sometimes, if you’re up early enough, you can hear them turn the birds on

These men are a threat to the long term survival of all life on earth

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

build these. i'm not joking. the more I read history the more I read how often hiding spaces save lives.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

Huh. I think I've only had one dream about my teeth falling out, but I regularly dream about frightening water (tidal waves, sinking boats, sharks, crocodiles—I have night terrors most nights).

A reminder of one of the loveliest pairs of siblings in the dictionary: ‘muscle’ and ‘mouse’. To the Roman imagination, the flexed biceps of a (typically naked) athlete resembled a rodent scuttling under the skin. ‘Musculus’, in Latin, means ‘little mouse’.

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

“The SAVE Act will require voters to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections…”

“Only half of Americans hold a valid passport…Birth certificates are also problematic for many married women [whose] name may be different than the name on her birth certificate.”

There must be reckonings.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

More of this. They don't get to compartmentalize their behavior while asking the rest of us to respect their "values"

I'd like to share with you this perfect moss ball 🌿✨

We all know what happened the last time they published a plan. Ignore this at your own peril.

BREAKING: The Trump EPA is about to revoke the scientific finding that underpins all climate regulation.

The agency is walking back the conclusion that greenhouse gases pose a risk to public health.

This will open the door to deregulation, a win for the fossil fuel industry.

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.

This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

do you think frankenstein’s monster ever took an arm off so he could sleep more comfortably on his side

How is it possible that anything about the funding fight does not include at the absolute minimum releasing every child from these concentration camps?

It's genuinely kind of funny that people were mad about Bad Bunny not singing in English when the first song Kid Rock played begins as so:
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy / Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie / Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy / Said the boogie, sai

now that's the power of a union

My ideal version of America is what I saw Bad Bunny encapsulate: multicultural, multigenerational, queer, empathetic, and full of raucous love.

the bushes were people 😂

alexa ai ad: we'll fucking kill you lmao

I need a big tent for when I don't feel good and don't want anybody to look at me

The ring search party feature ain’t nothing but surveillance under the guise of being used for pets. it will be used for people

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

If you needed any more proof that joy is a powerful form of resistance, this was it.

Well, that was a great Super Bowl. I’m glad Bad Bunny won.
