how do i make something perfect (6/13/2017)

“Tristan’s words haunt me: Jonathan “was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.”

If that isn’t a hate crime, what is?”

It’s actually a testament to Bluesky’s lack of an algorithm that I’ve never heard of Texas Paul before today.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second:

one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable

that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

Everything’s coolio

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Last week I caught some of the most phenomenal events in the sky.
These sprites were so strong and so close that their colors reached maximum intensity from my vantage point.
The pink, purple, and blue colors at the lower 40-50km altitude are where the air is denser, meaning where molecules

How many times did we fucking tell you. You gave up on wearing masks. You let them demonize masks. So they got to write the rules. And the rules are cops “discretion” is that disabled people should be arrested. Because when ableds get to decide who is actually disabled, we lose. Every time.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name.

This is your legacy!

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Screenshot of a list of the 27 specific grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 16 of them in whole or in part, highlighted in yellow and listed below: "1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. 3. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither [Partial] 4. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. 5. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 6. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 7. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 8. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 9. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 10. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 11. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 12. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 13. [Partial], abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 14. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 15. [Partial], and destroyed the lives of our people. 16. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us [Partial]"

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump has committed at least 16 of those same offenses.

A flat, colorful poster that reads "Avert Catastrophe! Home is where your cat should be"

Stop!! Before replying, did you know: • that sometimes people online use words to express irony? • that people tell jokes on here? • that the intention of the post you're replying to may in fact be the exact same as the one you're about to type as a correction? • that nobody asked you anyway?

I had >100k followers and (pre-Musk) verification on Twitter. I had almost no engagement with my posts by the time I deleted my account. There was nothing to keep me there even if it wasn't a values issue. The subsequent changes to moderation plus AI-enabled harassment are also not selling points.

Long dark green shrimp with a flattened tail and one monstrous claw and another smaller one but still large for a shrimp.

Closer shot of the creature's face and giant claw, peeking above the surface of the pool
