I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Here's Prashant's 2024 first-author paper in Nature Microbiology 🎉🧪: www.nature.com/articles/s41... I'm also going to recommend the "Smarter Every Day" video that includes interviews with Prasant, explores some of these structures and how they function. It's 30 minutes, but very watchable:

This is the best takedown of Musk I’ve ever read. From a beloved author around my age no less, Joyce Carol Oates.

Today is Viola Desmond Day in Nova Scotia. On this day in 1946, Viola Desmond, an African Nova Scotian entrepreneur and mentor, was arrested for daring to violate racial segregation in a New Glasgow theatre, marking a watershed moment for civil rights in Canada.

Women should have jobs, but Ross Douthat shouldn’t.

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Yep. There was just no way of seeing this coming. 🙄

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation. But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

I'm just waiting for the news coverage in Nova Scotia that talks about low vaccine uptake but fails to comment on how quiet public health has been about availability. Not to mention there's been no education about the Covid vaccine.

Combining the work of 2 #stopmotion #artists: Cliff & Andrea. Cliff animates everyday objects, creating playful scenes for #socialmedia & client projects. Andrea, known for needle-felted wool #animations (sculpts soft, tactile characters & brings them to life thru smooth, handcrafted #storytelling)

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Autumn is playing a blinder this year! I keep stopping and gasping at the beauty of it all in my walks with Lupin. I’ve spent the day sorting the layout of my stand at #gnccfmcr25 Knackered now but glad to have an idea of what can fit where! Only a week till I’ll be packing the car to go eek.

Autistic meltdowns aren’t tantrums. They’re the bodymind saying “I can’t hold this anymore". They’re not moral failures. They’re overload. Pressure leaving the system. You don’t need punishment. You need safety.

Hey Folks! the fancy pigeon of @veppart.bsky.social has some unexpected veterinary costs so Valeria is extra enthusiastically welcoming art commissions!

Not a Wooling, but a dragon inspired by Fourth Wing, made as a gift for a friend. It also sparked the thought of exploring, someday, what a dragon-shaped creature might look like within the Woolings world. #needlefelting #felting #sculpture #dragon #fantasycreature #fourthwing

These felted sculptures are my favorite of the show. They look like taxidermy miniature bears. First a metal skeleton is sculpted, then wrapped with pipe cleaners to fill out a surface, then felted/sewn, then picked.

There is a special place in hell for agents of so-called democratic governments who zip tie children.

Protect people who just want to live their goddamn lives! When I was a kid, my mom dated a man who was a monster. Not to me, he was nice to me, but I didn't know what he was doing to my mom because I split time with my dad.

When a huge creative company tells you (the consumer or worker) that they have no $$ for projects, maybe they’re telling truth, but remember…I, a ding-dong armed with a pure heart & 50k Bluesky followers, manage to get new projects off the ground constantly while paying artists for their work. So.
