The three letters that "took him to his final resting place" in Waterfalls from TLC was sex. Which wasn't too far off, buuuuut.

Realizing that kids are basically new people who have NO concept of how things work really helps in raising a kid. When my niece was a toddler, I would find myself repeating "she's still new here" a lot because otherwise, I would yell at a 4 year old and why do that?

I'm 6 years old. My mom is cleaning and gives me an abridged version of Little Women. I lie in her bed, enjoying everything until I have to read a paragraph at least three times, because what do you MEAN Beth--???

this is as seen as I’ve ever felt by a tiktok. it is my biggest language pet peeve and it is EVERYWHERE. I have been cleaning it up in other people’s writing / presentations at work my entire adult life

"Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?"

So, Yesteryear, huh. That was a Lot.

I just filled this out and I hope you will, too. It asks for your address. If you think, "I can't identify myself!" but you post here on this federally-monitored site, you're not making much sense. If you think, "What good will it do?" you're not using every tool available to fight fascism.

Holy shit...

Denzel Washington, 1991 to 2001 Paul Newman, 1963 to 1973 Regina King, 2009 to 2019 (and going) Pedro Pascal, 2015 to 2025 (still ongoing)

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

“Use AI or get left behind!” Please, leave me behind. Drop me off on the side of the road somewhere. Sentence me to a remote cabin with a typewriter and some wildflowers that don’t know how to use the internet

Just to reiterate: it's Stevie Wonder's birthday, so if you see him trending, that's likely why.

Happy Birthday, Stevie Wonder 🎂🎉🎊 "I think it's the album that all artists sort of gauge their greatness on." Prince on Stevie Wonder's "Songs In The Key Of Life" while receiving an NAACP Image Award 💜

Portland bar and club managers talk about "It" happening like medieval Europeans talked about Prester John. Times are bleak now, lads, but one elderly man's failing organs are all that stand between us and 150 million Americans launching a drinking binge.

Funny, romantic, and steamy AF.

Stay alert for HR 7661! This horrible book banning bill has been brewing in the House. Please call your reps to make sure they know about it, and to make sure it doesn't get snuck into any wild-ass omnibus bills. And thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social for the graphic encapsulating the bill

He's reminding me of my screenwriting instructor from college. RIP, Andy.

Happy Mother’s Day to people who believe motherhood should be a choice and not a punishment.

I had forgotten that I'd been given a copy of the Charles M. Schulz manga biography until yesterday, when I found it in my book stack, and I read it last night.

I just don’t know any other option

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

these guys are great man. how are they so simultaneously goofy and stately

Roxy is 7 today.

hot take: women are less likely to use AI because we’re quick to clock flattery as a tool of manipulation

"It is a weird thing as a parent to feel like you were the lucky one and your kids are the unlucky ones." @elienyc.bsky.social tells @deanobeidallah.bsky.social how it feels knowing that because of SCOTUS his kids will grow up with less rights than he had.

When I was a kid, I used to imagine that if my family suddenly came into a lot of money, I'd get a double decker carousel in our backyard. So.

When people ask, "How can I promote my art when the world is going to shit" I hear that as, "How do I have the right to make art when the world is going to shit" And... We need art more than ever during such times. You need to be making art more than ever during such times.

1. How do you go from making one of the best action/superhero movies to promoting this? 2. These guys never had the sense to write fan fiction or anything and I can TELL

I'm a one issue voter at this point and my issue is "are you gonna actually try to fix this nonsense or do you want to return to ~norms~"

we knew it was coming but it doesn't make seeing it any easier. John Roberts is a generational monster, man.

Do you need a good laugh? THIS IS THE POST FOR YOU. @angryblacklady.blacksky.app STRUGGLE RIBS with MUSIC.

If we ever go to a formal dinner and shots are fired, I don't care if we have on make-up and gowns, get in the car, bitch. We're going to Popeye's

A 24 hour laundromat with a craft room and reading room. Ironing and folding would be available, and you could bring your craft or puzzle to work on between loads.

This is the equivalent of taking off your Jordans and bringing them to school so the asshole who would've stolen them from you anyway could have proof that they were the real deal.

The great start to one of my favorite series!

please help if you can!

I said I was gonna share some junk journal stuff, so let me keep my word. This is a bunch of cast off scans from my regular writing journals that I didn't use when I was working on a zine that I need to finally finish and print.

the ideal outcome is that all social media dies, social media is a poison, we should all go back to private livejournals

My dog is BlueSky famous???

oh fuck you jeff bezos FUCK YOUUUUUUU

My braidsperation:

These braids are coming out in the next 24 hours because I am feeling frustrated and need a change, hence the lopsided chop job. If only my stylist could GIVE ME THIS LENGTH ALL THE TIME 🥹

Fandom friends: is there a long fic that you've read multiple times? If so, what is it?

I think I strained my back helping my mom this week, continuing my "hurting myself on ridiculous ways" spree that's been going on since 2021.

I prefer Studio Movie Grill for the dining + movie experience because their menu is better (even though I still miss their fruit and cheese platter). I haven't had a bad experience at an Alamo, but I would only go to one if someone invited me or the movie was showing nowhere else.

Nope. 🥹

Having a Time, thinking I may start posting more photos of my junk journal over here.

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine
