With today’s third Rocky statue being installed in Philly, there are almost as many Rocky statues as there are monuments to actual historic women anywhere in Philadelphia. www.associationforpublicart.org/apa-now/stor...

Star Trek is always so relatable. I’m human and I also don’t have any money…

the fairies are rooting for you~

The drinking water fandom is dying. Like and share if you're still sipping that clear stuff in 2025

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

We're primarying John Fetterman. Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians. We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

This was never the idea

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

I want Oscar Isaac to play a different version of the Victor Frankenstein character every three years for the rest of his life

Fittingly, was just writing about how Sea has really been the leader in articulating the idea of a dramaturg in Actual Play, & @transplanarrpg.bsky.social project as a whole resolutely insists on its vision, in a Bowie style (or at least that’s the intertext on my mind — there are others)

Being a fantasy writer is typing "they extended an olive branch" and then going "shit, do they even have olives in this world?"

I WISH HE’D LEAVE - - - I’VE BEEN HINTING FOR HOURS

THIS IS WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU

we’ve got about two years until our evil Philly mayor’s term is up btw

Good morning. I don't know who did this, but I love you.

Fight back against MAGA’s starvation campaign by helping a fellow Philadelphian in need. Thank you #Philabundance

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Following Ada's lead, I'd like to do the same. Reply to me w/ a receipt of a donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll also match your donations, up to $500. 🍎🍌🥬🍞🥩❤️

imagine explaining a $1.3 million bill for medical care to somebody who lives in a country where people aren't required to do things like ration their insulin. ACA being better than what we had before is a different statement than saying it is a good and durable health care policy regime

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

i love this city, pt. 1

We're also thrilled to announce that thanks to support from our readers, we are partnering with Bitch Media to republish selected classic posts from their archives that will never be behind a paywall, because we believe in preserving feminist media for future generations to enjoy.

most people don't want politics that hurt other people. we just want a long overcoat like david bowie and affordable housing

I want to remind everyone that "cringe" as an insult emerged from the same sort of anti-social Internet culture that 4chan emerged and we should reject it as an insult.

No kings. Only frogs.

Great news: you can now purchase the truly incredible video game 1000xResist several more times

Repostin' The Autumnal. Manifesting my seasonal mood.

A: Sigh. B: I feel like most of us had maybe 10 numbers memorized - our closest family and friends. Everyone else you kept written down somewhere. The thing is, if you wanted to communicate with the people you cared about most, you had to call them. So yeah, you remembered those specific numbers.

Misty walk along the North Yorkshire coast. 📸

sure, i'll share.

Pyaari is so decent 🥺

I make breakfast. I power up my PC to log on on to write video games. The president says he wants to unleash the military to kill U.S. citizens on American soil. I respond to a few emails. Gotta take inventory of what still needs signoff before script lock on Friday.

Fuck. Please call your reps. People need Telehealth to survive. Especially disabled people.

I cannot even express how tremendously bad this is going to be for EA specifically and for gaming in general.

Be the cringe you wish to see in the world

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

The thing everyone can do right now is to find your lane if you don't already have one and work that lane diligently and with commitment.

Hello Friends. I am ecstatic to announce that I have reacquired the entire Spontaneanation catalogue and effective immediately you can find every episode wherever you get your podcasts. Don’t get drunk and fight each other.

yes.

i am once again asking if you know that if you routinely sing to a cat while they're curled up on your chest they will learn that singing means cuddle time and come trotting over from wherever they are when you do. it's important that we get this message out to those who need it most

me and who
