When I volunteered at a zoo as a teen I had to get the vaccine because apparently you can get Hep B from primate bites (not that I worked with nonhuman primates but I guess it was an insurance thing) Anyway there's so many layers here it's incredible

Possibly one of the best comedic actors I've seen outside of Hollywood lol youtube.com/shorts/sHdd_...

BEEP BOOP THIS IS NORA'S AUTOMATED STRETCH CHECK. today is Monday. everyone do your stretchies. 💪🤖

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

getting deeper into WH40K Lore and lmao a legion turned to Chaos because they didn't want to pay their taxes

Don't you dare put that baby in pelican mouth.

sure the government is black bagging immigrants and threatening to classify all trans people as terrorists but have you considered that marc andreesen's feelings were hurt when president biden didn't drop everything to take his call? and aren't those things equally bad if you really think about it

"he scammed me! he fucking scammed me! anyway here's a list of all his other scams i am super excited about"

Mothman statue's butt:

One thing about myself that really bother me is my relatively now habit of clenching my jaw/grinding my teeth during the day. Wish I could stop. Chewing gum helps though

When our baby was sick with flu/asthma screaming in pain & puking from inflammation in his lungs, Children’s Tylenol was the only thing that visibly made him feel better. It’s state child abuse to sow needless doubt in scared new parents that might cause them to withhold that relief from their kids

Raven and turkey vulture trails this afternoon from Sky Cam. These birds were quite far off, the photo could certainly be better but for the distances involved I think it's passable. #birds trails

My baby is out and in game now! Feel free to download the mod! #Euhelopus #pathoftitans #dinosaur

I’ve had a number of people respond to this with “actually the reliable sources are the things wikipedia cites not wikipedia itself” or something along those lines well done everyone that’s exactly the kind of pedantic nerd shit that’s kept the site alive

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

listening to one of those Warhammer novel audiobooks in the car with my partner and it’s actually pretty good??

"Go hike a volcano" is: 1. A nice variation on "get lost, jerk," AND 2. Sound recreational advice

Here's an iron clad law of the universe: Any necessary correction will always include elements of overcorrection. Because people aren't precision instruments. Reactionaries will always cherry pick isolated examples of overcorrection to try and discredit any attempts to correct injustice.

my captors are going to lose it when they see the mess i made of my feeding area 🤪

Gulf Fritillaries making more Gulf Fritillaries. Cue the Barry White 👀😂 #inverts

I just noticed the model fish in the bg looks pissed off over his depiction. Sorry buddy. The full piece drops tomorrow for EDO! #mermaid #merman #salmon #embroidery

They do this like every 12 years, I have to assume this is white people zodiac

Who is looking for grad students for next year? I have a group of highly-motivated, aspiring scientists in paleontology, evolution, and ecology who would love some leads on programs.

This is one of the reasons you never have to distinguish between straightforward "black people are inferior" racists and polite "I don't see color" racists. They just end up agreeing on kicking black people out for the most hair thin pretext

Short version: racism. Black men are more likely to have ingrown hairs from shaving so they're more likely to get exceptions in the military. Also some religions ban shaving, so it's a way to kick devout Muslim and Sikh men from the US military

Nice post you got there, it'd be a shame if I deliberately missed your point so I could be tedious about it

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Me: I love my new electric SUV, it's so fun to drive. Also me: now which white SUV is mine? 😫

i am terrified of flying (this is why most of my horror novels have some kind of plane element) and one of my favorite things is seeing a baby on a plane im on. somehow this makes me think 'okay this plane is safe we got babies' i know this is factually inaccurate but i LOVE crying babies on planes

At least they had the decency to fix Lucy.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Consider this random TikTok I found in comparison to anything on Bluesky

Sharing this really moving, beautifully written piece by Annie Lowery about her very difficult pregnancies and why no woman should be forced to endure what she has gone through. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

What gets me is “nonconsensual pornography” is a legal term that refers to a specific thing and everyone has decided it means something else and scared themselves silly. Social media sites can’t even stop actually illegal revenge porn they’re not coming for the vorarephiles.

thinking more on this, it's important to remember that bluesky's core mission is developing the protocol. the regulatory challenges that they face (such as all of the language related to the take it down act, for instance) are anti-user hurdles that they are required to surmount to not be shut down.

Ah, there it is

Pegmatite is a type of igneus rock that frequently contains large crystals of quartz, feldspar, or mica. When looked at with a longwave UV flashlight, these minerals seem to glow! Kids at our museum can see this for themselves up close and personal.

30 years in prison mininmum for anyone involved in this. Disgusting. Infuriating.

Thanks for reposting this, Faine. It’s good to remind ourselves both what Zuck is, and how some (you) were there telling us abt it early on.

new episode with @mlyp.bsky.social where he goes over the “mecha-hitler phenomenon” or where unregulated ai get corrupted by users into becoming highly reactionary
