Over a year has passed and this poem I cannot find still haunts me. This is, as ever, a cry for help.

I am desperately trying to find a poem that contains the line “we flense, grow wet.” I remember nothing else about it. Not only is google singularly unhelpful but the AI feature at the top of the search WROTE A “POEM” containing the word flense (incorrectly). We live in hell.

These colors are so good I’d like to eat them.

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans. I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess. Info in 🧵

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition

Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Model or menace? You be the judge.

We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion. The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”. Which is why the rage. www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

You feel ill at ease among the pines.  Something dreamlike and dreary makes your head swim with the shifting shadows as a low buzzing whispers beneath the wind. Then, a blinding light, artificial stars screaming from the ruins as they manifest the glinting maws of the Cosmic Static that hunts you.

Whenever this is mentioned, it is obligatory to post xkcd 2381, in which @gretchenmcc.bsky.social shares forbidden linguistic knowledge with the masses.

It's believed we've lost the true name for bear in Germanic languages - "bear" roughly means "brown one," a euphemism used instead of the true name because it was believed that saying their true name would summon the bear.

@jerusalem.bsky.social makes an accurate observation on Twitter about the true nature of the right’s project - eliminating trans people. I am curious if we will see The Argument cover the implications of this observation - that there is no grand bargain to be made on trans rights (cont)
