So grateful for period underwear. But it’s an expensive trial-and-error exercise to find ones that work (i.e., provide adequate coverage). I order them when my period hits, and by the time I use them, 30+ days have passed so any refund offers have expired.

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

Are you freaking kidding me…the big 3 US airlines charge solo travelers more for domestic one-way flights than for 2+ travelers. SimpleFlying confirmed it. youtu.be/8ddKszVU4kc

Wake up nerds, the first images from the Rubin Observatory just dropped! Rubin’s specialty: a wide field of view and speed. This gorgeous image of the Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae combines 678 exposures taken in 7 hours. 📸: RubinObs/NOIRLab/SLAC/NSF/DOE/AURA

New #Muse! youtu.be/bK0bFsn8Jmc... (FYI, some strobe effects in the video.) Interesting that they’re continuing to embrace metal. I’m getting 90s-00s rock vibes from the overall sound. The melody and note intervals aren’t my favorite, but maybe it’ll grow on me the way all their new music does.

Will Burkart and Nolan Culver (opener) were fantastic tonight. Standup comedy is so different in person and the audience’s positive energy really makes a difference. This was just the first of several comedy shows I grabbed tix for — I can’t wait. :)

Seeing a comedy show tonight, and NOT sitting near the front. 😂 I’ve started watching loads of standup on YT, but this is my first live show in years. I even double-checked what to wear (jeans, tee, either Tevas or sneakers — 60-and-cloudy = summer in Seattle). Hope you all enjoy your weekend. :)

I'm a big space nerd & tech fiend. I spent the early oughts around some of the wannabe tech elites & lower echelon scrubs. They weren't progressive, they just wanted to be the ones who brought progress. As soon as they realized they couldn't, their emasculation turned to authoritarian vengeance.

ICE was created in 2003 with the help of mass marketing exploiting people's fears and prejudices, and with overwhelming support from both parties. A vocal minority predicted correctly that ICE would become an instrument of mass terror against all of us. Trans people are warning us similarly today.

Hey, #Seattle, where’s a good vantage point to see the incredibly funky clouds to the southeast? In SLU/CapHill/Belltown, but I am willing to drive!

I love everything about this except referring to the 90s as "the late 1900s." (Not the first time I've heard that -- when did that become a thing?!) 😭 But seriously, this is SO COOL. And reanimating PoDW using modern tools fills my heart with joy.

Juneteenth coincides with the anniversary of losing my sweet goofball cat with no warning 3 years ago. Maybe someday I can celebrate the day-of more wholeheartedly.

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

At Seattle federal building, there is a vigil and speak out for Tuan Pham, who was deported to Djibouti in Africa, where he is staying in a shipping container with other deportees in a totally foreign environment

Heads up PDX: Unstable MAGA provocateur Jonathan Choe is at the ICE protest tonight filming agit prop for TPUSA. Choe has a history of not only misrepresenting events, but of assaulting leftists. Dude gets worked up & tries to get a rise out protestors. Be alert.

twitter is already used as a direct targeting zone for the government to send both harassment mobs and actual prosecutions towards people they don’t like if they actually set up on here, understand what you’re getting into if you want to fight with them block and ignore is much safer

this is going to be an unpopular take but this is 1000000000% bait, this is 1000000000% vance intentionally driving far right traffic to this website, this is 1000000000% implicit brigading (surely to Musk's great joy), and therefore you should 1000000000% not take the aforementioned incoming bait

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

I keep thinking about how Andy Merrill has mentioned a couple times that he wanted to do an finale for the "Pirates of Dark Water" with like, sock puppets or something in that ballpark, for a Cartoon Network thing and they wouldn't let him

If I'm reading this correctly, Amazon will be placing targeted ads all over Roku, meaning they'll gather data on Roku users' viewing habits? I guess that's the end of my Roku usage. I'm so sick of this. deadline.com/2025/06/amaz... #amazon #roku #TechEthics #EthicalTech #ResponsibleTech

Still thinking about the multiple signs I saw at #NoKingsDay #Seattle that quoted lyrics from #Muse. They've written some GREAT protest and anti-tyranny anthems. And I meet fellow Muse fans so rarely in the wild. I was so happy to find others who recognize their brilliance. #NoKings

My healthcare provider uses a DAX-based notetaking "AI" tool. Today I was my doctor's first-ever patient to decline its use. She was really surprised initially, but then went with it. I explained that I'm big on tech ethics, and I know enough to know not to trust these tools and companies yet.

I just learned that the AltGov accounts for NPS and NOAA are not legit. Are there others to avoid as well?
