Fascinated by the idea that some alternate universe doppelganger is telling ChatGPT to make a Ghibli meme of me saying "happy birthday" for the fuckass group chat, as opposed to this blessed timeline, where I'm hand-bashing inscrutable in-jokes for a Discord server of five people

A fake magazine ad: "Dirt, Bugs, Nothing at All: You choose the toppings, the pipe takes care of the rest. PIPED IN QUAIL PASTE. For that piped-in quail taste."

Every time you use phrases like "back during Covid", you're deluding yourself. Covid never left. bsky.app/profile/thec...

An infographic showing a U.S. COVID-19 Heat Map dated July 20, 2026, based on the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model utilizing CDC wastewater data. The image features a colour-coded map of the United States displaying regional infectious prevalence estimates across various counties. The colour scale legend indicates five tiers of CDC Relative Levels and PMC Prevalence Estimates: • Very Low (Light Green): <0.9% actively infectious • Low (Muted Green): 1.2% (range 0.9–1.5%) • Moderate (Orange): 2.0% (range 1.5–2.4%) • High (Red): 2.9% (range 2.4–3.5%) • Very High (Purple): >3.5% actively infectious Most of the U.S. map is shaded in shades of green. Prominent cluster hotspots marked in red and purple are located heavily across Texas and extending into western Louisiana, as well as distinct localized clusters in Utah, Wyoming, and Nevada. Text below the map explicitly outlines 8 major hotspots, highlighting severe outbreaks across Texas and transmission metrics in Hardin county.

For context, there are an estimated 2.8-3 million trans folks over 13 in the entire US A $15 million dollar fund to help trans New Yorkers get Healthcare and support in direct ways is GIGANTIC, one of the biggest single actions taken by a politician for trans folks as far as I know

My outfit for the world premiere is a red carpet interpretation of “Absolute Wonder Woman,” my favourite comic! 🥰 I wanted to send love to the creators and wish them GOOD LUCK with their Eisner and Hugo nominations!

1/ Five cases of New World screwworm have now been confirmed in the U.S., Texas has declared an emergency, and Canada immediately restricted livestock imports. Most people had never heard of screwworm until last week (or maybe just now). That's because we eradicated it from the U.S. in 1966.🧵
