I don’t normally take photos with cosplayers or characters, but I couldn’t pass up Neel. I actually shrieked his name when I saw him. #skeletoncrew #starwarscelebrationjapan

Back when I waited tables, I was once tipped with religious propaganda, so this doesn’t seem like a stretch to me.

I also once got a tip that consisted of tickets to a frat party that had already happened.

It sucks that your students did this, but I think it’s rad you have that policy. FAFO.

Stop letting unfunny men tell you there’s something wrong with you for not getting their “jokes”. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use “it was a joke” for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.

Ahhh the nazi salute on national television. Right on schedule I suppose.

Exactly what you’d want to do when Bird Flu is a thing.

I spent this afternoon taking a stained glass workshop where I got to make a portrait of one of our cats. It was super fun, and while I may have a lot to learn, I am still happy with the results!

This guy’s entire schtick is in service of promoting a grifty lifestyle brand, why are people still interviewing him

We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

My husband and I always exchange one gift on Christmas Eve, and this year, he surprised me with a ring made from a 1950s pattern Disneyland souvenir spoon. It was something I sent him months ago, and he managed to snag it before it sold - the rings are hard to come by, as the spoons are rare!

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine
