Let's learn about some medical research that just left Earth on Artemis II, bound for the silver sphere in the sky. It's AVATAR, but it doesn't involve blue aliens. It stands for "A Virtual Astronaut Tissue Analog Response" & it looks like this USB drive-sized device.

No kings except drag kings

Someone asked earlier if I have a favorite photo in my collection. I'm not certain but I think it might be this one. The light, her face, the way she's supporting the kitten so lovingly. It's definitely a candidate for the cover of the book I fantasize about creating someday.

Stay frosty, my friends. For it is THE DAY OF LIES. Dipshitted shenanigans abound! Foolish chicanery everywhere! Japes by those people and companies who are very bad at japes! Hide in the dark! Trust no one till the sun has set upon this stupid day!

Our Lyanna; she was a rescued feral and so didn't have a *known* birthdate, and the vet assigned April 1, 2017 as the most likely date, so we celebrate *her* instead of the all-too-common mean-spirited pranks. Happy 9th birthday, Lyanna!

GENTLEMAN JACK BALLET WHAT

Loser shit from these republicans. Stay up to date on this horrible bill.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

“Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks.” Photo not from my collection, sadly, this is from the Richland Library, S.C. localhistory.richlandlibrary.com/digital/coll...

have been in a generally grumpy mood for days and felt better today and realized it's because the sun is out and i have a large glass of water. i'm literally just a plant that's been cursed with the ability to complain.

Thanks to technology, bananas are becoming obsolete as pretend phones. The future belongs to the Pop-Tart.

We got you.

Considering that Gondor looks like a medieval polity, structurally - maybe 10th- or 11th-century France would be a reasonable comparison - Aragorn doesn't have the state capacity to have a very granular tax policy. Very likely he would have to have decentralised tax collection - i.e., tax farming.

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says. The full story: lataco.com/protest-bagp... By Julianne Le

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

In 1825, a skilled Black artisan taught a young medical student, Charles Darwin, how to preserve animal specimens via taxidermy, a skill he used in his exploration of the Galapagos. John Edmonstone was born a slave in Guyana, but freed when the family who owned him moved back to Scotland.

Current hobbies include declaring the intention to bake something and never actually baking anything, worrying about what I'll do when fascism comes to my door, and getting absolutely wrecked in matches on Magic The Gathering Arena. Also playing a lot of Fallout 4. Life feels so strange right now.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

With everything, what bothers me isn't so much that so many people are demanding to touch the stove to see that it's hot for themselves, rather than believing what they're told, it's that they're touching the stove and also holding everyone else's hand on the stove and telling us that it's not bad.

Sound on. This guy's cheerful-yet-realistic energy is best felt through your ear-holes, not via the captions.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

They only need about $5000 more to meet their goal. SURELY WE CAN DO THIS BLUESKY!

The look Fergus gives me when I touch a soda bottle. For some reason, both my cats are terrified of carbonated drinks.

Another day, another Fallout 4 settlement so structurally impossible that it'd make an engineer weep.

What are we painting today? #BobRoss

Working a 2nd job at the theater can be physically exhausting and god knows this weekend with Stranger Things was pure madness, but, sometimes, it's so worth it. Like getting to go to the prize room tonight and getting the SpiderGwen popcorn bucket. 😍

Put it back whatever it is.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Reading about Alberta Clippers & wtf Ontario who approved this

The Dragon Age:Origins companions could absolutely handle the Baldur's Gate 3 plot, but the BG3 companions would fall apart by Redcliffe if the roles were reversed.

I miss the hopeful days when the Do Not Call List meant something

Have you ever realized that you can grow your own catnip and nobody can stop you?

Fergus can't just snuggle. He must dig his way to the UnderSnuggle.
