Now I know what to look for on my son‘s Chromebook 😱

There’s a glaring historical inaccuracy in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film of The Odyssey: they didn’t have cameras back then. Theatres should have a blank screen and an old man reading out the script

Evergreen from @edsbs.bsky.social

Whenever disabled people demand accessibility and accommodations there’s always someone who deems them excessive, unreasonable or unnecessary while also imagining there’s somewhere, somehow, a magical entity making sure accessibility is provided for Those Who Really Need It™️ There’s no such thing.

Excited to be listening to Platform Decay by Martha Wells on Hoopla! In my mind, Kevin R. Free *is* Murderbot. I’ll read it again in print, but I had to experience it on audio first! www.hoopladigital.com/audiobook/pl...

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

Every single time.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

A Constellation of Chronic Medical Conditions Commonly Seen in Autistic & ADHD Adults

Stop Victim Blaming! Enough is Enough! "Don't try to “fix” us, regardless of your intentions. Believe me, we’re trying, and we’ve heard it all before." - Alana Saltz linktr.ee/thezebraalliance #chronicillness #raredisease #invisibleillness #disability #EDS #ehlersdanlossyndrome #mentalhealth #HSD

Maybe going to start using that phrase at home to teach it to my elementary schooler… 🤔

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

if you’re ever worried that you peaked, just remember that the astronauts furthest away from the planet rn are all over 45

If they remade back to the future and had Marty go back and astonish the crowd and kept everything the same amount of years apart he could play either Smooth by Santana ft Rob Thomas or No Scrubs by TLC

autistic people are fine and good and we should not be trying to eliminate them, or blaming anyone for their existence. their existence is good.

Hey if you need some more trustworthy Star Trek shirts... I know a guy. (It's me I'm the guy. Visit willburrows.art/shop)

My favorite development on The Traitors is how everyone is pretending that Johnny and Tara being friends was a dark secret they kept

I suppose, but the rules I've seen... "avoid WE in stage directions" and "don't describe anything we can't see," etc, seem to steer writers away from the brief evocative writing that develops into a voice. Stage directions are where you convey the mood that *music* will set when produced.

Well, okay, some rules. But a lot of the "rules" they teach young writers seem designed to leach the personality from their scripts. Especially now, with AI looming, it's a good time to let a little quirkiness through.

This tribute is so touching, to me

This whole thread is amazing. I think the William Blake is my favorite (spoilers).

Untrue! Some of us came in second.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

That time of year again!

Enemies to lovers movie* so nice they made it thrice.

Extremely pleased with this news!! A Biltmore Christmas is an annual favorite at our house, and we rewatched it again this year. Congrats to the creative team, especially screenwriter Marcy Holland. The first script is such a delight!

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

I recently shut this down with a simple, "Don't use that word." It's that simple. Most people get embarrassed for being called out.

Yule of a Took!

“Welcome home, sweetie! How was your flight? I bought that cereal you like. Your old bedroom is now a jigsaw puzzle room. Remember Carla from church? She drowned.”

welcome home to your parents’ house, the channels are Yellowstone, masterpiece mystery, and Jimmy fallon, btw someone from your high school died in a real weird way

"My child was perfect and has been replaced by a changeling baby," but in the year 2025.

it's a strange thing to ponder that you might have seen the peak of human technological achievement in terms of usability, adaptability and capability and it was running Windows 98

The following is a statement from the WGA on the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

“Nuclear jailbreaking poetry too dangerous to share” is the kind of detail that proves that God, too, is a Borges fan

I think my robot vacuum is the exact same kind of neurodiverse as me, because no matter how many rooms I tell it to vacuum it always says “I estimate this will take 5 minutes to complete.” Same, RoboVac, same!

Every few years I feel compelled to post about the best hotel hack ever, because every time I post about it, it turns out to be new to lots of folks …

Such a great movie! And it always makes me smile to think that the writer & creator of the super serious Andor show got his Hollywood start with this one. Toe pick!
