Omg not Hank Green using AI for research and calling to his “bad habit” 💀😭🤡

Still need $100 to help cover for the next two weeks. Thank you ❤️

We had some things come up and we need more immediate help now. We're going to barely clear rent tomorrow which leaves us w/o funds for cat/food/meds for two weeks. $200 will help cover us until payday on the 10th. Thank you Venmo @NicFrankenberry Cashapp $NFrankenberry Paypal @mnemosyneawrites

"Don't financially support the New York Times" is no more a 'bad take' than "Don't financially support JK Rowling."

wow, i was not expecting to be blocked by @kenjennings.bsky.social over this. We’ve previously interacted in friendly ways, so i reached out in good faith & not trying to drag him. I was giving the benefit of the doubt that maybe his transphobic behavior was unintended. really disappointing.

The knitters and the trans folks (a very overlapping Venn diagram, let's be real) are not surprised that Hank green has been using AI on his videos of late. Friendly reminder: if you think you're too smart to fall for something, it increases the likelihood that you will fall for something.

No, I can't put my money where my mouth is, I can barely put my mouth where my mouth is, and I definitely have a less-than-optimal brain-to-mouth connection.

Getting increasingly comfortable going, "hey, fuck you," at people who consistently act like a giant back of sentient assholes, it's fun, 10/10 recommend. I did shock the fuck out of some mid 30-somethings when I shouted it at a car using a neighborhood street as a drag strip, though, poor things.

(Me, learning that someone I thought was interesting and maybe even cool is anti-trans) Huh, well, that's that then (Drops the whole person into the bin)

This is true about a lot of the things that Democrats just keep fucking conceding to. Don't let their fucked morality dictate yours. You have an obligation for the future of this planet and the people who live on it to believe in much fucking better.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Our suffering in Gaza hasn’t stopped for a single moment. The destruction continues, the water is contaminated, and there is no medical treatment. My family lost everything—we are homeless, sleeping on the streets. Our only dream now is to buy a tent and food. chuffed.org/project/1844...

Signs that I am tired to the bone: I start contemplating making my own couch. That's all, I'm too tired to add any more to the list.

"Ew, sex workers!" and "polite transphobia" are fuck buddies and always have been.

But can I make my own sofa by sewing a bunch of tufted mattresses?

Hi all, @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social's kid desperately needs our help to keep her out of the prison pipeline. She deserves the break she would get automatically if it were not for the inherent misogynoir in our system.

My kiddo Faith was a straight A student until her granddad (the only father she knew) died after a long battle with dementia. Now, the legal system is punishing her for having a mental break in the worst time of her life. Please donate or share: tinyurl.com/246c9bbm

If I die of transphobia forget burial. Just drop my body on the nearest Democrat's kitchen table.

I think the most *fascinating* thing about the Sauropods, since we're on the topic of dinos, is that they existed in a niche that just isn't occupied anymore? Like, these titanic herbivores with all this architectural structure and this way of living that just isn't around anymore.

Had The Big Conversation with Younger Child yesterday: "Sometimes characters do things that Are Morally Sus. That doesn't mean the book is bad. This is a story that's discussing things that happen in the real world. It's more important to look at the larger context and what the story is saying."

friends, please: don’t use transreads dot org they claim to support trans authors, but take our entire texts, post them for free, fundraise off it, and have the gall to claim it’s about preservation they are literally taking money from trans creators and make it harder for us to keep creating

And like, there are babies who also have severe auditory issues also, and are experiencing all this plane noise that is *hurting* them and they have no way of controlling how they're experiencing that. The previously mentioned baby who I took on the plane and cried for many hours straight is now a

As someone who has been on an airplane with an inconsolable screaming baby from Pittsburgh to Texas to Seattle: trust me, the parents and baby are having a much worse time than you are. A little kindness goes a long way.

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

But the dead speak ill of me all the time!

Hey y'all, I know there's a ton of asks out there and this one may seem less like a "need," but this kiddo could use a win for Disability Pride Month. I know the family, and she's an awesome kid who has had a really rough year and deserves some joy. Anything you can spare would be very appreciated.

I am once again asking people to stop shitting on self publishing. Self publishing is one of the best ways for marginalized people to get their stories told, and we work hard as fuck. Stop equating selfpub with low quality, low effort.

I highly recommend, for this food supply issue and the next, following Farm to Taber. Absolutely phenomenal discussions of how our food system works from someone who works in the farm industry, has her own small farm, and isn't afraid to talk about how it works. www.youtube.com/@FarmToTaber

Farms, food, and money! I'm a small farmer, crop scientist, and ex-farm worker.

I'm taking a break for a few days just because I feel like it, everybody take care and be kind to each other. 💚

Younger Child has not played Five Nights at Freddie's, but he loves to watch YouTube creators explain the lore, which he then explains to me, and this morning I started discussing how the plot is expressing similar frustrations to those experienced by red-pill dudes, and the kids told me to stop.

George has been on The Dark Side a long time, iykyk. (Right around the time he went against everything he supposedly believed about art belonging to the public by refusing to allow fans to have the original versions of the OG trilogy to prevent Marcia from getting paid for her editing work.)

Fuck ICE. Fuck everyone who helped the country get to this point. And this is why people who decouple from the Republican Party now should spend several years at least weeping in the dark on the floor in horror over what they've done before we should consider extending an iota of forgiveness.

Anyway, eat fiber, it is good for you! It helps stabilize your blood sugar, can lower cholesterol levels, prevents constipation and hemorrhoids, and can reduce your chances of some kinds of cancer. It is in lots of cheap and delicious foods like beans and whole grains.

Oooh, discovered today that the reason I've never had stomach issues after eating Taco Bell because I already eat enough fiber. And some folks out here put a single bean in their body and it reacts like it's poison.
