one can only hope, if for no one else than @atrupar.com and everyone else watching it.

A partially blacked out rejection letter. The only words you can see say “Dear M, Thank you for sending in your brief essay “That split screen moment” blessed a large number of excellent submissions. Sincerely, The Editors”

A long, long time ago. On a website far, far away, we did rejection letter poetry. Let’s play the game again! #writingcommunity #writers

Forget swimming with dolphins, I want to swim with murder monster floaty boaty!

Done. And thank you.

They’re going to give themselves medals for this, aren’t they? Goddamn this makes me angry!!!

That’s why we operate on Hammy Standard time. This is in our own defense. Who can say no to this distinguished gentleman?

@ologies.bsky.social I wanted to THANK YOU for the episode on MS. Both of my parents have primary progressive MS. They’ve each had it for 40-something years, dad is 80, mom is 77. I’m 50 and dad’s primary caregiver. I’m an armchair expert, but still learned a lot. Hugs to you, Ali, and Fancy Nancy!

The image says “Oh to be a gremlin child again. Covered in grass stains and grazes, hair unbrushed with daisies in the knots, no concept of my own physicality, half way up a tree and eating an apple around my missing tooth. To be unabashedly ugly, to be healthy and hearty and lean and covered in bruises and full of love and sun warmed strawberries. To feel time stretch forever, only flying when I fall into books. To love summer once more, and her insects and sweat.

It’s only a legal question if you have a legal system.

Fuck you, you fucking fucks. I dissent.

I'm doing this with the BEST HELP POSSIBLE. It's still a lot. Just wanted to say thank you for this.

I am taking care of my dad, with fantastic help from the VA. The VA pays me, as his caregiver. They also pay for CNAs to come to the house during the day (I'm the emergency night shift). He is 100% disabled, either in a hospital bed or an electric wheelchair. I've been doing this since 2010.

Me too, windshield bird shit. Me too.

I am! And I don’t post often. No worries!

Ha!! Of course she did.

She is adorable!!!

This is my wee Scottish Terrier Hammy MacBaconfat.

Great sign in Charlotte today! @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

There is no magic Constitution Fairy that’s going to come down and turn Little Bunny Foo Foo into a goon for bopping field mice on the head.
