People love to talk about how awful theater kids are, and they’re not wrong, but let’s be real, debate kids have made this country a lot worse

NEWS JUST IN! A new book will in fact solve all your problems

Archie is getting that slightly scraggly fur that older cats get but he still has such a baby face!

Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with 2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

I’m going to be incredibly vague on purpose here, but fucking around has very little time until find out goes into effect and I’m really wondering if they are confident in themselves and their decision.

Blame @captainawkward.bsky.social for this but presenting the faces of my pets (mammals anyway) before and after being sung too

Ayyy my shoulder popped back in its socket!

Day 188 of photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's #JohnOliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution John(H. sapiens) with a Leptopecten gilbertharrisi, named for PRIs founder, who didn't trust Cornell to value his science/collections 👀 #SavePRI #Cornell ⚒️🦑🧪

Temu, a plug-in heater that 'doesn't plug in', and more: 2025's 'Shonkys' revealed

Hey do I know any reporters in Aus?

Hey, UK FRIENDS, looks like GODS OF THE WYRDWOOD, is only 99p on Kindle and probably KOBO too so if DEEPLY WEIRD slowburn forest adventures are your thing jump on that. www.amazon.co.uk/Gods-Wyrdwoo...

If someone leaves a bad review in what world do people think that threatening the reviewer is going to make the situation better???

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue. we’ll all subscribe en masse

One of our chickens has been broody and hogging both(!) of our nesting boxes, so our other chicken has found somewhere else to lay, and we haven’t found where yet

I do sometimes like to add in small “luxury” food donations *in addition to* recurring cash donations, because my mom’s stories of just standing in the aisle looking at the olives she could not afford really stuck with me. So jars of anchovies, or fancy jam, things that feel like treats.

Made @maxmiller.bsky.social’s chicken paprikash today for dinner and it’s so so good! www.tastinghistory.com/recipes/chic...

As a crier (hate it, wish I wasn’t) the amount of people who think crying is somehow more performative and manipulative is really wild. I’m not lesson professional because I cry instead of yell, or more emotional tbh!

As an educator my rule is please be looking in my general direction, which is all you should really expect from anyone

#TodayInQueerHistory October 25 (285 or 286) Leather fans rejoice! It's the feast of Saints Crispin and Crispinian, who are the patron saints of leather workers. As Pillion and the press pics are very much on my mind at the moment, this felt like a fun one to share 🖤.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

My daft horse game has had over 5000 people play it! I've never made a game before, so this is delightful :3 brainmage.itch.io/i-will-stran...

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

This weekend is definitely a good time to get out for a nature walk… not only are the wildflowers stunning at the minute, it’s also the Great Southern Bioblitz weekend! Record your observations on a GSB project on @inaturalist.bsky.social to contribute #GSB2025 #inaturalist #wildoz #auswildlife

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews

They can do way more with cash than canned goods.

In case anyone else needed some chill cat time today

Lol and I fucking meant it on that day and this one but damn if the lyric didn't hit

I’m up to Book 3 of @genevievecogman.bsky.social’s invisible library and I want to do a DnD game set in this world so bad

The Leverage cast seeing the Louvre heist and collectively posting, "Not it," is the whimsy we deserve.

Saw @ifycomedy.com last night, now trying to argue with my husband that it’s actually toxic masculinity that he thinks he could take a bear, even if it’s just one of littler ones

My most white dude coded belief is that I think I would be great at comedy

An important part of my day is giving Archie a little brushy brush

There is power in disdain

One of the things that makes me really hopeful for the world is how people really do want to be in community with each other, there was a accident near our house today and so many people came out to help, made sure people were ok and called for emergency services.

I just think ten minutes in a human sized ultrasonic bath would fix me

I want to get an art and craft advent calendar this year but searching for things sucks ass now

So Important:

Anyone else get bored of being a medical mystery

Autistic people like myself have been shouting this for years, and we get shut down left and right. Every single country that ABA is active has Autistic operated orgs and groups that have been pushing for the banning of the practice, but we aren’t listened to. We can’t outspend Autism $peaks.
