Was looking for a still from "Friday's Child" & stumbled on a bunch of these insane speech bubble memes but this one takes the cake. "Get in line, kid" he says. Jesus christ

Periodic reminder that airplanes are gross and masks are great

"Witnessing large-scale systems slowly unravel in real time can be profoundly surreal and frightening. The hypernormalization framework offers a way to understand what we’re feeling and why."

The world is full of horrors, but you are not one of them. Make yourself a nice tea, go outside, and think about your next creation. It matters more than you think♥︎

dude wasn’t kidding

I love them so much 😍😍

if I see one person suggest that trans people are acceptable losses in exchange for other stuff, it’s on sight that is evil and it is also loser reasoning we fight this WHOLE bill there is nothing to compromise here, especially not on vital lifesaving care for trans people

Aaaaah so excited, loved the first two!

Everyone I know looks so old these days. And part of that is the normal passing of time and the fact that I’m in my late 30s. But even more of it is this:

The house has passed a ban on coverage of gender care for all ages under Medicaid, CHIP and ACA plans. I don't know what to say to anyone this morning other than that the hundreds of thousands of people who are about to lose access to the care they need to stay alive deserve better than silence.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

we genuinely have a death cult in charge of our government. they want as many people as possible to die while they steal our money from us

Kids, if you need the water-guzzling lie machine to give you writing ideas, please put down your chosen writing implements for a month or a whole season and go get in trouble. You have to live to write.

Ooo! You can watch my SmartyPants for free!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxMR...

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Just as with masks, the whole “we just don’t want mandates” lie has now collapsed around the COVID19 vaccine. These people are the same charlatans who claim they are all about medical “choice”. Then they take the choice away from us.

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

i want to be a killjoy: we need to make it socially unacceptable to ask chatgpt anything

New Jersey folks, measles exposure. (Periodic reminder: If you were born before 1989, there is a chance you never got both recommended doses of the MMR vaccine as a kid. Get your immunity checked or just get a booster if your insurance won't cover the titer test.)

okay, if you think gAI is a positive, that its "here to stay", and you're so proud of using gAI to write create art, claim it. Disclose when you use it to read, write, think, create. Have the integrity to publicly declare that you used gAI--its all the silence and secrecy that is so interesting.

Murderbot was so fun. I’m delighted it exists and can’t wait for more.

A very self-indulgent Kleya painting in these stressful times #starwars #andor

I need folks to understand that when I say “Enemies to Lovers” I don’t mean Oppressor/Oppressed or Enslaver/Enslaved. The dynamic where opponents, equal in their power and threat to each other, requires equity that doesn’t exist between oppressor and oppressed. Two house alike… #Romancelandia

I’ve had the worst ducking writers block for the last couple of week. I hate it.

BREAKING NEWS: The long wait is nearly over — #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds finally returns July 17 with a two-episode Season 3 premiere! blog.trekcore.com/2025/05/star...

I really loved Star Wars Andor's finale, but I really have an issue with its final treatment of Bix, and I've been trying to articulate it for my video essay - but I'm curious about people's thoughts.

We tend to assume boredom is something to be avoided, but in centuries past you would go wandering through the woods or stare at the walls of a cave for an hour and accidentally invent beer or a new religion or write Alice in Wonderland.

The Romulan Commander is finally here 🔥🔥✨ #RomulanCommander #StarTrek

I wonder what Ghorman sounds like to a native French speaker.

there is no environmentally or ethically defensible use of chatgpt and I am very disheartened by seeing beloved authors promote it

This is really cool news! These 60s-70s zines were at the very heart of the origins of fanfic/fandom as we know them today. Spockanalia (1967) was THE FIRST Star Trek fanzine ever (and Trek zines were what started it all)! These old works are really special, I love seeing them preserved on AO3.

Just a friendly reminder that our current Covid vaccines do not meaningfully prevent infection or transmission of Covid. Misleading the public about this fact led to massive distrust about vaccines and record vaccine hesitancy. It's SO crucial to make ppl aware of this fact to fight vax hesitancy
