why would they do this? Who benefits? Are they just trying to make viewers think everything is genAI so they just accept it?

Beshear needs to do what Mitch would do in his shoes. The law they made to stop Beshear from appointing a replacement violates the state constitution. Make the friggin' appointment!!! Make them prove he's alive or take you to court (which will prove he's not alive).

This is proof that the media wants to rip us apart even though we are all dangling the same hog.

Our whole society is geared against reading, so it's just a weird flex to be like "Yeah and so I don't! And that's all because reading assignments weren't specifically catered to me, a ten year old who didn't want to read anything and who has resented having to now for decades." What

I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.

bluesky why did you do this. it is very annoying

Oh Taylor Farms products have codes starting with TF? Like this Wegmans lettuce mix we have been holding off from eating?

you know its the atlantic when questions are (1) framed as entirely innocent philosophical hypotheticals but (2) also bravely iconoclastic truth-telling yet stand (3) entirely divorced from reality and (4) affirm the worst impulses while (5) coinciding with programs of true political evil

would hogwarts hire a velociraptor? do you have to let a vampire inside your home - if he's your landlord? is a cop who fights crime as a werewolf by night technically a K9 unit who - deserves overtime? if they become partners, can they literally go anywhere and pull over whomever they want?

Hey y'all, I know there's a ton of asks out there and this one may seem less like a "need," but this kiddo could use a win for Disability Pride Month. I know the family, and she's an awesome kid who has had a really rough year and deserves some joy. Anything you can spare would be very appreciated.

Do it for them.

a reliable and consistent bus service is one of the most humble public transit options. strangers of all types mingling, circulating in and out, and uniting over their shared gratitude towards the driver. subways and trains are flashy, but there's something about busses that just feels right.
