A cartoony infographic with the text BI REMINDER Bisexual women are still bi even if they're dating men Bisexual men exist, and they're not "just gay" Ace/Aro bisexuals, & Nonbinary bisexuals exist Sexual orientation is about attraction, not action Bisexuals dont need to have dated all the genders/gender identities they re attracted to - to know they re attracted to them @CapriCampeau

*is visible*

Happy Bi visibility day 💖

Sending love to anyone new to being open about their Bi identity, to those who have been out for ages, and to those unable to be openly Bi. You are all part of our beautiful community 💕

Nail match vibes.

Trump attacks Tylenol as officials unveil highly contentious conclusions on autism President says acetaminophen – also known as paracetamol - increases risk when taken by pregnant women, assertion contradicted by research

Please know that this is Trump scaremongering.

There is no good scientific evidence linking paracetamol (Tylenol) to autism.

A 2024 Swedish study of 2.4 million births found no relationship whatsoever between exposure to paracetamol in utero & subsequent autism.

for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

Editing #Wikipedia is not just all about creating new articles. There's lots other other ways you can contribute and @hildabast.bsky.social shows you how.

I had never really thought about the fact that The Lord of the Rings is the 500,000+ word version of “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house” but here’s the explanation.

Seconding entirely what Dr S has said here, very wisely. It really is all broken 🚮

'Got up to seize the day with my head in my hands feeling strange' is a devastatingly good description of a particular kind of anxiety. One of my favourites for the 'bad mentals' days.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Why do I see donation banners on Wikipedia You may have seen some fundraising banners on Wikipedia and be wondering - what are these about?

A nice explainer from @wmau.bsky.social about Wikipedia’s annual fundraising drive. Because the site runs no ads, it’s completely dependent on donations. wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Why_do_...

Coming out the other end of some bad mental health/full moon intensity 🌕 to say I've found the perfect decaf tea and it is Brew Tea Co, I will be taking no questions at this time 🫖✅💙

Would view.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

A red rectangle with a white box at the top left reading “IN THE PRESS.” Centered on the image is a quote: “When more people from more geographies and backgrounds contribute, knowledge gaps are closed.” – Rebecca MacKinnon, Vice President of Global Advocacy at the Wikimedia Foundation, via Georgetown University’s MDI

Only 13% of Wikipedia editors are women, and just 19% of content is about women. In a feature by Georgetown University’s Massive Data Institute, our VP of Global Advocacy, Rebecca MacKinnon, explores how community and participation can help close the gap. ➡️ mdi.georgetown.edu/news/guwikie...
