Current stage in the moving process: please toss everything I own into the sea 🌊

I feel like I need to reply to you everywhere I see this--extra well wishes going into the universe for you, I guess.

You make the world a better place. It's such a wonder that we live in a time when science can help you be here longer, with even more vim & vigor :)

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

okay this made me lol

Thirteen mini skeins of yarn in rich jewel tones. Five photos of abstract paintings that were used as inspiration for the colors frame the left and bottom sides of the yarn photo.

I, uh, paid $300 for 25 mini skeins of yarn this year 🙈

I like this one because 1) I'm picky about color; they posted pics of both complete sets on their website (behind a spoiler notice) and 2) I've used this yarn base for several projects and know how it behaves.

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

This is such a kind way of phrasing it.

I've been trying to get people to realize this for months now, especially with regard to corporate leaders' continual bootlicking.

We've crossed the line into full-blown fascism. If you're not against them, you're with them.

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

I think he thinks he's playing 3D chess when he's actually getting trounced at checkers

he's such a ghoul

Arizona! Our senators will absolutely cave on this if we don't speak up. Give them a quick call:

Gallego: 202-224-4521
Kelly: 202-224-2235

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Were I still shopping at Target, this would make me stop.

They're retail workers, not paid actors.

The LLM thing is remarkable because if anyone was like "I never went to medical school anyway here's my magic anti disease device pls give 100 billion" they'd be laughed out the room or beaten with sticks but we're supposed to let guys who never read a book hand us an app claiming it'll write them

couldn't be me researching where to get bases to start dying my own yarn

So, we don’t have a functioning government, just That Guy; the Speaker has never read a newspaper or seen anything; costs are skyrocketing; holiday travel is screwed; and That Other Guy is getting a trillion dollar payday, but it’s women who are ruining the workplace.

Did I get that right.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Every personality trait rich people are lauded for is also a symptom of sociopathy.

McConnell orders the government to fully fund SNAP benefits for November immediately via TRO—written order to come.

Any motion for a stay is denied. The Court will stand adjourned.

Wow.

I want it 😭

The Lego Icons Star Trek: The Next Generation USS Enterprise-D ($400, 3,600 pieces) will be available on November 28.

Get the Harry Potter books from a thrift store. Buy stickers and clothing from independent etsy sellers. Look for LEGO sets on Marketplace.

Or find new fantasy worlds to engage your sense of wonder and whimsy.

An email from Audible announcing a full cast recording of the first Harry Potter book. The subject of the email says, "It's here! Harry Potter like you've never heard it before."

...and I never will.

Rowling has said that she thinks royalty money rolling into her bank account is a sign that people support her violently transphobic agenda.

If you cannot disengage from Harry Potter, please at least commit to not buying new, licensed products from the HP universe.

So, so many

I agree with a lot of this assessment.

I'm largely dissatisfied with Senator Kelly's representation (he's one of my senators); I hope that this year's election will help push him to make a stronger stand than he has thus far.

Of course, the main difference is that they were mad that Biden still has a bit of a stutter. Trump is literally talking about the difficulty of dementia screenings.

I remember how I looked at people who said, and I quote, "Joe Biden has dementia; it's criminal for Jill to force him into the presidency."

Now I'm like, "It seems like there's credible evidence that Trump has dementia."

I keep thinking about how little I thought of the Biden conspiracy theorists.
