Apparently this is a hot take but if you buy boots that tear up your feet to break them in, they probably don’t fit you right

This is a big and significant win, and speaks to the real power of public advocacy campaigns. Still a VERY long way to go in the fight against the cuts, though. Join us at @tbfighters.org in pushing against attempts to cut U.S. investments in domestic and global health.

My doctor asked me at my latest appointment if I’d heard of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome before and I had a bit but didn’t think it applied because my elbows and wrists are normal but she just looked at me and my skin and my dislocatable fingers and went “I think you should at least look into it.” So.

Had to explain to someone recently the reason I ‘didn’t care when Obama did it’ is because I was 9 when he was elected.

Another sneak peek for my #CyhainoBang2025 fic entry! Coming to an Archiveofourown near you July 7! #cyhaino #cytham #haino #alhaitham #cyno #fanfic @cyhainobang.bsky.social

Cyno smiled, shaking his head in chagrin and retrieving Alhaitham's cloak from its place on the coat rack in the corner. He held it out and Alhaitham put his arms through the armholes, letting it settle over both shoulders for once.
"Would you like to walk home with me?" Alhaitham asked, putting a few things from his desk into his belt pouch, "I can't think of anything specific to talk about but I am told that friends shouldn't only see each other at work. I have been doing poorly at this."
"Well," Cyno began, following Alhaitham out of the office. "I did have another, not-work-related question."
"What is it?"
"Why are you so big? I've seen pictures, in your house, of your Grandmother and your father when he was young. Both of them seemed to be closer to my height than yours. How did you get so tall?" Cyno asked, teasingly, but in a very serious voice. Cyno said everything in a very serious voice.
Alhaitham, for the first time since Cyno had known him, laughed.
Cyno thought it might be his new favorite sound.

This makes my first time participating in a bang! Here’s a sneak peek of the fic I wrote for the #CyhainoBang2025! @cyhainobang.bsky.social

So Alhaitham has friends now, in Nilou and Tighnari, and a famous mercenary from the desert that Kaveh had yet to meet himself, and the strange man with the strange hat that now worked as Lord Kusanali's secretary of sorts.
And then there was Cyno.
Cyno, who, as far as Kaveh knew, had never been impressed with anything; once called Alhaitham's combat skills 'commendable for a scholar.
Cyno, who, at Lambad's, now rambled in a manner of subdued excitement about an exchange of word play that 'should have been expected from the brightest of Haravatat'.
Cyno, who Alhaitham let reset his shoulder when it dislocated after an incident that was not Kaveh's fault led to him falling over a railing on the tree of wisdom.
Cyno, who Alhaitham loaned his headset to when a head injury gave the General Mahamatra an unexpected migraine.
Kaveh didn't know what to make of it.

Say what you want about TikTok but when I was sad that I couldn’t dye my hair blue back in 2020, hundreds of people duetted to show me videos of their cool hair colors so I could enjoy it vicariously through others. Someone I didn’t know drew art of me with pastel blue hair. I’m gonna miss it.

Trends in Cognitive Sciences recently published an opinion piece on the threat of LLMs like ChatGPT making it easy for misinformation to be widely championed as accurate, which feeds misinformation back into the LLM, further institutionalizing the misinformation.

In July of 1981, Ken McElroy, known rapist, pedophile and general asshole of Skidmore, MO was murdered in front of his entire town. Pretty much everyone saw it and no one said a word because he was awful. The case remains unsolved. Anyway, how is the hunt for the guy who killed that CEO going?

OKAY! So. Thanks to popular culture, when most people hear "pirate ship" they think of a big, intimidating, heavily armed vessel like a galleon or a man-of-war, like this commandeered Spanish vessel from season 2 of BLACK SAILS. 🏴‍☠️

A production still of a Spanish man-of-war that's been commandeered by pirates in the show BLACK SAILS.

Sketch page of Lapin Cadbury, an anthropomorphic chocolate bunny with small round spectacles and wearing multicoloured robes that resemble tinfoil wrapping, from Dimension 20: A Crown of Candy.

Two sketches are coloured as he wields the Lollistaff, a giant purple lollipop staff. In one, he is standing with an arm behind his back, staring to one side with a stand-offish suspicion and wariness, in the other, he is rolling his eyes as he waves his hand dismissively. The rest of the page is filled with uncoloured bust portraits, one where he is smirking, one where he is staring to the side with a mild interest, and another where he is saying "Where is your bulb now?" with a self-satisfied smile.
