My 4 year old niece has two great loves right now: Toy Story and The Secret of Nim. I was just told by her mom that she insisted tonight that Bo Peep and Nicodemus are "boyfriend and girlfriend." She's clearly a sick freak and I'm so proud of her, look forward to her contribution to Yuletide 2042.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

There’s something special about offering your heart and devotion to an animal in our care when we know full well that there will eventually be heartbreak when they go. The pain of their absence at the end of their life is only evident because of how special they are. It was worth it just to know you

This early birthday present from @dothenextthing.bsky.social is making all my mornings better.

You think the worst things can get is a teen crush but in reality the most humiliating thing is being an adult who wants another adult to be your friend.

Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is [email protected] in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

hey does anyone have any hot tips for how to stop being incandescently enraged to the point where it’s not productive or healthy

The Wound That Woke the Kraken, #OFMD fanart, one of my favourite pieces and I think the only one I've ever named 🤔 Busily working on NDA things so pardon the reposts! ❤️

Ice sucks! Help me raise money for good things. 1. Donate to an immigrant rights org like www.ilcm.org 2. Send me a picture of the receipt. Every $5 is an entry. I knit these mittens and I will draw a name on 1/17/26 and send these to the winner. We’ve already raised $165! Can we make it to $300?

HE’S STILL GOING, FOLKS

CW self harm, mental health, suicide attempt - A cab driver picked me & my partner up after she revealed a pretty devastating chest wound. He knew we were going to the psych ward and he spoke to her the entire ride -so calm, so kind, distracting little things to make her laugh. 1/2

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Happy “Brick” by Ben Folds Five Day to all who celebrate

immense gratitude for all the folks involved in creating heated rivalry. they didn't hide, they didn't water down, they didn't try to play to a wider audience, they didn't let shame or puritanism get in the way of the story they were trying to tell. infinite respect. #heatedrivalry

Murderbot is checking the perimeter. Ilya and Shane are going to the cottage. Even in the darkest times, our imaginations create places for love and safety.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Important news for the Bluesky userbase (37-year-olds who went to the free Prospect Park shows every summer): Wolf Parade has the No. 1 song on Spotify right now because it's in the gay hockey movie.

Holiday drag show look!

HOW ARE WE FEELING HOCKEY FANS #heatedrivalry

This story lit my hair on fire! Perfectly sexy, perfectly in character, a must-read!

Y/N

fun fact, the first time I ever tried drawing anything seriously as an adult was on 12/29/24, so this project brought me full circle almost the full year. SO PROUD OF IT. AND YOU. AND ALL OF US. AND ED AND STEDE.

Love leaves a mark. Or a letter. Or 269 frames. I will always and forever feel privileged to be part of this ship.

A VERSION OF THIS FIC IS IN MY WIPS (wellllll Ed is Yukon Cornelius and Lucius is the snowman but you get the vision)

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

You can help dogs from the shelter with just a click! Once the bone icon will reach 100% every dog will get 20kg of food from the sponsor! You can click every day from 8-17 DEC <3 nakarmpsa.olx.pl

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Such a good article!

I usually like to pull a quote from an article to share when I share the link, but I honestly cannot pull just one from this one

Why is sex-as-punishment or sex-as-suffering elevated as art, but as soon as you see characters having sex for the pure pleasure of it, it's immediately dismissed? Why do we have so many graphic depictions of sexual assault and sexual trauma and so very few of sexual fulfillment? Rly makes u think

@ericavee.bsky.social do you think they’d take a music video? 💅💍👑

Shorten the tests! Extra time is great and necessary in some case but why should a student with slower processing, written out put challenges etc. have to stay afterschool, over recess, take materials home when their peers are using that time to play and recharge? The option of extra time means --

Screaming crying rending my garments!!!

She's here! My 3:10 to Yuma AU with @intheblanketfort.bsky.social for the OFMD Big Bang is posted for your pleasure. Good horses! Sharp-shooting! Happy endings that fly in the face of the source material! Link below. The art is truly next level and this is about to become a Caly appreciation blog.

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

Possibly the first protest of its kind at City Hall this morning. A diaper change-in protesting budget cuts and fee increases to amenities for new parents, and many others. @womentcities.bsky.social

Just started this and it is a DELIGHT

Reskeet with a time you looked cool. “cool” is debatable, but this recent drag look made me feel a little bit of the ol’ gender.
