Wen!

One of the best things you can do for yourself is embrace the fact that some things you like aren't very good and may even be trash

If an evil billionaire intent on destroying the planet for profit is trying to convince you that trans people are your problem... and you believe it...

Then your problem isn't trans people.

It's you, kiddo.

It's always been you.

All going really well

As a Sherlock Holmes fan since childhood and a lover of old-timey sci-fi, @docjwatsonmd.bsky.social just made me cry genuine tears of joy with their Mazarine Stone adaptation. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you.

The duality of Wen:

vaccines are one of humanity's greatest inventions, they save lives, changed the world, those who dare call them poison could not be more wrong

BREAKING: Israeli Forces Kill 12-Year-Old Eyewitness to Rafah Paramedic Massacre

Mohammed Bardawil, 12, was shot and killed by Israeli forces in the Mawasi area of Gaza this week.

I wouldn't call it good but it was surprisingly heartfelt and sincere, and it got right that there were mirrors in Mesoamerica, down to the detail that they were present in Teotihuacan. Would've been a fun book to read as a kid.

They went off with the papyrus LMAO

Okay some era-typical racism

(it was 2004 and referring to the Egyptians that built the pyramides as primitives who did not know engineering was a fairly common take)

Am I going to watch a whole hour and a half of a direct-to-tv movie with Papyrus font and a $5 budget just so I can understand the beginning of The Librarians just so I can see more Noah Wyle stuff?

I just might.

'Bone collector' caterpillar wears dead insect body parts as disguise

Carnivorous "bone collector" caterpillar camouflages itself with dead insects so it can live safely alongside spiders, stalking their webs and stealing their prey. Oh, and it’s also a cannibal

It's been one of those weeks where nothing too big happened but many little but important things went wrong together and I'm just exhausted and a bit sad since things seem to keep going wrong. Just one of those weeks.

I just got a most anticipate gift for myself and immediate ruined it and now I feel terrible this is why I can't never have nice things 😭😭😭

The man sitting next to me on the Metro is reading a printout of the "Tariff" Wikipedia page

few things radicalize me more than seeing the amount of trash you can buy in any of those gringo outlets. It's hard to imagine so many resources go into producing bullshit.

and that's why they bank so hard on "you can't even define it" oh brother I CAN, on your terms. you just hate what it means for you and try to make women responsible for the shortsighted way in which YOU defined yourself based on what you're not 6/6

on everyone knowing what a man is so they can be treated differently to women. when women start gaining equality, men become afraid they can be treated like women, too. it already sort of happens when a man is not "man enough." they fear it. the patriarchy subsists on fear of punishment, i think 5/

and break those protocols and boundaries, men go apeshit because then the definition of woman gets murkier and murkier, which, by their own standards, means that the definition of man ALSO gets murkier and murkier. it terrifies them because their power depends exclusively 4/
