Went to an open caption screening, the best kind! This movie inspired two Wikipedia contributions.

🚨RAMBLE ALERT🚨 Respect to people who have consistent political ideologies (e.g. Marxism, anarchism), I just can't identify with a label like that. While I know what I want from society, I don't know the best means to reach those ends! All I know for sure: we must eliminate perverse incentives.

Happy Menstrual Health Awareness Month! Today I wanna talk about the various ways we stop our vaginas from ruining our favorite pants, and why we should support @siouxsiew.bsky.social's work investigating the safety of menstrual cups 🧪 skepchick.org/2026/05/what...

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

Not generally a big fan of human children, but I looked after my cousin's 4-y.o. for a bit today (our families were picnicking at a park and she kept wandering off lmao) and I have to say that a kid approaching strangers with friendly interest is a lot easier than a dog doing the same.

If you had told me a couple years ago that Katie Porter, whiteboard queen, was shaping up to be a worse gubernatorial candidate than a billionaire, I would've pegged you as an imbecilic Bloomberg and Caruso voter.

Sorry, it's my turn to post it

As much as the phrase "just do your job" raises my hackles, oft used by people who like to abuse people in customer-facing work, it's all I can think when I get a notification that a package I ordered hasn't been delivered because there was "no access to delivery location" especially from USPS

Public interest in public transit, we love to see it!!

How do I get into pole exercise as a person who is afraid of other people?

We started the evening watching videos of/about Angine de poitrine and are now discussing (/I'm ranting and he's struggling to justify) why the musical notation system doesn't make sense

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

"fr" actually stands for "for raccoons." not many people know this

Frankly I was terrified super easily as a child, but what comes to mind is "Ernest Scared Stupid" because I kept rewatching it anyway. (Not sure why my parents kept letting me rent it again, given that every night after viewing I would have to jump into bed from the doorway)

>on bluesky >from southern California >31 years old >online alias beginning in "cold" bruh

Sooo in today's psychiatry session, I learned that there is in fact a delayed-release stimulant one can take at night so it's already working in the morning when one needs to wake up and do shit. And not only that...its spokesmodel is PARIS HILTON ICONIQUE

alt text is great, even when images are working

Husbando started watching "News Radio" and I've been wondering what the world would be like in an alternate timeline in which Joe Rogan died instead of Phil Hartman

No matter how radically leftist I get, there will always be a small part of me that's like, "Damn it's kinda nice to have charismatic politicians." Or maybe my rosy memories of being a lib teen during the Obama admin are a tumor that can be killed with chemo, idk

The world needs more subqueries.

More or less what I want to ask someone when I need to replace my clothes but don't want to undergo the trials and tribulations of garment shopping

Just realized tenor via bluesky does not offer wesley-snipes-crying-with-gun.gif. We can't have memes anymore, because of woke

Normalized everyday thing that is depressing to vegans # 305: Maybe these people don't know why chickens overproduce eggs. But no one wants someone to butt into a conversation with information about animal welfare (and I actually don't wanna be annoying)...and maybe they do know, but don't care.

White people invented racism and then immediately got jealous

The replies to this post - which is about remembering Jews who were murdered by the Nazis, and says nothing at all about Palestine or Israel - are filling me with despair.

I've been thinking about how we could implement reeducation camps for people who voted for Donald Trump. We wouldn't have to force them bc they're very easy to trick. Give them free tickets to a monster truck rally where halfway thru Grave Digger does a backflip & then sings a song about sharing

I still believe the second installment of Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert should've been titled "Deuxne." (Admittedly, I don't know how to fit "trois" into "Messiah.")

Watermelon is just crunchy, tasteless water.

And I thought waiting to get off a plane was annoying. Now I gotta find out how space travel affects astronauts' circadian rhythms, and how they reacclimate to day/night cycles

Live footage of me after overestimating my retinol tolerance:

oh ok

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

Had a dream that Trump was visiting North Korea, and while he was there, was attacked in some way. Husbando and I were watching something on TV and it was constantly overlaid with text updating on Trump's condition, which we couldn't get rid of.

Nominating Dr. @labmuffin.com for GOAT scicomm content creator

The other day I wanted to know when the last time I visited a webpage was, but was too lazy to get out my laptop to check. Now I have my laptop out and can't remember what it was I wanted to know. IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS

Anjeloma is THAT girl.

Song lyrics (the most accessible form of verse) out of context are an underappreciated form of posting. Often they're used to vaguepost/subtweet, but I tend to use them like "this song, particularly this part, is stuck in my head so now I'm sharing it."

Saw this shirt at Goodwill and, from afar, I was like "wow cool!" Then I got closer and realized it's a ripoff. Generally I'm pro-parody, but evoking Keith Haring's work in particular, without attribution, for commerce feels distasteful

He may be a failson, but he's OUR failson

My favorite genre of uplifting social media post is probably "domestic companion animal is kind to you." Obviously I'm aware that a. The pet in question does not know what social media is; b. The caption is written and posted by a human being, who also doesn't know I specifically exist. Still works

This'll have virtually no effect on trans women, who already weren't competing in the Olympics (in the more than 20 years in which trans women could participate in the Olympics, a grand total of... 1 actually made a team. She came in dead last in her event). However.... apnews.com/article/ioc-...

So many possible reaction gifs for the downfall of genAI, so little time.

There's no arguments. There's no justification. You either watch a show produced by and actively enriching the world's foremost transphobe who actively says folks consuming her media funds her worldwide transphobic efforts to fund legislation and hate, or you actually have a backbone.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

I think about 50% of news I see summarized or paraphrased here has some kind of inaccuracy in it and I don't even mean just "misinformation" by disingenuous people, I mean like well meaning people just being sloppy or excited or second or third hand quotes. Check everything even from "good guys"

Every now and then, I see an offhand statement that makes me do a double-take. WHAT DO YOU MEAN McDonald's put vaccine schedules on tray liners??? How can you say that and not show it or include a source for that information????? Not every tidbit needs a citation, but THAT sounds so odd.

Had a dream that @pookleblinky.bsky.social was canceled. Don't remember what for exactly, but I thought it was pretty innocuous. Also it was revealed that their IRL name is Ethan or something.

Father Boyle in Los Angeles started Homeboy Industries because no one in Los Angeles would hire former cholos or convicts with gang tattoos for any position whatsoever even though all of them had lower body counts than the guy running for senate in Maine if and most of them haven’t killed anyone.
