@rhettallain.bsky.social happy trip around the sun day! May I buy you a beer in Vegas?

I can't believe those athletes wasted all that time lifting weights. There isn't a single barbell on the field during a game!

Cool physics thread #ITeachPhysics

Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.

Last week, my husband and I adopted two kittens! Introducing Damian (black) and A’ja (grey tabby). Thanks to Cat’s Cradle Rescue in Oregon for bringing these lively goofballs into our house!

This so much larger than saying it's a loss. The impact of this decision is incalculable.

I saw Santa Claus getting coffee in downtown Beaverton this morning!

If anybody needs an ethical place to buy art supplies, I suggest these folks. (Blick is not ethical, sorry to say. They're trying to create a monopoly.) shop.stlartsupply.com

This is actually a great idea for multiple reasons. AWS has become too important to the structure of the web itself to persist as a private entity.

This is what I do. Except when I don’t do it and have to go back and forth between where I realized I needed the thing and the room where I think the thing is. 🙄

Seriously arrest every single one, idc what their party or their corporation is, they belong under the jail with every pedosadist in history

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably the first time in American history a sitting governor has used that particular -- and particularly apt -- phrase in a public speech

* after being kicked off the team. The "why" of the suicide is easily traced to its origins if you don't elide the facts.

If you are in crisis, please call, text, or chat with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.

Very thorough reporting here.

Today's the day! TEA IS LOVE, illustrated by @hannayoonicha.bsky.social and written by me, is out in the world!! Go grab a copy!!

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

Hi everyone! As quarter one ends, there are a couple of things we could use. If you are able to help our classroom, I would greatly appreciate it! For those of you that don’t know me, I teach 7-10th grade science a public school in NW Ohio. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My new favorite sticker! But honestly our sticker game is 🔥 If you are at CASE in Palm Springs, stop by to say hello! #VernierScienceEducation #CASE25 #ITeachPhysics

A Guardian article says KPop Demon Hunters is “about rival bands” and I guess? But not at all how I would describe it. #kpdh

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

So many of these orgs don't even have to be given orders because they are volunteering And they're too cowardly to own that, so then they are claiming they are following orders that they did not even get

IMF states the obvious 🙄 I’m not an economist and even I can see that

Okay we've got a Unipiper sighting, but. Listen. It's not a true Portland event til Caesar the No Drama Llama shows up.

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

OMG an emoji H-R diagram! 🎢

Good news for sewists: the paper pattern company feared lost to bankruptcy has been saved as an independent company. craftindustryalliance.org/sewing-patte...

I don’t know if this is true since I didn’t see it happen, but are ICE agents afraid of a person in a frog costume? Who is dancing? I don’t understand.

It’s really close! What’s your vote?

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Relaxing on the deck in perfect weather with a gin and tonic 2. Knitting with friends 3. Writing with fountain pens on good paper 4. Slipping my shoes off when I get home and stepping into my crocs 5. Tea

if these companies would just put out a statement saying “we told him to go fuck himself” they would instantly have the type of loyal and dedicated customer base corporations dream of and spend decades trying to cultivate

I can‘t believe people are getting so mad about @angryblacklady.bsky.social saying that you shouldn’t register for a protest. Just show up. Don‘t register.

This is a book series that serves as a comfort series much like Leverage is my comfort tv series. I've read all of the books at least 10 times in the last 30 years. And only now, after reading this article, do I see the trans connection. I just never put two and two together until now.

“Champion of free speech” is my new euphemism for asshole Nazi.

This is #TheDoubleTax. The compounded cost of racism and sexism Karen is facing will come at the cost of the TRUTH being widely disseminated. I stand with Karen and I hope you read #TheDoubleTax to understand how intentional the assault on Black women in leadership is. Preorder: annagifty.com.

We don’t bargain to give things back. We bargain to move forward! #UnionsForAll #UnionMemes

There's still time to vote! I voted for #kosmochlor because it comes from meteorites! space green! #MinCup25

This is really important. And the conviction of Erin Patterson for deliberately serving family members death cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides) is a case study in good forensic science.

It’s officially fall! My neighbor with the leaf blower was out in the curl-de-sac blowing the first 5 fallen leaves!
