when you live in the country, every so often a neighbor down the way will use a bewildering power tool after dark and you just spend several porch sits listening to it and imagining what on god's fucking green earth they could possibly be doing with their flashlight and a dream

having a complete fucking breakdown and throwing a table across the room because the fucking del Toro Frankenstein movie ends in a quote by LORD FUCKING BYRON AND NOT MARY!!!!! I am going to punch a hole in the wall. I am going to pick up a car with my bare hands and rip the doors off with my teeth

I want to hear about the foods you enjoy that are gross to other people! pretty please take this tiny survey, thank you, I love you forms.gle/fih5D5RGMT2u...

I can’t wait to see what Leigh will do with this topic. Their earlier articles which touched upon the topic of disgust are giving me high hopes. I have no doubt that “Gross” will go down as one of the most interesting and most twisted science books of all. 4/4

Leigh’s prior book “Hurts So Good” is a masterful exploration of pain on purpose. It’s one of the most fascinating and insightful things you’ll ever read (I was lucky enough to consult on the pain science in the book). 3/4

I’ve been calling Leigh the best science writer in the world for many years. The reason for this is that they’re absolutely meticulous about the scientific details, and at the same time their writing is incredibly emotive. If Leigh wants you to feel something, you *will* feel it. 2/4

FRIENDS! FRIENDS! There was a book deal announced today, and it’s a big one. The one and only @voraciousbrain.bsky.social will be writing a book on the science of disgust. Here’s why I’m extremely excited about this: 1/4

I welcome you to the fight, the text is rich! I always assumed that lumps = titties humps = ass hump = Fergie is a dromedary camel

the thing I fight about most often with my partner of ten years, in case you're curious: the specific lyrics of "my humps" and what they mean anatomically-speaking

in news I never ever EVER thought I'd be sharing: despite the 18 years that have passed since ballet nearly killed me and I had to quit, and after more therapy than I could possibly even begin to describe--I started dancing again. things are so hard but this? oh man. I missed my heart 😭😭😭😭

hi! if you are one of my friends, please say hi when you follow me, so I see you and can follow back. l don't wanna miss you 💕 picture of Carol with his tiddies out for tax

Stop saying "nonconsensual BDSM" It's not nonconsensual bank transfers, it's robbery. It's not nonconsensual boxing, it's assault. It's not nonconsensual coming over to hang out, it's breaking and entering. It's not nonconsensual body modification, that's a class C felony.

your exquisitely sensitive asshole can differentiate between the three most well-known states of matter, babe just get the bidet

perfect last minute gift idea: a science book about masochism that will make you squirm, laugh, cry, drool, giggle, snort, shriek, and do a big gay sigh with your hand over your heart 💝 "Hurts So Good" has all that and a blurb from THE @edyong209.bsky.social!! you cannot miss!

Some of my favorite discussion of this intersection is in @voraciousbrain.bsky.social’s book Hurts So Good. Especially love how many of the athletes get offended by the suggestion that they’re doing masochism. Honey, you’re an ultramarathoner! Ofc you are!

For the longest time, I’ve been trying to write something on what the sports world can learn from kink communities—I think it’s time to start it. Sports 🤝 BDSM.

Very much enjoyed reading @voraciousbrain.bsky.social's Hurts So Good: The Science & Culture of Pain on Purpose.

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.

incredible letter from unca chemistry professor Dr. Sally Wasileski regarding the lead issue in Asheville and what to do next. really grateful for how detailed it is mountainx.com/blogwire/che...

bad news: rebound covid :( good news: WATER IS BACK! I live in an old house so I still gotta do some lead stuff before we drink it BUT we can BATHE & WASH THINGS and i just feel like well, if I have to be sick again, at least I can stand the shower about it 🥲 hot soapy water forever and ever amen

In 2015, I did a series called "Revival of the Sickest" where I covered the resurgence of diseases due to arrogance, bad policy, and anti-vaccine bullshit. In light of everything, here's the measles one. How much do you really know about one of humanity's greatest foes? medium.com/matter/measl...

"A person who rejects empirical knowledge, who refuses the answers that exist while requesting ones more to their liking that flatter their preference for unfounded contrarian gibberish and conspiratorial paranoia, is not a skeptic."
