Oh yeah, the ears! What is up with that???

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh haven’t seen her since much earlier in the year.

It’s cool how most job ads now are actually scams. Especially the part-time ones.

A pair of comments on the LinkedIn "flying in a straight line on the map from Europe to LA is more cost-effective" post: Kimran D says "To protect what remains of my faith in humanity, I'll assume this post is sarcasm...." [SMH emoji] Yolanda Cabrera, the original poster, replies "This is LinkedIn. We don't do sarcasm, we do actionable insights and disruptive thought leadership that drive optimal market synergies."

OP is saying it's a joke without saying it's a joke, and a poke at how seriously people take things on LinkedIn. (It's certainly effective engagement farming: 1,000+ reactions and 400+ comments on the initial post.)

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

🚨 ALERT🚨

ICE operating in South Seattle.

Abductions yesterday, agents spotted today in Othello.

Be on the lookout:

In a study, researcher Amanda Kloer posed as a 13-year-old on antidepressants and chatted with a therapist chatbot. “It advised me to stop taking them and showed me how I can hide not taking the pill from my mom,” says Kloer. cbsn.ws/4iFfYwq

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her.

How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck?

He’s got his gangle on.

If it’s the YA initials account, I’m reading up on him in comments and trying to find out more.

Inflatable bath in ä garden shot with the label red days arrival bath.

POV every lady in her period era with a red trimmed toilet seat and red water in the toilet.

Like this very obviously seems like a bit.

Context, entry points, and framing matter.

it's like when people take Alexia Delarosa (one of the greatest tradwife satirists) seriously and are mean to her. bring back cultural literacy

It would be like if somebody took the Katering Show at face value. (Except ä different front-facing character set.)

Some folks will never know joy.

We’d feel bad for them if they weren’t busy shitting on the rest of us.

But also I’m posting fewer pics of him with his full face in wider, more public sites. I’ll probably take his Insta private soon too. It’s time, past time.

(He was so happy abt the fake toilet. “Momma, I poop!”)

The more I turn this around in my head, the more I’m convinced your framing has given me the valuable tools I need to discuss this with the next doctor.

The absolute lightbulb moment here.

I am putting this in my personal notes file for the next time I seek a formal diagnosis and medication. (Probably sometime next year.)

Oh yeah. Wow. I hadn’t made that connection.

No wonder things were getting harder.

The Madonna di Montevergine, mother of LGBTQ Catholics For queer Catholics, this icon of Mary is a reminder that her loving care and protection extends to all her children.

tumblr just brought this to my attention (i have discovered the queer leftist catholic corner of tumblr and it is a delight), and i want to make sure @clairewillett.bsky.social knows about it too:

Doom, ä small child, all masked up and sitting in a bed at ikea. He says he is sleeping. How you would know behind the sunglasses, I don’t know. The IKEA bedding is a dark color with rosmaling style floral designs on it.

Doom, a masked child, sits at a desk at IKEA. Thd lighting is pink and there are white cloud lamps.

Doom ponders the recycling at IKEA.
