I really do feel like the description of my research changes based on the perspective of the reader. I could frame myself as a cultural anthropologist or a media ethnographer or a historiographer of popular culture.

Idk I just like stories and what they say about communities.

‘No historical precedent’

Historians:

I think I did have this as a kid! I feel like the fire department may have visited our school and had a Faire in the gym or something. I definitely remember practicing “stop, drop, and roll”

Plus I think PSAs during after school cartoons

My brain parsed this as you asserting that this era of bluesky is its early modern period and that set my little brain bunnies off down an interesting path

A pair of Eurasian blackbirds are nesting in my neighbor’s wall for what I believe to be the third year in a row.

I’ve told them about it both verbally and by note.

🤷🏽‍♀️

I enjoy watching them.

Very gentle hugs! 🫂

That alliteration could not have been an accident

I will bet any amount of money that this war is actually happening because orangey gave them some kind of “do x or we’ll bomb the shit out of you” and Iran was like “you can’t do that, it’s against your own laws” and he’s like “ohhoho little do you know idgaf”

This International Women's Day I'd like to shout out some of the amazing ladies in the #ttrpg sphere and their incredible creations 💕

I tried to listen to Tune In radio on the way from dropping off my son at daycare. About 2mi away from my house.

There were SEVEN ADS in a row.

By the time it got to the content I heard ~ 3s of the orange oligarch mumbling at a press conference before pulling into my driveway.

Infuriating.

lol sure if you’re interested! If not, it’s nbd. :)

Love this! Wish there was another shot from a closer, shallower angle; showing just the petals and concrete. I love textures and the juxtaposition of nature and architecture!

I only got to glance at the first few paragraphs before the paywall came crashing down, but this is all the more reason why we need universal basic income.

UBI would give us the ability to choose our careers based on fit and interest rather than perceived income; which is always in flux.

Is that what it is? A crystal? I have it sitting in some isopropyl alcohol right now to try and get some of the dirt out.

My 6th grade drama class would drop what they were doing everyday at 11:11, clap their hands together and make a wish. I only just now realized there were 11 kids and most of them were 11 years old.

Loved those kids. Hope all their wishes come true.

Right now he’s playing in the sodden backyard — “we live in a bog” I said to hubby about 5m ago — splashing through the puddles trying to bounce a tennis ball in the water.

Annnnd the corgi just joined him. She’s gonna have a belly full of mud. Anyway. This is what it’s all for.

I wanted to be a mom because I wanted to experience pregnancy and motherhood. I wanted to know the sensations and emotions.

My son is 2.5 now, starting to have conversations and I gotta say

The whole shebang lives up to the hype.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

Small Rock held between thumb and forefinger, beige in color with variations, hexagonal pattern on surface. Surface area roughly the size of a nickel

Side view of the rock shows the hexagonal pattern continues in columns straight through. I. E. The surface shown in other images is a slice of the hexagonal tubes

Found a cool rock!

Pretty sure it’s a Catan game that they were going to pick up where they left off.

Who on earth is saying that?!?

OMFG.

Does he not realize that dystopian science fiction is telling us what NOT to do?!

I talked about it when it was first announced and now it's here!

1439 games for a $10 minimum? Proceeds going to help victims of ICE in Minnesota? How could you not, babies?

I'm looking forward to digging into this over the course of the week.

Minneapolis City Council passes eviction notice extension from 30 days to 60. Same margin as in committee 7-5-1. Mayoral veto surely coming, and the votes aren't there to override it.

Voting no: Rainville, Vetaw, Warren, Shaffer, Palmisano
