So proud to be part of this community and to make art about people like me. Here's to more on the horizon 💚

Incredible post to have show up in my feed without context.

THE HAND FLEX

The aesthetics and soundtrack are amazing and it’s for sure in my top 3 movies of all time (since I count LOTR as one hahahaha).

“THROW HER, THROW HER!” my wife screams while watching pairs figure skating with the passion of 80,000 Romans gathered in the Colosseum circa 100 AD

Why do I now want spicy Chex mix

Henry VIII has entered the chat.

a man in a bow tie says " science rules " Alt: Bill Nye saying "science rules"

INCREDIBLE.

I was trying to explain various sports to my kids (skeleton, luge, curling) and they didn't believe me until I showed them.

Also, what is the most unhinged Winter Olympics sport, and why is it skeleton?

…this is why we need sex ed in this country.

So this is going to have ripple effects beyond the libraries directly impacted, because of course it will.

1. “Sorry kids, no Dog Man for you” might be the single most terrifying sentence I’ve read today.

2. When I worked in a school library, one thing I learned was if a book wasn’t already in the district’s system, we relied on King County Library System’s catalog as a reference for entering it.

[flirting]

*you're

I do that, but then I’ll vaguely remember there was something important or whatever, resulting in me going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole every four years to remember what was up with some scandal.

My school district installed Windows 11 on all of the computers over the summer and now my work computer is basically unusable. 🫠

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.

I know better at this point in my life AND YET

It's Friday night baby

Incredible things are happening on BlueSky tonight

A female sim lies in the middle of a machine that has, like, a cylinder thing around her torso? A doctor is standing at her feet, looking at a monitor, as a robotic arm brandishes the heart it just removed from the sim in the machine. To be clear, she is in the machine because she is giving birth.

Speaking of, can I just say how unhinged labor and delivery is in this game? (I took this screenshot to show my sister, who is a labor and delivery nurse.)

It's the Sims 4, and it's waaaaay more than 500 hours.

Like, that's rookie hours.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm. Text: Noses are red Ice packs are blue I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities: Love unites us. Our hearts are with you.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

...and supposedly the EPA is supposed to be making sure the environment isn't trying to kill us?

Can't wait to get to the nutrition unit. That one should be wild.

I'm supporting in a health class again this semester and it's going to be uncomfortable to count how many of the teacher's slides need to be revised.

For example, yesterday the class talked briefly about environmental factors impacting health...

I still can’t decide how I felt about it, but I do love how committed he was to it 😆

I’m watching the men’s short program and did…someone just skate to…Minions…
