Ahhh it’s so good!

A surface is described as 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 when it’s covered with glandular hairs. In the case of this Petunia exserta, the glands are tiny but sticky enough to trap lots of fungus gnats! (This is a great plant for gnat control in a greenhouse.) #Solanaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Hello I need answers.

jfc stop sharing things from the NYT

you, a logical urbanist: there should be fewer transit stops so transit can move faster. me, a crying baby: there should be a stop at my door

The last thing you will do before getting a ninja star in your neck is react to a text of mine with a thumbs up emoji. Good morning.

I know I'm screaming into a void but having a bad personal day when the world is in general chaos is not very good.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

Behind every Instagram comment bashing conceptual art is someone who can’t paint.

Iran is an Islamic theocracy because of the US. Iran had a democratic government which the US and UK overthrew to install a brutal pro western dictatorship for oil. The 79 revolution was a direct consequence of this. People pretend the government is anti-US for no reason

Democrats, whimpering: i-I-I don’t think we can get rid of ICE Republican, groping a child: Say goodbye to the Department of Education!

Earlier today someone posted pics of unmarked law enforcement vehicles massed up at a local public transit up, warning that they could be ICE agents. I contacted Pittsburgh Regional Transit, who tells us they're FBI & local & state police participating in a multi-agency exercise for the 2026 draft.

Me, hearing about death of the author: “Omg I didn’t even know she was sick 😔 🙏 rip”

I wonder if people in 1930s Germany had to deal with the low-quality political humor I’m facing.

but you can still eat it around me I don't mind

Trying to convince my partner that our living room record player is running slow but my only evidence is my impeccable knowledge of Diane Dufresne’s “Tiens toé ben j’arrive.”

Sometimes I think I'm fiddling with unimportant things in a time of crisis. Then, I see what major news outlets are doing and I feel much better about myself :)

I don't understand why anyone would want Reza Pahlavi as shah. Like, isn't the lesson of the Pahlavi dynasty that you can just sorta pick anyone to become shah? Choose a new shah who already lives in Tehran. Save yourself the moving expenses!

i made a helpful reference

Just realized that I thought two local writers were the same person.

Discovering Pittsburgh’s raunchiest and most welcoming book club: Sex and Death. By Tyler Barton. pghrev.com/no-punches-p...

“Nobody’s Psychic: Finding & Losing Yourself” is Dani Lamorte’s look back at his life, from growing up in the 1990s in an evangelical Christian community in Armstrong County to his days at Pitt, his time in Arizona and his more recent life as a queer writer and artist living in Swissvale.

Thanks to @wesa.fm's Bill O'Driscoll for talking with me about Nobody's Psychic—my debut book from the University Press of Kentucky. 💕 (And this is a radio interview, so it doubles as a voice reveal for interested bloomfs.)

people get mad bc i call democrats useless but this post is a great example of one of their biggest messaging failures they won’t call current events anything other than a distraction from cost, cost, cost! feels like they saw the mamdani wave and now we’ve forgotten how to walk and chew gum

Abolish the New York Times 😌

freudian slip inside this pussy

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

If anyone is working on alternatives for local reporting and arts/books coverage please let me know

Need her to dial it up to “Mayor of Minneapolis” levels tbh

hey, I’m sure you all know better, but just in case you need to hear it from a licensed and degree-holding healthcare professional - don’t fucking do this.

rare “speaking from actual experience and expertise” moment and I’m only going to say it once: for the love of god, if you’re in this fucked up country, do not post things on social media that even *hint* that you’re contemplating illegal activity, much less violence against the state.

NPR: There are multiple accounts of what happened in Minneapolis today also NPR: *only gives ICE’s account of what happened*

If there's one thing Americans love, it's a fantasy of being rescued from America.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

This is not a good year for Pittsburgh media so far!!!

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

"Should I write an Object Lessons book?" is my "Should I go to grad school?" (which isn't to say i'm not asking "Should I go to grad school *again*?")

Democrats win in 2028 if they pledge to pass a law that prohibits companies from sending a “Your order has shipped!” email when all they’ve done is created a shipping label

stop telling people to monetize their hobbies pls and thank you

Sometimes I just want to see my friends dicks… not because I’m necessarily horny but because I’m nosey lol
