If you're someone who didn't click with Shakespeare into adulthood and then came around to it and enjoy it now, what was the tipping point for you?
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if the Christian hegemony Americans lived under weren't built on a foundation of Puritan gender roles and societal power ("women don't get horny") but rather the late medieval construct instead ("women are the horny gender, watch out lads").

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 6d agoi’ve noticed recently that when i’m having an in-person conversation, i feel this internal pressure to make my point faster/a perception that the other person is growing impatient. and i realized it’s because we’re so used to getting info in quick clips now that a longer explanation feels foreign.
As we approach midterm votes, PSA to California residents that we all have the highest incentive to vote in favor of Prop 40. (That’s the billionaire tax that Gavin Newsom tried to block. God I dislike him so fucking much.)
I watched Alien for the first time when I was four or five, supposedly too young an age to develop strong memories, but I sure remember checking every vent in the house for xenomorph slime every day for years afterwards

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap
JRR Tolkien: You paint that picture of the key scene from the Two Towers where Frodo and Sam fight Gollum? Donato Giancola: Sure did, Ron, real fuckin' sexy just like you asked. JRRT: What.

This might date me, but when I was in elementary school at the start of every year the parents got a directory with the other parents' phone numbers, addresses, and a phone tree for each class, I think meant for events like power outages or hurricane season. Is that something orgs still do?
Rewatching Sunshine (2007, Danny Boyle) and feeling a lot of sympathetic kinship with all the characters who get roasted alive as I sweat my way through the beginning of another heatwave

Onion got a clean bill of health!! Thank you, everyone who helped out during a very *eventful* month lol, I think my back might be permanently fucked from sitting in veterinarians' waiting rooms so many days in a row but his complications have cleared up and he's back to his usual criminal self 💖🙏
Onion's back in triage at the emergency vet, fingers crossed nothing serious is wrong and I hate to ask again after yesterday's visit, but I can't pay for the care he needs without help. My PayPal is jeeyon.shim@gmail.com and my Venmo is Jeeyon-Shim. Every little bit helps, thank you so much <3
He’s acting lethargic and yowling when I touch his belly or try to pick him up so we’re going to the ER again, fingers crossed it’s not serious
jeeyon shim 심지연@jeeyon.bsky.social · 4w agoI hate to do this again on the heels of his kidney obstruction but Onion got into a dangerous amount of garlic powder and I have to take him to the emergency vet.

FINALLY home. Apparently Onion threw a bit of a tantrum when they gave him the activated charcoal and now he looks like like he’s been lightly peppered
I just heard a technician ask loudly, "Wait, his name is 'Onion' and he's here for eating garlic powder?" and without uncovering my eyes or sitting up I replied "I know, it's objectively funny" and someone else yelled out "You should have named him 'Bread'" so that's how this is going now I guess 🙃
