I'm sorry but if you're walking a really cute dog and your dog clearly wants to say hello to me it is very rude to just keep walking like you didn't even notice!! your dog is upset about it this, you need to think about them!

1/x On September 11, 2001 Coast Guard Lieutenant Michael Day, aboard the Sandy Hook pilot boat New York, keyed his radio: "All available boats. This is the United States Coast Guard. Anyone wanting to help with the evacuation of Lower Manhattan, report to Governors Island." #maritimehistory

And now millions of people around the world have got to hear all this in what should have been a pretty dull regional forum heard by policy wonks. "Thank you,” Teodoro adds to the Chinese official, “and I hope you don't suffer in a gulag for it."

especially crucial on this day of jubilee to honor the early generations of Kirk/Spock shippers who built the entire infrastructure of modern fandom as we now know it — from fic and art to conventions and fanzines — only to have legions of male fans who followed later deny that women watch scifi 🙃

about 60% of your atoms are hydrogen atoms, whose nuclei mostly originated in the Big Bang. Most of *you* predates Earth by about nine billion years. More than half of you is as old as the universe.

high quality steel surgical instruments can be reprocessed (cleaned, packaged, sterilized) almost indefinitely when properly cared for the oldest instrument at the hospital I work for that I've yet found is an auvard speculum that has been around since at least 1973

ORPHAN CATS STILL SEEKING A FOREVER HOME I've updated the original thread linked here. It has *all* the pertinent information, so please read the whole thing.

And for a quick hit here’s one from my personal library of obscurely comforting TikToks.

Bluesky is dying? It's an echo chamber? You are sad about this? Get a vibrator and go with God, I truly wish you a happy go fuck yourself.

Actress Hayden Panettiere has died, her representative confirms. She was 36 abcnews.com/US/hayden-pa...

I'm not going to tag Ursula in this (though she's welcome to reply) because my thread isn't going to be about the Astarion book or if BG3 is a "horny" game or any of that nonsense. Instead, this is about the online demands for the perfect rape victim in fiction. (thread)

Happy Caturday with Marthur and Maple the kittens #farmily #kittens #caturday @carolineartist.bsky.social

Never too late to learn how to add ALT text to your images! It's a simple way to let people with visual or neurological impairments know that you care about making them feel included in the Bluesky community.

I have such a rant in me about US healthcare costs and why bills are insane and indecipherable I think I wrote like a fifteen skeet thread before I got myself under control and abandoned it 😂

happy age gap august :)

Happy Friday everyone, as promised, here is my personal theory on this. I think Redwall takes place in our world, after an apocalyptic event of the nuclear variety caused rapid but varied growth of all animals, including humans, leading to our extinction and their mental development. Okay? 🧵

Minneapolis! Pediatric trial of a new pneumococcal vaccine, control group receives the already-approved one.

Lorraine Wagner-Zbornak@childsplease.blacksky.app · 2mo ago

I'm recruiting for a pediatric pneumococcal vaccine study for children 15mo to <5 years in Minneapolis. No placebo, standard side effects. 2 in person visits and a phone call and requires a couple 5ml blood draws and a week of reaction monitoring surveys. It is well compensated. Message for details.

Rep. Aisha Gomez: “To look at people standing up against ICE and see ‘paid protesters’ says nothing about us and everything about you.” “That you cannot conceive of us loving our neighbors so much that we would actually do something for them.”
