Rabbit locomotion — Brehms Tierleben, 1914

Just got given my Award of Arms in the SCA and only cried like: a tiny bit

Not mythical, but Ottawa Otters would be funny 🦦

Devastated to realize that because they changed the name of the Montreal and Boston teams to More Legally Distinct™️ ones, the Ottawa team in #HeatedRivalry will probably not be the Ottawa Centaurs I hope the new name is equally goofy and mythological themed, at least I vote the Ottawa Mermen

Ornithocheirus simus. A new portrait of this early Cretaceous pterosaur. #SciArt

Oh damn, Pantone can paint a room but can’t read one

sexy teen soap set at starfleet academy? why not! they should make every type of show star trek. moody scandinavian police procedural star trek. half-hour family sitcom starring worf. vulcan columbo

*nods gravely* Goncharov

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Let’s hear it out. You have the floor, carnivorous death ball

Fuck that shit

I am very much *not* excited about Universal's apparent #TheMummy sequel. Especially in light of Lee Cronin's other Mummy film already in development with ACTUAL Egyptian leads. Please read my latest for @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social to understand why 🙏🏽 thenerdsofcolor.org/2025/11/05/a...

Whoops

YEET

There’s some poetic symmetry to Dick Cheney dying and New York electing their first Muslim mayor, on the same day

Me: Dick Cheney is dead My Dad: Good! Like Kissinger! :)

Tim Curry is always first and foremost Nigel Thornberry in my heart

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Yikes

Bats bats bats bats bats bats bats bats bats bats bats bats bats 🦇

Way back in the pause before this announcement, I said that if Doctor Who and Heartstopper (two cultural juggernauts) were to be canceled, it would be a very grim sign of things to come. Both of these shows have now been reshuffled and defunded. This is de facto censorship. #SaveQueerStories

#WoTtober 29: love. If you know, you know. #WoTskies #TheWheelOfTime #art

And thou no more art prince than she is queen.

This is really cool! A rabies vaccine, applied as a gel to fur, spreads quickly among bats as they lick and groom each other. That prevents rabies outbreaks in other animals. www.science.org/content/arti...

Democrats saying “how dare they murder people and not letting us help sign off on the bullshit justifications for that” instead of “how dare they murder people” is peak Democrat behaviour, tbh

Not now, carnivorous death ball sponge

Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS

“They should have made #TheHuntForBenSolo!” Pass-The last thing the current social climate needs is more narratives granting sympathy & ‘uwu they’re misunderstood & need a woman to subjugate her own identity & forgive his crimes, including those against her POC friends’ auras to white male fascists

If you're a normal person visiting Versailles, every other thought is "No wonder they killed these bastards..."

Me: i am self isolating due to depression, let’s reach out and see if any of my friends want to hang out with me my friends: … Me: self isolating it is!

i see you're doing something online that you have effortlessly done 100,000 times. would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? would you like to use this ai tool? w

i think every time a landlord wants to raise rent they should have to go to a courthouse or something and spin a big wheel where like one third of it lets them raise it by 10 dollars, one third of it forces them to lower it by 50 dollars, and the last third is no change just dunk tank

If you can’t conceive of any direction for ‘the story to go’ that doesn’t involve another tired narrative of queer women’s love ending in death, tragedy, and heartbreak then you frankly don’t deserve to be in charge of writing anything more emotionally complex than the back of a cereal box

New era of shanties has arrived @erinbiba.bsky.social

If Anya was newly pregnant, & we assume Vikram got time bubbled at the very end of 1847, she could have given birth in 1848 So there is nothing stopping me from wondering if the Darrington Dare who turned 40 in 1888, could be Vikram’s son under an assumed name

It’s not, and never will be ”homophobia” to critique a white actor getting to keep his job & have a hugely expanded role in the narrative, while the show prematurely killed off TWO black queer characters in the same season, (in addition to killing several other characters played by the black actors)

you ever think about those real weird overlaps. like tennessee williams might have listened to the ramones

'taylor is gay' 'taylor is straight' 'taylor's entire sense of self is so carefully constructed within the constraints of normative identity that she is desperate to make it everyone else's problem how much she can't quite convince herself that she enjoys the boring missionary sex she has w her guy'

@kangus.bsky.social hey favour to ask: some set pics just dropped of the new Sense and Sensibility adaptation, can I borrow your Elayne or Elaynt skills to identify if this is Ceara Coveney I’m seeing?

“But aren’t you CURIOUS about the torment nexus?” No. Leave it alone. It can only lead to suffering.

"The tight-laced corset without a chemise is artistic license! It’s not meant to be historically accurate!” I'm aware, but 'oppressive tightlaced corsets’ is a trope done to death so thoroughly, that I find it a fairly reliable sign that the storyteller has nothing else unique or interesting to say

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Anti-vaxxers aren’t questioning the science, they’re questioning who deserves to live

Waiting to get my covid shot at a Walgreens and I'm the only one waiting who's wearing a mask. Please, I'm begging you all, to work with logic.

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
