Fuck. Normally we’d hear back sometime in March, I think? Since many applicants factor it into grad school decisions & those are due in mid-April.

We're live! Time for some more boss slaying! Yagluth begone! Mistlands after?? Valheim continues! twitch.tv/firecrow

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

there is a permeating, all-consuming miasma of “we are all fucked and everything sucks; give up” that is far too common in predominantly leftist circles and it’s sad the second you Submit to your circumstances, they win

Timeline cleanse. An adorable Poseidon. Right now he is next to me stretched out and purring.

You know, I continue to be reminded that blocking people who post rage bait screenshots from twitter has done more to improve my experience on here than just about anything. Rage bait engagement is what lead twitter to what it is. Stop supporting it here.

Don’t post front facing pictures of yourself maskless at protests. Don’t post front facing pictures of other people maskless at protests. **Especially** ppl of color. Seeing that all over with the Tesla stuff. You eagerly wanting to be seen doing something endangers both yourself and others.

Seriously. I know we're all lazy and don't bother to read profiles, but please investigate some context on your reposts before talking about unrelated nations' politics! Someone reposted the Shopify DEI cancellation news as an American screed. Shopify is Canadian. They were Canadian jobs.

PLOS has issued a statement on recent US Executive Orders and scientific integrity. We are determined to stand firmly behind our mission, our values and our principles, and against any attempt at censorship or undermining of the core principles of scientific inquiry. plos.io/3D4O8cH

Bean bread ❤️

A little Songbird told me she could help me. She's being a bit cagey, but what the heck. Let's see if we can get ourselves fixed. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty begins now. www.twitch.tv/arcturussadi...

I just had a terrible idea for a project, but I absolutely don't have the energy for it, so I'm setting this free to any other shitposter coder out there. Restore Clippy to Word, but it is meme Clippy.

This also goes for digital books and digital audiobooks you get from the library--they pay for the licenses, and the more copies available at once the more they are paying/"purchasing." Go use Libby and Hoopla, it counts as support!

Good night my friends. Every night I say I love you, how much I care, how much you mean to me, with the hope that each time I do, it helps fight off a little bit of the darkness in the world from your heart. So, tonight, as always. I love you. You mean the world to me. Stay safe.

An inspiring article on courageous community college leaders who are *publicly* organizing and standing up against DEI attacks.. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

‼️Journalists - pick this up‼️ “United States Marine Corps veteran, VA disability rating, federal probationary employee that was 6 days away from end of probation, with an Outstanding Performance Review rating…I was illegally terminated.” old.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...

Autocomplete suggestions on search, posting, and other forms aren't working at the moment. We're looking into it.

Think we're going to get into social media quote graphics business. Everybody else just does this while we're cutting woodland creatures out of stock photos. Work smarter not harder.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Smaller regional auto shows like these take place around the country all of the time. There are also lots of EV-specific "butts in seats" events. Reaching potential Tesla buyers who may not be online makes these events a high-impact educational opportunity. Look for one near you! #TeslaTakedown

Hey Comic Publishers and comic websites, PUT THE ARTIST’S NAME IN YOUR PR HEADLINES AND NOT JUST THE WRITER’S. For fuck sakes.

The ONLY reason I found out part of my MMR never took was because my vaccination records were damaged/lost, and I was required to submit them for several grad school application bits. Had I not, I would never have known. Please if you can, get titer testing done. Just know there isnt one for COVID

Free feetspic free thompres! Enormouse thumpers!

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Data minimization - IE, “a lot of data never needs to be collected” is a crucial concept.

It was a DAY, as they say. But in between the chaos, a cute lil’ robot showed up at the @mediaarchaeologylab as did the most perfect #othernetworks Lite Brite display at the MAL pop up! I sure do love our MALpals ❤️💙💜💗💛💚

Great advice from one of the nation’s best civil servants, @erie.bsky.social eriemeyer.medium.com/so-you-still...

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.
