The 3 genders

i say this to my students a lot and am always surprised when they find it discouraging rather than exciting. no one cares as much as you do whether you write that book! you can write it however you want!

spending a saturday night ignoring texts and staying on my couch swaddled in a blanket with a family sized bag of doritos watching video essays about the late iron age

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

Happy International Women's Day to all women trans & cis!

you cannot tell me we're doing dating better than this

Outnumbered the fascists. Police failed to break our line. They got bundled into taxis & fucked off home. Got a pic that goes crazy hard out of the whole equation. Lovely Saturday, over all.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

ok so i had to narrow my choices to only games i have spent 200+ hours in *and* nearly or definitely moved me to tears my9games.com

"but where can i hear an atmospheric post-black metal song from the perspective of a honey bee watching humans get drunk on mead" you ask? come witness: your unholy prayers have been answered

of all the things i was told about amsterdam no one told me about the population of FERAL PARAKEETS that live in a park

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

🎶bring me a dreeeam🎶

"The left will always destroy itself with infighting whereas the right always galvanises" has ALWAYS been absolute bullshit btw.

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

look i get people have allergies or maybe just don't vibe with cats but people who are this vehement about disliking cats is one of the reddest flags what there is

"Media literacy" is quite literally understanding that news media have biases they reveal by what stories/opinions they choose to run and how they frame them. This person is trying to convince you that "media literacy" is pretending that's not the case, don't fall for it.

I’m in the US military and I’m about to make a fortune betting against me surviving a drone strike. The other gamblers don’t know how slow I run

Calling AI slop "slop" is locking in with calling right wingers weird. Don't let up off the gas

poster whose brother changes the oil in the orphan crushing machine: whoa there, don't be so quick to judge. he has bills to pay

watching ORLANDO on Tubi and I think Virginia Woolf would appreciated her work broken up by Jon Hamm narrating BetMGM ads

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

"Everyone is 12" theory going strong

Now is an amazing time to subscribe to this labeler bsky.app/profile/us-g...

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

I’m solving the mystery. What mystery? I don’t know yet, but I’ll figure that out too

one of the things i love about posting my music online is looking at the metrics. like a song i wrote that was overlooked for days suddenly leaps up in number of listens, and i see some dude in indonesia has played it a dozen times in a single day. genuinely made my evening

it was getting dicey there for a minute but ok we can keep the internet

the best fruit remains the apple. multitudes of varieties for all pallets, easy to tell when one is unfit for consumption,extremely versatile in cooking, smells great, and its iconic in the arts. it's not my favorite fruit, but the apple objectively stands head and shoulders above many others

Perfect form. 10/10

do you like 12th century polymath mystic abbesses who received incredible visions? how about a song about her, using her very own words as lyrics? enjoy loud and with headphones 🤘💕🐝

Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.

if anyone is tempted to briefly hand it to John Roberts remember that he is about to finish his life’s work of destroying the Voting Rights Act and save yourself the trouble

billionaires and their toadies forgetting again that taxation *is* the compromise solution. history has been pretty illustrative of what happens otherwise

THAT'S MY JURSE I DON'T KNOW YOU

so in case you weren't aware, i have this hobbyist atmospheric post-black metal project going on called Gosmóða. as of today, we have two songs, and one of them isn't a cover! i'd love it if you gave it a listen 🐝

i think about this a lot

Sure: Light rail, high speed rail, ocean wave generation, solar power generation, wind generation, heat pump tech, geothermal heat pump tech, last mile on-demand transit solutions, better wheelchairs, better wheel chair lifts, better flexible seating on public transit, maker spaces, tool libraries.

Ah, die rationalste Wirtschaftsform

Thank you Ancestors

once saw a video of a cat fighting four stray dogs and sending them running. top comment was "cats do not ever believe they can fail at anything they try"

This Titus Kaphar artwork features shreads of the advertisement that the first U.S. president George Washington placed for the return of a Black woman who was his "property", who had run away. He never caught Ona Judge. Washington was in "Ideal citizen" section of recent Art & Democracy exhibit.

99.9% of the time, these same newsom fans yelling "vote blue no matter who" were and are silent or derisive about crockett, mamdani, and other successfully elected progressives. their entire MO is convincing you that voting for their guy (who we must also never criticise) is our only option

You’re supposed to lend what you can from who you are to the struggle. I do words so I’m lending words, not just online, but trying to get work out there that advances us. Everybody has to look from their skill set & find what it’s special for them to give.
