For fathers in search of friendship, a growing group has emerged: the Brooklyn Stroll Club. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/s...

Has anyone else clocked a trend of characters helping each other through panic attacks? It's lovely. Once I started noticing it, I've seen it in books, shows, even actual-play TTRPG podcasts. (1/2)

Hooray!! It's been a long road for the downtown Ypsi library but they're BACK IN THE GAME!

you're gonna wanna see this

I stitched this old tweet by @ladyofsardines.bsky.social and remind myself of its truth literally every day.

Signs of spring, ranked.

Just finished The Tainted Cup by @robertjbennett.bsky.social and -- damn, I haven't fallen so hard for a book in a hot minute. Grumpy old lady detective and her cinnamon roll assistant solving murders in a vivid world menaced by kaiju from the sea? GIMME MORE.

Load-bearing pronouns, etc etc etc

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

I've started going to crafting events at my local library and the vibes are consistently impeccable👌

Sure, I go to the library for books, but also sometimes I go just to exist in a space that's welcoming, organized, comfortable, judgement-free, and run by knowledgeable, helpful, passionate people, because that energy is straight up medicinal.

One of the most clarifying things I've seen in the past few weeks is "de-escalate all conflict that is not with the enemy."

"Virtue signaling" is so often used as an insult, but signaling your values (and letting others know they are accepted) is so important. Think about how often the opposite--like a MAGA flag--happens.

Oh, this is gonna be good

It's #NationalLibraryWeek! And there ARE easy things you can do to help the world be better. #1, right now, GET A LIBRARY CARD. Even if you don't think you'll use it. Check out LIBBY and HOOPLA that let you borrow ebooks, audiobooks and magazines!! You don't even have to go into the library...

Boston has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever

I just need everyone to watch this and understand I have been laughing about it for 24 hours

Co-signed. Also, maybe if the entire world were not directed at telling us that "sex is what makes us human" and we must want sex no matter what, we wouldn't feel the need to tell you that we don't want it. For me, saying I'm ace is no more oversharing than saying I don't like mustard.

A little bit of sunshine goes a long way sometimes #braincomic

In honour of Hayao Miyazaki I've implemented the biggest update to the GenAI mute/block list in a few months. Clear your feed. Let me know of any missed accounts and any false positive I might have swept up. I'm not perfect and happy to review mistakes. bsky.app/profile/eidy...

move slowly and build things

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Had a grand time at the @ypsilibrary.org Superior Branch yesterday, learning a new craft! Nothing like stabbing a hunk of wool over and over again to get you psyched up for a protest 🤩
