But let's be honest here. Occam's razor for "dude with a bit of power does a creep turn vs. a grand conspiracy to frame them" is rarely a tough call.

if you’re a dude reading this like “gawrsh this is awful what can i do” it is 100% to shut down your cousins / friends / bros when they do shit like this. Shame them. Impose social stigma for them lesser weevils who think harassing marginalized people in creative industries is OK

CIS people (especially white men) please read this. This fight is not trans folks fight. This is why they are leaving. This is why gay folk are leaving. This is why all women should be making plans. What they take from one they will take from all. This story lays it out succinctly, w impact

Octopus don't have round pupils.

Based on what? Men are men before they're Rep OR Dem.

Is "have a diver swim over and knock on the door" not an option

He's gotta get his dip-tet, honey!

Really hoping the Floridians who actually exist can see thru this guy's bigotry but make it hip schtick

ICE has been really good at catching wind of these unannounced visits in other cities recently and flying all the captured migrants out beforehand. But not today. Well done catching them, Congresswoman. We should expect that all of the detention centers are this bad when they aren’t tipped off.

every day's a beautiful day to go to "Settings" > "Content and media" and turn off "Autoplay videos and GIFs"

This is why that TACO shit isn’t funny in the least. His brain is shrinking, he’s cornered, and today is the sanest he’ll be for the rest of his life.

Don't watch this if you have a neurological condition. (You HAVE turned off autoplay, right?) Migraine now officially escalated from "maybe it'll go away if I take a nap" to "damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead" 😵‍💫

The biggest publishers on the planet are telling authors to push their new books as often as possible on their personal social media, so I'm not sure "too small for marketing money" is an argument that's going to stick

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE TAGGING ME IN ON THE VATICAN / PENTAGON BEEF HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

duuuude. I don't heavily share about my Partner because he prefers it that way. Not because I don't love him enough to acknowledge he exists!

Half my feed is impending apocalypse(s), and the other half is some of the most amazing science photography we've ever had. Inside us are two wolves etc.

My kids likes horror stories and romance stories. They *usually* stick to YA titles, but have occasionally ended up with a more adult one. It's not a problem. Actually, the only title that's caused genuine distress was a YA that our library had selected for their best teen books of the year list!

Since today is First Contact Day (the day in Star Trek when humans meet their first aliens, Vulcans) it’s worth talking about that story a bit and how it can inform our analysis of Artemis. This involves a lot of spoilers from the film Star Trek: First Contact 🖖🏽 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Tr...

Your regular reminder that dehumanizing the people who are dehumanizing others isn’t how we’re gonna get to liberation. We have to live into the world we want to create.

There were multiple vegetables I couldn't eat at all as a child because they'd cause the most incredibly painful gas and cramping.... they are never out of stock in my fridge today.

Mojave CA. I trust I do not need to explain.

Next you're going to tell me they don't have 15 browser tabs with maps and associated Wikipedia pages, that stay open for easy reference until you finish the book

I've only ever seen one rollover crash, and that guy wasn't calling the president... he wasn't walking around.... he wasn't chatting with the cops.... he was silent, in shock, and staying perfectly still, with someone holding his neck stable until the paramedics could backboard him

Even in a world where LLM never existed this is solid mentoring

The last time I tripped and fell in public, someone tried to literally PICK ME BACK UP before I'd even caught my breath.

Does canceled mean "skipped one particular dish at the potluck"

The song opens with a land acknowledgement 🤯

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

welp there goes my plan for world domination

I suddenly need to remember how to do synthetic division.

Stop April Fools posting, we have a winner

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

But on the other hand, at least it's hideous

Nothing, not one single thing. Except for "We know more about this than you do".... and even that's only *mostly* universal.

Gotta give it to Bruce on this one. At least Tony knew what he was.

I didn't eat a lentil til I was living on my own. And then I was mad that I missed out on 25 years I could have been eating them.

disagreeing so hard I've landed on "you're never too old to skateboard"

in memoriam, a night off from trying to take over the world

Rare these days for "Sailboat slow" to be the feel-good news of the day, but let's enjoy this brief sojourn to the 19th century.

Ah yes, the "leaving the calling card thing". A behavioral indicator popularly attributed to serial killers and -- apparently, according to Graham here, though I suspect some in the Corps might disagree -- Marines.

Very rude of the orange to allow itself to be hunted so successfully, only to traitorously refuse to be edible

WHAT

Sure, there's only one transfeminine olympian, but there are countless trans women around the world who need to be reminded they are not welcome in any communal space where authority on gender is officialized and policed, and that's the real point of these bans.

Ok, well, I'm the president of my house, so I'll be claiming the same totally real presidential permission slip.

Good news, everyone! Every single important problem facing the people of Pennsylvania was apparently solved before today!

Picasso's "dickheadedness" didn't include using museum ticket sales to raise millions to directly attack an entire class of people.

There's literally already a treaty about this

tbh I always kind of assumed gannets would be stabby assholes, but this one seems much more chill than I would be if someone yanked me into the water and then started manhandling my wings

Say what you will about my brain; my butt is completely normal. Gluteotypical all the way.
