FRIENDS IN THE NYC AREA: Okay, this is a tough one, but please bear with me. My wife's lifelong friend has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is desperately seeking a home for his two cats when that time comes. The elder, Wally, is something like 13 years old and DELIGHTFULLY dim. The younger, Doris,

Louisa@louisathelast.bsky.social · 6d agoYou know what you *don’t* need? Noisy electronic toys. They will be fine. Margot still doesn’t have any and it is fine. She has maracas and a xylophone, so it’s not like she can’t make noise, but we have kept our sanity by not being surrounded by beep boops all day
My weekend plans? Blackberry jam. Just that. So much of it. Can for scale.

Just hanging out enjoying the soft power PRC platform of the Meg 2 and wishing Will Smith still made good action movies and contemplating what it says about Englishness on the world stage. Please, Vin Diesel, you can save us.
@raevpet.com and I recently determined that the French are ontologically evil but seem to have developed some workarounds that reduce the evil. The Dutch are not ontologically evil; they simply have an evil culture.

There are more people who've parlayed middling athletic prospects into profitable careers decrying the inclusion of trans women in sports than there are trans women in sports.
Lily Rose's country song Whole Lotta Hometown is a smaller scale form of Sibelius' This is My Song, wherein the universality of a love of home is noted, with a particular fondness for the singer's home and the realization that others, too, feel this love. In this essay I will

Is there anyone in Malta who can help out a Bsky friend and deliver some goods to a hospital? Please contact @keuningin.eurosky.social
Jacqueline@keuningin.eurosky.social · 2w agoIs er op dit moment iemand op #Malta die wat spullen kan brengen naar iemand die daar in het ziekenhuis ligt? Of ken je iemand die daar nu is en een uurtje vskantie wil afstaan? Het ziekenhuis ligt in Msida, bij Valetta. Online bestellen blijkt lastiger dan ik dacht.

Every time Bridge Colby opens his mouth I feel better about the series of events that led me to not doing a postdoc. The guy who was supposed to be my supervisor invited me to a conference where he was the lead speaker and couldn't understand why I was disgusted.
