"Nevertheless, Dawkins really has produced a searching, deep and revealing investigation of a strangely alien mind. It's a disquieting portrait that challenges us to consider how different a conscious perspective can be from our own. He forces us to confront the mind of…Richard Dawkins." INCREDIBLE

yo, chapter 2 of my Skyrim fanfic is up archiveofourown.org/works/837801...

I just participated in a research study treating fibromyalgia with ultrasound, and that worked like gangbusters, so hell yeah, let's kill viruses with ultrasound, too

I love pigeons so much

@comicsbyxan.bsky.social and I are having a lovely time at a park, eating take out bao from a little place nearby, and I pulled out some bird seed and THEY SWARMED this photo is not zoomed in at all; the pigeon with the green and purple neck is RIGHT next to my leg

I don't know what cursed combination of the content I just scrolled through that made me remember the "pussy lip sealant", but now I get to inflict it on you this is 1000% horses www.medicaldaily.com/feminine-lip...

this headline is absolute horses

no adult who picks a (very public) physical fight with an 8 year old "wins" either you let the kid beat you up or the sitting president has done a child abuse

Dawkins is the archetypical "Guy hailed as smart in one field now thinks he's smart in every field." He wrote one good pop science book (two if I'm being generous) and has been Dunning-Krugering himself ever since. He is exactly the type of guy who'd convince himself his autocorrect has feelings.

currently reading LEVIATHAN WAKES book one of the series that the show THE EXPANSE was based on. it was published in 2011 "'Anyone else think this is desperate fucking queer?' Amos asked, a touch of panic in his voice." cishet white guys in 2011 really are out there using queer to just mean weird?

okay, so I own all the books as audiobooks already, but this thread is making me want to own them all again, as physical or e-books, bc I'm having a hard time thinking of what's my favorite bit when I can't LOOK at the words

hello, I've started a longer-form Skyrim isekai fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/837801...

I'm so fucking tempted to send this to my dad, even though he's never claimed that a ghost was using my computer that he was clearly using without permission he DID say "I would never gaslight someone, whatever that means", though, so I think that counts?

We all have days like this

wow, this looks very cool

yeah, I should probably get in on this action as well

I once got accused of using secret Nazi mind control techniques because I was making a persuasive argument about the inherent goodness of the world using rhetorical devices and the other guy had only ever encountered this from Nazi recruiters.

"listen, AI is the future and if you don't learn how to master AI now, you'll be left in the dust, and have to delete your entire database and three months of backups YOURSELF"

hey, cis folks! did you know that estrogen and progesterone cause breast tissue growth, period the end? like if a cis man was to start taking the right dosage of meds, he would also grow breasts? wild, right? pass it on!

probably the Patriarchal Blessing I had to get when I was a kid it's a Mormon thing, some old dude who doesn't know you lays hands and basically fortune tells for you, and they record it and then type it up and mail the Blessing to you, and I ... still have it??? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriar...

I will never stop yelling about BIRDIE WING, the only ethical way to enjoy golf [weird] you got your golf criminals, your golf royalty, your golf telepathy, your mysterious golf illnesses, VR golf and of course your golf lesbians also that third screenshot is so fucking for real, Y'ALL watch BW

post-punk darkwave doomed yuri

reject modernity (online r*pe academy), embrace tradition (the Beit Midrash telling a man to die)

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

LOL y'all, Birdie Wing is so fucking good but also so fucking WILD, you should watch it if you haven't

If they want to block the printing of ghost guns can they also block any other type of gun too? I mean pick a lane guys. Oh no, now I need to commit another crime to do my crime.

@comicsbyxan.bsky.social and I just did an extended Snow Queen bit, where Xan explains that she doesn't like hard shell tacos bc they explode into shards when you bite into them me: then a shard of taco shell burrows into my eye and my heart & I have to go to Mexico to hang out with the Spice Queen

I transitioned out of order my journey went: start going by a new name; legally change my name; start questioning my gender; come out as nonbinary & use they/them pronouns; hysterectomy; voice training; start T; stop T; top surgery; come out as a trans man, pick a new name & use he/they pronouns...

this is reminding me of nothing so much as the bit in the Steve Harvey book that If Books Could Kill covered men just ruining their wives' hobbies bc they can't process emotions like normal people
