Drop something BROWN

oh cool I’ve been meaning to learn anxiety

Dear Manager, this week I... 1) was drowned 2) was washed up and left for dead 3) fell down to my feet 4) saw they bled 5) frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread 6) was crowned with a spike right through my head. But it's all right now. In fact, the HR department indicates that it's a gas.

Tell me what’s going on in your WIP right now using only a gif.

Well, it is Friday.

true story i get A LOT of death threats depending on what book is blowing up. number one was harriet porber and two any tromp books. i talk a lot on artistic reasons for wearing mask but one i do not talk about often is SAFETY. with amount of death threats i get it is often VERY nice to not be known

Movies you’ve watched more than six times using only gifs

Everyone's just about to file taxes so I see nothing that can conceivably go wrong here.

Hey @nytimes.com, why the change in headline? Murdered trans man not getting enough clicks for you? Proof: archive.is/aLsoN

MAGA GOOFS: if we eliminate government jobs those departments will become more efficient so we have fired thousands of park rangers. EVERYONE: okay what about police officers? MAGA GOOFS: how dare you

Post a female character that you love.

Emma Thorne: Elon Musk is a Fake Gamer Girl

This atrocity has been brought to you by the Republican Party, which has pulled out all the stops to dehumanize and erase trans people for political gain. Democrats haven’t done enough to fight this, but the Republicans have blood on their hands. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/n...

Great time to start wearing face masks again if you haven't been.

Word of the day is ‘arsle’ (19th century): to have a distinct sense of going backwards.

Any other deck.blue users finding that bsky videos don't load? Links to YouTube etc fine but embedded videos have a broken link placeholder unless you click through to the original post. I'm on Firefox if that makes a difference. @deck.blue

This article lays it out plainly. There's nothing to repeal. Costco doesn't have a DEI program. It doesn't have a diversity policy. It simply doesn't use discriminatory hiring practices. These AGs are in hysterics bcuz Costco refuses to segregate its business.

Reading a book of short stories based on Who Goes There/The Thing. Not entirely sure this one is supposed to be funny. (Book is Short Things, this story is Cold Storage by Kevin J Anderson).

watch out for this! for folks who don't know: - windows+R opens the run window which lets you run any program - ctrl+V pastes so this puts some malicious command on your clipboard, then convinces you to run it yourself. don't.

"The 25-year-old employee, Marko Elez, resigned Thursday after The Wall Street Journal asked the White House about his connection to the account."

Thank you, delivery driver, for immortalising our encounter like a still frame from a found footage horror movie.

Holy shit. “USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down. Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.” Follow the money.

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

not that we didnt see it all coming but trot of 'libertarians' just LOVING the taste of authoritarian boot now is so dang funny. so much time spent arguing that they arent just closet republicans and just want freedom then zero to sixty licking every last bit from fascist heels and asking for more
