This is to say I have eaten the peaches The come from a can They were put there by a man In a factory downtown

Love crabs? Get a Crab facts (or eel facts or frog facts) advent calendar here! Squidfacts.net They fund my science education nonprofit @skypeascientist.bsky.social!

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Hot take, this is a bad thing

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

in case anyone needs more evidence that the tariffs and similar economic fuckery are doing harm, 26 of the 99 shops I follow on Etsy are either taking a break or just don't have any listings up, and all but 7 of those (that have a location listed) are in the US (not that only US shops are impacted)

It’s Mikus birthday, so here’s a repost of Mr.Frilly in his Hatsune cosplay #miku #hatsunemiku #vocaloid #lizards

I love when the pharmacist goes. No don't buy that, buy this. It's half the price and even better Thanks queen 😘

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

You think you’re so smart and cool and cute. Well you’re right

The closed captions for Smooth McGroove's acapella videos amuse the hell out of me.

Here are four ways anyone can support and help their local library: • Get a library card ⭐️ • Use your library card 🌟 •Visit the library 💫 •Tell everyone to get a library card and support their local library ✨

Can I just put out a plea to local journalists: when you're writing about a split City Council vote, *tell me which way everyone voted.* I had to dig through a dozen different articles about the Labor Relations board vote and veto override vote to get this really basic information!

Honestly still laughing about the tiny possum who was holding onto that can of cat food like a lady holding onto a big floppy hat in a strong breeze

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

The replies and quotes are full of people who have gotten their vaccinations and reporting on how it went in various locations! If you're on the fence, let them encourage you!

Reminder that muting specific words on social media for a day, a week, a month, or even forever can be laudatory self-care.

Yay another pic of our rescue baby Twilight!

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around! 1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video" 2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

Also , so we're clear, if you're making a gif of an execution and throwing it out there without any kind of trigger warning or caring about anyone seeing that kind of violence's trauma, you are an asshole.

this is an interesting test, I only missed one question (I didn't know the answer to the Sweden question)

to the owner of the big SUV with the tinted windows & aggro sticker collection cruising the Ross Dress For Less parking lot at slow speed & high volume, your vehicle would sound less like an earthquake having a tantrum if you install some anti vibration padding & silicone washers in your door panels

Gavin Newsom flip flops more than a dollar store hot dog, and almost as tastefully

I don't like when mobile games have the ad immediately upon completing the level successfully, before any prizes or congratulations screen, it makes me feel like my prize for winning the level is the ad, and that doesn't feel good at all, I don't get the dopamine brrr either

Went out this morning and got our Covid and flu vaccines. They did ask me if I had any immunocompromised conditions and I said cancer and that was all they needed. They said they’d had tons of people getting the vaccine all weekend since they got the new one in.

I, a healthcare lawyer, run through how to navigate the pharmacy websites to make a COVID vaccine appointment. This video is completely shareable, there's no patreon account, no log in at all, required. It's meant to be a shareable resource for your normie friends www.patreon.com/posts/138393...

I don’t truly believe it would be better to be oblivious to everything going on right now and just live like a dullard but I do wish I had a dullard setting that I could toggle off and on

We have a diner in Fishtown, Sulimay's, that always DMs me when I have a new zine or project to ask me to drop some off at the diner. It makes me feel SO appreciated. They just DM'd about this zine too 🥰 Their food is great, and they have a bunch of my friends' art on the walls. 10/10. COMMUNITY.

Cloud is having some crummy tummy issues and we are back to needing to tube feed him to keep his energy and calorie intake up. Nettle, on the other hand, is feeling much better and is a totally unstoppable tiny menace. Getting pics of her is hard because she’s got those baby legs moving!

Goodnight.

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

for an appropriate thrift store price, also

You know that sound Godzilla makes when he’s powering up and all his back spikes start glowing brighter? That’s the sound I’m making right now as I drink a pumpkin flavored latte, looking at leaves showing their first signs of color change.

Highest level of support since Gallup started asking this question a quarter century ago

i learned this trick from a neapolitan tailor about 15 years ago. if you put cuffs into your trousers, ask your alterations tailor to put buttonholes into the seams and attach buttons. this way, you can unbutton your cuffs and brush out debris. IG chad_park_

read this thread. absolutely chilling. forcibly inserting ICE ads into a podcast, and deliberately manipulating the mechanism through which creators have any control at all over which ads are included. this is horrible

Is there an agreed upon (or mostly agrees upon) medical definition for what constitutes long covid that can be easily understood laypeople? Unfortunately, I have LC & simply don’t have the energy or intellect to parse & vet what I’m finding online. #longcovid #medsky
