Weird how 2023 was a couple years ago but 2024 was also a couple years ago 🤔

Ladies really do love bean

The Mariners have got to stop subbing out their better bats in the middle innings trying to play matchup. The lineup turns over and in the highest leverage points you’re stuck with Rob Refsnyder facing Mason Miller. It just has to change.

You ever get so stressed out you can't read? Like your brain is so overwhelmed it just refuses to take in any more information

So do people who promptly respond to all their messages/emails just walk around *not* feeling a constant crushing guilt and dread?

Juniper Blessing singing Tom Petty’s Wildflowers at the New Mexico School For The Arts in 2024

The more we learn about Juniper the more beside myself I am. This city is supposed to be one of the very few in this wretched country that’s a haven for us to actually get to live in, to grow old in, and we failed her. I’m sick.

this is the last photo on my parents' video birdfeeder before it was mysteriously destroyed we may never know what happened

Using a big flat sink is fun, it's like a playground for my dishes

I identify as a cis woman but the way some people talk about gender makes me realize that I don't, like, have a gender or experience gender the way that a lot of people do. To me, being a woman is like being white or having brown hair, it's just a physical characteristic with social implications.

"It's called 'cloacal diving'" Sounds like biologists can't agree on whether the suckerfish do this to hide or to eat the poop.

It's starting to get warm here in Seattle, which means it's I'm-freezing-in-the-office season. 😒

Okay Version 1 (AKA The One Line) is complete! CHOO-CHOO!

Still thinking about the young reader who messaged to say that I gave her hope because I have “a beautiful butch wife and a career in woke.”

No debate needed, it's Get Low by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz.

I've led a very charmed life all things considered and I'm still often paralyzed and tortured by the small traumas and mental hangups I do have. It makes me wonder how on earth everyone gets by, and I feel like it's honestly miraculous that this world isn't even more fucked up than it is.

Johnny Depp really was a wife beater and the online campaign against Amber Heard was wildly evil.

Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

Not enough of us are yelling about how unhinged (and entertaining) the OpenAI trial is. A judge who bars Elon Musk from comparing things to the Terminator? Elon Musk getting combative with his own attorney?? A witness who, instead of saying "I don't recall," says, "it's not in my neurons"???

If I saw this on the local trail cam I would sell my house

Nice argument, but I’ve already depicted you as the forlorn, downtrodden Marco Rubio and myself as the wryly smiling Pontiff.

it is kind of darkly funny that its Americas Big Birthday and everyone is pissed off and sick of it

Actually, “Frankenstein” is the name of the novel.

I'm not a big fan of the Met Gala or anything but this thread has made me feel less crazy for being weirded out by people's reactions to it. As long as rich people exist, the least they can do is support the arts.

The danger with Dems saying "We should cut taxes" is that they start to sound just like these guys who are running everything into the ground. Parties should be distinguishable. Its ok to say "taxes are how we pay for good things and how we prevent all this from happening"

Your annual anti-Discourse reminder that the Met Gala is the source of a huge amount of the funding that the Costume Institute at the Met needs to curate and preserve its collection of American textile history

Looking forward to a podcast episode that hurts my pride even more then the Maintenance Phase episode on sugar. "I never thought they'd debunk MY pseudoscientific beliefs," sobs woman who listens to the Debunking Pseudoscientific Beliefs podcasts.

My mom's traveling to Mexico for the first time next week which is way better than any mother's day gift I was gonna give her.

Great for me that hitting 'send' on an email often feels like jumping off a cliff.

Let's normalize laying down on the floor at the office

People hate HR for being on the company's side, but that's true of every department. Are they also pissed at IT, or payroll, or the building manager for enforcing rules? Kate Manne writes that a foundational part of misogyny is that women are expected to provide care. But HR isn't your mom.

I wrote about the Olympics’ ban on trans women competing, and the stakes of the new women’s sex-testing regime for female athletes, trans and cis alike. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Girls only think about one thing and its disgusting (the interaction of british coal, empire, enduring labour rights from the black plague and the haber-bosch process)

When you check bsky and see 30+ notifications 😱 When it turns out people just like your great gif reply to something 😎

It's true. It's not the hills or the rain or the cold or the exercise, or even the time it takes. Without the constant threat of injury or death from cars, I would bike everywhere all the time.

I looked up one star reviews of the fragrance I wear and they are art

Pre-grieving doesn't help, does it

We’re the bad guys for pointing out that men often rape women AND we’re the bad guys for suggesting that not every man should be treated as a would-be rapist the second he invites a woman to drink with him or go into his room.

TFW you don't like your haircut and you just have to walk around feeling ugly 😔

the fact that he’s using it for propaganda makes me regret ever painting this

I have pretty much all my clothes clean at the same time for the first time in years. If I just stay nude I'll never have to do laundry again.

Somebody should have explained to me as a child that everyone is stupid and nothing will make sense

Good news alert 🎉🎉🎉

(Analyzing the economy can include discussing what's shitty about it, but that's not what the pointless arguing has been about.)

ding ding ding

My usual work commute includes just a short section of the Chief Sealth, but this week was treated to the longest hopscotch I've seen (this is just half of it or so). Pardon the heavy breathing, it's steep.
