I can't even describe how much I love this.

#store Have you seen my BRAND NEW coelacanths skirt?? These living fossils have swum all the way from the Cretaceous period to live in modern oceans, and now they can even swim around the hem of your skirt alongside other deep-sea critters against an enchanting starry background!

flu shot for me, flu and covid combo for my neighbor. there's a cute baby playing with keys.

So I was invited to accept an award for "imagination in service to society." This forced me to think a bit about what "imagination," "service" and "society" mean to me. Here's the speech I delivered last night: buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Yup, it's official. I'm one of the new judges for the Sidewise Awards for Alternate History.

Just watched an Instagram reel where a man was referred to as a "sandwich expert" and after a lifetime and career of making the best of few talents and inconsistent ambition I have FINALLY discovered the vocation that's right for me.

Why do I feel like many of the people claiming Jesus was pro sex worker are actually anti sex work? Feels like both Pharisees and sex workers are just props to them.

The gospels are frustrating enough on their own, but folks will go ahead and impute all sorts of extra weirdness, like they think the gospels give them licence to straight up write fiction about Jews. Separately, the insistence that people (probably just Jews) mourn quietly is really fucking weird.

genuine appeal to feminists who are haven't realised it yet: trans women are on your side. TERFS aren't

It would be much funnier if these guys weren’t so violent

I read the post and assumed that this "plan" involved a small island with a dozen or so residents. From the article: "Gonâve Island has a population of about 87,000."

"Forgive, don't demand accountability" is a perfect way to maintain the existing power structures and ensure that nothing changes.

wahahaha

rest in peace, Alice, & thank you

Please help me out if you can! I don't have another way of being able to get myself these things rn.

the universe may be dying. entropy will probably win. but I exist at the same point in space time as cool ranch doritos. I wonder what other snacks I’ll get to eat

finding out that sycophancy doesn't trigger everyone's fight or flight response might be among the worst discoveries of the 2020s for me, and trust me it has stiff competition.

we have PrEP because of these monkey studies. animal welfare in medical research is extremely strictly limited and regulated to ensure ethical use. there is no replacement for these animal models in biomedical research.

And that's why you don't fuck with the cryptids of Appalachia.

These things blow my mind in the most beautiful way

*Alexa tell me everything you know about Haiti “This won’t end well”

Every country that does this only bans it for trans people. It's still approved for cis children www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

Just when I think I know everything there is to know about Superman, I learn that Vladimir Nabokov wrote a poem about him in 1942 that got rejected by the New Yorker. www.theguardian.com/books/2021/m...

This is just extremely nice, and I am glad it exists.

I love reading stuff about how old the Appalachians are. Screenshot: a post from old Twitter. 1/2

You DONT MESS with whatever is up in (or buried deep within) the Appalachian mountains

they are older than bones, trees, and the Atlantic Ocean by orders of magnitude that don't actually make sense

This is why you should believe whatever they say lives in those mountains.

you CANNOT run a sustainable publishing venture if part of that sustainability is not paying the people who generate all of the content you are selling that is simply not a success you aren’t even running a real business at that point if you are not having to pay to acquire your product concepts

if not paying your writers is part of how you “set yourself up to publish for years to come” then you’re not set up correctly

Hello friends, still working on getting paid for my hours lost to injury

the Appalachian mountains are so ancient they predate the evolution of bones.

I didn't look far enough to see what Phoebe saw: A story supported by a study consisting of a mail-in survey in English and Spanish. That's not going to give you good data about the Orthodox church.

I'm quote tweeting not as a dunk, but there's an influencer who got offered a free IV drip and as a result has been dealing with the flesh eating bacteria for years now. A lot of these medi-spas are not well regulated and opening your arm to them has real infection risks.

BABE WAKE UP THEY'RE BAGGING THE FROGS

In other words, Judge Oldham has a sock puppet account on Bluesky, and Judge Oldham definitely searches for his name on Bluesky, which means that Judge Oldham will see your posts about him on Bluesky. So definitely don't call Judge Oldham a Trumpian hack judge on Bluesky.

A story from my dad. When his college girlfriend aced a class one time, she was very surprised to get a B. She confronted her professor, and he told her she had done A work, but he never gave women A's, as people would assume they slept together.

if youre trans and youre struggling to justify why you as a person should be allowed to take up space in the universe just consider that by your sheer existence you make a lot of the worst people on earth mad enough that they will die early deaths from stress. so thats a p good reason
