if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues, I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans. -- [My name] Chief Bone Inventor Chair, Department of Foot and Leg Innovation Lord Mayor, Musculoskeletal Medicine Hartford HealthCare, The Bone & Joint Institute at Hartford Hospital.

Had a weird dream last night, and I am now debating the merits of a comic strip that involves Purgatory being a video rental store that loans out movies to people from Heaven and Hell both (but good luck telling who's from where because they all look eldritch AF). It could be called Purgastory.

One thing I learned from Roe v Wade is that conservatives believe women were never supposed to have freedom and choices. Seeing us become punished by the environments of our own liberation feels satisfying to them. It's like they're herding us back into complacency with our own trauma.

Day 275! I read Gifts for the Fairies by @disgruntledpeony.bsky.social published in @talesfrombetween.bsky.social. This feels like a fair(y) exchange. Read my review here: mickstaniforth.wordpress.com/2026/10/02/s...

S/D/Y Oct 02 – Gifts for the Fairies by M Elizabeth Ticknor – Tales from Between

Telling a cohesive story in just three paragraphs is not easy, so props to this author for that alone. And the story is good as well. I think if you are trying to tell a story quickly, using alread…

The classic monsters fit well into so many metaphors. I'd never seen this particular take on vampirism, but it's a good one. If you see it right away it's likely because you've seen it in real life.
