King shit.

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too! Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live. Don't let her see a dime!

I'm not really a knuckle/hand tat girlie -- mostly because I know how easy it is for them to get wonky/wear away -- but I *am* somewhat tempted to get DO NO . TAKE HARM. . NO . SHIT. in like a typewriter font.

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

Reblogging to fully peruse the thread later!!! ❤️❤️❤️

IT IS TIME.

Just finished a full rewatch of EVERY episode of Buzzfeed Unsolved -- True Crime, Supernatural, AND the Post-Mortems -- in order. Seriously considering starting all over again.

Poor Biggie!

Next COVID vax lined up for tomorrow -- so got damn grateful they're still readily available in my state, no hoop jumping necessary.

Good Morning, World.

Want to read ethically by ditching Audible/Amazon, Spotify, &c? 💙📚 1. Your local library needs support & has free physical & audiobooks 2. Queer Liberation Library: free digital library for US LBGTQ folks 3. Libro.fm: Audible but pays indie bookshops 4. Bookshop.org: physical books from indies

What’s the most dangerous bit of a sword?

*groooooooves*

holy shit today's the day

@grammar-con-queso.bsky.social has promised to do this (which is yet another reason why he's such a good egg).

My electric bill has already jumped from $95 and change/month to $215 and change/month. I've done absolutely nothing different. My condo is 800 sq. ft. It's entirely due to a nearby data center.

This is an EXCEEDINGLY well-composed/framed photo.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

That last line is one of the absolute single scariest things to me and that it was said with such casual happiness is even more disturbing. Not distressing. Full tilt disturbing.

Evergreen post for every writer ever

Pedro said y’all made me a superhero and I took that personally

every "ancient tradition" was invented between 1848-1870 and every "modern perversion" is so ancient that it predates writing

Inside you are two wolves

BUY THESE BOOKS. NOW. All of Cat Sebastian's stuff is great (and queer AF), but these two are especially fabulous with their BE QUEER, DO CRIME thesis statements!!!

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was: * successful at everything he tried * genuinely intelligent & insightful * desired by women * envied by men * an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with * a tireless, lifelong philanthropist ... and he died peacefully in his sleep. 10/10 life. No notes.

WHAT A HUNK.

Oh HELL YES

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com p.s. this week I am on a USA/Canada tour with my new book. Details and preorder links at tomgauld.com

I need to pick this up ASAP

This would fix me.

STOP. ENSHITTIFYING. *EVERYTHING*.

I think my hair looks nice today. (Photos aren't doing justice to how deep the teal really is, tho.)

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story

Y'all, I just love bats sfmmmm. *clenches fist* Just LOOK at that precious lil sweetheart of a face!!!

When I tell y'all I am OBSESSED with these two/Suzanne's art, omgggg.

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider : are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No. *but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no. *but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no. maybe you're not being negative *enough*

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Thank God -- gotta get a booster ASAP.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Oh me? I keep a sketch page where I doodle my characters kissing when I get overwhelmed

Would live in every one of these.

Fully intended to deep clean today, since I had a half-day at work. Instead, I just reorganized the art in the kitchen and put together a puzzle. Now feel disgusting, so time to slug on the couch.

Urge to rewatch yet again, RISING
