Gimme the beetboy and free my soul

I have a request! Can you keep an eye out for any weird non-human skeletons in the Halloween sections around the stores and get some photos for me? I want to do a series of posts on the museum socials about what a real version of each one looks like using our collections.

Reskeet with something you own that most people don't. A medical glass eye from world war one. It sits in a mug commemorating the peace after the war I’m not sure which is weirder, mine or the hamster!🐹

World Languages and Literatures lost their appeal and the entire program and all majors will be eliminated at WVU

Who needs a diary or journal when I have fellow neurodivergents who know me better than I do

It’s so important to make sure you articulate these issues as crisply as you can. Otherwise you might as well just walk(er's) away

I’m so glad to see someone taking a clear stance on this hot potato issue!

Imagine buying a car that can be remotely shut down and repossessed from a guy who enjoys taunting his customers

this man is 52

Being an adult is cool because you’re exhausted all the time but you also get the satisfaction of not really accomplishing anything

WELCOME TO X… oops 🙊 … TwitterX didn’t know that the actual X was taken ;)

lmao

I can't wait to give these people my bank account information and routing number

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.

twitter sign change isn’t going well. Building management called cops

Only a matter of time now.

Hey so if you're new to Bluesky a neat thing we have going on here is that someone completely loses their mind every day and we all watch

Mission accomplished!

Jason Aldean shot his "Try That In A Small Town" video at the site where a white lynch mob strung Henry Choate up at the Maury County Courthouse after dragging his body through the streets with a car in 1927. That's where Aldean chose to sing about murdering people who don't respect police.

you’re either born to shimmer, or you’re born to shine, but you can’t be both. so choose wisely you gorgeous little goblin

Back in the day I went to movies once a week, I’d routinely do 2-3 in a day. There’s no such word as “can’t” and I’m looking forward to barbieheimer day!

That’s Smee in the corner

the barbie movie is praxis! i'm sorry, i have absolutely no idea what that means. i just figured i'd type it up and post it in case anyone else can make heads or tails of it

and here are the reactions. this stuff makes me legitimately angry since the outright claim is that black people trying to process their feelings in the open is tantamount to being a segregationist

this is from Kathleen Parker’s op-ed about the Dylan Mulvaney/Bud Light drama. The entire “controversy” was that conservatives got mad that Bud Light partnered with a trans person, who was then severely harassed. Parker’s takeaway from that is that Dylan should be less concerned with follower count?

emily yahr wrote a great, nuanced story about the complicated feelings among black artists around the massive success of luke combs’ cover of “fast car” and the usual suspects — “rational” centrists like noah smith and conor friedersdorf — are denouncing it as race-baiting. here’s the story.

im ngl medieval christian art of demons makes it look like they'd be so much fun to hang out with

This is by far my favorite quote from someone who found out their neighbor is a serial killer

this is gonna be the best film of the year

this picture of an Amtrak derailment in Florida is exactly what living in America feels like on a deep emotional level

Ugh hate when I’m just going about my business and spot a universe edge peeling up so I try tearing off only the part sticking out and accidentally rip off the whole wall revealing a mess of wires and tangled clockwork gears barely holding it all together.

Looking into it.

hey all! if you follow me on twitter, you know the drill. as more and more people join this platform, i think it would be valuable to gather some demographic info. please repost this if you are a total dipshit, and simply hit the like button if you're only kind of a dipshit. thanks!

It's like my mom always said: when you create a social media app with shitty moderation and safety tools, you apologize and vow to do better and take steps to address the harm you've created. She said that every day, sometimes a dozen times in 24 hours. Finally we know what she meant
