I'm not much of a merch guy but I want the Boimler raisins

when you let students pick their essay topics they will tell how social media sucks and smartphones suck and AI sucks and ipads in schools suck and fast fashion sucks and sports gambling sucks and structural racism sucks. and about how they want education, and healthcare, and funding for the arts.

Companies building data centers are "targeting" Indigenous communities where there is often less legal infrastructure to hold them accountable, says Krystal Two Bulls from @honortheearth.bsky.social. "Right now, we're looking at about 103 to 160 proposed hyperscale data centers on Native lands."

will I enjoy this meme? hard to know in advance but we can try!

can someone explain to me why this kind of AO3 spam exists? Like I honestly don't understand the purpose behind it

You look like the MCU design of The Hamburgler

nostalgia is remembering when you didn’t have to pay bills and attributing that feeling to mario

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

How will you celebrate #NationalLibraryWeek in your community? 1. I will continue to fight for adequate funding for our public libraries in NYC. 2. I will continue to co-plan our Library Art and Propaganda Fair happening in June. 3. I am moderating a panel about libraries on Friday.

went to the library book sale. I love the library. I love books. I love the ladies who didn't know each other but were recommending extremely sad and tragic litfic to each other. I love the books to prisoners folks who were there filling boxes. books and love and books and love.

Books books books books books books books books books books books books books books books

What a story. What a blessing she was to the fight. "At that first meeting, Dr. Long realized that the activists needed a guide who was fluent in science to help them expedite the approval of drugs to treat AIDS & the H.I.V. virus that causes it. “She was their scientific North Star." #GiftLink 🎁

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

hearts starve as well as bodies give us bread, but give us roses

I’m looking for an automated way to read others’s scientific data without giving credit or acknowledgement, and also claim full credit for insights from it. And I want it to have a fitting name OAI: say no more

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

Did I forget to post my Artemis II nails that I did last week? Oops. I did them during a live stream on my YouTube channel. Someone in chat requested I include Artemis the cat from Sailor Moon so obviously he had to go on my thumb.

Jay: we use AI to build BlueSky us: we know

Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this. This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.

always reblog a good linguistics dad joke

if Star Trek is fully-automated luxury space communism, then Star Wars is manually-operated poverty planet capitalism

NOT NOW, XANAX RECALL

Brazil has created the South Atlantic’s largest marine protected area, spanning about one million hectares. Supported by Conservation International, the reserve—roughly the size of Jamaica—aims to safeguard biodiversity, fisheries, and critical ocean ecosystems.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Holed it right there

I've started listening to the audio drama The Harbingers and it's super good so far! absolutely chef's kiss pacing

The WisCon 48 Panel Interest Survey is open, and it closes April 19th. Log into your WisCon account at the top left corner of wiscon.net and click on Interest Survey. We have topics from A.I. to Resistance in Spec fic to Fandom Today, which are you interested in? Tell us today!

The Grink helped me to survive, and I helped him. We laughed together over a fire on the beach, eating succulent fresh-caught crab, the juice of it smearing our mouths, the heat of the shells burning our fingers. When we kissed it was strange, daring, unheard of. Inevitable.

a weird belief that is held across basically all sectors of American life is that boy dollars and boy votes are better than girl dollars and girl votes and so if you have a lot of the latter you need to be constantly trying to exchange them for the former

Went to see Exit 8 today and it was pretty good! Like not astonishing but enjoyable. Remember when people just made 90 minute movies that had one idea and explored it and then they were over

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

every queer friend group has at least one of each

holes can strike at any time. take it from me

this is cool as hell. it really feels like we're seeing medical breakthrough after medical breakthrough these days.

I am a known lover of book acknowledgments, and I must say one of the most baller moves I have seen is Vanessa Len thanking each of her translators BY NAME in the acknowledgements of books 2 and 3 of her trilogy

"If you were in charge of Star Trek what would you do?" - Show about the rebuilding of Betazed post-Dominion War - Naomi Wildman Lesbian Adventures Show Guest Starring Seven of Nine - Show about musicians/comedians touring the Federation but also like, - Lower Decks - Starfleet Academy

I think every day of my life about “Real Housewives of the Federation”

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

As a trans engineer who left the space industry in order to feel safe enough to transition: oof.

The perfect way to cap off the Artemis II mission is to watch @bironic.bsky.social's Starships vid about all things space media: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTGd...

and when you throw in a "pretend relationship" tag for the dlc? whoa mamma qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Alfre Woodard as Lily Sloane in STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT (1996)

It does cheer me up lately whenever I get another piece of evidence that AI simply is not cool among the youths

Man if management @propublica.org thinks that there's a kind of person who doesn't support unions but DOES read ProPublica I think they probably have got to reconsider their worldview.

I hate that contract negotiations are not going better, but this is where we are. Today my colleagues and I @propublica.org are walking out. We need management to come to the table with more serious contract proposals that address our real concerns about discipline, job protections and fair wages.

I'm excited about #WisCon because the WisCon panel interest survey is out! also, I am disappointed and confused, because we do not need three fucking Heated Rivalry panels while the scheduling ppl also cut the cool panel idea on animated Star Trek and glommed it onto my Star Trek panel idea

they really said "they should have sent a poet"

He is risen
