oh, that distinctly American feeling when you make a joke about what you think is a common medical/healthcare woe and all the Europeans freeze in horror and then try to get you to a secondary location so they can airlift you to safety 😭

Journalists working the far right beat like Vice's were doing get elaborate death and rape threats every single day with zero support, put themselves in deeply uncomfortable and highly dangerous situations as a public service, but god forbid chickenshit execs like these get a thumbs down emoji

Fascist.

translation from Media Management Speak: "We rich fools who very very stupidly fucked this place will now take our bags of money & depart--oh btw you're unemployed & your work's vaporized. see ya in St Barts, byeeeee!"

Boosting this again. (Criminalizing homelessness is so evil.)

I took a backpacking trip to Germany in 2011 where a friend and I attended 4 fußball games. Standing in the terraces among all the passionate fans for my little adopted club Mainz 05 was one of the best experiences of my life! I'm so glad the league is being held to a high standard.

I love the #Bundesliga and its fans. For the second time, peaceful but massive protests have kiboshed a private investment deal that threatened to send the Bundesliga down the road of the Premier League. Great job Germany! ❤️🇩🇪⚽ www.dw.com/en/bundeslig...

I’m sorry that Adrian had to issue this statement, but I understand why. I will also say, all his books are wonderful, and in particular I highly recommend both the Children of Time series & my personal favorite, the Final Architecture series. 🔥🐉

Thanks Sugar!!! Honey wishes you a very sweet evening 🍯

this has been coming for a long time and we’d better get ready

Honestly this is kind of my go-to makeup approach! I wouldn't call it no-makeup, but my skin doesn't need anything really, and metallic eyeshadow plus minimal eyeliner makes me look ten times more awake 😂

JUST glitter? Depending on the type of workplace, that could cause quite a stir. 😜

It's a close-up photo of a fish, but everything about it is weird. It has a frowning mouth that looks like it's covered in bright-red lipstick, tufts of "hair" on the giant "nose" above the mouth, and it stands on what looks like "feet". Image: Imago/Imagebroker/N. Probst

Charles Darwin never saw the weirdest resident of the Galapagos Islands, which is a shame, because it's a naturalist's dream (and was named in his honor).

Let's talk about the utter weirdness of Ogcocephalus darwini, the Red-lipped Batfish.

I looked more closely at the first photo and turns out the building I labeled as a "small rural house" in the alt text is actually a three car garage with two massive trucks and a motor boat in front and an RV in back, so. There's that.

The greatest movie Of All Time yes I said it

One of the unexpected things you learn studying history is how much food poisoning was just normal. Modern food safety is a miracle not a curse...

So basically completely forging the Hugo awards ballot to give awards to anglophone writers. Right up there with eliminating people for any mention of China. Just peak racism times two. It's making me more and more angry.

Your intermittent reminder that RIPMedicalDebt is an organization that does great things.

You donate, say, $10 and they buy and erase $1000 of someone's medical debt.

Dave McCarty is emotionally abusive, generally manipulative, and has sexually harassed myself and numerous others. I’ve spoken openly about this and made CoC complaints when possible.

He is not a missing stair, he is a creepy handyman who has been using his previous community service as a shield.

I have recently decided to respond to "I know him, he's a good guy," with "if he has the capacity to be a good guy and has never shown that to me, that's even more damning, you understand that, right? That means he COULD be kind and is CHOOSING to be a jerk to people."

This seems like a blessing, honestly. That foul place doesn't deserve your delish candles.

What is federation, and do I really want to know? (Hi, first day on bluesky)
