Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40. Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

Part of why we were so excited about these is that he designed them to print on their sides, so you can pack 100 onto the A1 mini plate easily! I did my first 100 whistle test run and omg I LOVE THEM NOW THE RAINBOWS GO ACROSS THEM??? (teeth grooves added by suggestion of folks using them!) 😍

ALERT ALERT!!! @alh2k.bsky.social just told me that MY BREAD BIBLE, sacred text of the Bread Cult, is currently only $2.99 on kindle??? Guys. If you shop there, $3 IS A DAMN STEAL amzn.to/4auVGBY

Tonight’s dragon posting ☺️

I have been trapped for ages. I grab a door handle; it breaks off. It's chocolate. "Ahaha!" The mad chocolatier's laugh rasps from hidden speakers. "Everything here is made of chocolate!" I stop. Everything? I focus on my fears... They manifest as chocolate monsters. I eat them. "You're free."

Assuming a machine trained on a massively cultural database shot through with inequality will not reproduce that inequality is magical thinking on a level that I’ve rarely seen.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Okay, sharing these dogs because HOW ADORABLE ARE THEY? I can't adopt them, but someone should take them home ASAP. #dogsofbluesky chboxerrescue.com/taylor-travis/

I'm in the twin cities and want today's news to bring relief, but it hasn't yet. A friend in Washington organized this to help me but lately, it's been hard to get out of my own way and admit I'm still in need. I'm facing big bills related to what's been going on here and I could use the help.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

A note on rabies: They are a vector for human rabies, but they're not immune carriers of the virus. There's a lot of regional variation in rabies prevalence among skunks, but there's one simple guideline to follow: assume every skunk is rabid & give them their space. Don't pet the stripey kitty.

DHS must be disbanded for us to survive.

Shop update: I'm going to shut down Whimsy Station on Saturday morning and start the move to a new platform! I'm hoping I'll get it up and running again quickly, but don't have an exact date. You can still login with a password (shopwhimsy) and shop for the next few days! #bsnm whimsystation.com

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Both @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social and @noethematt.bsky.social are, as usual, right. The idea that librarians can be unilaterally trusted to oppose fascism comes from outside the profession, bc inside it's 85% white women.

"Sure," said the rocket scientist, "we can send rockets to the moon." "We can build a city there," said the engineer. "It'll be expensive, but we can do it." "But why?" said the economist. "What would you mine there you can't get on Earth?" "One thing," said the billionaire. "Respect."

Missed Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Want to rewatch? (4x and counting for me). The NFL posted the whole performance on YouTube: on pace for 500k views in the first 30 minutes.

Okay, wow. But it wasn’t like it hurt my feelings or anything. Not at all. I was used to this. Completely used to it.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

I can’t wait to get my hands on the physical book (March 31). And yes, I will acquire the audio too, because it is such a good listen. And now I have to wait until 2027 for the second book. Link to my full review posted below.

the bushes were people 😂

The cage is made of the ribs of some impossible leviathan, but it’s just for show. The true prison is an elaborate system of invisible force fields. The bones just lend it a shape and create the impression that those inside are too stupid to realize they should be able to walk out between the bones.

The alien ambassador sidled through the museum in awe. "You Humans have so much art! Do you have machines to make all paintings, poems, stories and songs?" "We experimented with that, briefly," the guide said. "But humans are both cheaper and more creative. And, well, we will make art regardless."

Here is an etymologist’s impression of an owl: It is the word owl, from Proto-Germanic *uwwalon-, which is a diminutive of the Proto-Indo-European root *u(wa)l-, which is imitative of an owl's hoot.

The guy who flipped a billion dollar company for $3 million? “Female-presenting nipples”? THAT guy? Oh, WaPo is *fucked* fucked. Right. Okay.

Welcome to the Winter Olympics don't ask about how many people died or were injured in the making of this sport please and thank you.

Ski jumping- the ultimate test of Douglas Adams’ assertion that the key to flying is throwing yourself at the ground and missing.
