true but I think it is even closer to the individual: it was pioneered by those who grew up seeing the erosion of the cozy 'third space' where you're welcome and people hang out. liminal horror is the exact opposite of these feelings, a reflection of what most of our lived reality is nowadays

Like twice a day now I read a headline that makes me remember that time I went to Versailles with my mom, and she looked around and went, “They had it coming.”

I had a great chat with @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social about his long walks through Portland, the stuff he finds along the way, and how he writes on foot.

Once upon a time sbux wasn't a terrible employer, but that hasn't been the case in a long time. Spend your money elsewhere. You likely have better options for a fun drink in your area. I promise you most of them can make a caramel mocha.

I'm not a pro-ban person when it comes to substances but it remains beyond insane that 7-OH is being marketed and sold like it's 5 Hour Energy. This shit is not normal "kratom" and it's not an energy supplement. It's fucking Oxy and if you get addicted to it you will get dopesick.

be careful leaving your snacks outside! 🍉🐛 #art #pokemon #pokemonart

I went to a two-year-old’s birthday party today and their parents booked an LA Waste Management trash truck to come park out front and the way these kids RAN to see this thing up close!!! The WM reps also had party favors and coloring books. Lowkey want to book it for my own birthday

My new favorite thread tbh. Humans are Good, actually.

This strive to remove the humanity from our lives always reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut insisting on buying single stamps despite the inconvenience, or rather, because of doing so.

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

Thread!

In public health, you learn an awful lot about people willing to profit off of harms to children. But my jaw is on the floor. It never occurred to me that the sentence “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital” would ever be followed by the phrase: “But here’s the thing.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

People will continue to be hit by cars and die because Chicago's government has decided that cyclists and pedestrians dying is preferable to having to listen to drivers whine about how they feel inconvenienced

Congratulations! #Animalart #wildlifeart #wolves

chat is it good when your head of state cannot appear on camera during the national anthem at a national championship match for one of your main national sports without getting lustily booed by people who are statistically a lot likelier than average to actually be in or adjacent to the ruling class

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

these are getting weird

If you live in Rose City Park you know we need more coffee shops. For reals. The universe has heard our cries! Mayger Coffee near where the Asian Market used to be has stepped in to fill the void. Its really good, see you there! M-F 0700, Sat/Sun 0800.

"Listen. I don't like to preach, but here's some advice. You'll meet a lot of jerks in life. If they hurt you, remember it's because they're stupid. Don't react to their cruelty. There's nothing worse than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself." - Marjane Satrapi

I have seen this cat here in Portland and he's a chill sweetie. CVS should be proud to have their own bodega cat!! Maybe tell corporate how you feel! www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

96 little guys for your consideration

Happy pride

I love them.

Everybody say hi to Barney!

I personally believe the main reason that we haven't had a modern dinosaur film that's better than Jurassic Park is because JP is all about how we see dinosaurs. I can think of few blockbusters that are as focused on reinventing how the audience perceives a subject.
