I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

L'Shanah Tovah! (לְשָׁנָה טוֹבָה) Apple & Cranberry pie.

I just want to take a moment to appreciate the serendipitously perfect timing for the release of Knights of Guinevere. Couldn't have picked a better release week if they had a crystal ball.

This is how we heal from AI art.

If astrology isn't real, then explain this!

Every day is asking too much from me

My go-to time management tool? Anxiety.

I find political debates (for elections) tedious and largely unhelpful. Politicians should instead have to submit themselves to a Ziwe interview before being allowed on the ballot.

Aqua did it better.

Finally, after like almost 30 years, finished Revolutionary Girl Utena.

There is absolutely nothing in the NT about whether or not Jesus associated himself with a particular school of Jewish thought. His cousin, John the Baptist, was an Essene, and some of Jesus' mysticism and asceticism is very Essene-esque. But he was almost definitely educated as a Pharisee.

me too if a moth goes in my loft at night me too me too

Pete Buttigieg threw the first polite handshake at Stonewall.

Morning mood.

Watching people react to drowned kids with callous glee because they died in a "Red State" makes me never want to leave the South, tbh. The idea of being surrounded by people who can only see my humanity because I was able to relocate feels like a lateral move, at best.

Thinking about the Cave of Hands, some of the art dating back to 7,300BC, where 25% of the hand prints are thought to be that of children. Imagining those people gently holding their child up to the cave walls, and using their tiny little hands as a stencil. Art = love = the human soul

I've picked up FF7 Remake again this past week, and I need to know where I can find the Wegovy materia because this Fat Chocobo is really pissing me the fuck off.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn't a selfie. (I couldn't pick between these two [see: Gemini], so I didn't. I bring nothing if not diptych energy)

Okay, Duo, but both of these are valid correct responses.

It’s-a me, Patio!

I'm not opposed, I'm just curious how they plan to enforce. Is there gonna be a quiz like when the teacher wanted to make sure you did the reading in high school? Also, kinda surprised how many folks in the comments didn't know this wasn't a requirement already.

Well. Huh. That...that was a hell of a season ending, Wheel of Time. Not sure how I feel about it. However, this season has been overall incredible. This show deserves to see this turning of the Wheel to its conclusion. Hashtag "Renew WoT", or whatever the inevitable fan campaign winds up being.

I can't get past the accompanying picture for the article. I mean, how big of a fucking loser do you have to be that the only way to secure a partner is to travel back to 1657 and kidnap a woman who is clearly your great-great-great-etc. grandmother? Like, what in the inverted Kate & Leopold hell?

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

With so much terrible news going around, I thought it might be nice to share more terrible news, but of a personal, inconsequential nature: Ate too much Sichuan Chili Crisp last night and now I'm waiting for my stomach to settle before I can take a shower & go to work. Worth it.

Huh, I'm blocked by two people on here already. No idea who either of them are or why they'd have blocked me. Not mad or anything, just surprised. Honestly, good for them, doing what they need to for their own peace 💖
