I thought this was a preorder but it arrived! I love the beautiful and totally not poisonous wallpaper background. Thank you @kjcharleswriter.com for your joyful works and congratulations on the lovely hardback! Trooper Loops also sends congrats.

I have been rewatching through Stargate SG1 for the first time since it aired and I loooove it :) My sis and I used to call it the forest sci fi show (little did we know I’d end up moving to that forest planet here in British Columbia!). Such a fun bunch of characters, stories, and just good sci fi!

Honestly I was only interested in it due to Caleb Hearon’s involvement, but this is actually gonna get me to watch it

*sings in Eleanor Rigby* Pull on my finger I will pretend it's a lever that leads to my bum Gases will come

This is still the most adorable fish

Incredible scenes here as we receive an Atlantic sturgeon from @palaeoplushies.com look at itttt

This has always sort of been my de facto logo because I printed it on my envelopes. It's a self portrait of me as a tyrannosaur trying my hardest to sculpt a self portrait out of cardboard, popsicle sticks and toilet paper tubes.

i made a new zine about the (many) similarities between david foster wallace's postmodern classic infinite jest and queer hockey series heated rivalry – my two primary obsessions of the past few months. i made stickers too! available here if you are the same kind of insane as me: fwyl.bigcartel.com

Damn, I forgot about it and left the Colin Catterpilar cake in the cupboard for weeks.

Dawne Moone and Theresa Tobin share lessons all of us can learn from LGBTQ Christians of color, a group many do not think even exists, about how they fight for recognition and justice. Check out "Learning from LGBTQ People of Color about Wholeness and Justice in Today's World" from our April issue.

I hate all of you for making me hear "Marxist Caeser Papist fusion" to the ninja turtles theme

I recapped every episode of this cursed show, and still remember so many details vividly. Not just the infamous ones like, "Your brother is standing in the MIDDLE OF AFGHANISTAN," but little things, like Christine Lahti playing a very thinly-veiled Maureen Dowd.

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif I had many options but this gif is so beautiful

Bookstore/café open all night. Cozy chairs, boardgames, lots of charger points for laptop users. Soft lighting, strict noise limitation.

Rewatched The Man From U.N.C.L.E. tonight, and that movie remains an absolute blast. One of Guy Ritchie's better efforts, especially in recent times. Awesome Daniel Pemberton score too. Damn shame we'll never see a sequel, especially when they set it up so perfectly...

New fish plush design! The long awaited Arapaima gigas! For sale over here: www.palaeoplushies.com

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a new music video for her remake of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose"—featuring Barbara Hershey, other celebrities, and crowds from the No Kings protests in a joyful, powerful show of resistance. You have to see this.

Each La Brea seep is its own Ice Age time capsule. As asphalt emerged at different times, different ecosystems were trapped, preserving life thousands of years part in neighboring pits like 3, 4, and 61/67, pictured here. Dig deeper into our excavations: tarpits.org/experience-t...

I love that without any evidence, on a civilisational level, we all just naturally assumed giant killer octopuses were a thing and we were right.

At this point the only reason to call it the Labour Party is it lasts too long, hurts like hell, and people keep popping in and out to check on your genitals.

I do not use and will never use generative AI to make my plushie patterns or artwork. I enjoy the process too much and learn so much about each animal I make when drawing them, I will never let a machine take away this joy from me.

His full name is David Lubega Balemezi. "Lou Bega" is just his little bit of moniker.

Delighted to receive a physical copy of this fantastic poetry collection by @kymdeyn.bsky.social … a great debut. Go buy! @ninearchespress.bsky.social

After disappearing from the Milwaukee River in the early 20th century due to overfishing and habitat loss, the new discovery of an adult sturgeon 20 miles upstream from Lake Michigan is a milestone in a massive restoration project that’s been underway for 20 years www.wuwm.com/lake-sturgeo...

I heard there was a handy clasp That helps rock climbers with their grasp Of ropes, and makes your keyring look much keener It saves on space, it opens in, And closes with a subtle spring, The humble and the trusty Carabiner

Another week goes by, and this has now reached 98,000 signatures!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 On now to 99,000. Once again, I ask any woman reading this, who is disgusted at the treatment of trans women in the U.K., to please sign it at the link below👇, then pass it on. Every signature counts. Notinourname.org.uk

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far - POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church?? POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there

JD Vance, the man who dares ask, "IS the Pope Catholic really?"

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

This story is absolutely wild

I'm sorry I said you weren't very scary.

Most people use "Christian nationalism" as a catch-all, as if there was one united movement aiming for Christian power. But there are actually 3 distinct movements competing for power in Trump's America — with different theologies, different strategies, and real tensions between them. My latest.

i appear to have asked a question akin to "how do Rebel Alliance schoolteachers feel about Darth Vader?"

My cousin just sent me this and the laugh rule IS sacred, even if it's from the other blue hellsite (no not that one the OTHER other one)

Wicked part 2: better on the second time. Not great like part 1, but better! For Good is a legit great song, especially performed by @meakoopa.bsky.social and our friend Justin with real love 💝

Okay, it's time for the first 2026 round of Eliminate the Invasive Species with Delicious Food. ie I will be making Three Cornered Leek Pesto.

another term for "dickaresque" is "bildongsroman"

While this is fair, there are more people in the U.K. who think this than you expect and a lot of them are very politically influential

This perfectly illustrates my point that the British tabloids are aiming at a US audience. There like 5 people in the UK who think about this. But it is huge among US evangelicals. British politicians need to ignore UK tabloids, as UK tabloids are talking to an audience in the US for clicks.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

New Philosophy Tube just dropped on Nebula ⭐️ A complete history of conversion therapy from 1849-now, including an exposè of groups trying to keep it legal in Britain and enforce it on the NHS with the apparent blessing of Health Secretary Wes Streeting nebula.tv/videos/philo...

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.
