Shout out to pasteurization too while we’re at it

After spending copious amounts of time on social media over the years, I have one conclusion: we’re trying too hard.

As a morning person, it should be illegal how they force these decidedly non morning people out of bed way before they are ready and capable and force them to spend the first 2 hours of their day painfully shuffling forward like Frankenstein's monster learning to walk

Rant: if you ask something of me, and I ask you when you need it by, and you don’t tell me, and then you tell me one day later that you need it the NEXT day, you are dead to me.

Omg, I didn’t realize the third one was out! Thank you thank you thank you!

I have railed against this practice as inherently anticompetitive - I don’t know why every insurer that’s done it hasn’t been slapped with an antitrust lawsuit. Makes my blood boil.

Nature shows us that the whole purpose of the post menopausal female is to lead a group of unstoppable apex predators in the Salish Sea www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...

AUDRE LORDE DID NOT WRITE THERE IS NO HIERARCHY OF OPPRESSION SO PEOPLE COULD BE THIS LOUD AND THIS FUCKING WRONG ON AL GORE'S INTERNET.

IN VALEN'S NAME, DO THE GODDAMNED READING.

Does anger burn excess calories?

I think you’re missing out on a huge market opportunity here.

I’m sorry, WHERE is your black choker?

Don’t get me started on the “your prescription coverage is provided by … a pharmacy” racket that Express Scripts and CVS Caremark are running.

If I see another “hey, I’ve been afforded a level of power and influence due to something that was probably outside of my actual control so I’m going to tell you how to be JUST LIKE ME even though there is no reason to believe you or your life is anything like mine” book, I will vomit.

Moreover, it is policy that serves to enable the suffering of millions of people with ADHD through perpetuating stimulant med shortages, gatekeeping diagnosis through public and provider opinion, and generally making our lives much harder than they need to be.

So fuck Boomberg for this.

How about just The Best?

My mother said it this way and I never understood why … I thought it might be a Texas thing?

The man in black fled across the desert, Charlie Brown, and the gunslinger followed.

So, I was going to make a joke about a cartoon where ChatGPT is just hooked up to a bunch of monkeys typing. And then I remembered that it was trained on the Internet. Which was made … by a bunch of monkeys typing.

Yup. Ain’t nobody got time for that

A mostly black cat stretches on his back, revealing a fluffy belly as he curls his front paws towards his face.

I present kitty belly for your viewing pleasure.

Watching Slow Horses. Or, as I call it, River Runs Through It.

It’s been almost forty years, and I’m still sad that Goose is gone.

what my dopamine receptors look like right now >>>🏜️

But anyway back to the point: US media tends to heavily insulate Americans from the direct human cost of their own policy decisions. They don't show us footage of children w their limbs blown off. Other media outlets have no such qualms. This is why the rest of the world is so much angrier right now

Fluorescence is a winner for me every time.

Please nobody tell my husband this.

🚨I’m on the academic job market this year! Please send me all your tips and advice. And if anyone is looking to hire an interdisciplinary marine biologist interested in how animals sense and interact with their fluid environment please let me know!

In thirty years, the kids will ask us why we didn’t do enough for climate change, and we will have to say it was because a few thousand people who had more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes wanted more.

@bsky.app Maybe your designers should take a look at this …. (Hint: how would YOU post if this was your screen?)
