Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
Really frustrates me to see how women are being failed by improper attention being paid to hormonal levels in our bodies esp as we age. Glad to see decent work being done at the institution where I work but I wanna throw some of these quotes in doctors faces so bad. www.vcuhealth.org/news/how-vcu...

New column! If you’re in Richmond, come to the Good Day RVA shows, and you just might run into me!
The Auricular@theauricular.bsky.social · 3w agoIt's a good week for live music thanks to the fine folks at Good Day RVA who are bringing four amazing days of music. But don't stop there! The concert calendar is overflowing as always and @annihilatethisweek.bsky.social has all the details. Here is your guide to shows you must see July 15 - 21!
The problem with being low-maintenance and easy to get along with is that it encourages some people to forget you might have needs or desires at all.
As a teen, I was super smart (according to adults) and had more important things to do with my evenings than homework. Being slipshod with homework held back my grades, so if I was a student today there’s no way I wouldnt be getting AI to do my homework for me. Even if I hated it as much as I do now
Does anyone else ever go back and listen to those amazing old Red House Painters records and then have this terrible cringe moment when you remember what Mark Kozelek’s music sounds like now? Is that just me?
I need to keep this around so I can remind myself
Katie Tightpussy, Editor-In-Chief@katie.bzky.team · 4w agothe thing about trying your best is that sometimes your best fucking sucks, but crucially, trying your best entails doing right by the people you failed via learning everything you can from those failings, regardless of whether they stay in your life. important to take lessons however they come imo.
I don’t think "Dem HR ladies" is labor coded or working class aligned. It comes from the same place everything that is terrible in the last two years has come from. The backlash to the Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements.
What it says in the headline. I'm no longer asking. Platner seems to be trying desperately to hang on, or even gearing up to slime his exes. It would be a travesty if this were allowed to happen from the perch of a US Senate nomination. But also, entirely typical and expected. He. Must. Go. Now.
Graham Platner Must Go
Democrats made the Devil's bargain with Graham Platner. The Adversary has come to collect.

I just saw someone say that hindsight is 20/20 on Graham Platner, and let me just say that if you did not see this coming, your vision for such things needs to be checked.
…AND this today! Double your uhhh whatever you feel about me writing about music from Richmond.

When the guy who ran Punk Planet magazine is saying it’s not punk, you can take that far more seriously than anything the NYT might tell you. He’s right and he should say it.
dan sinker@dansinker.com · last mo.absolutely fucking not.
Recently I am finding that the more I manage to find the courage to say and do what I’m scared to say and do, the more I am rewarded with the love and companionship I long for the most.
