...it also dawned on me that this is the 2nd time he's photographed me wearing blue and red in a very fall setting. 😆

I got this photo after a particularly tough day, and it's been just a needed bright spot. I always love working with @vontography.bsky.social and I think this is one of those pictures I may have to get printed to add to my growing collection of "cool photos of myself" in my house.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

Tomorrow is the last day to use the discount code “BSTariffRefund”to save 15% off your order and take the sting off of the tariffs. After that, I hope that you will continue to support my store at its normal prices. I promise I will do my best to keep them as low as I can.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Greetings, I turned 42 back in July, that still feels weird. I don’t know about you, but there’s always a part of you that still feels like you did back when you were 20 and still that awkward kid …

Check out a friend's shop, get some cool retro JP games. He's being kind and offering a discount code, use it if you want or just buy as-is without it. I've purchased in the past an Iron Chef game as a gift (yes that exists) and always try to share when the shop updates.

Japan Retro Direct @japanretrodirect.bsky.social · 16d

OK Bluesky friends. Use the code “BSTariffRefund” on checkout to save 15%. Let me explain.

So, since the new shipping restrictions and tariffs went into effect my sales have fallen off a cliff. And in the last 2 weeks I have received only a single order. (1/5)

Since PinkNews is run by a transphobic bad actor and has a habit of sloppy, sensationalist bullshit, I feel like I should clarify: he wants a complete withdrawal of federal funding for facilities that provide gender-affirming care. That's devastating, but different from a ban of that care in law

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.
