I don’t know why “get in, stupid, we’re ALL going to overturn this bullshit together and get back to constitutional principles” is not how everyone’s playing this. A lot of folks out there like “well, what if we triangulated and threw just SOME people out of the car, selectively of course”

Edmund Burke: WAIT WHAT THIS IS A STIMULANT AND IT CONTAINS A TROPICAL FLOWER AND MILK AND IS BITTER AND YET SWEET? HEY ADAM SMITH YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS SHIT ISNT CAPITALISM AMAZING

The internet, on scientists: They're secretive gatekeepers, they hoard esoterica/the truth, they don't want anyone in their ivory tower little clubs Actual scientists: LOOK, WE FOUND A 300 MILLION YEAR OLD FOSSILIZED CLOACCAL IMPRESSION AND THE VENT IS HORIZONTAL! PLZ READ MY 67-PAGE PAPER ABOUT IT

Reminding myself that hope is not on offer from Uber Eats; it’s generated through wrestling with the world as it is, reshaping it, in small ways & large, into the world we can imagine, & which we occasionally glimpse in the process.

“We should be mad about this and not that” confuses me. Do you not have unlimited rage reserves??? Because that and yarn are really the only things I have an excess of. It’s why rage knitting works so well for me.

the whole purpose of the post-menopausal woman is to prevent the rise of generative AI

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

never too old :)

Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"

the internet has *always* had a problem of hate-sharing, and if we want to get out of this, we gotta be equally committed to sharing good work and supporting the people who make it

you don't have to read graphic descriptions of SA even if the rapist is running the country right now you don't have to read or watch graphic depictions of bombing innocents even if it's happening right now you can be angry about and take action against wrongs without exposing yourself to trauma

All of our wildlife patients this year so far have been owls, but this is our first short-eared. You can help prevent car strikes like this by obeying rural speed limits and not throwing any litter out of cars. Even organics like apple cores attract rodents to roads, which attracts their hunters. 🪶

move slow and repair things

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

Evey day, despite a dominant culture of hyperindividualism and alienation, regular people are engaging in incredible acts of community defense, collective care, and mutual aid. Every day, people are already planting seeds of the new world in the ashes of the old.

Washington's bill didn't advance, alas. Next year!

Who COULDN’T use some good news? ‘ Scientists with the Yurok Tribe say that two of dozens of condors released to the wild in Humboldt County since 2022, to reestablish the endangered birds, have paired up, built a nest in a redwood tree and appear to be tending to an egg.” #californiacondor

Me and who

DAMN IT

I was radicalized by a kind elderly Presbyterian minister in a brightly colored cardigan who played with puppets and told me that people could like me exactly as I am and that everyone is different and that's great and we should like them exactly as THEY are.

The show highlighted student models and designers, as well as fashion that flourished during the Harlem Renaissance as a form of social resistance.

Your daily affirmation: Life is what you make it. So make a pillow fort, crawl inside, call your boss, and inform them it's National Pillow Fort Day and also a religious holiday.

I have been remiss and failed to mention that my original art for Flamebraider is being auctioned in the MtG Art Market on Facebook. The auction ends tonight at 11pm Eastern/ 8pm Pacific.

If y’all could report @authorfisherbooks.bsky.social, that is not me, that is a scammer attempting to relieve people of funds, probably by selling book services.

The only thing that could get me to watch the State of the Union: Suddenly getting a dozen texts from friends frantically saying "It's happening turn on the TV"

Happy #TwinPeaks day! 🥧 🦉 ☕️

"i'm literally just a plant that's been cursed with the ability to complain."

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

Are you an indie press that sells ebooks direct (and DRM-free)? If so: drop you links in the quoted thread ⬇️

I'm left as fuck and I'm over here soldering wires into little headphone amplifiers to make them do weird shit. I want technofuturism. I want The Iain Banks Culture. I don't want technofeudalism where I'm just a serf renting (and being spied on by) everything more complicated than a frying pan.

Textiles! Knitting!

I am gathering my supplies to mend a pair of pants during a community meeting this evening and let me count the ways that this is a tiny disruption to patterns that would have you believe they are the natural, unstoppable order of things....

I’ve seen the critique that making these hats isn’t “doing anything” but I’d say raising 3/4s of a million for their local food shelf and rent assistance org seems like doing a lot.

I don’t care how much you love futbol. DO NOT COME TO THE UNITED STATES. It is especially dangerous for black and brown people. The likelihood of getting harassed is high. Not just harassed, but actually assaulted and detained. Stay home and watch it on tv. #FIFA #Worldcup #futbol #soccer

2/3 of Winter Olympic sports sound like something i made up after four glasses of wine

And here’s a cartoon which takes us full circle

Curling doesn't necessarily have to be just a winter sport.

“What I Would Tell Eve” — Megan McAuliff O'Leary

I need fewer enemies to lovers fantasy stories and more lovers to enemies fantasy stories. Forget "we were on different sides but found a secret love," gimme "I pledged my life to a man who I slowly realized never really existed and I knew if I didn't stop him nobody would."

Look, I don't know why Death's selection list has been fucked since Prince, but we're going to need an elite heist team of religious scholars, metaphysicists, occultists and a cat burglar and we're going to go fix this shit.

The Offspring's other bioparent played the pipes. One of the good memories was an afternoon practice during which every kid in the neighborhood came running to find out what that noise was, which turned into an impromptu parade. Yes, I gave them metal mixing bowls and wooden spoons. I'm not sorry.

Yesterday, MSP's voted in favour of a law to help endangered cavity-nesting birds as part of the Natural Environment Bill being debated in parliament right now 🌱✨ www.theguardian.com/environment/...
