Very probably the best photo I've ever taken of a 16th Century dovecote with a cow standing in front of it, surrounded by buttercups, looking like she has just dropped a debut album she is thoroughly proud of.

They're called therapists because "baggage handler" was already taken.

always the bridesmaid, never the sea hag luring sailors to a watery grave

Public transit without HEPA filters and/or mask mandates isn't really public now is it? I would give up my car in a heartbeat if there was a safer alternative.

there are no cats in germany because they have nein lives wait don’t hang up

What’s the best place to find free full text research papers that aren’t too full of advanced math and science? it’s for using to teach adults to read dense material, so the topic doesn’t really matter it just should be mostly words you only need to be a good reader to understand, not an MD/PhD

Okay anyone who finds the Sea Peoples (they're the folks who raided a lot of ancient civilisations, weren't they?) annoying DESERVES to be charged money to support the arts and culture

Everyone who finds me annoying should chip in to give me a basic income so I can go be a hermit and write my books

you know that feels so goood

For just 50 cents a day you can throw a roll of pennies at Keith in accounting

We have succeeded in making people wary of vaccines, terrified of masks, unable to tell what illness they have, and completely uninformed about the risks of it. Bravo. Command fucking performance.

This poor person could be at the beginning of a lifelong disability like mine, or is at least getting warning signs to not keep getting infections, and they have absolutely no idea.

This enrages me. We have a novel virus with completely unknown long-term effects and very dangerous short and medium term effects, and an antiviral that can reduce some of these risks, and people cannot even figure out how to test for it anymore.

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

Shhhh baby is sleeping 💖

All her life she had looked into dark; but this was a vaster darkness, this night on the ocean. There was no end to it. There was no roof. It went out beyond the stars.

We also made my grandparents focaccia

So my grandma and grandpa are both in rough shape (though Grandma is worse right now) so we made them a lasagna. My grandpa can't make a sandwich so in case he's in charge of dinner we included VERY SPECIFIC instructions

I feel like a politician working with a foreign nation to separate Alberta from Canada after that nation threatened to annex Canada and make us a 51st state should be treated as the treason it is.

Lifer today! Cape May Warbler!! 🪶

because what's happening IS insane we just need cis people to pay attention i sometimes wonder if part of it stems from the fundamental misunderstanding that forcing us to detransition is a fate worse than death like most cis people think "oh they'll just turn back then, that sucks" i guess"

The AI slop bubble can pop Any Fucking Time

So my current WIP is a little thin on the ground a la world building details which means this week is LORE WEEK (I'm so stoked!! 🎉)

no piece of paper should be able to take from you the right to talk about harm done to you no matter how many lawyers looked it over

Feast!

By the way, We'll be giving out at least two more disability zine microgrants this June-July. US only (sorry) and more info soon.

Which one of u did this

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

When Musk took over Twitter & made blue ticks paid, I called it blue tick syndrome. A lotta folks were convinced that the blue tick would confer authority on them. I’m convinced there are a non-trivial number of folks seeking doctorates for the same reason, and don’t want to do the actual work.

Just finished reading my 22nd book of 2026 (Lucky Day by @chucktingle.bsky.social ) and it is FANTASTIC! The descriptions are visceral, the plot is engaging, and the characters were *chef's kiss* It is a tad gory in parts though, so beware the faint of heart or weak of stomach. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Edits done and food consumed which gives me just enough time to do my workout (recumbent bike, which means I can read at the same time) and shower before my meeting

Fellow Canadians! The US can no longer be considered a safe third country. We need to stop returning anyone making a refugee claim in Canada to the US.

As family homelessness hits record highs, school districts are offering parking lots as safe sites for students and their families to sleep at night

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

jerry: no!

Like insisting on reopening. Like telling people they could vax and relax. Like telling a young girl that she didn’t have to worry about getting COVID at school and infecting her family. The list is long and depressing.

Doing stupid exercise to keep my stupid meat sack healthy

This artwork is titled "Road Trip" by Canadian painter Rebecca Aldernet. Aldernet is based in Atlantic Canada and creates figurative art often featuring solitary figures, birds, and quiet landscapes.

making a little scuba suit for my hamster so he can make friends with the fish

anyone got a good artist in nyc who would do a neck piece for me?

Watching Widows Bay and eating pizza and wine is a pretty great covid-safe date night imo 💖

We rarely need to fill up on gas (one of the benefits of being a hermit. Thanks covid) but we just did and 😬😬😬
