Just heard about this huge (49 state) long covid trial using tirzepetide (aka zepbound) one of the newer glp meds. It’s run by researchers at scripps, funded by the eric & wendy schmidt foundation. It looks like it is still enrolling, fully remote participation: longcovid.scripps.edu/locitt-t/?ut...

EXACTLY. I do not want to know what they did together, I loathe one to the point where I can’t even listen to him and barely stand the sight of him, the other just plain disgusts me and I would like him to disappear from public life and retire quietly. Unless they did crimes I don’t want to know.

I could give a shit about what two dirtbag adults do with each other, but I sure do care about how many girls and women they abused

This is true and it is also true that Texas, for example, will soon be a majority minority state which is part of why the suppression schemes have gotten so extreme there.

I’m in Port Townsend, everyone had headlights on at like 2pm, perfectly normal

Just up the road from me!! Eee so beautiful

Oh I should do this. I have a thing I’ve been meaning to write. @gfrancie.bsky.social Wanna join me?

In case you were wondering how dark it is in Seattle, the UV index is ONE. Anyway maybe swap your SPF for some Vitamin D #wawx

There’s a para here that includes “after the animals were hunted to near extinction.” Using cop voice for hide hunters is really a phenomenal insight into objectivity brain

In case you are confused about respectability politics, here is a prime example. Pete, they will come for you, too.

WTF - that knitwear is ART. I would love to knit the cop uniform

It took me a minute to realize your point, so please forgive me spelling it out here for other folks like me: There's nothing explicit or sexual in the QP. The algorithm is defining "gay/homosexual/LGBTQ+" as "adult content." That is bullshit.

The other day I mentioned that Hong Kong Phooey, in which I played Rosemary, is having a BIG ANNIVERSARY and they've made an amazing DVD for all you Phooey Fans, well this morning I heard from the guys that made it.... here's the link. www.themeparkology.com/sci-fi-fanatix

Whenever people diss the romance genre or act as if it is by definition second-rate, I think about how genuinely difficult it is to write a truly effective (and non wince-inducing) consensual sex scene (whether cute, fun, passionate, tragic, comedic, horny, moving, etc). Especially an explicit one.

Automated moderation is bullshit. Exhibit 23948032 —>

Reminder to get your flu shot! I finally got mine the other day.

Art is resistance.

I haven’t read the article but I can tell you what works for me: Black lentils and drink plenty of water (where “plenty” is that rubric of your body weight divided by two = number of ounces to drink)

And you thought I was joking about the snorkels #wawx

I have a funny memory involving brownie bites and ecumenical experiences as a child. When I was a kid, on a saturday night I would spend the night at my friend Annie's house. (sometimes she spent the night at mine.) Annie was Lutheran, I was Catholic and we might go to each other's churches.

Perhaps I should just bake this morning. Brownie bites anyone? preppykitchen.com/brownie-bites/

On hey would you like sapphic longing/enemies to lovers ? This way

Rude. I mean. Yes, ok fine. I’ll exhale.

Because of this painting, when I was watching a recent episode of 9-1-1 and the onscreen patient did this arch, I said 'oh shit, tetanus!'

Are you holding your breath right now?

The game is also given away by the fact that they banned @sarahkendzior.bsky.social for *Johnny Cash lyrics* accompanied by a link to *an article about Cash*, providing all sorts of context. Now they've banned Patton Oswalt for his hyperbole-expressed disgust at pedos and child-rape apologists.

Every now and then I remember that sponges are ANIMALS — that these seeming hybrids of plant and rock; these sessile, porous, tissue-and-organ-less barrels, tubes, and blobs are just as much an animal as a falcon, wolf, or shark — and marvel once more at the wonderful weirdness of life on Earth.

Seattle, get out your snorkels for your commutes today #wawx

Today is my birthday, which you know I always use as an excuse to spoil you! November 14th, everything online is 14% off, no code needed! Just skedaddle on over to the site and get shopping!⁠

I miss the QFC on 15th. It was so convenient when I had forgotten something and just needed to dash out for something. it’s supposed to rain like all day tomorrow so we will see if I make it outside and venture further.

Last weekend I made a pound cake and we have been chipping away at it. Tonight my gf suggested putting some apple cider caramel sauce on it. SO GOOD since the cake is getting dry.

Though if you're a gardener, I will say a hori hori is a fantastic tool. Been using one since 2019 and it's a go-to still.

Got this cookie dough made. 10000 financiers here I come. I am going to try making them with hazelnuts instead of almonds.

a day of being reminded how many adult men knew I was a child and hit on me or followed me in their cars anyway — joy. just the memories I wanted dredged up from 20+ years ago

"all love triangles should end in poly relationships" My new religion thanks to Katee Robert!

I am out of all the tea that I LOVE so I am reduced to my second-tier options. This tea is not cutting my mustard. Fortunately I have ordered more tea and it will be coming next week.

Imagine what our world could look like if we protected children and punished predators

Sure lotta sexual predators in nice buildings. Like cockroaches.

Also they have this really cool shirt unioncoffeegear.com/product/tran...

Twin cities friends: I'll be speaking tomorrow at the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science on how AI disrupts the sometimes precarious balance of scientific incentives.

KC Metro bus this morning came early. Clock on the bus was 3-4 minutes fast. I said something to the driver so he’s waiting and several people have come since.

Paging @mjandersen.bsky.social

Every location has a picket line in front of it. Don’t cross the line.
