Because I’ve decided, Internet, that you absolutely want a T-shirt with Jim the Minotaur from my Uncanny series. The shirts are super soft! Right now we’re just doing the two colors to see how they do. 💕

I just heard that the final book order needs to be submitted TOMORROW (Tues 5/5) and they are still pretty low on the Chinese/English picture book, "Loving Kindness" headhousebooks.com/list/donate-... Many food pantry guests are Chinese-speaking grandparents who want to read to their grandkids <3

They cut school lunches and THIS is the bipartisan school funding bill they come up with? Fuck you.

Buddy Up on Broad (my synagogue's spring toy and book drive) is back!!! Please donate a book in English, Spanish/English, or Spanish/Chinese: headhousebooks.com/list/donate-... Choose "in-store pickup" at checkout and put "buddy up on broad" in the comments at the bottom.

I'm tentatively considering switching psychiatrists, anyone have a psychiatrist in the Philly area who takes insurance and is genuinely an expert in ADHD? (meaning, they don't just list it as a specialty in the insurance database, but actually focus on it and keep up with new research etc.)

what struggles did i miss? 🤔

Film you’ve watched more than 6 times with a gif Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli

That one I kind of get, mostly because Trump so milked what was almost certainly a small cut from shattered teleprompter glass and tried to pass it off as a bullet injury. Once the target appears to be faking injury it's easy to imagine more fakery at play

he was nothing but a humbug, trying to be a bugbear.

Holy shit, I didn't want to yell at a single one of these clinical recommendations

Googly eyes might stop seagulls from stealing your lunch. UK researchers stuck googly eyes onto takeout food containers in seagull-infested places and found that they were far less likely to be approached or pecked compared to un-googly-eyed control containers. buff.ly/G5i7JE5 #ShareGoodNewsToo

...and then I find out they released Taijuan Walker. After sabotaging him at every turn for the last year plus. So depressing

being alive in 2026 is mostly just seeing if you can get out of the depressed anxious funk the last crisis put you in before the next one hits

Garrett Stubbs is here and suddenly I am excited to watch the Phillies again

Unwritten Rules: A Steamy Second Chance Baseball Gay Romance (2021)

i assume this happened

EEE congrats!!! So well-deserved, "Murder by Memory" is a fantastic book

several have been claimed but there are still 11 yarns left including my favorite, "Mystery Probably Cotton"! SUCH a lovely blue

therapist: say it with me. i do not need a clean house— me: i do not need a clean house therapist: —to be deserving of love me: to be deserving of love therapist: i do not need a clean house to be deserving of love! me: being messy means i’m a failure and bad at being an adult therapist: NO

Because some comments make me think people missed the PSAs I do semi-regularly: if you were born before 1987, you should get a MMR booster now. The second childhood dose of MMR wasn't added until 1989, and folks who were older than 2 (the age for the 2nd) may not have gotten it.

The duty of confidentiality imposed on you as a law clerk is actually incredibly opaque. I have a vested interest in this topic since my fucking boss used those duties to tell me I couldn’t talk to even a therapist about what he did to me.

“There are people who are saying ‘we won’t be cowed, we’ve been here since the mid-17th century and we’re not going anywhere.’” www.cnn.com/2026/04/20/u...

eeee just heard that several have already been spoken for, so act fast!! 🎉🎉🎉

the "mystery probably cotton" is especially beautiful and it's only $45 for 12 2oz skeins and one 1 oz ball (shipping included)!

ANYWAY, falling marriage rates are always cast as some sort of issue? Don't agree with that. Marriage is no longer *compulsory,* is all that tells me, and that's good. It shouldn't be. Maybe it's because I'm Gen X, but I CLEARLY remember old, married couples who despised each other for decades.

Omg were we ever so young

Muddy Alligators - John Singer Sargent, 1917

Oof, so...guess what? Due to a very frustrating mistake, I had to temporarily "unpublish" my preorder option for A Waltz of Sinister Import (#3 in the Unexpected Adventures of Lady & Lord Riven)...which lost every one of its 200+ preorders! 😱 I am SO sorry for the inconvenience and frustration. 1/2

automate the world's misinformation is the new organize the world's information

I liked this idea enough to call Congresswoman McCollum and suggest it. Had to leave it in her voice mail.

I would like to thank whoever selflessly made this Ed Gamble and James Acaster Celebrity Hunted supercut because I definitely did not want to watch the full episodes

Awful. So awful. So needlessly, horribly cruel.

My most boomer coded opinion is that I should be able to call stores and get useful information over the phone

If men were the ones who got pregnant, this would be in vending machines next to the Snickers bars.

These examples are really useful in showing how little a wealth tax would hurt billionaires, and how much they would help all of the rest of us. This is more money and power than any single person should EVER have, and he is using it to destroy the institutions at the heart of American democracy.

Self-criticism — Philip Burne-Jones, 1892

Every time someone calls a Kyle Schwarber home run "majestic," an angel gets its wings

Omg Trollope included a spreadsheet of his publishing earnings at the end of his autobiography? A legend

EXACTLY

From ambulatory killer plants to tales of Cornish smuggling, from grow-your-own-girlfriends to ravenous medieval vampire queens, from unnamed maritime horrors to ghostly children at the window, from murderous brothers to terrifying replacement mothers... we've got it all!

The Man Who Laughs (1928)

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir. The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell. Open letter linked + explainer 🧵1/ www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gilea...

I can hear the boos as he leaves the field and it is BULLSHIT. This man has been let down by this team at every turn

THANK YOU

This is not Taijuan Walker's fault and yes I will die on that hill I mean it's only the second inning so whatever but where is the run support? Where is the FIELDING?
