She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

This guy gets it.

I wish I could tell people like me, who first came to Bluesky and felt pummeled by performative scolding, that now it feels a lot less like that and a lot more like that brief window when Twitter was pretty good: useful, occasionally ridiculous, a place to discover new thinkers & writing

Menopause, Writer’s Block, and Being a Late Bloomer - Electric Literature I’m supposed to believe my womanhood is ending but instead, I have been handed a new beginning

I wrote an essay about menopause, writers block, and being a late bloomer. You can also find it in the newly released anthology, The Big M, edited by Lidia Yuknavitch: electricliterature.com/menopause-wr...

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article.

Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

Your skeet reminded me that I haven't seen my favourite unhinged bengal on Twitter for quite a while. I found him on IG. Basil the Bengal.

That is the most rainbowest rainbow I’ve ever seen!

Idgaf if it’s an entire factory floor w/ workers who all look like Sally Fields. Fire all of them if they all waved their KKK cards.

Supporting the working class also means supporting discrimination free workplaces. Maybe support that, Atlantic.

you can remove the word "parenting" from this and it all still holds

This was the best start to my day. The pun, not the article.

Five pictures of pelicans in the final second of a dive, as well as the splash, on top of a body of water with hills in the distance

One more pelican post for the day. 🪶

Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway A New York subway rider has accused a woman of breaking his Meta smart glasses. She was later hailed as a hero.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Finding new follows with niche knowledge always excites me.

What is this clip 😂

Elite activity 👌🏽

A jack-o-lantern on someone’s porch steps. The pumpkin is old and starting to rot in such a way that it looks like an old man with no teeth, making a grumpy expression, with the top also falling in. This pumpkin has seen some stuff.

Anyway please enjoy this pumpkin I saw yesterday

Good grief Angelo 😂

(In other news, I recently rediscovered the Jungian library just off Main rd, Rosebank on my daily walks)

AnSoc is all I'll say 😂

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Meeting with #MiraNair and #MahmoodMamdani in New Delhi when #ZohranMamdani was a teenager provides an insight into the humanism, empathy and politics that mark New York City’s new mayor, a story that has gripped imaginations across Southasia and beyond.

What looks like a human body wearing a bright yellow suit and darker yellow tie with blue stripes, a name label that reads Bob, sitting in a wheelchair holding a book in its hands. But wait! Its head is that of a tiny black dog with a powdered sugar snoot, and it has a tiny fountain pony tail. This is a Beetlejuice reference.

Everybody stop trying, this small rescue gremlin named Don Pepe has won the dog Halloween costume contest FOREVER! (Via We Rate Dogs on IG; Don Pepe is donpepechi over there.)

Fair.
