My mom once yelled at Steve Ballmer at my dad’s Harvard reunion dinner until Ballmer got embarrassed and left. We should all treat billionaires like that.

The Girlfriend Survives is a twist on the superhero trope where our heroine is that girl who, in other stories, would have been sacrificed to the plot. Sure, she's the superhero's barista girlfriend, but you're about to discover that she's a lot more. zoop.gg/c/slay

If you’re looking for a fucked up love story this Valentine’s Day, may I recommend “On Sunday she Picked Flowers” by Yah Yah Scholfield? diversityhorror.com/2025/12/28/o...

They just let go the head of spiritual care where I work and I’m devastated. She’s an amazing queer woman who made people feel safe and wasn’t afraid to do what’s right. I suspect they fired her because she was openly anti-ICE and spoke out against transphobic laws. Such bullshit.

🚨 @sharai.bsky.social pays homage to Marlene Clark, a Blaxploitation era Scream Queen that deserves a well-earned space in horror’s collective memory. 👻 📽️ #NightTideMag nighttidemag.com/2026/02/12/m...

I had a lovely birthday. My boss decorated my office as a surprise and one of the providers ordered me fancy cupcakes. Then I went out to dinner to a nice restaurant with my wife and my mom, and we watched “The Thing” afterward (one of my favorite movies). My mom was very concerned about the dog.

I came into work today to discover my manager had decorated my office for my birthday. 💜 There was also a gift and fancy cupcakes waiting for me. I love working here!

We had an autistic teenage girl hiding in our waiting room on the verge of a meltdown and her dad kept grabbing her and yelling at her. Thankfully our nurse is amazing and she went out and got everyone to chill out. The girl immediately took to our nurse and snuggled up to her.

there’s a verified ICE report in East Somerville this morning, neighbors. y’all have the LUCE number in your phones, right? maybe donate if you can, I just made mine recurring www.lucemass.org/donate

Aramis got all ready for the halftime show only to discover it was a DIFFERENT Bad Bunny who was performing.

Reminder: In light of Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance spotlighting Latino culture, here's a hefty list of Latino speculative fiction authors I curated if anyone wants to take a gander and read some phenomenal work. Much love to all! go.bsky.app/6BAmgpi

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

This is like the 3rd time I’ve had to tell someone at the hospital not to use the r-slur. Once I even had to tell the freaking president of the hospital not to say that (as a lowly admin). What is going on?!? I hadn’t heard anyone use it in years and now it seems to be making a comeback.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

My wife and I both woke up around nine this morning, and we were going to get, but we had three purring kitties in bed with us so we were forced to sleep until noon.

Got told at work that my communication style is “too direct.” Like, I’m sorry I like clear communication to avoid mistakes? I’m not blunt or rude either so I’m failing to see the issue.

This is our statewide hotline in MAINE. 207.544.9989 Text is great for non-urgent sightings SALUTE protocol is highly encouraged

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

A Hispanic gay man came into our clinic for his appointment and started telling me how much he loved Trump. Thank god I was wearing my mask because I can not control my face. I told him this wasn’t the place to discuss politics and he took that as a sign to KEEP talking and ask me my opinion. 😭

Since I couldn’t skip work today (what with working with high risk patients and all) I’m donating to organizations both locally and in Minnesota.

My youngest brother will not stop spamming me with frog videos 😭

We’re watching the Stargate movie and my wife is giving me an indepth run down of the TV series and all the lore. This is why we’re married.

If you’ve been thinking to yourself “man, I really want to help people in Minneapolis, but I also some some cookies, AND I’d also like to help out trans, neurodiverse, and BIPOC youth“ boy oh boy do I have some good news for you! digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop5...

We are not immune to what’s happening in Minnesota — and all across this nation. As 🧊 continues to terrorize and target the most vulnerable among us, we're grateful for the indie bookstores in Minnesota that have shown up for their communities, providing support & resources to Minnesotans in need.
