I think that in terms of character richness, narrative pacing, and full use of the ensemble, that was the best season of Bridgerton yet. #benophie

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Everyone is just trying live our lives—watch our little stories, have our little snacks—and these motherfuckers are doing absolutely everything possible to put an end to that.

people just want to live their damn lives free from all this monstrous shit

me needing romantacy audiobooks to survive the horrors puts my grandma's soap operas in a whole new light lol

i always read a lot of fantasy but it's much more key to mental health these days

Bluesky is not the commons. Twitter is not the commons. You can’t have a privately held commons. That’s not what words mean

Finance guy’s guest op-ed in the local gazette: We don’t need libraries, we have Amazon

anyone with a pulse: LIBRARIES ARE FREE YOU DORK

me, cataloger: Amazon’s uncontrolled keyword search interface is HORRIBLE at supporting the core user tasks of Finding, Identifying, and Selecting 📚

We cannot separate the history of the nation from the history of slavery.

George Washington was an enslaver. As President he brought enslaved people to Philadelphia, and rotated them out to evade a Pennsylvania law that promised emancipation after six months in the state. /1

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

I just feel warm and fuzzy knowing this performance pisses all the right people off

YES THEY DID. I've only seen it mentioned as part of the set for Donwell Abbey in 2020's Emma but I can't help but see it as Cleveland.

this is so joyful and beautiful, like how could you look at this and hate it

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Goodnight, friends.

I'm thankful that Catherine O'Hara had a chance to bring some peach crabapple to our Riesling Rioja.

I love you.

museums are cool because the people who work there are like look at this neat thing and you're like wow that is neat and you just do it over and over again until it is time to go

now I have to return to our nations capital, where just existing is doomscrolling

I keep thinking about the toxic, pervasive mythology of "rugged individualism" as a driving force in American culture, and how the collective efforts in the Twin Cities right now are proof that the only way through hard times is together, as a community.

You cannot value the librarian code of ethics while also being pro-genAI. GenAI is a direct violation of our code of ethics.

I like to think that he saw them at a truck stop and couldn't resist.

film bros stop misappropriating genre terms challege: impossible

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Talking to somebody yesterday about a Cdn oral history archive that disappeared - turns out LLMs were scraping it so much it crashed their servers so it’s offline. Vile vulture technology.

When you see this, post an image from your gallery describing your mental health.

there’s an interesting thing we’ve done in our social circle as a result of Covid which is: now we let people know before social activities if anyone has any symptoms of anything potentially contagious, so everyone can make their own risk assessment

Alice Wong, Presente. Thank you for everything.

Alice Wong, disability activist and luminary, dies at 51 - The Sick Times Alice Wong platformed and uplifted people with Long COVID in her final chapter as a lifelong disability advocate and storyteller.

Here is an obituary for Alice Wong from The Sick Times, a publication aligned with disability rights and disability activism, if you are looking for an alternative to reading the nyt one: thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

Oh, man. So saddening 💔

Alice was a wonderful disability activist and writer.

I was always moved that deliberately included those of us w/ post-infectious illnesses.

As we say in Greek, may her memory be eternal 💙🕯️
