i hate attachments. seeing this in my email is what led me to buddhism

Annette going viral on Bluesky is as close as I ever get to the hot flame of fame

Good morning! May your actions today be guided by kindness and empathy, and may you find a way to contribute to a world that lifts everyone up. Let's make some good trouble!

It's still wild to me how much we've memory holed Occupy Wallstreet.

Starbucks workers this Thursday 11/13 are starting a long strike to win a first union contract *** NOBODY SHOULD BUY ANYTHING FROM STARBUCKS AS LONG AS WORKERS ARE STRIKING ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY*** Consumer boycotts are very powerful when combined with workplace militancy

solving the male lonliness crisis by inviting random people over to help me use the postholer

thats nuts

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a beaver when the dam is tall and the Beaver Moon is bright.

Was honored to help @chana.bsky.social edit this deep dive compilation of Curtis Sliwa lore gathered over weeks. There is so much jaw-dropping material, we simply could not bear to make it shorter than 76 slides.

Feel like, as a society, we might consider moving Halloween to the last Friday in October (observed.) Vibes truly immaculate tonight.

Absolutely this. I remember reading once somewhere that the "marshmallow test" didn't actually show what people said it showed, but rather it correlated with a) poverty and b) kids whose adult authority figures lied to them. They took it now because they had no reason to believe they'd get a second.

A reminder that the original Hallowe'en jack o' lanterns date back to 18th century Ireland if not earlier, were based on a shady boozy blacksmith called Stingy Jack who cheated the devil & was trapped between 2 worlds, were carved from turnips and looked like this:

Do you ever wish you were a snake so you could peel off your entire skin

🏳️‍⚧️ Our friends in LA just carried out a kit building day for HRT harm reduction supplies 🏳️‍⚧️ As some of you may know, we did not initially have California in mind as one of the recipient states of the HRT Harm Reduction Toolkits. However...

if disney does a theatrical release of the original star wars films for the 50th anniversary and offers them on physical media i will forgive them for every terrible decision they've made with star wars

Met someone at the weekend who’s decided to take a vow of celibacy for a year. I could not stop myself from saying “I need a vow of non-celibacy” ☹️ Only a year is rookie numbers btw.

mfs be like "how do you expect to get men onto the left if you are constantly demonizing things which are universally loved by all men" and the thing in question is hitler

ok I’ll admit i have some baggage here. I got my little secular speaking career destroyed for asking men to stop groping me so I guess that does make me prejudiced against men with nazi tattoos who don’t cover them up or laser them off for several decades before running for office as democrats

the unbelievable sunk cost of listening to 66% of an audiobook that has fairies and vampires and shit in it because you thought it was gonna be a lot hornier than this

Pronouncing Samhain in Scots Gaelic That mh is a "v" sound, why "Mhairi" gets pronounced as "Varrey" So "Sah-venn" would be closer Irish Gaelige has its own rules, and there is regional variation Language, folks

Like a lot of us here, the Lock 'Em Up-est comments I see on social media are coming from, well, extremely normal people. So I wanted to explain how extremely helpful it would be this weekend if they scared the shit out of everyone driving them nuts.

No notes

BUT FIRST popcorn for dinner.

Guys I’m going to try to give myself a haircut later and there’s a strong urge for the buzz cut. Please talk me down.

How am I capable of getting dumped (by a friend) while still fucking single There’s definitely something wrong with me

moe throwing barney out of the bar where moe is american society and barney is lead poisoning

Being a person is hard and I for one do not get enough credit

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

I stand by it

I don’t care if it’s cringe, suck it up and put on the fucking frog suit

I will feel better if I eat and take a shower but I would rather sit here drink coffee and feel sorry for myself, mind your own business

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this TikTok since yesterday. Sherman was stressing those ladies out.

Being single in your 40s is fine except that nearly all your friends will have a partner or children who will take precedence at some point so you’re not number one priority to anybody and that’s a bit hurtful. Whatever, woe is me I will survive I’m just lonely today.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

BREAKING In a new video, Dolly Parton, the Queen of America, says she’s going to be ok.

it's funny when people pretend capitalism is the only possible motivation for anyone to do anything when every day stuff like this is happening all around us

STOP YOUR SCROLLING THIS IS A SNIFF INSPECTION POINT

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

I've created a calculator that gives you the right answer 80% of the time and I believe it will change the world

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.
