I cannot emphasize enough the absolutely seismic nature of the shift between “children are what happens to you, especially if you get married” and “you can choose whether, when, and with whom to have children”

“Why is it so gross???” Rey sadly stared at at the orange gloop in her glass. Ben took a sip and made a face. “That’s concentrate.” At Rey’s confused look he added, “You have to water it down. Then it becomes orange juice.” “Oh.”

Bluesky rn

JUST IN: Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

practically a requirement for this administration to be a sex pest

When you're a tree in autumn but you really want to be a paint shop colour swatch. 🍁

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Tummy ache :/

Why am I getting hijabi drama on my fyp for three days straight??? This is not my monkey not my circus.

The incelification of modern culture isn’t discussed nearly enough.

this is actually my great frustration of walking around in new york.

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

The bay leaf is the tequila worm of cooked foods

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.

It is kinda funny how many people don’t understand how a mortgage works

They found life on mars!!!

Thinking thoughts about the lily pad runners and elves perhaps

@inkypens.bsky.social have you ever eaten alligator?

Why are all the major world leaders kind dumb and into pseudoscience and immortality?

“I don’t think this is healthy.” Rey mused as she opened their kitchens cabinets to even more protein powder than there was yesterday. “Or necessary.” Ben scoffed. “Of course it is, my body is a temple.” “I think your temple could get by with fewer offerings.”

Call me chef winey

Rey told herself she loved Ben. She loved him a lot. More than anyone or anything else in the world. Which is why she was at a twilight convention with him dressed as Edward and she as Bella. It wasn’t too bad though, especially when Ben smiled every time they got compliments on their cosplay.

Denver dehydration is real

Losing weight sucks. Don’t get me wrong I feel better than when I was heavier but I have to go to the bathroom all the time cause that’s how the excess fat comes out. And sometimes I’m just tired from it. Idk, it’s a good thing but it’s also brutal.

Materialists (2025)

Just saw materialists and I owe Dakota Johnson an apology I did not know she could act

This is such a weird gripe but I hate how asoiaf fandom treats Dorne like it’s inspired by South Asia when it’s really inspired by moorish Spain. Just because we are brown doesn’t mean we are the same!!!

One of the funniest interactions I had at my grocery store job was when me, my coworker, and a shopper were talking about our periods and I mentioned I was on birth control so I didn’t get one really and she turns to me and goes: “You shouldn’t be on birth control, it’s so bad for you.” 1/

New motivation is Addison Rae : “she tries too hard, why don’t you try?”

Love me a bit of Sade.

I don’t know how I did it but I ended up on Jeremiah x Draco tok and I don’t know how to leave

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

What if I never cook again?

Gordon Ramsay decided to become Ethan hunt and it’s so much better than kitchen nightmares

hey I am posting this because I didn't know it, and so others might not either: but the BBB has NOT PASSED YET-- it's passed the senate & now it must pass the house. It's time to call reps RIGHT NOW. Johnson is going to push the vote ASAP before backlash can form so the calls need to start NOW.

If you're one of those people who sets off fireworks all summer long, I hope you're reincarnated as the carpet in a house full of dogs with anxiety issues.

this is why i am pretty confident there will not be a meaningful attempt to do an end run around mamdani. a lot of elite cuomo support seemed to be based on “well, he’s probably going to win and he’s a vindictive asshole and i don’t want to be on his bad side.”

Mamdani likes the Democrats, he likes New York, he likes Brad Lander, and it looks an awful lot like it’s mutual in every case.

going back and reading Zohran's grub street diet from 2020 thanks to @priyajain.bsky.social (whom you should follow because she is a goddamn delight, even though she hated MacGruber) and it's delicious but also a terrific reminder of that period of COVID in NYC. www.grubstreet.com/2020/08/zohr...

Now there’s a girl who’s 21 whose been injecting her since she was 16??? And her face is so filled now it looks uncanny??? Jail for the injector.

I DESERVE ICE CREAM!!!

I WANT THIS WEEK TO BE OVER BEFORE MORE BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO ME!!!

Even Nixon knew when to retire!!!

Andrew Cuomo doesn't need to be mayor, he needs to discover Korean skincare and over-the-counter retinol

Breaking news: Former New York state governor Andrew Cuomo has conceded to progressive rival Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary for New York City’s next mayor www.ft.com/content/e4b8...

He’s gone!!!!

good morning nyc, it really is “first paragraph of acclaimed debut novel” outside today (“on the last day to vote for a new mayor, the heat in New York City hit 102 degrees by four in the afternoon”) stay safe and stay cool and try to help your elderly and unhoused neighbors stay cool too if you can

Not watching love island but apparently one of the contestants is in the middle of a mental health episode??? And nobody’s pulling her out???

My friend (who is computer science) and me (who is math adjacent) went to the history of computers museum and I am proud to say I intuitively understood how the analog calculators worked (once I was given a starting point).
