A friend moved to a new state for a job and was laid off after just three months. He's had a hard time of things for the last few years—please help me raise funds to help him through an extremely bad time. 📚 www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

It’s truly inspiring how many of you are still having a total meltdown about a woman not liking a movie you liked

The student tour guides have a line about how the libraries aren’t open all night because we “want students to get some sleep” and that’s cute but we’re missing an opportunity to talk about staffing and labor practices in higher ed libraries. Which I’m assuming is what these teens + parents came for

We watched soooo much Voyage of the Mimi in middle school oh my god. 12-year-olds going nuts for this theme song. youtu.be/8dqKYc578ng?...

Y’all my parents are visiting this weekend and I got a Kalaya reservation, I am so excited you don’t understand

I'm incredibly honored to be one of the inaugural winners of the Ctrl-Z award. The sequence of events preceding and following this retraction were harrowing (and are honestly still stressful), but I hope this will be an opportunity for more open dialogue about mistakes + self-retraction in science.

The Center for Scientific Integrity is proud to announce the inaugural winners of the 2026 Ctrl-Z Award. Named for the universal keyboard shortcut for “undo,” the Ctrl-Z Award this year honors @cetaceanneeded.bsky.social and @katelaskowski.bsky.social for choosing transparency over reputation.

Please do not say “no one is talking about XYZ” unless you’re about to spill some deep esoteric secrets. Y’all keep getting my hopes up and then repeating mundane stuff that lots of people are talking about

I just saw a dude argue that Christopher Nolan has created the most interest in The Odyssey that has ever existed in history and please, someone hit me with a tranquilizer dart that will allow me to sleep through next year’s Oscars. Please. I can’t take it.

Stop saying "log into a portal." Sounds way too cool for what's happening.

Five stars. Ten out of ten. What the hell did I just read (laudatory)

Have you ever read a book that made you absolutely livid because you can’t believe you’ve gone this long without reading it, like what were you even doing

How I plan to do my August reading, in the shadows, with an owl on my hat, feeling good.

Here a compilation of stupid things library consultants have said to me in solidarity with library pals at Lambeth Libraries where genius consultants has decided that a qualified head of library service post isn't really essential.

I know I am just being a grouchy elder but how is it 2026 and writers are still out here saying "we" think of the Internet as "immaterial"—who is this "we" and where have they been for the last decade

Not even 10am and I’ve received 8 compliments so far on my @peculiarityshop.bsky.social Dragon’s Den earrings

I’m absolutely going to be late to work because I’m in the nearby coffee shop covertly watching two baristas fall in love

I love women. I just think they’re neat

Libra: If it sometimes seems as though life is a series of endless disappointments, we've got good news for you on the "endless" front.

any turtle can be a snapping turtle if the jazz is smooth enough

Now here's a challenge for the men of @ach.bsky.social: volunteer to be next in line for secretary and mix things up so it's not always women and enbies doing that work. The last male secretary was Stéfan Sinclair from 2004-2007. It's been 20 years, my dudes!

Sarah Werner@wynkenhimself.bsky.social · 4d ago

Hoo boy when I was the Secretary on a board and couldn’t find a man to take my place when my term ended because having to do that work of metacognition was too feminized

can we sometimes be asking "what qualifies this guy to speak on this subject?" or has that ship sailed

I wish that streaming services played ads from the time period of the source media. Seeing a Polymarket ad while watching The Twilight Zone is like an ice bucket of bullshit

On the perfect date (listening to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge while driving around looking for bookshop parking)

When I have a text from my father-in-law there’s like an 80ish percent chance that it’s an article about a sandwich. And I think that’s beautiful

I think I’m done with graphics. Saw this and I’m convinced. I think it’s time to change careers.

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates

Money can’t buy “happiness” but it could buy me a big ugly house to fill with big ugly treasures and that’s so real
