After a fall on my kitchen on Christmas Day, I broke my back and am now paralyzed. I'm now in long term care and in a difficult financial situation because of it. If you can help, please donate and share this fundraiser.

Pro-tip for the Swalwell campaign staff now maligning the women accusing their boss of sexual misconduct: it's not worth it. There will be other campaigns and other candidates but there will never be another time that you won't regret behaving this way towards survivors.

I’m going to write about this more extensively next week but in the meantime, here’s a brief thought from last night’s show about the link between the governments of super powers throughout the world and domestic abuse….
"sex doesn't belong in YA books"
Listen, I learned more about birth control, menstruation, and how to get and give consent to different acts from Tamora Pierce books than I did from my school. There's a huge difference between smut and showing teens what healthy sexuality is.
Where’s the puffin? All I see is a short video of John Oliver, who clearly has lost his glasses and is being shoved around by a giant human hand
Sometimes on the Isle of May the wildlife comes to us…I caught this Puffin yesterday in one of our buildings and released unharmed :) stunning but powerful wee birds.
Obviously (answers in reverse order) they only drink the blood of alcoholics, but they never get that far because in the process of turning vamp their pec catches fire and burns like a magnesium flare that won't go out.
Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only
The truest thing I’ve read today….🤣

How it feels doing literally any task right now.
Yesterday, the crew of the ISS called the crew of #Artemis2 and had a short conversation in between their busy schedules of research and documentation (I promise, to a scientist, that's more fun than it sounds!)
This was the first ship-to-ship communications ever to take place in space. #NASA
Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation. [alt text from NASA]
#Artemis II lunar flyby images are showing up! 😍

#Wilhoit 's whole comment is worth frequent rereading, particularly the corrolary at the end.

A little vid to cheer you up. A pup enjoying a hotdog at the T-mobile Park in Seattle.
Someone studied 55,000 permits in Seattle and found that single family home additions / remodels get approved quickly and anything else gets stuck in absurd review cycles like 55 days for “drainage”

The Seattle area should have been building out housing for millions of climate refugees. Instead Seattle City Council (and most other local govts) have dithered to NIMBY lies for decades.

Buddy, if America EVER gets through this...
I thought I was sick of the thought of space travel.
Turned out I was really sick of billionnaire vanity projects.
What NASA's doing is incredible and has got me excited about space exploration again.
I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5.
My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.
Reminder: You don't have to give right-wing chuds attention & you *really* don't have to share screenshots of the dumb shit they say on Twitter!
We came to Bluesky to get away from it. If you want to engage, go there. Don't bring it here like a dog dropping a rat at our feet & expecting praise.
