HELLO, FRIENDS! The women's shelter where I volunteer lost almost all of their art and craft supplies last year. I can't fix everything, but I have a big network here, and so do a lot of you, and I'm pretty sure that together, we can fix this. www.thingstogetme.com/2169641a9c163

This is your periodic reminder that the Matrix sequels are good, actually, we were all just needlessly crabby about not being handed easy answers on a plate.

The kittens continue to refuse to learn to cook for me. But otoh, my post-work crashout nap was probably the best nap of all time.

Well, @sarahday.org and @profsje.bsky.social and @rcwordsmith.bsky.social and @catrambo.bsky.social are enjoying a beautiful writer's workshop AT THE BEACH, but I'm not jealous at all.

I still think every Olympic event should include a regular person for scale.

I am running up to all the figure skaters and the ice dancers. I am kissing them on the forehead. I am giving them all awards. This sportart is so beautiful.

That Gladiator skate was so beautiful I cried.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Rick Jackson's governor ad is like "I'm a big pharma billionaire with zero experience in government and I admire the dumbest man alive" like that's...good?? This is why I don't trust boy Rickys.

Olympians are nuts. "This individual is not only breaking the speed of sound on ice skates, they also have four kids, two PhDs in biochemical aerospace molecular physics, and a successful writing career." Calm down, y'all.

And in every case that I've been forced to use a new "AI-enhanced" version of something I had before, the experience is worse, the result is worse, and the task takes longer to complete

*cries in Cold Snap Power Bill*

Celebrated Valentine's Day by taking the recycling to CHaRM, grabbing biscuits at Homegrown, and then having a two hour nap with all the kitties piled up on us.

Really uncomfortable with the immediately post-loss interviews. "What do gou feel like now?" "Well, NBC, I feel like shit. Thanks for asking."

Juno is hardly an unbiased source here, NASA. “‘Guy Not As Big a Deal As He Claims,’ Says Vengeful Wife Guy Cheated On Constantly”

I'm just going to say a thing. What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

Ominous bird valentines.

Pamela Jo Bondi coldly ignoring the Epstein survivors as she memorizes her next irrelevant lie to protect one of the main perpetrators.

why aren't people loyal to their jobs and willing to work hard and go above and beyond? maybe bc everybody's boss is now telling them their job is in danger bc their standards are low enough to replace them with a shitty robot that doesn't work

Gotta be honest, I was never sure exactly what day it is. I'm pretty sure this is it, though, so: Happy birthday, Dad.

No, YOU'RE watching Terminator and crying again.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

The director of the latest DRACULA said that the book is the story of a man waiting 400 years for his wife to come back to him. Are we reading different books?

Age verification? *horrible shrieking noises of a dial-up modem*

Good morning

Me: "Some mediocre YA book-to-movie adaptation circa 2016? Nah, not today." Some mediocre YA book-to-movie adaptation circa 2016: *gives its weirdly attractive bad boy love interest wings* Me: "You son of a bitch, I'm in."

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

[previously in the NYT] Hart: i've sold AI to to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook and by gum it put them on the map NYT: wow! sounds legit! Hart: and look! i've got your nose! NYT: OH MY GAWD NYT: are you a wizard??

There were 87,000 ads for legalized sports gambling during the Super Bowl, but sure, weed is the real issue here.

That was a Very Good Bunny.

"Green Day did a three song medley, including the title track, off an album entitled 'American Idiot,' written specifically in response to a president lying us into war and cracking down on civil rights at home, but it wasnt political bc XYZ" is really something ppl are trying to argue? lol

Tonight we're gonna re-litigate "did Green Day sell out/is Green Day really punk?" like it's 1999.

*dries up into a tumbleweed and blows away*

🎶but she doesn’t notice me🎶

Ich koude wynne a gold medal at the olympics yf ther was an olympic sport called worryinge about everyethinge all the tyme

"That show is sold out."

Toad did not answer. Toad* was already asleep. *it's me. I'm Toad.

so many things in this world are bleak and depressing but my God when you think about HIV/AIDS research I just want to cry it was a death sentence for so long people lost so much whole generations of queer elders were lost now we have basically a vaccine

Who do I have to petition for less Ghoul and more Max in S3? #fallouttv

I grabbed my partner and yelled "MYSTERIOUS STRANGER".

Singing the same harmony for *Wild Mountain Thyme* as every other folk singer in the world, but shaking my head while I do it to show my disapproval.

I finally watched KPOP DEMON HUNTERS this weekend. Everybody was right.

MAXIMUS MY BELOVED. #fallout

Talking to the youths like "I cannot stress enough how there didn't used to be ads at the gas pump."

When everything I do feels futile, I like to think about the Voyager records. Literal messages in bottles, and the message is bssically "hello, friends." Maybe somewhere, some time, somebody will find one of them. Or maybe they won't. But the point is, we reached out, and we said "hello, friends."

I'm laid up with various maladies. Carnage the cat is asleep next to me. I reach over to pet her. She immediately rolls onto her side and wraps all four limbs around my arm in a big hug.

Must a Robin Hood adaptation be "good"? Is it not enough that various youngins rob from the rich and give to the poor, while Sean Bean is calmly menacing nearby?

Not now kitten, Mommy has The Horrors.

Benben should have been in bed with two dudes. #Bridgerton
