I had totally forgotten about this, and now I want to write it all over again. Marvel, call me! (Atlantis: Import/Export regulations? Wakanda: covert no-strings-attached foreign aid to neighboring democratic countries? Goods from the Seven Cities of Heaven: contraband? etc).

Do you know Brian Patten, one of the Mersey poets who wrote this in 1967?

oh my god I would start giving them money again

Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If you’re a scholar, check for your books too. This isn’t just novelists and pop writers, it’s academic books too!

Last saved meme is your moral philosophy? @muzucthulhu.bsky.social look out

A simple scene from a remote black sand beach in Iceland.

Yeah... Ferris Wheel Press joining Noodlers and Goulet on the Friends don't let friends... shelf.

Popping in to Bluesky on this fine morning to say that "fountain pen drama" that so many people are referencing relates to Ferris Wheel Press (FWP). Countless people asked for comments on their JKR collab, founder ignored all questions wrt the LGBTQIA+ community. (mini-thread)

Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades? Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event. Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

Heeey, Artist! Quote with your strong woman art!💪

From the rooftops

When you've lost *checks notes again* Chris Cillizza

Great news, everybody! The ACA is materially undermined, no concessions were secured on any other front, and Donald Trump will be able to declare this a personal win. But poor people did starve for about a week there, so there's that.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

“This out gay man who was sixteen years old and living in Indiana when Matthew Shepard was murdered used to wish he could be straight. This proves that he is homophobic.” Do these people hear themselves?

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

Immigration-related xenophobia has a much broader and more active constituency in America than transphobia does

The majority of US voters, so far as I can tell, flatly do not care about trans people one way or another. They aren't necessarily especially friendly to them, but they clearly find the notion that they're supposed to obsess over them distinctly offputting. (Despite major efforts by the right!)

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!

As someone who very much feels Israel has a right to exist, I absolutely cannot support this kind of terror. People should not feel they must walk on eggshells in their own country because another country can reach out and attack specific individuals for exercising their God-given freedoms.

15 percent of American homes lacked indoor plumbing in 1960. The idea that everyone in 1955 America lived in a split-level suburban home with two cars and three kids and one income is, quite simply, a fantasy borne of media consumption.

So now let’s fund Amtrak like we fund air travel!!

The same dudes who fetishize the supposed lost strength and competence of their forefathers want computers to write their emails for them.

That's another side-effect of this display. It keeps the focus on healthcare. And the Dems have been pretty successful at this throughout the shutdown. The GOP keeps trying and failing to change the narrative on this, and today is one more failure.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name He did this six times Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

Well, that’s one way to take a bull by its horn.

We’re on the right track! Make sure you track your ballot to confirm it is accepted, NOT challenged. Check our links in bio to do so! More votes will be counted on Monday!

One last note about Watson, Crick, and Franklin: when Watson, Crick, and Wilkins stole her photographs, FRANKLIN was a PhD with a student of her own. Crick was a grad student. Watson was a pretty newly minted PhD (1950). Far too many people don’t know it was DOCTOR Franklin.

A few people have asked, so here's her obituary. www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/r...

It BOGGLES THE MIND that there are Democratic senators considering caving to the GOP, who will then have ALL the leverage AND increase our insurance premiums for funsies HOLD. THE. LINE. SENATORS: Kelly—AZ Slotkin—MI Peters—MI Ossoff—GA Coons-DE Cortez Mason—DE Rosen—NV Shaheen—NH Hassan—NH King-ME

suicidal depression from last year has returned to me. my GF knew i'd struggled w/ideation. she helped me check into inpatient last year, waited for me during it. why didn't she tell me she was struggling w/it too? now she's committed it and is gone, i'm left behind, all i want is to join her

Rochester NY pizza joint Pizza Wizard decided to feed the community yesterday by put up coupons for a free cheese if needed - people w/ money could buy one forward for $5. listed in their social media & put it in online order form. in one day they sold 1719. fuck yeah #Rochester

The 2024 election was not a binding referendum on American culture that everyone must accept and accommodate. Never was.

i will never vote for Gavin Newsom. i want every other politician to look at how badly Newsom destroyed his own political career by pivoting to fascism & see it as a clear warning that the dignity of marginalized people is not negotiable.

the mismatch of celebrating Democratic political wins with the romancelandians online while working to plan a funeral in a room offline has been. wild.

i’m taking this as a sign that the powers that be at the olde dnc hq have ritualistically devoured chuck schumer.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

"hope over tyranny "hope over big money and small ideas "hope over despair "no longer would politics would be something that is done to us. now it would be something that WE DO"

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Terrible scenes just minutes into the new socialist regime in New York as literally hundreds of billionaires discover mamdani already living rent free in their heads

It's been a half hour since the AP called it for Mamdani and already I see some people wringing their hands about how the cards are stacked against him, and to them I say, my friends, learn to enjoy a fucking moment, they didn't come around near enough, the man of the hour is partying, take the hint

tapping the 65 million dollar sign and blowing kisses at the transsexuals of new york.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.
