reading an article on a topic that quite interests me, I stumbled upon this bit: "He took up running late in life" oh, yeah? like in his 60s? later? "in his early forties." y'all. please stop acting like people in their 40s are nearly dead. thanks.

I'm gonna get my Kellis-Amberlee after all!

Do you like your zombies terrifying? Do you long for the days when an honest blogger could genuinely help save the world? Do you like your heroines damaged and codependent? Try Feed! Guaranteed to make you consider spray-painting the RSS logo on a sidewalk!

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

I'm sorry, truly, but I literally cannot keep track of all the things about which I am supposed to be outraged, terrified, and sad. If I'd known there was going to be a quiz, I'd've made a spreadsheet or something.

"Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air, and my house is full of mutant fucking squash."

According to Seattle Indivisible elsewhere, Pendergast Law have dropped advertising on KOMO over Sinclair Broadcasting's support for Trump's censorship actions and threats against critical media. Keep it going, keep writing those letters. #seattle #protest #protests #fascism #censorship #komo […]

This will not help with the whole "Healthcare is too expensive and now the marketplace plans are quadrupling in price" issue.

For Seattle area (or others coping with Sinclair stations) this talks about how to push back. solarbird.net/blog/2025/09...

This is something I’ve been thinking a lot about the past few weeks. It’s a bitter and difficult thing to live life with senses cranked to 11 at all times in an environment that is fundamentally hostile to that lack of filtering - at both a sensory and social level

Come for the very good, honest discussion of fatphobia in Star Wars through the lens of the Hutts, run like fuck away from the 'BUT THEY'RE SLUUUUUGS I DON'T GET IIIITTT' comment section gizmodo.com/star-wars-ma...

Did everybody wake up in 2025 and forget that executive orders are not laws? Executive orders aren't decrees from a God. Why is every government body and corporation acting like they are?

Post a random Star Trek image

is it normal to be tired all the time

Do not go gentle into that good night, We should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light

to anyone who, in defense of elected leaders doing little to help release fascism's grip beyond writing strongly worded emails, asks "how else could our elected officials possibly fight back??": here's a lovely example.

Please don’t post AI shit, even if you mean it kindly. I will never be happy to see it.

A good piece by @fathernathan.bsky.social this morning (yes, it's, Substack, I know)

Update: these photos are how my Souper Cubes looked post-lasagna, after also hand-scrubbing and running them through a dishwasher cycle. But today I baked them at 350deg for 30 min (because they also smelled like lasagna) and they look like new again!

This is ridiculously charming.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

If anyone thinks this won’t raise the tensions, they’re sorely mistaken. Do you know what happens to a radicalized cult when something like this happens? They retaliate.

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around! 1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video" 2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

Made my first individual lasagnas in my 2C Souper Cubes and I'm kinda worried I did something wrong--since I wanted to take them for work lunches I baked them in the trays before popping them in the freezer, and my trays are all stained now. Should that have happened??

Woohoo the Raku is on Roku! They picked up the new seasons - first bunch on Max. tellyvisions.org/article/grea...

Another September, another deluge of social media posts from PNWers convinced they have fiddle, wolf, or recluse spider infestations. Comrades. It's just giant house spider mating season. You don't have an infestation. They've been there the whole time. Now they are risking death for girlfriends

All the showtimes for Spinal Tap 2 at the Chinese Theater are at 4:11, 7:11, 10:11 etc.

I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this

Just gonna repost this for no reason at all.

4) do return-to-office mandates improve productivity? (No)

This attitude blows up rockets and kills the crew. We *know* this because we've seen it happen. This is the consequence of letting a fool who understands nothing about NASA to lead it.

So, Chicago, thwart. Thwart like lives depend on it because they do. This was long and nobody'll read the whole thing, but man it felt good to write because, for the time being, LA fucking won. 11/end

An evening making music with my @vixyandtony.bsky.social bandmates @vixyish.bsky.social , @tfabris.bsky.social , and @stealthcello.bsky.social for no other reason than because we love each others' company and love playing together. My heart is comforted and full tonight. 💜💜💜

1) What in the ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’ (derogatory), Crusaders-marching-on-Jerusalem f–– is this s––? 2) To belittle Joseph Robinette Biden for, of all things, insufficient religiosity is truly f––ing wretched.

What is the city but the people?
