when you got an october birthday

Hope your day was better than Darwin’s, on this day 165 years ago

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

Standing at the edge Where the light meets the darkness I hold both equal #DailyHaikuPrompt #Equinox

"Is a headache one of the things she told us could be a potential side effect of the vaccines we got today?" "Yeah, I think it always is." "Well, I'm going to stop thinking about capitalism just in case."

Patch up my heart please With each kiss pressed upon me Healer, lover, mine ♡ #DailyHaikuPrompt #patch

Tasted the nectar Delicate petals trembling I still feel the buzz #DailyHaikuPrompt #Buzz

After time apart our first kisses bring to mind silence and a buzz #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #Poem #Buzz

I kept close orbit In case you called for my light Now I'm yours in full #DailyHaikuPrompt #FullMoon

You're bright in my sky. We are locked into orbit and can't look away. #DailyHaikuPrompt #Haiku #Poem #FullMoon

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

She was radiant I miss the way she once shined But these days she's fading light #DailyHaikuPrompt

people complain a lot about bluesky vs twitter but one of the most insurmountable differences is that going viral on bluesky means getting ratioed by a bunch of some nerds, and going viral on twitter means you get quote retweeted by libs of tiktok and doxxed by neo-nazis

I'm going deeper Down into my darkest depths Casting light on truth #DailyHaikuPrompt #Lamplight

Seats more than enough to satisfy Scylla

As an adaptation of Homer’s epic, the Honda Odyssey is a complete disaster. With its roomy cabin and rear entertainment system for the kids, the minivan foregrounds concerns that only arose with the American nuclear family and say nothing about the brutality that underlay the Bronze Age.

Walking through the rain My drenched clothes feel heavier I want to dry off #DailyHaikuPrompt #Soaked

My sand castle fell Overcome by the high tide Swept away to make room #DailyHaikuPrompt

working on a new project for @aftermath.site: a semi-comprehensive, regularly-updated list of every game studio that refuses to use AI. if that sounds like your studio, message me with the reason(s) why as well as basic details about what you make. DMs open and email is nathan@aftermath.site

Don't love that #Doordash will give out your entire phone number to anyone that enters your email address to sign in with.

This is one of the big current scams. If someone wants you to test their game out of the blue... Not they don't.

So, heads up. A Discord account who I haven't talked to in about six years messaged me randomly asking me to download their game to test it. I did a little bit of digging. This features footage stolen from a game called Torii: Beyond The Gates and it looks like it's set up to steal your Discord.

popfeed.social is an alternative option

@hankgreen.bsky.social why does the Streak of Five image on 4x3 not have light reflections? Just wondering if it's intentional
