Happy #Caturday! This is fine. 🔥 What terrible things do your kids do in #Minecraft? (Make me feel better! 😬😅)

Scientists in Australia have identified the oldest known fossil footprints of a reptile-like animal on a slab of sandstone recovered near Melbourne.

Was checking Jason’s pain drug interacts and WHAT

Pro-tip: If you are going to write to me requesting my expertise for an international archaeological project, starting your email with "Respected Sir" is really maybe not the best way to start. Hint: I am not a sir, nor is my gender/ gender preference ambiguous.

No one should be coerced into Assisted Death in lieu of being provided adequate supports to thrive. Yet this is happening to disabled people in Canada. People who need housing. Home care. Specialized medical care. We must commit to providing the right to live if we’re offering the right to die

I was hacking on the 1995 Windows 3.1 Jeopardy! game and I really like this guy's elaborate "thinking" animation.

Hmm. This is a People magazine article, not a medical journal, so take it with a grain of salt... but it's interesting. I've definitely had problems with certain antibiotics in my life and I need to file this information somewhere. 😅

This Time article is really confusing me. "Good teachers... know the number of children in their nursery"? Is this a colloquial phrase I don't know?

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

Oh cool so I quit ballet because I was disabled but also I was disabled because of ballet. dancemagazine.com/does-ballet-...

"Dark woke" is my status right now. It's 4 a.m. It's dark. I'm a(woke) and I don't want to be. ☹️

Content warning: real life body horror. ☹️ Earlier today I bit my tongue so hard there's like... a flap hanging off. It bled SO MUCH. Do I need to go get stitches? Usually I'm too hardcore for stitches and just let everything scar, but I need to be able to eat and right now I can't. 😣

Here are some thoughts for Earth Day, on the impacts of gaming on environmental goals: #EarthDay #EarthDay2025 www.videogamesaslit.com/2022/09/gami...

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Nintendo paid homage to the 1991 Paul Rudd SNES commercial by bringing him back to make one for Switch 2. This is amazing.

Wow, I had no idea this option was available. On my phone (Pixel, Android) there's a button that says, "copy text" and you can choose which part of the text you want to copy. Very cool!

It's Saturday. Do something today that defies social norms but is also cozy. That is your quest.

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I wrote an open letter to my fellow book ppl because no one is coming to save us. We have to save us. And I am weary of waiting for my colleagues to join the fight. Any fight. I chose book bans, but you don't have to www.prettyokmaggie.com/blog/2025/4/17/an-open-letter-to-my-fellow-book-creators

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Remember the THREE C's of LIFE: 1) Commitment 2) Compassion 3) Communication I'll use it in a sentence: I made a commitment to show compassion every time I engage in communication; show love, peace & understanding.

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl, 1943

Im seeing people frame this as ignorance/arrogance. Understand that this man acts out of a genuine hate/disgust for disabled people--this is the root of his anti-vaccination policies and work, and his takes on autism. We must acknowledge the intent. And the hatred/ableism/eugenics.

Also it is REALLY key that Rowling is very much alive and is spending all her time and vast sums of money trying to oppress trans people during a massive global right-wing power grab: this does make her *worse* than other problematic authors, in my opinion.

I am absolutely shocked by the responses to this question. I would've thought the answer was obvious.

what do you want
