I've become allergic to my childhood boxer in recent years. Naturally that means I've been popping a Benadryl daily while home for the holidays. I could just refuse the old girl's love, but I love her cuddles too so I just cope with it. In other news, the Hat Man is real. I met him last night.

The use of non-perforated toilet paper in public (and my dorm’s) restrooms is so frustrating to me Sure, let’s let my uncoordinated ass pull out half the roll in one swipe. We love a toilet bowl filled with single-ply! #toiletthoughts

I’m still committed to not searching on this app and instead see where the winds take me with just likes/follows and the bog-standard feed. That being said, I’m a big fan of linguistics and the USWNT, *wink* *wink* ?

Screenshot of BBC article, “Canada’s Justin Trudeau cannot say how often he wore blackface.”

Excerpted quote below video of a press conference featuring Trudeau: “I come from a place of privilege”

“19 September 2019”

“Canada's PM Justin Trudeau has said he cannot remember how often he wore blackface as a younger man, as a scandal deepened ahead of an election.

He was speaking after more images of him wearing black make-up when he was younger emerged.

‘I am wary of being definitive about this because of the recent pictures that came out, I had not remembered,’ he told reporters in Winnipeg.”

The rest of the article is not contained within the screenshot.

Is this from the Book of Hours? I tried reverse image searching it but couldn’t find a clear source

Whoa! Must be doing something right with my algorithm; y’all popped up on my feed, and I have deliberately not searched for anything on here so far. It’s incredible that I’ve found y’all so quickly!

But the only reason I’m sharing this all with you is so that I can continue to procrastinate on work for my thesis. Huzzah!

I bought some mushrooms at the farmers’ market on Broadway today. They are called “wishi” in the Cherokee language. You may know them better by their Japanese name “maitake” or the English “hen-of-the-woods.” I’m excited to share them with my Cherokee professor tomorrow!

This isn’t real. Shame on you and the proliferation of accounts that don’t do the proper due diligence for their posts.

Just saying “Image credit:- NASA Hubble” means literally nothing. Learn how to properly cite your sources please.

Yep! (From the first volume of the student publication, the CJSTribune.) @aidaalami.bsky.social
A full-page vertical editorial on inside of the Volume 1, Fall 2024, of the CJSTribune. The top of the page reads, “According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 78* journalists and media workers were killed in 2024. We pay tribute to, and remember them here.
*as of the date of publication.” Alongside the names of 54 of the deceased journalists are the words “Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory,” indicating the “Country/Territory” of their deaths. The locations listed under “City/Town/Village/Area” next to those 54 names, every single one of them is in Palestine.

Any audiobook recommendations? … like not just a good book, but a good book with a great audio performance, too. I would prefer something available on Spotify, but any genre is fine. Thank you!

Why do stars look so pointy in James Webb Space Telescope images?
The stars' distinctive spikes are optical artifacts created by the way light interacts with the telescope.

I don’t think this is real. Photographs from Hubble create four-pointed stars because of the camera lens. I don’t see that here. I only searched briefly, but reverse image searching this does not bring you to any reliable sources either. Citing your sources means actual citation, not vague gesture.

Both prophetess & prophecy. #TheLastDinnerParty
It is a photograph of the music video “Caesar on a TV Screen.” The screen is captioned “Abigail Morris as CAESAR” overtop the lead singer of the band “The Last Dinner Party.” Morris is entering into view through theatrical red curtains while dressed as the titular Caesar.

This photograph was taken by the artist named Francisco Sojuel on a volcano in Guatemala. That is interesting context that’s missing here! And the actual photographer should be given due credit. Link to the insta: www.instagram.com/francisco_so....
