I think it is snowing, but the light is bright out there. Went out to feed the birds earlier; it's _very_ fluffy, just below my knees.

attn. Torontonians?

The image is a 3-second gif of Godzilla, against a dark, broken background of crags and ruins, jumping quite definitely for joy. We should all strive to channel Godzilla, as best we can.

Fancy a Jelly Baby?

A business leader who I’ve messaged with privately over the years & know is socially liberal and financially conservative, but virtually never posts anything remotely political, posted about Pretti murder saying it was wrong and it’s not political, he was shot in back and had done nothing wrong. 2/

gibbering, me.

I am listening to a TV podcast and a) these people are young, which is not their fault, but also some parts of them are deeply, deeply not thinking very hard. JESUS CHRIST YES WE HAD BISEXUALS IN THE '00s

What to swap them for?? How about swapping them for a FUCK OFF

A milestone game for Penguins stars Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, and Kris Letang, hat-trick performances by the Ducks’ Beckett Sennecke and the Avalanche’s Brock Nelson, and more in today’s #NHL Morning Coffee Headlines. www.spectorshockey.net/2026/01/nhl-...

Ah, so they're destroying evidence

So I was doubting the tastefulness of this? but not for long at all www.youtube.com/shorts/zceh1...

@stevedangle20.bsky.social Steve, it says on my calendar to remind you to think of clever Valentine's gifts for your team, and also Adam's birthday

Has anyone taken the trouble or the screenshots to do 'Skeeted Rivalry'? (I can't because everyone I follow is thoughtful and loving)

Is it M/F? Because APPARENTLY the natural order of the universe is grumpy M/sunshine F.

(for the first time in my life i will be rooting for the pats solely on the grounds that, as a new england fan recently convinced me, it may normalize the timeline if the fucking patriots start winning everything again)

In anniversary news which I can’t quite verify, it may be 39 years (possibly more) since the Indian Air Force dressed their helicopters up as elephants for Republic Day

My friend @kythera.bsky.social has been applying for jobs as a technical writer for over a year. She's queer, disabled, and neurodivergent - all of which, in America, may be working against her. Please help keep her afloat so she doesn't lose her home or her cats: shorturl.at/OpOL6

If you're a creator looking for something to do that can help get funds to organisations making real change, consider offering something for FTH this year. I'll be offering several pieces - spread the word far and wide! fandomtrumpshate.tumblr.com

Goodnight from Matt Adams, getting stony silence when asking regulars about Spade Brides folklore in The Merry Doe pub. Goodnight from Louise Layfield, stitching silvered-magic into her shawl in case she meets any Half-there Folk while out and about. Goodnight from Hookland.

Bleated rivalry

Reminded of the time during a big church dinner I grabbed two church bros (really great guys usually, I swear) who were arguing some teeny tiny point of doctrine and I said "Enough orthodoxy, time for orthopraxis" and sent them off to bus tables.

Is Pepperidge Farm remembering Wheated Rivalry?

Okay, so: Someone I trusted at the time said Lunazul Tequila was half-decent (because we cannot always be tippling Don Julio); then I tasted it next to El Mayor and El Mayor was more complex, tastier, and altogether less like paint remover. Now I have a nip bottle of Don Julio and they actually

ok last one. hudcon had no idea the hit they were starring in 😭

The decision to move the show up from February 2026 to November 2025.

And yet, when women who have been running pro-grade logistics for a decade for 4 kids, 3 instruments, one tumbling, 2.5 sports and 3 scouting packs try to return to the workforce and get paid for this experience, they’re told both that they’re over-qualified & would have to start at entry level.

TikTok is under right wing billionaire control now. Plan your exit strategy.

I have just found out that one of my favorite fic writers is also the author of a silly romcom I read last year and actually, literally, for reals, _laughed out out loud_ reading, and I am so happy for him. #DylanMorrison

Me: Pats won. I think they're going to the Superbowl. Them: Oh thank god. Finally! Some news I don't have to care about.

I have this sticker savywritesbooks.myshopify.com/products/fun...

Every time I make it out to a community event, our mayor is there, too, volunteering & talking to people. I am more excited than I can say about the Picture Main Street project. I have nothing good to say about Rothenberg & Stein, who have driven a lot of good people out of the public sphere.

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

lord, I see what you have done for other people

This is several layers of good thinking. It means the Guard has been (to co-opt a term from source operations) "sensitised" to seeing people opposing ICE/CBP as "us", and not as an adversary. So if the Feds try to make them suppress protest they are much less likely to be harsh.

(I know everything is awful but also) I am thinking about getting a vacuum sealer and wondering if anyone's got some road tested recommendations.

When ICE is killing Minnesotans left and right, everyone's voice matters. This is no time to sit on the fence.

So even if you're only going out there, zoom, to feed the birds...3ºF is really cold, and the birds are appreciating the food.

as always there may be arguments about Best Chris but Worst Chris is a settled argument

My Catholicism is so lapsed that the Vatican has a photo of me behind the counter saying “Do not accept prayers from this woman.” Nevertheless, a lot of churches of many different denominations are doing a lot of genuinely good things! apnews.com/article/minn...
