I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Sometimes the last lever you have to pull is the fire alarm as you walk out.

No Strait This Month, Happy Pride

"You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.” Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and books without needing AI summaries.

I’ve said it before, but the way mutual aid utterly baffles the far right is one of the clearest real world examples of evil’s failure to even comprehend goodness.

Most, if not all of us will know someone who has or had breast cancer. Let’s hope other cancers also become treatable with options other than chemotherapy 🙏

Dying over the guy who stood next to Zuck's yacht and painted it in flames.

I mean, the reason to do it would be “spite lol,” but point taken.

Am home! Surprise blood draw after, but a stop at Little Red Hen Bakery balanced that nicely.

If y'all could spare some good thoughts a couple of hours from now? I'd appreciate it. On a related note, I do NOT, in fact, enjoy being a girl and the next time I hear that song the stump in the back garden is going to be DEALT WITH, no tools needed. ("An abundance of caution" thing. Still, ick.)

Email in box: "Hi! This service you haven't used for years has been acquired; in the next couple of months they'll be charging you for a service we've provided for free!" Me: "Cool!" *opens app, deletes account, deletes app*

“Shopping for food is femme” yes Tony Bourdain was famous for his effete air of ladyness

I'm not just opposed to AI, I am opposed to the entire worldview that builds it. It's okay that I must labor. It is not okay that I must worship labor and treat getting more things done as a sacred act.

This is brilliant. Romance has long been a giant in the publishing world (it outsells any other fiction genres). It's got incredibly potential for reaching a large number of people.

Vatican publications director: You got that encyclical for me, with the visual aids we talked about? The Holy Father: Sure did boss, real fuckin' anticapitalist like you asked Vatican PD: what

Someone I know wants this. www.daft.ie/for-sale/tow...

My kingdom for a tech ecosystem that will stop smothering me with apps and devices that constantly try to engage me in conversation against my will

and a very happy Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May to you all

This, always and every day and no matter what, THIS. Right now many things are terrible, they would be a lot more so were there not so many people doing so many things in in hope, in defiance, in solidarity.

back in my day, when we didnt like a movie, we'd write fix-it fics instead of making it everyone else's problem. mfs need to go open a notepad more often

When your kid is between the ages of 12 and 22 you will be an absolute embarrassment to them, and you should totally lean into that role, like, really play it up

life is at least a little beautiful idk

Colbert guest hosted a public access TV show in Monroe, Michigan a day after the Late Show ended. Guest star: Jeff Daniels Special appearance by: Eminem Musical director: Jack White Genius. youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4?...

As always, there's no time like the present to wear an old traveling cloak, disappear into a malevolent fog, and become the reason a little town along the coast is considered haunted.

DC friends, they've started up checkpoints again. There's a checkpoint at Rhode Island Ave NE and South Dakota Ave NE. And fuck ICE.

Our founder was a victim of a violent hate crime just days after our official launch event Please help Jey out by spreading the word or making a donation to assist with their recovery Any extra funds will be used to help build Beyond X&Y, which they are still committed to building despite this

I was a sentient human in 1986, and I can assure you, I would NOT just get on a rocket ship.

I would ask many questions such as what is the destination, what are the abort points, what is our DV margin, what is the ECLSS flight legacy, will there be a toilet, does the toilet have flight legacy, are there any deltas between this and flown toilets, what preflight tests has the toilet passed,

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

I can honestly tell you that if I were offered a seat on a rocket, I would have MANY questions and would not just get on, as the idea of being reduced to dust over the Atlantic Ocean does not appeal to me.

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

Lmao the light rail added a special message from Megan Rapinoe reminding you that Seattle is super gay so don’t be a homophobic twat while you’re here for the World Cup

For @cupcakegoth.bsky.social Feel better, dear one.

Gerontocracy is how I still occasionally see people talk about AOC being too "young" and "inexperienced" for a presidential run despite the fact that in 2028 she will be 39 and have spent a quarter of that life as a US congressional member sitting on 5 different oversight and finance committees.

Something I’ll always stand on.

I have a great niece with actual evil genius potential. I am kind to her in hopes I'm spared til last in whatever scheme she cooks up in 20 years.

Went down to the National Mall to talk to folks about video games

Thanks to Katie Carr on Threads, I just learned: in 1996, the cast of the newly-launched “Star Trek: Voyager” got together to do a feature for Parade magazine about the power of late-’90s technology. Behold its fabulously unhinged glory. 1/

Truly! This is part of why I find the "people crave inconvenience" and "you're just nostalgic" fronts so irritating. We don't crave inconvenience or some never-real golden past. We crave things that 1) WORK, without 2) endlessly extracting from us on any and every axis they can manage.

It hurts my heart to say all this but my mom passed away on Sunday morning after a 7-year battle with lung cancer. We’re trying to raise $8,536 for funeral expenses since we don’t have insurance. Any support or even sharing this would mean the world to us right now. ko-fi.com/ellienoctis/...

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

This removes all the crap in chrome.

What a great foster mum! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Give your mother or other special folk what they really want for Mother's Day - a cloak of protection from mischievous fairies and a cottage that roams through the forest on giant chicken legs spreading fear & wonder in equal measure.

Good morning on this Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. Today, you can practice gently ending the argument inside yr head when you catch yourself having it, especially w/people who aren't there or who it's not safe/not fair for you to argue with. Do this as many times as you need

That's the thing the accelerationists don't get; you *do not* want to experience The Revolution because it ain't going to be fun or clean, and there's a good chance you won't actually live through it. Slow, gradual change over time gets a lot of shit, but it honestly beats most of the alternatives.
