Catastrophe

I’ve been wondering about elastomerics and SIP valves… theoretically better protection, but at the risk of dehydration and horrendous dry mouth… hm.

Sometimes Klaus is so glorious I cannot even.

Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025?

Why tf are people like this??

Yes please, vaccines for all

Oh what an absolutely glorious floof!

😮

Omg TrekVoid!

Reskeet with a banger picture of your cat

Yes this is exactly how I feel right now

Hard agree. The alternative dynamic is just not interesting to me.

How many trees did you hack and slash? How many innocuous looking mushrooms did you turn upside down? Hmmm?

Title: Gender Census 2024. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Two boxes, one green malachite with a Venus symbol on it, one pink rhodochrosite with a Mars symbol on it.

The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June 2024!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Well how about that earthquake? (I’m in eastern MA)

Cough medicine, apparently.

…wat.

No no no no no no no that’s not how any of this works, do not let Covid positive kids go to class. They have to eat lunch with all the other kids. This is a catastrophe.

Whuff.

Did you know that no one can stop you from just making things?

Klaus and Hazel did a good job supervising the assembly of my new Luggable XL from @cleanairkits.bsky.social

Time for some assembly fun with @cleanairkits.bsky.social

You know what’s definitely more important than your family members’ health? Eating at your company Christmas party, not wearing a mask to your college finals, and having jobs and lives that require being in the general public for most of the day.

Blueair classic 200/300 series has a knob. They’re spendy though. I wonder if @cleanairkits.bsky.social has anything with cat resistant switches?

If your holiday plans are important to you, now and the next few weeks would be a really good time to be extra careful when indoors around others. Covid rates are high and rising and flu and RSV are up there too.

An honest and sincere “Fuck You” to everyone who will miss their “dear” family member so much at the holiday gatherings but who cannot be arsed to mildly inconvenience themselves to keep that family member safe. #yesthispostisaboutmasking

i'm so tired of living in a time in which nothing works and everything is deeply conservative

"People are too tired to mask" is a BS excuse for inaction.

You can require masks. You can distribute free N95 masks. You can educate people that COVID is airborne.

Unless you are doing all of these things, you have no right to say "people are tired." The fault is yours.

the social value of punching nazis is indisputable but in situations where you can't punch the nazi (e.g. the nazi is a cop, and another cop is watching), it's fine to give nazis bad directions, charge nazis double, bag nazi groceries with the eggs underneath the beer, etc. do what you can.

woman walking outside holding a disco ball with chickens running by her, text reads i got my chickens a disco ball… because i recently learned about “chicken enrichment” (tiktok @thepricklypear)

woman putting up a disco wall in a chicken coop, text reads giving chickens/birds extra stimulation to keep them happy, healthy, and entertained. second photo: woman raising hands to the chickens, text reads a friend said her chickens produced so many more eggs after she installed a disco ball (tiktok @thepricklypear)

photo of chickens in a coop with disco ball reflections around them, text reads they were confused at first second photo of a goose looking up at the lights with mouth open, text reads but my goose was mesmerized heart eyes emoji (tiktok @thepricklypear)

photo of chickens in a coop with disco ball reflections around them, text reads they all locked it heart eyes emoji second photo is the same but all chickens are looking at the camera (tiktok @thepricklypear)

for those of you who could use a boost this morning:

know there is now a wholesome trend of people installing disco balls inside of their chicken coops, for the sole purpose of “chicken enrichment”

& these chickens are LOVING it, producing more eggs, which is a sign they’re much happier ✨
