Hi my name is Alana and I'm learning how to look at your bones while they're still inside of you.
Expedition 33. It's not a joyful or happy game, but it does have an underlying message of hope, and "utterly depressing but still hopeful" games (Final Fantasy X, Nier Automata) are my absolute favorite. They just hit just right.
2025 has been a rough year. What's one piece of art that's brought you absolute joy despite everything?

Small-scale, fiercely independent journalism rarely gets recognition when awards are handed out, but it's vital in our communities—especially this year. So I made an award and am thrilled to announce @unraveledpress.com and @lataco.bsky.social as the inaugural winners. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

It’s the first night of Hanukkah and the world seems like a very dark place. But we can bring light to the darkness. We can fight for each other and make goodness, love, and community shine through.
Show me your menorahs and let’s light up the timeline!

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did.
I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles

Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.
The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

Do you know how much you have to suck to make most of my friends root for the Catholic Church?
I want to believe that Vance can be excommunicated
NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.
Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

1. Someone working customer service who is throwing racist slurs at a customer absolutely deserves to lose their job.
2. Comparing that to people losing their jobs for accurately describing Charlie Kirk's actions on social media is not it.

I wrote about why we should not celebrate someone losing their job, especially in today’s America, even when they’ve done terrible racist things.
Losing a job should also be harder and involve workers’ bodies not unilateral management decisions.

I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.
Over 20,000 the past month alone.
Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"
In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:
Fish success story.
