Ok we live in a WEIRD reality (damn weasel) AND I’m concussed, but this is confusing, even if you ignore those factors. I checked the answers, and it’s “correct”, but HOW do you make a bolo tie that has dots???

I can understand the concussion-recovery advice to limit screen time, but I do NOT understand why I was encouraged to replace tv/phone use with reading a book… my body and eyes (and probably brain) move a whole lot more when I’m reading than they do watching TV or playing on my phone

You can just TELL he’s trying extra hard to maintain a hold on the *checks notes* fragile masculinity demographic

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it. Read books. Form your own opinions. LEARN THINGS. READ BOOKS WHILE LIBRARIES ARE STILL AROUND

Yes, the implications of the National Security Team group chat are terrifying on their own, but I got chilled to the bone reading this screenshot. The repeated use of the word “start” makes me wonder what’s supposed to be next. The emojis lead me to an appalling inference

There are no words other than my usuals: -I’m so worn out from living through “historic” or “unprecedented” events -every time I think my satire radar can’t be destroyed any further, stuff like this happens -Curse that stupid particle weasel for plunging us onto this timeline

I wish someone had given me this timeline when I was processing my own assault #BookSky #KnowMyName

What a different world we could have.

The world’s got 99 (million) problems and entitled white men are responsible for 98 of them

Every year on Mardi Gras, I make gumbo and beignets and watch The Princess and the Frog. The older I get, the more Mama Odie becomes my life goal

Today’s ominous motivation from @iamsoberapp.bsky.social

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

Read banned books.

Interesting how strongly Donald and Elon react against deadnaming…

UPDATE: The White House defended its decision to block The Associated Press from covering two official events on Tuesday because it did not refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

@wilwheaton.net This is the second time in as many days that you’ve shown up on my crossword game!

Black Women told ya That’s the POST

ok guys my editor says if more people do shibas against doge I can write about it

Looked up the difference between Orwell’s Newspeak and doublespeak and found this delightful gem

You know what’s even more maddening than unexplained bruises? INCONGRUOUS bruises- when you experience a contusion-causing circumstance, but the bruises that form are on the wrong body part(s)

SPEAKING OF GARDENS yall better have library cards. Some (most!!) public library systems have seed libraries and libraries of things where you can borrow things you may not need to own. Also libraries are revolutionary and librarians have always been on the front lines

Heard a quote on #NPR tonight (not sure who/ what show to attribute): “The opposite of doom isn’t hope, it’s curiosity.” I may not be able to find hope, but I can sure as hell find curiosity

I’ve been craving a rewatch of #RepoTheGeneticOpera lately. It feels extra fitting after hearing this news today: www.npr.org/2025/01/24/n...
