The mayor of Tulsa announced plans for a $105 million private charitable trust to provide descendants of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre with housing assistance and scholarships

Today on mcnostril.com: Tips and tricks from trusted tomes.

Remember when the pandemic started and the quarantine time was two weeks? The US govt doesn't want you to remember that it was two weeks. But I'll remember. I'll never forget it was 2 weeks, because that's how long it took the virus to kill my grandfather, the strongest old man I ever knew.

The Democrats' 2025 platform is here!

Square Peg Finds Square Hole

DOGE left United States Institute of Peace office with water damage, rats, and roaches

May today be a day where your friends are happy to listen to you talk about what you watched over the weekend.

I'm still testing positive and not only am I fed the fuck up with this, I'm also livid at the national policy which suggests it's okay to go out again 24 hours after just symptoms subside. If COVID is still reading in your body for a week or more then no wonder this shit's still out of control

I attempted to call this twofirstname hick bastard fascist to explain how much of a goddamn liar he is, but it seems a lot of people had the same idea. His voicemail box, the robot voice told me, was full. Good. May he stammer and sweat every day of his life, fearing consequences for his actions.

One may notice the abridged quote at the top of the cover: "This story is cinematic as all get-out. It's a ton of fun... everything is bursting with life." That's the assessment of none other than author and Dragon Age lead writer @trickweekes.bsky.social! books2read.com/aethertorrent 💙📚 #booksky

Happy June, happy Pride, and happy three months until my young-adult fantasy adventure AETHER TORRENT is out to buy! Given the month that it now is, I feel it's important to note that both ladies on the cover are queer. But who are they? ... books2read.com/aethertorrent 💙📚 #booksky #aethertorrent

Convention season is about to start, just as a new variant of COVID is spreading that people describe as like swallowing razor blades. Socials are going to be full of con pictures. Are we going to see any masks in them? I want to believe y'all care.

My “you’re over 30” advice is hold onto the bannister. Stairs will kill you and not even look back

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

the em dash has grown in popularity over the last 20 years or so and is thus over represented in the data sets they trained the fraud machine on and now we are supposed to tell people to stop using them because they were finding them useful, it's idiocy all the way down

Need a reminder on how to play DELTARUNE? Think you remember how to play, but you're wrong? We've made a cheat sheet to review the base game mechanics (and some tips)...! Check it out! deltarune.com/cheatsheet/

It’s 2025, we’ve seen enough photos of live giant squids that people can stop giving them those dead, glassy eyes in video games and movies and stuff and make them look like the shifty bitches they truly are

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

I'll miss the convenience of Rite Aid, but probably not the company itself.

all cats are beautiful

I can’t stop reading “Dante: a Penguin since 1949.” Which is a pretty cool reincarnation story if you think about it?

happy pride month btw

Bluesky's character count literally isn't long enough for how astonishing and out-of-pocket this woman was, lol. Like, there wasn't even room to add the bit about her being a master fencer who would humble your ass in duels for misgendering her

I also think that some people hear "be friends" with fascists. And I have to say that "no" you do not in fact have to be friends with them because fascists aren't transformed by your "friendship." They have to be DEFEATED politically. And what I notice is that some people are uncomfortable with that

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

The cost to repair D.C. streets after Trump's upcoming military parade could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials.

And to think, this city is only *just getting started* being unbearable about Pope Bob

Look at my perfect husband's perfect website and make sure to reload it a few times for maximum enjoyment We CAN make the internet good again, it is within our power

I have a friend who is an exvangelical and she put it very succinctly: “We don’t believe anyone else is human. You are not people to us.” Once you understand this CORE BELIEF and put it into context with the fact that these folks are running our country you can understand clearly their motivations.

happy pride to all my OC's that I like the best.

"While White House spokespeople declined to comment on the attack, administration sources told CBS News on Sunday that the White House was not aware it was coming." Which is probably why it succeeded. www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

1. The FPV drone tech Ukraine used here has been around for a while, though it was used very ingeniously. 2. The Ukrainian attack using these drones relied upon what sounds like over a year of extraordinarily precise logistics, planning, and training. This is not something just anyone could do.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

There's a terrifying amount of people at the highest levels in this industry, who legit just don't like art. They like prestige. They like fame. They like press. They like money. We ain't in this for them.

Genuinely love waking up on June 1st like
