Why is it not Friday yet? 😞

james cameron every couple of years for some reason:

I hope my little gets a snow day tomorrow so he can stay home and I can smoke him in Mario Kart

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

What's *your* favorite account that you're sad doesn't use alt-text so you don't repost them?

I want to make a list of *short stories* (any genre) published by intersex authors in 2025 & hopefully going forward. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I think now there are plenty of stories. If you have some stories, let me know / if not, please repost to spread the word? Thank you!

My neck has finally started to loosen. Or shatter. Three or four times today I’ve just tilted my head somewhat and my neck immediately sounded like a truck full of jagged granite boulders dumped its cargo down the side of ziggurat. 😵‍💫

A couple of cuties who are getting big enough to graduate soon— Cloud and Pyewacket. Nettle and Phyl are the other two kittens here but they are more “run everywhere and never hold still” types.

Swedish Deputy PM: Sweden needs to pick its friends wisely, and we are choosing Canada… So when we come to America, we come to Canada now.

Prime Video & probably others are trying to replace anime voice actors with AI dubs & anime fans are probably the last people who would tolerate that shit.

When I tell people I’m a classically trained chef who writes cookbooks, they ask me what kind of food I cook. “Autistic” doesn’t seem like a good answer. 😅

Being against genocide isn't antisemitism, doofus.

“The National AIDS Memorial, through a partnership with the AIDS Quilt Touch team, presents all 50,000 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in an interactive experience so people around the world can experience the beauty of the Quilt and witness the love and stories stitched into each panel.”

"How is your new house?" "So far we found just one flaw." "Just one? That's awesome! What is it?" "Can't find the entrance door."

hey if you're interested in jewelry that does not cost seven thousand dollars and look like shit my shop is at nora.jewelry

“Enter Sandman” is certainly the most intense song ever written about taking a nap

NEW QUEER SUPERHERO COMIC KICKSTARTER The Legendary X-Knights are a trio of queer superheroes disrupting a Vampire conspiracy. But now a mysterious foe, the Orange Roc, stands in their way. How can a rag-tag group win out? BACK NOW: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jam...

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

A big bucket with racks to hold dishes, and a chimney brush. Put in dishes, fill with soapy water, stomp chimney brush up and down like you’re churning butter. 🤔

Hmm. As I understand: Chicken fingers/nuggets/strips = chopped, formed chicken meat + seasonings/tvp/binding agents/etc. Chicken tenders/fillets = a contiguous chunk of actual chicken meat. (Not sure if these are [handwaves] food-legally enforced terms or not, but afaik that’s the difference. 🤓)

Chicken fingers? Chicken tenders? Let’s just make it easy and call them tender fingers

I don't want to talk about World AIDS Day because I don't want to talk about the person I lost because I don't want to deal with the fact that he is gone and didn't get to teach me to use the cameras he gave me or be one of the people I came out to I don't want him to be gone RIP Bob Finney

Negative self-talk, but calling myself ‘dude’ and calling out my own bullshit like a good friend would.

Just passed out and my life flashed before my eyes and wow that was an awful lot of mayonnaise.

so i’m watching white christmas for the first time and i have questions.

Dear @pnh.nielsenhayden.com and @malf.bsky.social, I am writing feverishly on the novel but am encountering some technical difficulties, I hope to have them resolved soon

“So the plan is to replace all their jobs with AI” Five minutes later: “what do you mean, broke people don’t spend as much?”

There is a well coordinated national campaign targeting a single trans professor at Oklahoma University to get her fired. It's part of a broader campaign to push trans people out of public life entirely. It was never about sports.

You actually don’t deserve to win an election if you are telling people they will have to give up some of their human rights to win and that they should be happy to do so.

I did indeed wake up and choose violence, but it was passive-aggressive violence, and it was against myself. 😞

The thing I love about the USA is that people can start spreading paranoid fantasies like "dentists are secretly flying rhinoceroses" and within a short time, serious thinkers will tell you that you're not a serious, sober, realistic person if you don't believe that dentists are flying rhinoceroses

New post by me on #MITPressReader @mitpress.bsky.social On the 100th anniversary of the #ScopesMonkeyTrial the ways we depict #evolution can still give an erroneous progressive view (that evolution leads to humans or ‘increased complexity’). thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/is-our-pictu...

[trans people fired from all federal jobs] [trans people fired from all military jobs] [trans people fired from jobs everywhere] [cis people fired for being accused of being trans] [cis professors fired for mentioning trans people exist] [trans teacher fired for giving a bad grade to Nazi] liberal:

“That sounds illegal”

Saw a tiktok that said “I am both smarter and dumber than you think I am. Don’t estimate me” I feel that

"I shit on trans people and got called out by a trans person here's why that is an unacceptable violation of the social contract" buddy, go fuck yourself inside out

i know nobody likes ads so please don't get mad at me for this, but the people who make the free entertainment those ads are interrupting don't usually have any control over the length, frequency, volume, or content of those ads. i hate them, too & it hurts my feelings when you yell at me about them

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

*not shopping at Target intensifies*
