I worked at a Virgin Megastore in 2002, and we played Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots so much that I actually thought I hated this band for a solid decade afterward. Wild to listen to it again in my 40s and weep like a baby because it's so fucking beautiful.

Companies will be like, "How about spending an hour crammed in public transport, getting shoved by sweaty strangers, just to sit in an office where the noise and lighting slowly push you into a panic attack, while your coworkers judge you on how well you fake interest in their interpersonal drama?"🧵

California, show your teeth.

If you see something (horses), say something ("horses")

Absolute banger. God, I like it.

Accidentally disturbed an arboreal salamander when I picked up a brick in my garden. Sonoma County, CA. #amphibians #salamander

I let my husband go to the farmer's market by himself and now the fridge is nothing but dips from the hummus guy. I'm married to Oliver from Only Murders.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Never going to forget or forgive a single fucking person who supported him.

been saying this a lot but it feels like the absolute best thing you can do to prepare for what comes next is learn to get along with people who annoy you

Favorite things I read in 2024 (not in order): 1. Moon of the Turning Leaves by Waubgeshig Rice 2. The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed 3. The City in Glass by Nghi Vo

Indeed, the peasantry dreams of pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps, then using said boots to curb stomp everyone we left behind while also getting richer the more they suffer.

I took my dog to meet Santa, and he looks like Santa just told him who won the election.

Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by those grapes that are supposed to taste like cotton candy but actually taste like abc bubblegum that got stuck to Satan's shoe as he walked around one of the sketchier neighborhoods of Hell.

"what do we do about alienated young men?" i dunno, what do we do about anybody? let them flounder in shit work until they get disabled and die? we don't do anything for anyone. maybe the problem is the same problem that's driven all of us off a cliff and alienated young men are actually just humans

Yes, I’m religious, I believe in the holy trinity

400+ years after the "First Thanksgiving" most Americans have no idea that the Wampanoag people are still here. My tribe, the Aquinnah Wampanoag, is on Martha's Vineyard and we're still fighting for our land and rights. We’re also doing some cool stuff. 🧵👇 if you’d like to learn more & support us

It's 11 pm and I'm par-baking pie crust.

Hopper came home from the shelter with us 7 years ago today. He's a very good boy (the best) and he has a doctorate in side-eye and he glows in the presence of orcs.

Some on the left have never read N. K. Jemisin and it shows.

if your "why do gen x and boomers suck so bad ideologically" analysis doesn't include that cool people in those generations disproportionately died of AIDS you are blinkered
