The Palace of Fine Arts still stands and is a popular wedding photo and engagement destination and I don’t think we will be saying the same about any of the chintzy shit left behind by this administration.

Bluesky is both the sports app and the Catholic schism app, everything you’d need in one place

I will assert, again, that the only reason to drive a Cybertruck is to save time going door to door to tell people you’re an asshole.

there is! the fringe sect YOU want is the Synodal Way, mostly centered in Germany and Austria. they’ve gotten slapped on the wrist for performing same sex marriage ceremonies, they support women’s ordination and are pushing aggressive reforms in how sex abuse cases are handled. they’re great

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought

When I hit perimenopause, I understood stories about witches and hags and weird crones in the woods. With estrogen, I'm reasonably able to regulate my emotions and live in my body. Without it, everybody is getting a curse, becoming a toad, or cooked inside my candy house oven.

If you told me in 2001 that Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass team would become role models for positive masculinity in 2026... Anyway. Dudes Rock!

I cannot stop wheezing. BOOK

dont ever come for the king

Listen. I spent more than a decade as a theatrical technician, rigging stages, hanging lights, flying scenery, etc. The number of times I have dropped anything on a stage with performers on it is zero. The number of times I’ve dropped something that might’ve killed someone is zero. This is major.

Do you like cats? Do you like stickers? Do you like cat stickers? + frogs, bears, books, & unicorn stickers too? If so, you could get a huge sticker pack full of cats (+ friends) in the @romancingthevote.com auction! www.32auctions.com/organization... #cats #stickers #romancelandia #votingrights

I've decided to keep doing semi-regular dorky mini comics, but posting them over here under @dinosaurdanceparty.bsky.social.

I just sang @jaybeans.bsky.social a little song about cleaning the bathroom in the style of Kate Bush doing "Wuthering Heights", and I think they really enjoyed it.

Marine mammals can do whatever they want. Sorry, land losers.

Don't meet your heroes? I'll take my chances.

We have a handful of consults with Your Publishing BFF that are a steal right now--$75 for a $150 value--where you can talk about business, editing, copy editing, disability rep... and many, many others. A great chance to get advice, hone your skills, and find out more!

Never forget, people of Oakland, Piedmont is a segregation town.

This is super duper cool.

lord i remember what you did for sandwich guy

Such a great resource. Here’s a view of Berkeley.

Me, after walking half a mile in 100-degree heat:

This heat is especially dangerous for New Yorkers without air conditioning. All NYC landlords will have to provide AC to their tenants starting in 2030, thanks to our Cool Homes for All law.

It is very notable that the SSPX were initially excommunicated by JPII, who for all his many faults grew up in occupied Poland and sincerely hated Nazis, and were allowed back in by Benedict, whose relationship with the Nazi party was, shall we say, less antagonistic.

The AP, like so much of the American press, gets this wrong. The sect that Leo's attacking here isn't "traditionalist". These are fascists, and Leo is acting to break the power of fascists within the Church.

Mazey Eddings is an absolute DELIGHT, and would be great to chat with about writing romance, neurodivergent characters, her dentistry theory of why Jonny Bailey looks boyishly charming when he smiles but stern daddy when he doesn’t, etc. She‘s a great hang. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Rose Lerner is an utterly *brilliant* writer, book doctor, editor, and researcher, and also a gem of a human. This brainstorming session is a great opportunity. www.32auctions.com/organization...

the media really want to frames everything like the right-wing always has the upper hand and anyone who opposes them is on the defensive in a perilous position I think Leo is sleeping just fine tonight and is zero percent intimidated or stressed at all!

this framing does seem odd, the response (excommunicating all adherents while welcoming lay people, not priests, to return to communion) seems a lot more like the vatican firing a "you wanna go let's go" shot across the bow of other traditionalists than bunkering down in a crisis

It is the dawn of a new era. Hear our battle anthem. Welcome to the new InfoWars.

I wrote about the first lady of Netflix and whether the streaming giant can help Millie Bobby Brown move into an adult acting career.

The only downside to the @atls.city Near You feed is that I am seeing so many dicks (and the occasional man in a diaper). Beloved gays and perverts, could y'all decide on a hashtag I can mute?

Every single image from Trump’s deserted American State Fair looks like Backrooms 2: The Great Outdoors.

Look, we all saw this coming. The whole republican plan for any successful government work is to defund and otherwise sabotage it, say it doesn't work [now], strip it for parts, then sell it to their friends.

Squirrel David has landed.

Want to point out that only two hours south of D.C., here in Richmond, Virginia, they've canceled the Fourth of July fireworks show due to extreme temperatures and health risks, along with an ongoing drought our area is having

hey so what the fuck, marvel rivals?

I can’t tell if there’s one homosexual too few on Del Taco’s advertising team or one homosexual too many

"The Mayor in Jaws is STILL THE MAYOR IN JAWS 2" will never not be an accurate reflection of our electoral politics.

(for an impulse buy to change your life, might i recommend a shawl made by my beloved @hearing-girl.bsky.social? we did our best to capture its sparkle in the photos, but know that it is so much more glittery than you can see here! www.32auctions.com/organization...)

Harvey. Icon. On occasion - if you’re lucky - you jump in an elevator just before the doors close while wearing red sneakers and next thing you know you’re photographing Harvey Fierstein for your goofy little project because your shoes match. Zero percent of this is false.

Did NYC ever get their trash bins? It's a hot summer. Perfect time to not raw dog bags of trash on the sidewalk.

If you are in one of the states listed here you should maybe get this plant and attract your very own garden of oafs. I am going to have to get more oaf food again www.joyfulbutterfly.com/product/aris...

South Africa restricted sending more than about $5k US at the time, the emerald mine was probably most useful for evading that, not external sanctions.

Ever wanted a weighted blanket to your preferred specifications? Bid on this and I can make your dreams come true! The blanket in this picture is one I made for @legalcat.bsky.social’s son. @annabookwriter.bsky.social can also attest to my level of care (I finished a quilt she had started).

Friendly reminder that like this whole app is on meds that make your heat risk higher so we love that you’re hot but take a second for your pausa de hidratación so you don’t get sick

Your regular reminder that cops, in almost all instances, don't actually make us safer and are oftentimes the cause of our harm.

I feel like portraying it as a fringe theological dispute between catholic sects over the 2nd vatican council and finger pointing over who's a heretic, rather than as a conflict with a fringe far right sect that says Jews are going to hell and Muslims are rapists hides the general interest aspect.

The fact that this article from Associated Press in NPR doesn't mention that the original Lefebvrist tendency has had consistent decades long links to nazis and spreading antisemitic ideology really underplays what's gone on here.

the delight and relief when comics luminaries start a newsletter and it’s not on substack 🥲💕
