Today’s inspirational message:

Someone knew exactly what they were doing and I’m here for it.

The eclipse at its fullest Los Angeles extent

Imagine your own fucking outlet, the one you literally died working for, passive voicing your own murder.

This so so cool.

The shapes of the shadows that eclipses create are my favourite part! I got a fun photo of dappled sun in a tree’s shadow once when there was a partial eclipse on a sunny day.

Or – and hear me out here – the bat’leth is 1.66 Banana Murrays long.

Oh come on! So nostalgic! 💀

Entrapment!

Fully a mood. 😵‍💫

[REDACTED]!!! (Me yelling your real name at my phone and cackling.) 😂

I’m wheezing. 😭

I…… wow.

WOW.

Honestly, this feels like a mood.

Ok, there’s SO MUCH going on, but I somehow managed to notice that the product’s name uses a faux Disney typeface (probably from dafont) that can’t possibly be legal. 😂

The fact that this is real packaging! 😂 The 2001 Geocities description is 🤌.

😂 what’s Halloween without some genuine terror?

Replying because I’m gonna be in DC next week and want to be able to find this thread again.

We, as a society, have given the morning people far too much power

NYT screenshot: One day earlier, in a neighboring state, another couple making a politically motivated move had a different flag on display — a Pride flag on a T-shirt. Jennie and Jeff Noble were packing their possessions into a 26-foot U-Haul truck in suburban Iowa. Ms. Noble, 37, who was wearing the Pride T-shirt, and her husband were leaving Iowa for Minnesota. Their only child, Julien, came out as transgender at age 11. Now 16, Julien uses prescription testosterone. After Iowa banned gender-affirming medical care for minors, criminalizing their son’s treatments, the Nobles — lifelong Iowans — concluded they had to get out.

The Huckins family and the Noble family have not met, yet their journeys — from blue Oregon to red Missouri, and from red Iowa to blue Minnesota — mirror each other, unfolding only five weeks apart this spring. One family relocated because of a single issue — restrictions on transgender rights — while the other believed a broad swath of progressive policies had degraded their quality of life. But both families used strikingly similar language to describe their main concern: the need for personal safety.

*extremely* telling that the NYT frames a family leaving a state because their trans son literally could not get the medical care he needed as a "politically motivated move" and an abstract "issue" rather than one connected to their child's intrinsic humanity www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...

Any fanbase that still does the Chop in 2023 CE does not deserve to see wins.

Your work is an act of service to your community, Justin. I eagerly await results in re both donuts and revisited parks.

Wait a minute -

I knew I recognized it!

Trump Reaches A Fateful Crossroads We should welcome it, but acknowledge the peril

Something important dawned on me this week: Trump’s easy impunity is at an end, and not in the Mueller Is Coming, #resistance sense, but in the “he knows he’s trapped and knifed McCarthy for protection” sense. www.offmessage.net/p/trump-reac...

A dinosaur marches outside of Kaiser facility holding a Kaiser put Patients First sign

Strike dinosaur? Strike dinosaur.

Ahh, fair enough. I guess I’ve just heard far too many people ask the question seriously that my brain starts to melt before I have time to parse the sarcasm/joke levels.

So I was just on TMZ Live talking about Drew Barrymore's writers refusing to return to the show and how this is a demonstration of the power and confidence built when people participate in strikes. Glad I was able to hit all the points I wanted.

This. It makes my brain hurt because it starts out acknowledging the lack of a binary and then poses a binary question. I’m happen to be cis but I’m neither.

Effective wayfinding design is a grossly underappreciated art. If it’s great, it’s almost entirely overlooked because everyone just gets where they need to go. And I love that.
