I'm still on Facebook and every so often I'll share something like this. It's an unspoken message about potentially interacting with me, in the same way a poison dart frog's bright skin lets other animals know interacting with it will probably kill them.

So tired of so many “solutions” out there merely being because people are too lazy to read and then think critically.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Men will gatekeep women from any and all physical or virtual third spaces (hell, SECOND spaces, too; look at workplaces) and then wonder why none of them want to spend time around or with them

“More than half of the work done by women in the period between the 16th and 18th centuries took place outside of the home, and around half of all housework and three-quarters of care work was conducted professionally for other households” [England] phys.org/news/2025-10...

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

this is… i… i think sarah’s article has genuinely unlocked all of 2025

You know we make fun of Sun Tzu for stating the obvious but clearly some people need to be told these things

THE VIRTUOUS GENERAL ENCOURAGES HIS TROOPS AND DOES NOT OPPRESS THEM

The true overperformer of Tron: Ares is Cameron Monaghan’s agent

Blessed are the amphibians for they will be called children of god. Blessed are those who are persecuted for their cuteness for theirs is the Kingdom of Portland.

This. Immigrants are awesome, and I wish we weren’t so afraid to say it.

Cultivate a couple of hobbies. Ideally, things that have nothing to do with your day job and that bring you joy, even if you're not great at them.

I should get a bottle of bubbles when I go on meetups for work and bring them outside when colleagues go out to smoke. (I will join them outside a restaurant or whatever but not smoke because imo that’s better than making them go do so alone.)

The websites asking you to turn off your adblocker sound like forest spirits asking you to break the salt circle around your cabin. You can trust these spirits, they're not going to steal your body! Come on!

I think it should be socially and legally acceptable to smack these clean off somebody's face if they're filming you against your will

ICE had no idea what they were getting into in Portland.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

When I worked on social features for online games, my favorite test for whether we were taking player safety into account was the "Ex-boyfriend Test", as in: If I was your ex-boyfriend, how would I use this feature to make your life miserable?

I'm heading into the weekend with the same energy as this Raphael sign from Pizza Hut in 1990

What’s a good place in the Seattle area to get a kickass sandwich?

oh no

"what you fail to see, Mr Pope,"

also very important: things happen in movies so the story can continue there's a reason why someone is going into the scary basement alone--because if they just sat in the well-lit room, nothing would happen

The word “slop” went from zero to overused in record time.

One more runback with nature’s most perfect food.

Japanese baseball makes American baseball fans look like they actively hate the game, the players, the experience, and each other. Also the very idea of tearing down Meiji Jingu Stadium should be a crime.

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

FamilyMart has the best convenience store pork bun.

Someone in Tokyo is trying to bring back wallet chains and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

For the next thirty minutes, most is right in my world.
