I keep staring at this phrase, and I know all the words are in English, but my brain just refuses to allow it to have meaning

The “these ADHD meds don’t do shit” -> *misses a dose* -> “well, fuck” struggle is real

🎉🎉🎉 I was keeping an eye on this Red-tailed Hawk in Central Park when a murder of Crows started harassing it. As it flitted from branch to branch, I got this shot. Has to be one of my all-time favorites of a hawk in flight! 🥰🥰🥰 #Hawks #CentralPark #birding

Got my performance review.

For you, my beloved Bsky

Ah, I see it’s “fall down the rabbit hole of drumline videos” o’clock again www.tiktok.com/@drumlinemom...

Me: Hey! Who want's to go look in a hole? Colleague 1: Phil... Colleague 2: No thank you. Me: It's a pretty great hole. No one has looked in it for almost 20 years. I'm gonna stick a camera in it. Colleague 1: I can't believe I'm saying this. PHRASING!

This is something I’ve been thinking a lot about the past few weeks. It’s a bitter and difficult thing to live life with senses cranked to 11 at all times in an environment that is fundamentally hostile to that lack of filtering - at both a sensory and social level

Hard same.

"Yeah, you got me there. God, that was fucked up. You know what? I'm going to need to chew on that one—I don't know what the hell I was thinking. Ouch. Can we talk more next week? Yeah? Cool. Thank you so much, really. Wow. Appreciate it." —Me, two minutes into my interview with Isaac Chotiner.

@alchemy-tits.bsky.social Hey babe, new furniture payment plan just dropped

Again with the "you really didn't need to get this so right".

Days since I’ve uttered the words “well FUCK ME” as the search engine laughs yet again while serving me up the results to a “weird trait/behavior + neurospicy?” query: fucking goose egg This time? Synesthesia and its benefit to memory

“Judicial hulksmash” *chef’s kiss*

Nice

Green comma butterfly (Polygonia faunus), so-called because it has green spots on the underside of the wings and a white spot shaped like a comma. #Butterfly

Honestly, I could solve a lot of my problems if I could just spend more time naked. Pants are bullshit

I wandered down a rabbit hole & it gets even better: she was a student at a kickboxing academy & didn't get selected for pro wrestling training, despite being a huge fan. They arranged for her to have this match knowing Kenny Omega was great at working with kids: www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2017/01...

I love everything about this clip - how carefully her “opponent” is walking her through telegraphing the moves, the choreo taking advantage of the size difference, kiddo going all in on selling it to the crowd, just so fuckin’ wholesome all around

It is 5am, and you are listening to Los Angeles

I didn't know being warned away from someone could be so wholesome

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."

“When instance companies are passing up the chance to fuck people over, you know it’s real and you know the numbers are ironclad” is depressingly reliable analysis

CLERIC: Do you know where I can get some? JEEVES: Sir, you are in the Red Light district. You can “get some” anywhere in the immediate area. PARTY: *smothered giggling* ASSASSIN: (faintly) Just stab him!

"What about a trebuchet," is a valid question and we're glad you asked. Unfortunately, trebuchets are also not designed for safe sleep.

Every pundit article: BLUESKY IS A HOTBED OF RADICALIZATION Majority of posts in my feed: Check out this cool bug/bird/random historical personage I found! Small but vivid minority of posts: Do you think Gritty and Alf are in a polycule or nah?

καλημέρα, motherfuckers

Colleagues who are also in the field, from the deepest depths on my heart, I beg you to stop using the acronym for Cyber Security Awareness Month.

Some days, the sensory gifts are worth the cost

I got yer timeline cleanse right here, folks. A whole clutch of teeny tiny snapping turtle behbehs emerged one at a time from their underground nest and crossed the gravel road while I and a couple other humans watched and made sure they were safe from anyone else coming along.

The world has been especially dark this week and the new baby tapir at the Calgary Zoo has been cheering me up.

Despite having every reason to know better by now, I once again uttered the utterly foolish sentence “I wonder if there’s a music video for this”, then, worse yet, searched for it, and… sweet skateboarding Christ, what in the unhinged blithering FUCK, you guys www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yWU...

This would be the point at which I’ve realized I’m dreaming because things have gotten just too implausibly weird in this reboot

There is a young and polished dude on this train giving big Post-Soviet 90s Ugly Synthetic Jacket fashion vibes, and I am having A Moment
