Introduce yourself with the last five concerts you saw:
(I'm including in person and streamed)

The Rose
Monsta X
J-Hope
Rocket Club
BTS

This skews Kpop but only 2 are in person and that's cuz I haven't wanted to go to many in person concerts since 2020 and Kpop is so good at streaming.

I really need to. We haven’t seen the mouse in 2 days, since he got into my weed gummies and ate one then ate half a pack of ramen somehow??? If he is gone, what a way to go!

We used to live here was amazing! Also you are kind of expected to be a bit lost through some of Gideon the Ninth, because Gideon herself doesn’t really pay the best attention. But it clicks when she catches on.

You ever eat a nice warm meal of nice comforting chicken noodle soup but then that cozy sleepy feeling turns into outright fainting because your body decided blood for digestion was more important than blood for brain?
Anyways vasovagal syncope is a bitch.

I've always said this, but since last November, I've been pointing this out frequently in whatever venues to whatever audiences I can: "The planet NASA studies most is Earth."

Celeste Labedz @celestelabedz.bsky.social · 5d

A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

I appreciate you trying to do your job and get things done, but why did you throw trans troops under the bus?

Look. If your partner is regularly laid up with chronic pain or illness, and you say they can’t keep candy in the bedroom because it will attract mice, then I think it’s only fair that you get them a snack when they have the munchies. #wheresmyreesecup #sadness

What a delight to learn that most people aren't in fact raging LGBTQ-phobic shitweasels

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

As a theoretical cosmologist, I'm frequently asked "what is the benefit of the work you're doing for people's lives?" Nothing I work on makes money or cures disease.

There are a few different answers one can give, at various levels of "convincing" / "actually relevant to why the work is done."

My therapist just told me “I feel like we are all collectively in that Edvard Munch ‘The Scream’ painting right now.”

So that’s how it’s going.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

If true, this is the latest example of Donald Trump, Kash Patel, and the entire administration weaponizing the federal government to silence speech and deny our LGBTQ+ community’s existence. Plus, it’s illegal.
