My wife just said “oh your lipstick’s a bit smudged” and then promptly wiped off my highlighter
I’m guessing this is about American blueberries, which are abhorrent. European blueberries on the other hand are delicious.
As a swede I genuinely thought an odd ad had crept onto my tl for a sec there
Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think
oh so the evil couple won. okay
Seeing american ice dancers make hearts around their flags might honestly make me lose interest in watching the Olympic figure skating
A raccoon draws with its paws on a piece of paper. It says “GENERATIVE A.I. IS PART OF AN AUTHORITARIAN CORPORATOCRATIC EFFORT TO CO-OPT AND COMMODIFY THE CREATIVE PROCESS TO RID THE END RESULT - ART- OF THAT WHICH THREATENS ITS EXISTENCE - HUMANITY -

Notice the framing of sex trafficking victims as “consensual sex workers” and the simultaneous framing of consensual sex workers as “sex trafficking victims”
Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
So much of the hype is blatantly fabricated, too. If it truly were interesting or helpful they wouldn’t have to work so hard to sell people on it. It’s like watching all those desperate cryptobros a couple years back
Hey why do so many of y’all still follow the leaking compost bag that is neil gaiman? Why??
Like they’re BEGGING me. “Just go to Denmark! They’re a lot quicker!” Ma’am I’m a simple peasant, if I want a baby I will simply have to wait in the long queue for my one (1) free baby from the state
Just found out that my (butch) wife has NEVER been enthusiastically encouraged by a medical professional to get pregnant. Wild how different our life experiences are
no amount of CIA propaganda will ever convince me that these people are my enemies
'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once
Trying and consistently failing to not make this chapter on identifying stratigraphy in a wall painting sound horny
The first time I brought my wife to the theatre it was unfortunately a very postmodern & psychosexual production of Salome which scared her off for several years. Today we took a safe bet on a production of Pride and Prejudice which went great right up until mr Collins’ dramatic recorder solo
I think that @tessfowler.bsky.social new 'Take the Fall' is the best memoir I've read in a very long time. It's deeply upsetting, unflinching honest and personal. I wish as many people would read as they did something like Kevin Conroy's 'Finding Batman'.

a digital painting of a pigeon sitting on the ground of an alley in front of a green dumpster full of stereotypical cartoon garbage like banana peels and fish bones. the pigeon’s feet are splayed in front of her, and a carton of french fries next to her. some old fries are spilling onto the ground. the pigeon is holding a fry in her beak, having dipped it in a little paper pot of ketchup on the ground next to her, and is using it to messily paint her toenails with ketchup. she has eyelashes and happy little sparkles.
first painting of 2026 with the energy i’m bringing into the year so far. things are pretty tough and i’m making a point of finding joy anywhere and everywhere i can

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.
A small, ancillary detail in this horror that made me cry
Conservator here: got a black nail from a 3000 year old bronze shield (herzsprung type)

Swelling rage
People just emerging from nowhere, instantly and in NUMBERS, a jaw-dropping magic trick of community action
”porn” insinuates consent, which is impossible when it concerns a child. Csam is a more accurate descriptor
Swedish vallhund in snow. It’s too deep for him. Man has to do silly little jumps to move forward
