Clips from the Hermitcraft Season 10 World Tour (A Thread 🧵)

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

Hear me out -- CBC invites Kimmel to host a new show out of Dildo. They're obligated to have a rotating Canadian co-host each week to develop CanCon segments to meet broadcast requirements. Fielding requests from his "constituents." I would watch the hell out of that show. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One of the things they taught us in my "let's try not to move from prediabetes to actual diabetes" class was the best diet is one you can stick to because you enjoy it. So I've been having chia seed pudding for breakfast in an attempt to get my HDL up (tl:dr - omega 3 is hard when you detest fish).

Accurate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiiT...

I wish there was a way to hammer in this message that the vaccine is basically just an education module for your immune system. It’s a fkn training sim! VACCINE ➡️ TRAINING SIM When a vaccine does its job, what ultimately protects you? It’s STILL your fucking immune system doing the hard yards!

exhibit 183193 in "nobody running big corporations has a single fucking clue about selling things" betty crocker shrank their cake boxes instead of raising prices and now a huge % of recipes that use them no longer work. meaning there's no point in buying a mix at all.

Hard to find reasons to laugh in *gestures* all this. But when The Girl With The Dogs starts a video with "Today I am grooming Snuffleupagus. He is apparently a dog," in that PERFECT deadpan, I start laughing so hard I can't breathe. Thank you, Girl With the Dogs. I needed you today.

We found that the difference in critical care admission risk for Covid cases between early pandemic and later pandemic was easily explained by Covid vaccine uptake…and nothing else, including prevalence of exposure to infection bsky.app/profile/dfis...

My Tea Girl haul came with free samples!

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

I can

Okay, so I've seen this happen several times now. Person A says "hey, Covid is surging, maybe wear a mask again, okay?" They try to word it to cajole, not shame. People react poorly to being shamed.

Holiday turkey vs chicken nugget. (They’re both fully grown adults)

Grace just sent this me this tok of a woman accidentally recording her cat in slow motions, and I am SOBBING from laughing so hard

A teacher once told me there is a difference between saying “you’re doing good” and “you’re doing well, but a doctor told me if you’re taking precautions you can say either: by protecting yourself (hopefully) “you’re doing well,” and by protecting others “you’re doing good.”

you've been kidnapped--the characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you how dead are you? Well, she's not going to save me, but at least she'll make sure my killers are brought to justice.

I am sorry, my friend, I do not want to doubt your convictions, but, apologies, my friend, it is hard to believe you are ready and willing to fight for a better tomorrow, when in this moment you are not ready or willing to fight against the virus that is still ravaging us today.

Should you find yourself the only masked person at work or in a store, please, do not despair, instead just think back to kindergarten and your teacher asking “if everyone else jumped off a bridge would you do it too?” and know that at least you can honestly say: no.

If they ask you if you are planning on wearing your mask forever, tell them you know that you will not last forever, but you’re willing to do what you can to take care of others for as long as you are still here. * The 281st week of plague poems… librarianshipwreck.wordpress.com/2025/08/01/p...

So Dad’s condition had advanced to the point where he remembered to scoop Milo’s box, but would leave the open bag of waste in the closet and continue using it until the other residents complained about the smell. My aunt wanted to have Milo euthanized. So I have three cats now.

The venn diagram of people who think I'm insane for doing the slow introduction method with the new cat, people who just brought home new animals back in the day and threw them together, and people who are of the general opinion that most cats are assholes, tends to be a circle. I wonder why.

If you needed encouragement to keep masking and cleaning the air where you live/work, here you go. COVID acts as a “neuroinvasive virus that slowly degrades your brain and your ability to function” Every mild infection adds to the damage in your brain. It’s NOT just a cold, even if mild.

I feel this a lot these days when I see people angry that other folks are not focused on the same atrocity they are, with the same intensity they are. I regret to say there's more than one genuine atrocity in the world at the moment; it doesn't minimize the others if one chooses another to focus on.

The face (and unexpectedly blurry roses) of someone who's still in too much pain to bother with products or blow drying, but who is ambulatory and enjoying a new cute shirt.

Columbia canceled my class on Race and Media, but I'm teaching it anyway. All thanks to people power and community support-- especially from you all on Bluesky! Happy to announce I'll be teaching Race Media and International Affairs 101 online-- hosted by D.C.'s MLK Jr. Memorial Library!

If you haven't checked in on covid info in a while, this is a great piece.

Currently my favorite distraction on TikTok is this man who is CLEARLY in like, THE BEST shape, finding things that other athletes can do (and often the things they're doing are typically femme) and seeing if he also can do that With the "assistance" of the best dog named Dootie I love this

Would you buy ice cream from them?

I am someone who was pretty darned healthy before my second round of COVID, which left me disabled. My support groups were full of athletes and marathon runners. It can and does take out anyone, at any level of health, from any walk of life. All you need is one bad spin on its crappy roulette wheel.

My dad has been so much more active since moving into supportive care, and I'm so proud of him for walking in this fundraiser. It's done him a lot of good to have community again. hike-for-hospice2025.raiselysite.com/bill-elliott

I read the whole report on youth gender medicine out of Utah and found so much more there than the headline, which is that a report commissioned to look into the evidence on youth gender medicine found hormone therapy and puberty blockers are safe and effective.

He gonna sneeze

…I am intrigued.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

What's this? A cat actually USING a thing I bought for him? Miracles do happen.

So many amazing new ideas to take home from this @microsoftcertifiedcoach.com virtual cohort. Huge thanks to #i2eEdu for the opportunity. Disability can be so limiting for being able to participate in PD like this, and virtual programs like this one open worlds of accessibility. #MicrosoftEDU

What I like about role-playing games is that they allow you to act out power fantasies that you could never achieve in real life.

Pain is really bad today and Toby seems to know something is off because he’s being uncharacteristically companionable. Also he has no bones.

This tree I pass on my walks makes me happy

Unskilled labor is a myth. Taco Bell was the hardest job I’ve ever had to this day and I met the hardest working dedicated folks there. This is why everyone should work a service or retail job.

Was part of a reddit conversation today that reminded me of an article I saw in which therapists were expressing their utter shock and surprise that some of their patients who had lost pets were experiencing grief in the SAME WAY as their patients who lost children. This astonished some of them.

Having a great time learning new skills and expanding my toolkit in the @microsoftcertifiedcoach.com training! I have so many cool ideas I want to try out with my team now. Can't wait for next week. #i2eEDU #MicrosoftEDU

Went to vote at the elections office (it was simple and took 10 minutes in and out), and the office was right next to the little fruit and flower stand, so of course I ended up bringing home a haul.
