Friendly reminder that BMI was made up by an astronomer in the 1800s and we've just been treating it as scientific fact for centuries. Under scrutiny, there is very little to no actual evidence linking body mass or weight alone to increased health risks for most people.

Okay. Let's take a moment to talk about How To Be A Hugo Nominee And Come Out Of It Happy About the Honor. I realize this is relevant to like, twelve people. I don't care, those twelve people deserve my time.

My favorite part of this meme is the yellow background

The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.

I hate the movie trope where a the woman fleeing her attacker briefly gets a heavy object, hits them with it, *then inexplicably drops it and runs away*. Stay and hit the fucker until you’re certain they aren’t getting back up in the near future.

Monkey's paw-level cruel that these conditions were met...and they also went and added a fruitful abundance of semiautomatic guns.

Some of you

I told my step pop someone hit me. When he asked if I hit them back, I replied that fighting in school was not allowed. That’s when he gave me this gem : When someone hits you, you’re already in a fight, you’re just losing. It’s cool to want peace but sometimes you gotta fight for it.

For some reason this thread is making the rounds again today. Just so y'all know, the biologist it's about thinks it's HILARIOUS that she's now an anonymous BlueSky nightmare. And she would like you all to know that her nose is leech-free at this stage of her life.

If you do a Nazi salute to own the libs or to troll or to generate discussion or to make a point you are still doing a Nazi salute.

Following the rule.

THREAD: What it’s like trying to purchase internal condoms right now.

A small reminder that will do no good but might make me feel better: I get paid to tell lies. I do not get paid to use Bluesky. If I am telling funny animal stories, they are 100% true, even when told in a humorous way. You want lies? PAY ME.

I knew a biologist--still do technically, she's not dead--who went on a field expedition and came home with a NASTY code. No symptoms but absolutely DEVASTATING congestion. She was talking like a plugged-up cartoon character for months. Nothing helped.
