I leave a white and turbid wake; pale waters, paler cheeks, where’er I sail.

if you are subject to american news you are constantly being told that people like me are a problem to be solved. they will say that we would rather have been cis and/or neurotypical. i do not want to be cis. i do not want to be neurotypical.

hello, i made this bot. i am a trans autistic anti-fascist. you are following a work of trans autistic anti-fascist art. that is why it is screaming

As a big Joan Micklin Silver fan I’m so happy to see this.

Mad lib format for AI articles. Replace “Misdiagnosis disables” with almost any noun verb combo.

People are so great at it though, I really take joy in how sharp people's instincts are about evidence. These shitposts about tylenol give me hope.

Everybody having to reinvent causal reasoning from first principles out here as we respond to fallacious associations, the antiscience era is a ride

Terrible facts. Amazing graphic.

It seemed impossible: New Mexico — poor, bluish-purple, oil-and-gas-heavy — passed a clean energy law more ambitious than almost any other state had achieved. Not only that, it did so with broad bipartisan support. The catalyst? A dying coal plant. jrehmeyer.substack.com/p/how-a-dyin...

this is a MUST read.

I had Rosh Hashanah dinner with my brother and his family which means I can wish you all a sweet new year by reporting the my 14 y.o. niece’s most favorite book ever (“This book will blow your mind!”) is Jacqueline Harpman’s I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN. www.thriftbooks.com/w/i-who-have...

[refraining from bitter little comments on how many people protested Kimmel’s cancellation vs the kidnapping and disappearance of ICE targets bc it’s more complicated than that and we must celebrate our wins and yet]

Damn.

Keep packing the court until all 330 million Americans are justices

I write my snappy little replies and quote tweets and then I look at them and then I delete most of them before they ever see the light of day.

Excuse me, look at the inside.

Snek ‘n egg on my sketchbook cover.

The frenzied quality of it is horrifying me.

Some people think ChatGPT has a place writing things like news briefs, stuff written to a specific style and tone and, y'know, kinda boring. So Science did a study. ChatGPT failed. Why? It got stuff wrong. "Also, extensive editing for hyperbole was needed." www.science.org/content/blog...

The way my queer-taught eye reads those divas as drag queens.

This includes Only Murders in the Building actors Selena Gomez, Martin Short, Meryl Streep and Martin Short. As a slight spoiler, corporate censorship is a theme this season.

My department is hiring an associate/full professor of Early Modern/Modern Jewish History. Please apply and please share within your networks. I have been told to say we're very interested in the early early modern. Note: I am not involved in the search but am happy to answer general questions.

This looks great. I’m very curious how it compares to the NYC version of the project. schoolofpublichealth.washu.edu/telling-the-...

I feel about this the way I felt about particularly big football games in the stadium near my house but with at least double the risk of serious violence. Hope everyone nearby stays home and stays safe.

just learned about the rapture and it really cleared up what happened yesterday when like 50 people in white t-shirts took a double decker bus down my block blowing actual trumpets, no prior trumpet experience needed, perhaps discouraged.

I leaned hard into cringe before Blewski was a even a temporary twinkle in Jack’s evil eye.

I’ve been guitar shopping this year. The Chinese guitar from Eastman went up $400. Japanese made acoustic from Yamaha went up $200.

One of the items I stocked up on last year in a tariff panic that it would disappear has not disappeared, but the price has gone up 50% and the company has yet to restock.

Always, @tricialockwood.bsky.social.

Dawn glow with rooftops, birds, and a barely visible Venus.

I feel like we’re getting into sleeper cell Manchurian candidate type territory with EK. He was always bad but this is bonkers.

Centrists constantly complaining about "Bluesky" is a reminder that centrism is dying, not the left

Do you wish you lived in a city where you could simply buy some street food, like a delicious hot dog, while boppin around the city? Then you're going to want to submit written testimony or sign up to speak in favor at the Arts & Economy Committee next Tuesday.

Was driving north on the 205 and saw a small but determined group of people waving flags, with one large one upside down to signify distress. When I got closer I could see all their signs were about the defense of free speech. ✊❤️
