Handle me with care in this life

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

This might sound like a hot take but friends: Read books as a hobby this year. It is one of the best things you can do for your brain to grow your thinking and perspectives.
If you want to be anti-consumption get a library card.

Bonus: in places like UK/AoNZ/CA library copies pay authors

Itchio everyone, Gumroad is dead!

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.

He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.

Bring them back!

Still fighting off a cold that has primarily turned into a cough

No fandom is perfect obvs. and y’all gotta stop smoking weed and stealing other people’s balls at the concerts fr 😭 but for the most part, I fw czennies

I’ve seen people argue that nctzens tried to “bury it” but I honestly haven’t seen evidence of that

I think as a collective, everyone decided he no longer deserved a platform or fame unless it was to be known as a criminal and reacted accordingly

So while I’ve been a 127 listener for years, it takes a lot for me to want to get involved in a fandom

Seeing the entire fandom drop him immediately had an impact on me and I respect nctzens so much for that tbh

I’ve been listening to 127 since debut—I’m a gen2 stan, SHINee fan since '09, so I’ve been listening to Kpop broadly for awhile

I’ve seen famous actors and singers do heinous things and still maintain a sizable fanbase

I’ve yapped about this before but I’ll say it again

The way nctzens as a fandom reacted to Taeil’s scandal left a huge impression on me

IDK how to explain it but this weekend made me feel like a kid again and I really needed it

Befriending strangers and decorating top loaders with stickers is peak childhood me, I felt like I found myself again 🥹

Thank you to all the nctzens I met this weekend in San Antonio I love you guys 💚

I saw NCT 127 yesterday!!!!

Madison Beer is set to present the "Billboard Women in Music" awards

aespa, Ángela Aguilar, Erykah Badu, Glorilla, Gracie Abrams, Jennie, Megan Moroney, Meghan Trainor, Muni Long, Tyla, and Laverne Cox set to be awarded honors

A chart called "how to tell a raven from a crow". An illustration shows that the common raven has long, fancy throat feathers, but the American crow has smooth throat feathers. The raven has a wedge-shaped tail and the crow has a fan-shaped tail. The raven croaks, saying "crroak crroak", but the crow caws, saying "caw caw caw". The raven regularly barrel rolls, and is shown doing a fun roll in the sky, with the sound effect whooooosh. The crow less regularly barrel rolls, and it's shown flying awkwardly and saying "Am I doing it now??" while another crow replies "ummm almost".

How to tell a raven from a crow. An older guide I made with Dr Kaeli Swift. And yes that's an aileron roll, not a barrel roll, but only us nerds know that :)

BREAKING: All seven of Elon Musk’s companies — X, xAI, Neuralink, Starlink, the Boring Company, Tesla and SpaceX —have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times.

Does MAGA care to comment?

Seriously, they are doing this. And it sounds like the Trump administration supports it.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Maybe the problem is that democratic voters like democracy

And republican voters, increasingly, do not.

Maybe lots of them voted for Tr*mp because of his anti-democratic leanings, not in spite of them.

Air traffic control is one of the great remaining examples of public goods that mostly still work(s/ed) despite a half century of acid being poured on its foundations from Reagan onward

Starting my ANY VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN IS A VOTE TO BAN ALL ABORTIONS Super PAC

Imagine you're just some 30-something guy who converts to one of the world's major religions and in less than a decade its spiritual leader is rebuking you in front of the entire world

It’s getting dumber.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science | United Nations The purpose of the day is to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls.

Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience!

One obvious thing institutions can do to help reduce the attrition of women in science is to stop hiring men who were fired from their previous institutions for sexual harassment.
