This one made me stare into the middle distance a bit tbh

never fucking forgive them for what they've done to the computer

people wonder why i push the Dems so much on trans people. this is why.

Hi I got fancy

I designed and sewed my dress for @louisathelast.bsky.social’s nephew’s wedding last weekend, and I felt pretty fabulous ✨

Parenting sleep report: I’m up to two coffees a day on top of the Vyvanse

the FCC wants to make trans existence in television “explicit” and require warnings the House is trying to ban all books by or about trans people — right now — YOU SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT?? C A L L Y O U R R E P S ~please!~

I appreciate Barney Frank’s legacy as an out gay politician when it was very difficult to do that. I just wish he’d have used his empathy to understand that trans people are fighting the same fight, rather than using his last breath to throw them under the bus

Hey chat, let’s say your company has become a synonym for searching for links. It is to searching what Kleenex is to tissues. How about just jettisoning that? Is that a good idea?

Absolutely perfect two sentences.

If you love this story you'll also love the story of Goodnight Moon's publisher Ursula Nordstrom. She sort to publish "good books for bad children", was Anne Carroll Moore's nemesis and wrote one of the first lesbian books for young readers The Secret Language. share.google/QNiSo7mS6KOA...

My daughter is obsessed with three books and the interesting thing is they’re all by Margaret Wise Brown, but we didn’t force it at all. Those are just the books she responded to most, and now wants to hear over and over again: Goodnight Moon, The Runaway Bunny, and Big Red Barn

Doing this to cars full of high people is a betrayal of Taco Bell’s social contract with our nation

Pick a Bond from photos you already have on your phone

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Same here for fifth graders in about 1993, by my memory.

For the record, this proposal specifically targets gender identity. You have until May 22nd to submit a comment

They should do this with more interesting questions like “this person in a small town diner genuinely believes Aliens vs Predator is the greatest sci-fi movie of the past 50 years” or “these rural voters say Herman’s Hermits are more influential than the Beatles”

The news seems constantly preoccupied in figuring out if some people in a country of 300 million people have bad opinions

my firm take is that any man loudly worried about fertility rates is a fucking creep

Another hard day building Starfleet vessels down at the shipyards. I'm the guy who installs an antipersonnel mine into every console on the ship. Every time the ship takes a hit, and some ensign gets shredded by shrapnel? That's my contribution. It's tough but necessary work.

Hey all, an old friend is running a Backerkit for a really cute card game of battling gnomes. No AI involved! Real human art and writing! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/g...

Wait, something went…right?

I’m tired of the dishonesty of this entire debate. The folks calling for “perspectives different from their own“ are shutting down Women’s and African American studies because they hate differing opinions. Marginalized folks had a small foothold, and powerful people decided to push them out.

this is an actual Bluesky Rule: if you have ever so much as exchanged a single like, you are required to hold up the book in the shop and say "hey my friend wrote this"

When you have a baby everyone wants to know how sleep is going. Well, how it’s gone for the last little bit is best summarized by how I kept almost falling asleep while getting a haircut today

Here, I fixed it

"What’s driving me crazy, then, is not the idea that AI exists or that people are using AI. It’s that I have a finite time on this earth that I mostly want to spend interacting with other human beings."

I don’t know the answer but the delivery method is definitely a Winamp player with a sick custom skin.

I just realized that if *I* were to write a feminist retelling of Penelope’s story during the Odyssey I would have a subplot where the suitors keep asking the women in their entourage how long weaving a funeral shroud is supposed to take, & they all agree she’s taking a normal amount of time

The thing about an iconic Song of a Generation is that generations are too large. The correct answer for every individual is whatever they listened to on repeat when they were 16 years old. For example, if you are 43, there’s a strong possibility the answer is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

save the bees

I typically carry a little baggie of dry cereal or goldfish crackers with me in public and if somebody looks gentle enough ill offer to let them eat a little bit out of my open palm

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

Obviously I hate that that leather-tanned ghoul is going after SSRIs but I am a bit “let them fight” about him and big pharma

It’s such a gorgeous day and I really wish I had any energy but it’s been a couple of weeks since I got more than about 5 hours of sleep a night so staring blankly into space is what I’ve got

DS9 Fandom:

Not me, laughing at this for 10 minutes straight.

It’s a beautiful day, so I understand the impulse to drive around blasting your music with the windows down, but maybe first turn off the voice directions on your GPS so passerby don’t have to hear Siri yelling NEXT TURN LEFT ON MADISON

I hate that it’s becoming difficult to distinguish between shitty AI writing and the shitty social media writing it was trained on

ever since i was a little girl i always knew i wanted to be in bed on my phone

ME: It's weird and bad to eat food in the bathroom. We all agree on this. Yet it's normal to drink water in a bathroom. So where do we draw the line? Is seltzer okay? A vodka tonic? Shaved ice? This uncertainty is why our country is falling apart JUDGE: Bailiff,

This seems…bad

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

As a new parent this one is in my head every single day

This is so true. Every time I hear someone talking about how they can’t possibly do what they do without AI I want to shake them. Do what you did in 2022 or so! It hasn’t been that long!

I hope my baby never stops kissing the pages of her favorite books. Sure, right now she thinks “I press my forehead against it and then give it several licks” is how kissing works, but she’s got the spirit

these 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 things they neither lift nor peel. I can't remember the last time I didn't give up and stab the damn thing to get it open without dealing with this bullshit

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

Just finished Hell’s Heart by Alexis Hall, which was really excellent. I’ve been a fan of Hall’s for a long time but this is his first foray into sci-fi, and it’s terrific. A sapphic retelling of Moby Dick, set in a far future where people now hunt the beasts that swim in the atmosphere of Jupiter
