Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” - James Baldwin, “Notes on the House of Bondage”

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

"For reasons that only make sense if you're insane" applies to about 95% of my news feed right now, and I am so very, very tired of it. But damned if it isn't one hell of a turn of phrase.

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

Okay, this looks like fun. Have at, if you're so inclined.

Last thing: It's not enough for residents to get an improved tax base or even direct payments. This is a unique situation where folks specifically disapprove of the product. They want to be proud of the product.

Honestly this is pretty much my retirement plan.

"From the moment the quarrymen left, others moved in, drawn by the combination of invisibility, constant temperature, and complete remove from official Paris above."

Well, that was horrifying.

In my defense, I don't go into the enchanted forest to be seen. I go there to be just another anonymous magical little animal.

You can see the very obvious throughline from “men could transition and easily dominate women’s sports” to “women’s sports are lesser and shouldn’t be taken seriously” to “women shouldn’t play sports” to “here are the acceptable life choices for women”

Also, take care to dispose of the rest of the body properly afterwards. A corpse with scribere gland is very likely to return as a screenplay writer who wants to use your blood for their ink.

Premee Mohamed@premeemohamed.com · 2d ago

The only *guaranteed* piece of craft advice I can give -- I mean the advice that is universally applicable -- is that if you kill many other writers and eat their scribere gland (roughly the size of a black-eyed pea, so be careful not to damage it) then your prose will improve immensely

Chiron was known to be well-versed in medicine (having learned it from Apollo) making him the original Centaur for Disease Control

President Trump Confesses that Latest Lie Wasn’t Selling, Was Too Absurdly Far From Reality, Wonders if You’ll Buy This New Face Saving Lie

Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 2d ago

Update: No deal, back to war, Trump says.

Seems kinda irresponsible to start another week like right after that last one. Borderline reckless.

Impeccably uncanny homie Morgan Carroll has released a new Bloodborne comic that of course obsesses me. A reflection on one of my favorite themes through the weirdest, saddest, scariest and most poignant character ever created, with exquisite sensibility. To die for. emcarroll.itch.io/milkweed

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do. ME: How are you supposed to do it? MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck. BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.

Hey folks, I missed some work due to being ill and my paycheck was less than anticipated and I'm in the negative now about $337. Any help is appreciated. Venmo/Cashapp: showupforthis

So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.

Older than "trees" so older than Devonian but younger than mountains, which means Ordovician for the Appalachian orogeny. So West Virginia is Silurian.

Lockwood DeWitt@lockwooddewitt.bsky.social · 4d ago

There's also the line, "Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains..." Okay, life is older than trees, younger than the mountains? I suppose it depends on what age we decide to call "Appalachia."

i got mugged at shotgun point. the cops arrested the wrong guy, hustled me out of court at the hearing when i said ”that’s not the guy,” told me “you didn’t see him,” made me do a lineup at the prison and when i said “that’s the guy i saw in court, still not him” told me “it’s OK, he’s a bad person”

Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d ago

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

As someone who makes a living doing art I'm really cautious around cops because they could easily accuse me of drawing a weapon.
