this really is what it’s like
Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️
I hope my neighbors can’t hear me say stuff like “who wants to stop being a fuckshit tom cat and come be a little bedtime boy”
the most difficult thing abt this website aside from the time limit is you can't tell someone they're the funniest motherfucker alive
didn't realise how many streams of propaganda were totally out of view for ppl outside their target audience til I visited my grandparents a few yrs ago & their US friends had mailed them Boris Johnson pamphlets. in the mail!! from the US to Australia!!! Boris Johnson!!!! nothing can surprise me now
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
my cat is viciously defending... my bed... from me...?
I'm the type of goon that wisecracks at the prisoner over my shoulder and then turns my head back directly into the fist of the rescue party
1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people.
This time, it comes from Jesse Singal.
I fact check it in my latest piece.

I met someone who was really into some kinda therapy that recovers memory from past lives, which at least seems like it might be fun for the person experiencing it
⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.
didn't get up close but it looked like it might be a white dude as well...
a very merry #stophelping to the guy at the rally with the "Israelis are not Israelites but Palestinian Arabs are" sign. is he accepting constructive criticism at this time etc
Hurriedly retitling my script about the Defenestration of Prague to “Yeeted Rivalry”

the tattoo cover up alone probably makes this one mine also. ow
I need your help you handsome and gorgeous lot. A friend of mine is an autistic adult & PhD student in Public Health at Georgia State University. She has developed a new adult autism screening tool with another autistic adult, Dorothy Ackland.
tho to be fair thinking about it wouldn't necessarily make the intersection less awkward - like when people who write omegaverse discover that intersex people exist it can really go either way.
oh I'm aware, I wasn't talking about that - I mean the stuff of pure fantasy where it doesn't even occur to people that there's a less sexy real life equivalent. As per my original comment, a surprising number of people don't think very hard about their kinks.

bus drivers over here go on strike by turning off the payment machines, so the buses still run but they don't make anyone money

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.
I was falling over laughing reading this one, highly worth your time.
feeling lost alone & hopeless at the prospect of being without AO3 for 15 hours? don’t despair- there’s another highly addictive website out there just waiting for you. it’s got heated rivalries. it’s got behavior: mating. and so much more.
that’s right. it’s iNaturalist.
