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.

Feel bad for the boring fucks that struggle to watch old sci-fi stories about the future "cause actually that's not how [past year] was", or conversely "why does [future year] have significantly worse tech than we have now?"

Have some whimsy and enjoy things.

Morning.

It’s like. ispy books meets howls moving castle. It’s so beautiful. ❤️

I don't know what to tell you. You can't sit at a piano for the first time ever and play a sonata. You can't pick up a tennis racket for the first time and serve a 110MPH Ace.

You have to fuck up.

You have to be able to handle failing.

You have to love it enough to not get it right and keep on.

me, librarian: I think information should be organized and structured logically so that searches are high in precision and recall

tech industry, 2000: nope, keyword searching and opaque relevance rankings are what you’ll get

…

tech industry, 2026: now you’ll just get fake hallucinatory text

neurodivergents really do the best board game parties, i just played catan for six consecutive hours & im not socially exhausted!

When I was little I thought it was tiny pieces of kitchen sponges. Pretty sure a type of gluten base product though.

i think it sucks that online spaces really dont have safe spaces for kids. BUT we need more public spaces for children, especially ones that dont cost money

children deserve offline spaces and community

parks arent enough, give them a government mandated laser tag pit or smth

Lyonel Baratheon is my fav. 🙂‍↕️

Yah. Leftover curry and rice, grilled on a skillet. Perfection 😩

Iron Man meme, edited, Obadiah Stane yelling, "Your ancestors made timeless art in a cave! With berries and ash!"

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

It was honestly so good. Binged it all in a weekend.

Love this pair of shots in The Thing '82. By now the audience is expecting something to appear in that negative space behind Macready, but it doesn't happen and the scene is allowed to fade out. The scare is delayed for a couple minutes later when Fuchs encounters the jumpscare instead.

Sigh… 😮‍💨

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

@nzjanette.bsky.social more info ❤️

Yeah I watched every angle and then I looked up the federal websites to see what they had to say and they called him a domestic terrorist?!!??? This makes me sick. His name is Alex Pretti. An ICU nurse that helped veterans. We must remember their names.

So far in Minnesota

They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school.

Then Ice kidnapped a five year old.

Then ice kidnapped a two year old

Then border patrol murdered Va nurse.

Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

The problem with being a fan of classic literature is that you end up knowing so many fantastic words that basically never come up in everyday conversation. Do you have any idea how rare it is to get the chance to drop an "illimitable"?

I’m trying to finish this novel, but the next one keeps calling, texting, whispering…

I think I could write a novel just on the ideas I’ve written down for… a novel.

My body is a machine that turns Saturdays into zero words of progress on book chapters

My living room looks so spacious without all the Christmas decor/tree.

I like it and hate it at the same time.

Finally.

Each day since Xmas I have to suppress the desire to write bitter angry vitriol about the situation and the people who root for it.
