A mug depicting KC Green's This Is Fine dog comic, but tragically faded

I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

There’s no excuse for your random cis friends and family not to understand this as an obsessive hate campaign by lying bigots. Whatever anyone’s opinion on trans people, even the most ardent lunatic cannot deny the existence of people who transitioned decades ago and have yet to ‘get over it’.

DEAR TRANS KIDS, THIS WORLD IS BETTER WITH YOu IN IT AND YOU AR E WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

It's just really really pitiful

Ugh yeah and like. This is the kind of entitled misogynistic dipshit behaviour that would call a beating upon ye if attempted in a real world space; these people are such cowards

And you can't lock a skeet as unsaveable, either, which would help a lot!

Yep! We're going to show not just the author, but everyone who views the skeet, how many times it has been saved; but not by who" is just fucking baffling and it's so easy to harass specifically people who go "i don't like when people save my skeets" for whatever reason

Apollo with the dodgeball of prophecy

Years ago in another life I gave a guest lecture at The Hague warning “AI weapons” could be invoked to remove accountability for war crimes from the chain of command. I said “there are no autonomous weapons, only unsupervised ones,” and sadly it seems I was cooking with that one

It's such a bad decision that saves are half-visible on bsky.

Why is it important to show us how many times a skeet was saved, but not who saved it? If it's intended for private bookmarking, don't tell anyone anything. If it's intended as fully visible tell everyone everything.

The 8am pint, a thing of wonder

I'm the same except I also enjoy playing at mommy. Not interested so much in any older woman I'm with playing mommy for me.

Ava Cordero. She was slandered and subjected to transphobia by the media at large, and the powers that be spiraled us from there to where we are today.

⬇️ very important and relevant thread.

TL;DR: as important as it is to be aware of big events going on in the world, it’s not good to fixate on them to the point of neglecting the wellbeing of others, or yourself.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

i have a story about being shit on during 9/11, the media, & direct care that feels relevant right now:

i was just 9yo at the time.

my family was visiting relatives in new jersey, we had actually visited the towers on 9/9/01 as part of our nyc day trip.

i remember being woken up too early.

1/9 🧵

just fucking do SOMETHING and don’t let the constant stream of atrocities keep you frozen in inaction.

yeah, pay attention to the news, but make sure you know when/how to look away at least long enough to take care of those around you & do what you can to support work that needs doing.

thanks
9/9.

Day 59! Getting it in late today! Today’s oyster!! 🦪🦪🦪

fucking this ⬇️⬇️

i refuse to lose my sense of whimsy completely, even as that’s exponentially harder every fucking hour it seems

made me smile remembering these pics today just for a flash, but that second of joy was everything

they want us hopeless

we must find reasons to smile

world is a fuck

tiddy sprinkles.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

I don't want you dead! she says, calm as the sun.

I want all the people like you to be gone.
I don't want you there in the places I go;
I don't understand, and I don't want to know.

That's worse than you wanting me dead, I replied.

You're overreacting, she cheerfully lied.

thinking about tarnished haloes and pinion feathers that begin to blacken at the tips

This. We’ve had ppl quit this game this year (probably more than I know of) because of the lurk, jerk, and “I still get a reward so why would I ever repost/support you?”mentality. Stop leaving it up to a few good supporters and my fellow SWs to repost. It’s a button, super easy to click.

A worm on the gate at mine. No idea how he got there, but I rescued him.

Day 58! Back on it, shucking my way through this sketchbook! 🦪🦪🦪

Oh darling that suuuucks I hate a leg cramp

I'm convinced that the US political divide is:

People who embrace diversity

People who like diversity but have one or two groups they'd like to eliminate or segregate, as long as it's quiet

People who are pants-pissingly terrified of a world in which everyone isn't identical to them

Oh so the super rich are vast swatges of nectrotizing cancer in the organism of the city? Cool cool cool that's great

In one four-day period in March 2025, engineers logged 205 maintenance calls. Sailors reported working up to 19-hour days to fix leaks and restore suction, with problems in a single head capable of disabling an entire section of the ship. Since 2023, the Navy has carried out at least 10 acid flushes, each costing about $400,000, though the procedure cannot be performed while the carrier is underway.

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize
