I have never heard of any newsrooms with alarming practices like those described in this thread. If you have, I’d like to hear from you. Contact in bio.

After decades of crystallized honey in sticky plastic dispensers that then melt in the microwave and, I’m sure, poison us, I have upgraded our honey dispenser. It is ridiculous how much of a difference it makes re: clean up and storage.

Thank you to actual genius Daness Myricks for enabling the chartreuse eyes of my dreams.

One of the most apparent truths about universities in this era is that student journalists have tended to exhibit the greatest courage and tenacity when it comes to applying their institutional mottos and academic lessons to the world.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Now that I live in The Land of Mushrooms and can dry my own, I am actually using the dried mushrooms in the cupboard to make soup. Currently soaking porcinis and morels to mix with fresh chanterelles. Incredible.

Bluesky appears to still not sync up the app and desktop fully, so that I'm not following some longtime mutuals when I see them on my desktop. Don't worry, I've been seeing your posts. XO

“The hype works because the warnings aren’t dissuading investors from putting their money into AI, says Widder, the professor at the University of Texas in Austin. ‘I think they’re hearing that and going, ‘Wow, these seem really powerful. Maybe I should consider this investment.’” A good round up.

I spent years working with survivors of sexual violence and I’m reading about the case but what you will see from me over the next however many weeks it takes is counter-programming or, at most, oblique commentary. Take care, y’all.

We now pause our regularly scheduled dystopia to bring you Florence Pugh realigning the stars in acid chartreuse and silver gray satin Westwood neo-Victorian with hair and makeup in perfect agreement omfg.

Florence Pugh looking magnificent in a chartreuse satin top with a billowy sleeves and puffy ruffle around the neckline that extends up and our away from her neck to frame her face before plunging down to a super low black beaded corset around her waist. The skirt of the dress is gray satin cut on the bias mermaid style with a slight train. Her hair is piled up on her head in a Victorian updo with blonde highlights picking up the chartreuse and her eyes are done in shimmering gray.

Christa Pike was tortured yesterday by the state of TN in every single USians name and the fact is that this is a country that is mostly OK with this. This says everything about all of us. We are all implicated in this barbaric practice. It's sickening.
