He's not even a Kirkland Tom Selleck. He's like the foreign-country super-cheapo knockoff of a thing where they have to give it a slightly different name? So he's like ... a Tim Skullneck

The problem with volcanoes is that they look so interesting and they make you want to get really close and touch things that you really, really MUST NOT GET CLOSE TO OR TOUCH

This is unfair to Tom Selleck

Cis people: "You know what would totally make women super safe? If we policed appearance like fuck & subjected anyone who didn't conform to stereotypes to physical inspection of their boobs and genitals."

Trans ppl: "We would strongly suggest no."

Cis ppl: "Only rapists oppose gender policing."

who tf asked for this

idk if I'm more afraid to ask who this is, or more afraid that I can probably figure out who Great Value Tom Selleck is on my own

It's a helluva drug but man, who even agreed to take it the first time? Sure, Grog thinks he's all that, but Grogette knows he broke his entire damn spear just because he got frustrated when he missed the mammoth on the last hunt.

The case was Goodridge v. Dept. of Public Health (440 Mass. 309) and this (screenshot from my and @cosetthetable.bsky.social's wedding program) might be my favorite piece of legal writing anywhere:

"Last year there were ten murders in the NYC subway system, with well over a billion total rides taken. During the same time period, there were 253 traffic fatalities in New York City. One person dead every day and a half. Cars? Those things are fucking dangerous."

KKKaroline is talking about what policy wonks call "institutionalization" — but that word is confusing to Americans. Don't use it.

MESSAGING GUIDANCE:

The Trump Regime is going to ****lock up**** (or in a formal professional context "incarcerate") homeless people, including locking up homeless people on the basis of disability.

idk how cishet men decided their rep was "reason-based thinker, unswayed by emotion" and I also don't understand how anyone, culturally, ever believed it.

The most conflict averse gender lolol

Well the job thing is some bullshit. I'm sorry.

first man to get disowned by both his physical and digital children

so close. been doing the same math. it’s actually E=mc^2 x tMG. multiplying Einstein’s equation by the commonly accepted abbreviation for my band unlocks the energy of people buying our merch, which quantizes the azimuth of us getting paid. the future is amazing

Do you think you'll come back to Boat next year??

Can’t wait for another 15 year old to shove him in a locker and take it away

Laws of Robotics + Oedipus Rex = "giving my AI motherly instincts"

I can't make it, but Oregon friends--y'all should go see Charlie Jane at Powell's on August 20th!

"Bath and Body Works has cut back on scents" should be followed by a DUN-DUNNNN noise

I don't know! I just know there is more than one kind! THERE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE A QUIZ

I miss the boat more and more every... every time I read the news

I have made a HUGE mistake in not getting a Squid Facts shirt

This is the most heartening thing I have read ... in a long time.

An anonymous person has messaged me with the following message "if you start getting a lot more messages to the Squid Facts Hotline from California area codes: that's my fault. I'm using the Squid Facts t-shirt to chat people up in the gay leather bars of San Francisco. it's working better than I expected it to. i'm sorry." and I reply "UM. Hell. Yeah Hell. yeah." and the first um and hell yeah are in all caps and the second just the first hell in the yeah is all caps for the sake of emphasis

God I fucking love tumblr.

Can Boston do "bottles of Sam Adams" or is that too easy? Are we not allowed to use glassware? And if a flammable liquid is involved, are we allowed to light it--
this is why I just shouldn't be unsupervised

Every city choose your anti-fascist culinary projectile challenge.

the clam chowder sourdough bread bowl could do some damage tbh
