Thank you! I am in the US and will definitely buy two copies if able 🍄

Thank you, was going to try it again but glad I don’t have to!

These puppy costumes are getting me through bsky.app/profile/blue...

You don't have to swallow frogs Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.

I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.

Worked in a biochemistry lab for a long time and it drives me nuts now to see people wearing nitrile gloves in other settings and touching everything including their face. Always assume the gloves have gotten something bad on them! That’s why you’re wearing them!

Present tense even!

And they didn’t wait for the speed to ramp up so the best time for rider safety as well

Exactly!

I don’t want to level up at all because I’ll be forced to play the least fun content in order to make any more progress!!

Bird: “Quit peeping on me, pervert!! <peck, peck>”

Used to be that after a release, the content was harder and the reward for slogging through this less fun period was increasing power so everything got easier. Eventually we could play everything OP which is much more fun. Now everything is scaled and it never gets fun and leveling seems pointless

Just saying what everyone was thinking 😂

The horror movie Dead Mail does this I think and is great!

Nothing fills me with dread quite like the “let’s go around the table and say what we’re thankful for!” thing my family does at thanksgiving

This seems like a useful guide bskyinfo.com/guides/advan...

i understand why so many people are ignorant about adoption, adoptees are like 1 to 3% of the population. what i don't get is why they're so confident they aren't, to the point of shouting down actual adoptees constantly. 🥚

i think that anyone with children who defends #adoption on the grounds that adoptees enjoy better lives with their adopters than in their original families and communities should reflect on where & to whom they should have relinquished their own children. shouldn’t we pursue full-scale optimization?

Waited a couple days to block Brian in case he came back with more gems but luckily there’s always a new person willing to jump in 🫠

Love the book this is based on and the adaptation was great!

Loved this in the TdF!

If anything, it's the other way around. Adoptees literally have the least amount of power in the euphemistically named "adoption triad." Everything was done to us without our consent.

I love it when the big moments in my life are about my husband’s job

The Pandemic Has Been a Portal (for a few of us) It's true that most people keep choosing "normalcy". But the COVID conscious community is showing us a radical new way forward, that centers care

In 2020, Arundhati Roy wrote a gorgeous, prescient essay called “The Pandemic is a Portal”. In this piece, I discuss who actually walked through it: the COVID conscious community, and why I’m proud to be a part of it.

The little twerps just kept jumping in and realizing after that there was no exit 😂
