Everything is awful. Here's a baby goat with a tiny bouquet of flowers picked right out of the lawn at The Beer Garden

Forking this for another point: Some people downthread are talking about how this isn't the optimal way to prompt AI, but that's the underlying problem: this is a google search. The user wasn't prompting AI. 🧵

Some time ago, I saw a tumblr post with the general thesis that care in our society depends on having people who like you, and things need to be changed so everyone receives care even if no one likes them. Does anyone by any chance know exactly what I'm talking about and is able to provide a link?

This crossed my feed and I immediately burst into the harmony line youtu.be/77wNujaN0x8

A weird thing people do is performatively pretend to have enjoyed or feel positively about travel that they IRL found unpleasant. And it's particularly weird when they do this in a context where they could say nothing. (e.g. they hadn't just been asked or anything)

Give me your favourite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor. Chris Pine as Cinderella's Prince in Into the Woods. The convention of this meme seems to be gifs, but you're getting a youtube for full enjoyment of the musical number youtu.be/tvsDObIQFhg

Farm Boy has garden fresh pickles again!

Human: <shake shake shake bottle> Kitten: *im kno wot dat meens!* <jump jump jump jump grab!>

The Denali Park sled dog cam is active again. Trust me - you will want to bookmark this and check it out every day. www.nps.gov/dena/learn/p...

So happy! So bouncy!

Potats are still here. It’s been a rough week for me, but they’re thriving. Weaning continues to progress. Babies keep growing

Is a flower bulb meant to be a little squishy? (Maybe like an orange?) Or does that mean it's dead/bad? It's not squishy like a rotten apple, but it's not rock solid either

Random memory of the time my father said, with contempt and disgust dripping from his voice, "This all used to be farms. Then they built the 401" While literally in the process of driving down the 401 at the time.

The problem with Cinco de Mayo is this song keeps getting stuck in my head. So now it's in your head too youtu.be/V6Jzk0MsSPQ

One time, when I was 9, I was sick and my grandmother took me to the doctor because both my parents were unavailable to do so. Thinking about this in retrospect, would my parents have needed to give some kind of permission to the doctor's office? Or could we just show up?

I realize this is not the key point, but there's a sociology thesis to the fact that these guys are assuming by default it's an ass-up position, but then getting super squeamish about the idea of having their legs spread Ass-up seems way more vulnerable to me, but they don't seem squeamish about it

Lately the following three pieces of unsolicited health advice keep reaching me whether I want it or not: 1. Your protein intake is woefully insufficient and you need to eat more 2. You needs to eat more fibre to compensate for the fact that you're eating too much protein 3. You needs to eat less

I miss Farm Boy garden fresh pickles. (And no, I'm not in the market for recipes)

One day I hope to be able to retire from translation and offer fanfic beta-reading services to authors who are writing in English as a second language.

#CallTheMidwife fanfic bunny, free for the taking: Beryl/Geoffrey "only one bed" fic, but make it comedy! #StealThisIdea

I feel like if Sister MJ is in fact going to allow herself to die, she should wait until Sister Julienne gets back, so Sister Catherine isn't alone #CallTheMidwife

I didn't even realize Nurse Crane and Mrs. Wallace knew each other socially. I figured they'd be nodding acquaintances at best #CallTheMidwife

I don't feel like it's helpful to have Mrs. Buckle in a nurse uniform when she isn't a nurse. #CallTheMidwife

Anyone have a source for this Peel Report he referred to? My attempts to google are stymied by other Peel Reports #CallTheMidwife

Is it realistic for Geoffrey to be able to afford a flat of that size in London? #CallTheMidwife

Anyone got a Toronto based tattoo artist who is really great at doing words/clear lettering they want to recommend?

Fun fact: the Wicktionnaire entry for "basané" (which is a skin tone) includes a colour swatch. Which is simultaneously a super useful way to describe a skin tone in a unilingual dictionary, and completely useless to me as a translator! fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/basan%C...

Currently struggling to google: what did Jackie Shane do for a job after she retired from music? (I know there's a documentary, but I currently don't have Crave)

Sure, Myrtle still sounds like a squeaky toy, but it's all upper respiratory noises not deep pneumonia sounds. And she's playing, bright, and doing well. Still not 100% though, but on a good trajectory.

I mean, realistically at this stage in my life, probably bleed to death. But this made me realize I don't know what was actually happening in 1066 where any of my ancestors lived at the time, or where I currently live.

Just consciously realized that Pedro Pascal and Diego Luna are two different people

To make the original Nosferatu extra spooky, they hired an actual vampire to play him. This is covered in the documentary, Shadow of the Vampire.

Seen: a gaggle of teenage boys drawing an enormous hopscotch covering the entire length of the block. They were up to 500 squares when I walked past. The kids are alright!

This is Bungalo. She uses that face to get what she wants. It works unbelievably well. 12/10 would never say no to

I've just learned that an image I re-shared yesterday was in fact AI, so I've deleted it. My apologies for putting that on your timeline!

Rogers buys naming rights to Bell Canada

Lincoln Park Zoo’s new baby rhino just took her first steps outside for her public debut if you’re the champagne popping type

Putting aside for a moment the problems with rating people: I'm in no way insulted by being thought of as a 7, but my recurring dating problem has been screening out people who don't actually like me in the way a partner should. So defaulting to no here seems like it might help with that

The internet is telling me that Fresh on Eglinton is closed today, but isn't telling me why

Me: Doing my taxes like a grownup! I'll just open up this PDF of my tax slip and copy-paste the numbers into the tax software so there's no chance of typos... Adobe: "DO YOU WANT TO EDIT THIS DOCUMENT WITH ✨AI✨ ?"

Question for screen reader users: if the content of the post absolutely, 100% explains the image and there's genuinely no further information to add, is it useful if people also add alt text? Or irritatingly repetitive?

One thing I wonder about in #CallTheMidwife, from both a Doylist and Watsonian perspective, is why Dr. Turner's office space is up those steep, twisty, inaccessible outdoor stairs.

I typo the word institution every time I type it. I know how to spell it, but it never comes out of my fingers correctly

I feel like we've had a disproportionate number of unplanned pregnancies, given that these characters are midwives #CallTheMidwife

"Lodge with a kindly confirmed bachelor" = new euphemism just dropped! #CallTheMidwife

"Three young Barn Owls looking out of the quatrefoil of a church in North Norfolk."

Who would rather see baby goats playing than talk about this shit anymore?

Local hothouse peach production. Imagine Ontario peaches all year round!

Feeding issues all round, tiny Agatha has The Bad Poops. Waiting for probiotics to work their miracles. It's a food change issue - the dry food in the studio is currently a mixed bucket - not something more sinister thankfully.
