Just goes to show that hierarchy is seductive and corruptive

it's still free range @shebjammin.blacksky.app · Aug 24

With as connected as The Rock is to his Samoan culture, it's weird that he's such a staunch republican. Like I get the tax breaks are important to you but the way white supremacy has treated your land and your people, on both sides of your cultures - because also Black - it just seems weird.

I will reiterate something here: The MMR is a live-virus vaccine. As such, I (and people like me) CANNOT take it

Everyone on chemotherapy, everyone in transplant protocol, everyone with a weakened immune system -- we all all DEPENDING on the REST of you to get vaccinated, to stop it from spreading.

Wear a damn mask and go get your MMR re-upped. Just do it. If you don't have insurance, check with your state health department about programs they might have. Do it.

The Waffle House sells an official nightlight and I’m so pissed it’s sold out I could start a fight at the Waffle House.

A screenshot of a product page from the Waffle House website, of a Waffle House might light that’s a replica of the Waffle House sign, plugged into an outlet.

B. To me, A reads as more than a touch archaic (which is why I'd *expect* it in a steampunk space-travel story but not in a standard-issue space opera).

Always repost the medically accurate muscle chart.

("and then there's this asshole" is my nemesis)

Emily @becausechaucer.bsky.social · Aug 23

Good morning to everyone except Jackass

Post by username unmutedlark with a diagram of the muscles of the human upper back and neck, labeled"medically accurate muscle chart". A big shoulder muscle is labeled "absolute fuckwaffle." Center lower back is "and then there's this asshole." Center upper neck back is "traitor." The bit that runs from behind your ear down the side of your neck is "jackass." I don't know what any of these muscles actually are but I think about this post every time I fuck up this malfunctioning human meatsuit by doing something like "sleeping funny" or "existing non-ergonomically." Ow.

Hooded Nudibranch on Vancouver Island’s south coast today. This predatory sea slug uses rhythmic lateral flexion to transport itself underwater. What a fantastic creature! 🇨🇦🌊🦑
