At how many lbs. on the hip adductor machine, should one consider crushing watermelons between their thighs? Asking for a friend.

PORTFOLIO TIPS FOR ILLUSTRATORS I am an art director who has probably seen close to 1000 portfolios, many great, but many...not 😔 This is a doc I wrote featuring tips and tricks for how to make a better art portfolio site. Feel free to share with anyone who may find this useful <3 #art

My marriage is strong because it is built on a foundation of one partner tying electrical cords into Gordian Knots that the other undoes. This is a metaphor and also totally literal.

Strange... It's almost as if a company accumulating monopoly power in an industry niche and then pouring money into snake-oil AI research would lead to bad outcomes for the industry. Hmm.... automaton-media.com/en/news/japa...

Can't say I'm a fan of this headline since it's ambiguous if the editor's angle is "people who unironically say 'ladyboy' are gross," or just "transwomen are gross." www.thedailybeast.com/top-hegseth-...

Just taking a no makeup selfie at the airport. What could possibly go wrong?

Took the time to visit an old friend while I'm in Fukuoka on business.

I can't imagine generating something with AI and then showing it to someone else outside of, say, immediate family. Just feels obscene to me. Sudden realization: People willing to share AI images they generated as their creations are probably the same folks who send unsolicited dick pics.

I can't tell if this is an ad or political commentary.

In what world does it make sense for the administration's policy to be: "Starve People or Else" www.npr.org/2025/11/09/n...

Reread Frankenstein for class last semester, and I have the same professor for a different class this semester. I'm going to walk in and read this post out loud. (/j)

Victor? Frankenstein? No, those are the names of the doctor. Frankenstein's Monster's real name was Chad.

Gotta love how my YouTube on Android now plays every other song in a mix because Alphabet and Friends can't bother to write software that works.

Nothing but thoughts and prayers. Get out there and negotiate. www-cbsnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.cbsn...

So, with the evident effectiveness of inflatable costumes as disarming optics (and as defense against pepper spray), are we going to start seeing the Spirit of Halloween popping up in other seasons as the Spirit of Protest?

It's one thing to say you support trans people. It's a whole other level to say it with a trans history lesson: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV... ❤️ 💙 💜

Boy, I'm feeling the after effects of this evening's karate practice. Going to sleep well tonight. I did sell the ladies at the dojo on slow kick drills because, in addition to improving kick control, they also help tone the booty.

Learning that a canon Star Trek model had details kit-bashed from a Macross Valkyrie (and a whole-ass chibi Xabungle) made my day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wk7...

The sky says trans rights.

Ever think about how much of the whinging about pronoun policies was basically entitled people getting mad that someone they considered below them dared to tell them what to do?

With the Heritage Foundation calling for transgender rights activism (even stating, correctly, that opposing trans rights represents a threat to trans people themselves) to be branded as terrorism, it's comforting to know that I would be lumped together with some of the best people in this country.

At last...

Okay, AutoCorrect. Stop trying to make me laugh: "Prius Oil Change" corrected to "Priest Oil Change"

It's a sign of the times that I have to give new college grads the same job-hunting advice I did at the start of pandemic lockdowns. Only for a worse situation.

How the heck is Saga so darn good?

One of the more heartwarming videos I've seen lately is a Quaker talking about why they support trans people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoYY...

Just spiked my coffee with some creatine and coconut oil because the latest health trend is "Creatine... but for Ladies!" As someone who has lived on both masculine and feminine sides of the marketing gender binary, I find it kind of hilarious.

One of Thomas Jefferson's big brain moves was figuring out that training his slaves in artisan skills meant he wouldn't have to pay for artisans. Dude would have been a total AI Bro in the present.

Calling customer service to update info related to gender transition and getting an ally on the line is pretty darn nice.

Oh, this is going straight into my presentation to students explaining how normal maps work.

Honestly, me too, buddy. Me too.

I expected to enjoy Sinners, which I did. I did not expect Sunners to have not one, not two, but three lines in different scenes referencing dudes going down on women. Ryan Coogler is truly out there being the change he wants to see in the world.

i love holding real news in my hands

If you're an American and you're not mad right now, you aren't paying attention. If you aren't paying attention, you are failing your duty as an American.

Oh, cool. A side of insult to go with the injury main entree. northernvirginiamag.com/news/2025/07...

Since Google took Pride off the calendar, there is no way to know with it ends. Therefore, we have no choice but to continue celebrating Pride until further notice.

Did a long session of kote-kitae (traditional Okinawan karate body conditioning) last night. Not as much bruising as I expected, but I'm definitely feeling the soreness in my limbs right now.

Easily the best news I've seen in weeks. www.thepinknews.com/2025/06/26/i...

In case anyone wants to know whether this place has juice I got the answer because Jesus Jones replied and told me what song it was

I needed to read this today. Thought someone else might need it too.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Remember that when someone starts off an answer with "Look," what they really mean is: "I have no supporting evidence for my position and fuck you for even asking. Now, allow me to change the subject." Keep an ear out for it. It happens every time.

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.
