Please note that as of 12:34 am EST on April 21st, this post had the perfect Bluesky ratio of actually relevant science related comments : do you see the same weird animal I see if I turn my head a little comments

The last two paragraphs of her linked article discuss some of the specifics of restarting care, and it’s largely very hopeful. I’m more concerned about the whole thing being appealed on up to SCOTUS, though.

If you think not being toxic means being weak or boring…that’s a skill issue, man. Just ask this legend here.

Well, he’s definitely not mad about it.

[Screenshot of Tumblr post] beemojis: heartbreaking: local cat has never been fed in entire life, says local cat beemojis: sources close to cat claim cat may have actually been fed between four to six hours ago. these claims are still under investigation. hiddenlacuna: Breaking news: cat was fed 20 minutes ago by the last person to walk into the kitchen. Cat claims fake mews. hashtagdion: We now have exclusive footage shot by our News At Nine chopper that confirms there's literally still food in the cat's bowl right now.

Around here it’s “Local Cat.”

Moon joy upgrade just dropped.

I am so excited to understand more than a fraction of this at some point! ✨

The excuse that hospital boards are giving is that HHS could withhold Medicare/Medicaid funding for all patients if they provide care for trans youth. This was just defeated in court again, but everyone’s waiting for it to be upheld by SCOTUS.

Always has been.

I honestly can't read a single thing about anyone using Anthropic-developed source code without yelling ONLY GOOD CODE NO BUGS, usually out loud.

Screenshot of part of news article. Highlighted paragraph reads: “The United States is still a nation of immigrants, he said in an interview. ‘It just needs to be like the days of Ellis Island.’”

There was always, like, a one in five chance my villain arc was going to be started by some asshole from Southie, but Lyons is really putting in overtime on his way out the ICE door with this shit, man.

ICE acting director and South Boston native Todd Lyons will resign, DHS says - The Boston Globe Lyons has been a key executor of President Trump’s mass deportations agenda.

You can’t resign from being a native of Southie, but Boston can disown you.

Don’t look here for home, Todd-o. You want warmth, go hang out with Stephen Miller on the holidays.

I cannot get anything done until I know

Screenshot of bsky timeline showing two posts from Pixie Thinks, one right after the other. First says “The app fixed?” Second says “Why would they put crack in red bull?”

I just logged on and processed this as the second post is what was causing the first. (I will choose to continue believing this regardless of whether or not it’s accurate.)

Seriously. Just call it Dark Episcopal already.

People who want to order other people around become cops, they don’t join the National Guard.

years ago in a conversation about philanthropy, i heard someone say "white people give away money and think it still belongs to them" and godDAMN if it wasn't one of the truest things I've still ever heard in my life

i would 100% add this to the embroidery project list but like fuck i'm spending that much time looking at those names

People willing calling people by their chosen names of Clavicular or Sneako but complain about trans people pronouns. Get fucked

this is where having an autistic teen w/ hyperempathy is SUPER helpful. i just call out from the couch "do i want to know who/what [so and such] is?" & I get back "absolutely not" or "sure, but it won't be interesting to you" or "yes, you'll think it's funny" or "hang on, i'll have to explain it."

Hot tip to make at-home respiratory therapy easier: take your incentive spirometer, hide it under the couch, and pretend you're unclear on object permanence.

No, it definitely is, these are gold

my younger teen & their friends say "that's AI" the way i say "bullshit" when someone says something unbelievable.

("you have FOUR cats? nah, nah, that's AI. really??")

i hate giant zoom calls but i hate concentration camps more. tuesday night, 8 pm EST.

Sup, Lucky Grad Year Twin?? 🏆

a man in a black coat stands in a dark room and says my desert . Alt: GIF from movie Dune, with super-weird Baron Harkonnen floating unnecessarily up to the ceiling to make himself feel tall and powerful. Subtitles are shown for his dialogue: “My desert. My Arrakis. My Dune.”)

I’m like 90% certain the President of the US was just on live TV talking about Iran & said “we’ll get the Dust back”

SMAUG IS WEAK ON HEALTHCARE

I know we mostly got it from Autism Awareness Month to Autism Acceptance Month but I'm not stopping until it's Don't Be an Asshole About Autism Month

So the thing is, if you're going to jump straight into two-paragraph lecture mode with someone you know absolutely nothing about, you're gonna want to be really sure you're understanding both the content and intent of the posts you're replying to, which can admittedly be difficult on the internet.
