Everything is awful. Here's a baby goat with a tiny bouquet of flowers picked right out of the lawn at The Beer Garden

Who would rather see baby goats playing than talk about this shit anymore?

Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

I take the day off, but if it's close to the weekend, I'll take 2 days off (or if it's on the weekend, I'll take a long weekend). No reason to work on my birthday, tbh

I get it, everyone wants to be skinny now (again). Fine. Just fucking let me be fat in peace. I'm so goddamn tired.

using a computer is much easier than using a smart phone

fun fact: no pangolin has ever done a single thing wrong in the entire history of the world

“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”

Orban's defeat has me in a good mood, so here are 10 US #KindleBookGiveaway copies of Terry Pratchett's Small Gods, which has an ending that makes me feel the same way. This is a fantastic book, and was the first pterry book I read that I *loved*. #GNUTerryPratchett

initially i thought it extremely inappropriate for jd vance to travel to another country and try to meddle in their elections and now i think he should go stump on behalf of every right wing reactionary party in europe, give him a special budget for it, i don't care, get him on the local news

The folks who spent the week on this website saying Orban was conspiring with Russia to create a false flag attack to freeze elections are the very same folks constantly predicting doom here in the US too so🖕🖕🖕🖕

Hello, beautiful. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

🚨🚨🚨

sort of hard to convey the sheer joy, scale and absurdity of it but Budapest's streets are currently so full, past midnight on a Sunday, that it feels like I'm personally walking back to my room, accompanied by my eight to twelve thousand best friends

Yep. Space studies help us in so many ways- from engineering to climate studies. So it's not frivolous at all, BUT the downside is how closely linked the aerospace industry is with the military complex.

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

Please don't. 📸 Ms Cat And Friends

Dr. Henry Jenkins is GOATed when Media Prescience is the vibe

please help a friend's family out 🫶🏾

The ocean truly is a place of infinite wonder

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

My controversial opinion is I want to take all your massive honkin pickups. Heck also your SUVs NO CIVILIAN CAR should have a grill that comes up to my chest.

Gen X collectively reliving Challenger, Columbia and Cold War nuclear holocaust anxiety all in the same week is a fucking lot, y'all.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

genuinely think people outside of America don't realize how big this place is, how militarized and murderous our police are, how little our politicians care, how disconnected and impoverished we have been intentionally made to be, how we still have slavery just with extra steps. we really suck gang

Thank god. Christ. But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.

Just flipping through MLB games to combat the existential dread and bladder spasms (did not realize how much those would hurt). At least Robert K. Stone, PI, was obliterated.

Well cool I'm glad 92 million people were terrorized for a day for no reason (temporarily at least) and everyone else in the world enjoyed some absurdly high blood pressure

Hey, so I don't know if you could use a bit of time spent doing eight-in, eight-hold, eight-out, eight-hold breathing, but friends, I sure could. Here's a #JohnDoesJapan thread for us.

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

"I can not believe America has becom--" bitch, we have Andrew Jackson on our money. our default money. the only money the bank robot knows how to hand out.

Happy birthday to the illustrious Billie Holiday. Adorned in her iconic white gardenia flowers, Holiday’s hauntingly beautiful voice filled rooms at jazz clubs during the Harlem Renaissance.

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

"Why don't Americans..." they do. There's brave acts happening out of sight everyday. Why don't YOU support them when they get arrested or provide material cover for them?

From a simply outstanding glass plate negative in my collection. No date/info.

Folks! In an attempt to cleanse the timeline, I will - on the 20th May - be walking twenty miles again doing the Great York Walk. But this time, I'm not doing it as me. I'm doing it as 9223, Private John W Brannan, 11th Service Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment, in May 1916.

Hi all, its your friendly neighborhood retired therapist here to remind you that the horrors persist and so do we! Have you: -had a glass of water or something liquid that is not caffeinated recently? -used any calming or grounding techniques you like? -eaten a food? If not, do that now. 💜

pope says call your fucken reps reps.fyi

"Why don't Americans ________?" For the same reason the Russians don't. Or people from any other country where a corrupt government routinely murders citizens.

I don’t want to hear about brave and conflicted service members I want to hear about people sacrificing their careers to do the right thing
