Happy Bitters Day!

It’s as Sara Ahmed said: solidarity doesn’t mean that our dreams are the same dreams or that we hope for the same future; it is a recognition that we stand on the same ground.

“Your premium is going up by 19.5% but don’t worry, you can earn Wellness Dollars(TM) for participating in certain healthy activities.” Get fucked!

ESPECIALLY under this administration

Time for our annual reminder that the American health care industry is terrible and also a scam.

Today in The Downfall of America: watching Trump speak to a gathering of military brass and wondering if he’s going to insist on a loyalty pledge OR if the whole place is going to get bombed because what a target. Love this for all of us.

Tonight I saw someone give a bowl of waters to the Cambridge Turkey Clan, and sat next to a man at the tapas bar who was enjoying the shit out of his meal. It’s nice to see some joy out there.

Text mounted on a screen reads as follows: WHAT IS SCIENCE FICTION? 1. DOESN'T MATTER 2. WHO CARES 3. MARKETING DEPARTMENT'S PROBLEM 4. NOT YOURS

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

I love you, best Maria, and I am so angry with your mother for not recognizing how wonderful you are.

Thank god Trump is cancelling green energy contracts. This wind farm is absolutely ruining my view from the beach in Rhode Island.

Love you, Kitty

Happy happy birthday!! 🥳

My erstwhile podcast hosts are launching a new podcast! I’ve never read Worm and now I don’t have to!

Fascinating. Thanks for the link!

Unrelated, but I’ve found at least four typos in this opera’s printed program, hire me to be your copy editor

I assume I can blame Christianity and/or Augustine but welcome additional insights

Where did the trope of “if a woman has sex she dies” come from? It’s in horror movies, comic strips, opera, etc, but where did it come from originally?

Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats:

1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).
