if a man leaves his job, his friends, and his new romance to shack up with someone he met in his youth and drive a motorcycle, that would be called a midlife crisis - I might actually be interested in Doomsday if that’s how they played it with Captain America

all the chatters and ACLU lawyers waiting to see if Hasan gets into the country today

Public parks with numerous free activities for people of all ages are the peak of human civilization

If this is all Harrell has—accusing a group whose staff is almost entire Black, brown, and Asian of darkening his skin on a debate watch party invite because they're racist—he's doomed. Sauce so weak it's dribbling off the plate.

I tried false nails for the first time this week and I’m getting constant compliments from women and femmes, I’m addicted

being rich is such a disease omg

NEW: In an investigation for @realchangenews.bsky.social, I found that Seattle’s UCT storage program rarely returns belongings collected at sweeps to homeless people. Only 1 in 15 instances, or 7% of the time, led to property going back to its original owners. Most was disposed of after 70 days.

We didn't stop them, but we slowed them down. They got hundreds of us, but we kept them from getting hundreds more, and it wasn't violence or graffiti or insults that did the job, it was regular people getting involved. It was my neighbor the speech therapist, it was my friend the life-coach. 8/

No pictures of me lately since I stopped taking them myself. 🫠

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy.

I’ve completely failed on my gardening this summer AND I learned a lot about local orgs and farmers and plants 🥺

I’m keeping my “it finally happened” outfit ready so I can be out and celebrating within minutes of getting the call

Google's AI - I refuse to learn what it's supposed to be called - is the most annoying thing. Why am I seeing this random photo when I'm just looking at slide templates???

uhhhh

I think I get catcalled more when I’m in my depressive episodes

JUST IN: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyers say the Trump administration is trying to coerce him to plead guilty to the charges he is facing by promising to deport him to Costa Rica — and threatening to deport him to Uganda if he doesn’t. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Superman!!!! Superman!!!! HAWKGIRL AHHHHH

parenthood is both catching myself humming the song by kiddo just made up and learning that other people hate the idea of children eating lunch at school without worrying about money

incredible that the attack ad gets to start with the factual statement “my opponent resigned in disgrace”

at least three new townhouses nearby are on Airbnb right now under the same renter, it can’t be banned soon enough 😩

man I’m going to make the surrogate father figure who steps into my life and heals my abandonment issues so proud of me

one of the top three things about having a baby is plugging into the buy nothing groups. packing up our crib to send it off to its third kiddo and getting new-to-us summer clothes to refresh our warbrode.

I will never, for as long as I live, want Gemini to summarize a document and it needs to stop asking.

listened to about 2 years of voicemails that had been just sitting around on my phone, feels like the most boring form of time traveling

Reading heavy and depressing books as a kid helped me learn that terrible things were a part of life, not a divine punishment or something that I caused and could/should prevent if I was good enough/worked hard enough.

I asked someone who was an English teacher for years to proofread something and they had AI do it.

“We’re normal people. All of our ambitions and dreams are gone.”

I really firmly believe that every politician will disappoint you eventually and that none of them should be put up on any sort of pedestal that doesn't have bazookas pointed at it, but the dems are fucking fools for not embracing this dude, for not using his campaign as a blueprint for the future

I can’t explain it but I also don’t feel the need to defend it. I can guarantee it would be a unique experience. Enough (2002) and Magic Mike XXL (2015)

the “female gaze” discourse inevitably hits this point where it’s like, “women don’t muscles, you fool, they are only aroused by the scent of lavender on a spring day”

old enough that silly things my mom got me, like a little snoopy music box, are now incredibly precious. a generic souvenir now embued with decades of love.

there’s got to be a cooler name for perimenopause. “around menopause” is the best we can do??

Is the gender neutral alternative for tía/tío simply tíe? Is there another Spanish word entirely I could use for that honorific?

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to place orders on @sidequestcosmetics.com if you want them to arrive before #SDCC day zero! Equip THE ADVENTURER'S INVENTORY and get ready to have a refreshing Comic-Con weekend! Peppermint Paladin, Lavender Cleric, and Citrus Rogue await! sidequestcosmetics.com

was trying to name a song released in 2006 and only managed to do it by remember which season of Degrassi was airing and reading one of my old tumblr reviews of an episode. this is how I cyborg.

once you remember/realize that we’re really designed to *connect* with each other, the way other animals fly or swim, everything makes a lot more sense

Actually ya know what, I’d love to do a birthday giveaway 🤭🫶🏼 To enter: follow me, repost this, and comment below a Spotify or YouTube playlist for your character + a one line description for them Based mostly on the playlist, I’ll make a character design based off the vibes 🙂‍↕️

now why would the website that we use to make graphics for linkedin do all this

“The question is whether we’re willing to do something imperfect now while working toward something better later.”

what I assume is odd localization combined with haphazard writing gives love and deepspace this disjointed quality that seems perfect for modern fandom-

I might buy a skimpy bikini for the first time in my life because I really want to show off this c-section scar. It just looks so cool 🤩

We have a whole new layer of distracted driving now, too. I bet I could open tiktok right now and, within minutes, find someone who recorded their video while driving, maybe even using one hand to hold the phone up while looking at themselves in the screen. 😬

the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man vibes are off the charts

i am all for having enemies. but friends, our enemies are the ppl w power to build concentration camps, ppl w private jets funded by stealing our water for AI, ppl w real power or deep commitment to harm. not ppl who spent 5 mins voting for someone in a disastrous info environment & no good choices

Dear #horrorsky, #queersky, #authorsky & #latinsky, here's an opportunity to help one of your own in getting her creative, intersectional, heart-forward community space back on its feet after a run of getting kicked in the teeth repeatedly. (It's me, full disclosure, this is my tea company.)

I'm attending Wilson for Seattle's event, “Onboarding Zoom Call for Wilson for Seattle” - sign up now to join me! #wilsonforseattle www.mobilize.us/wilsonforsea...

the success of kpop demon hunters should motivate studios to back new creators telling their own stories rooted in their passions BUT it will actually result in everyone dusting off the weirdest cynical parts of Seraphine in KD/A and shoving that into an AI gruel printing machine

People think that because these companies make $$$$$, they must be right. But like, how many orgs modeled after big tech’s hiring practices just for the research to prove how silly/inefficient/biased it was?
