In case you need something unbearably cute on your TL today, my colleague found four abandoned hedgehog babies in her garden, so she and her family are now raising them. Part of that is weighing them to check if they're growing well. And they do it like this. 🥹♥️
Photo of a small hedgehog baby inside a tiny little planting pot on top of the smallest kitchen scale they could find. The little hedgehog is barely big enough to look over the rim of the pot.

People are being very weird about celebrity couples on Instagram again and I think few things are as disturbing to me as the parasocial relationships y'all have with famous people on social media. I mean, also in general, but especially on social media things get so deeply, deeply weird.

No matter how hard I try to not see, hear or read anything about fucking Oktoberfest, Google continually tries to get me to read articles about celebrities & all the other shit that I absolutely never want to know, but esp not during Oktoberfest. Everything I know about it, I know against my will.

I understand the deeply horrified rage paired with all the other emotions ppl, esp women, are experiencing with the ongoing conversation started by the Cornell 7. I feel that too, but also don't feel like I can partake in that for more than a few minutes a day before getting up & away from my phone

When I see people like JCO and others who are getting closer to the 100 than they are to 50, make statements and comments that range from incredibly ignorant to ridiculously misguided, I always wish I could sit them down with my grandparents. My grandfather especially, before he passed away.

Today conversations in the center were all about jobs and futures and options, but also the most terrible moment might've been the 15 yr old who looked at me completely flabbergasted when I didn't say yes to the questions "But isn't water endless? Like, we can't ever run out of water, right?" JFC.

Also I should not be thinking about a song about Texas I've never heard at 4am in the morning, so I guess all the chatter did what it was designed to do. 😂🫠

Mx M @mxmreads.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
What's funny to me in this whole discussion abt the Texas song, the great swings it tries to take about classism & the "you live in a bubble" argument is that it's so quintessential American & also absolutely ignorant of how music, culture, industry & media work in 2026. It's actually really wild.

Today was a reminder of why all the skinny bullshit makes me extra enraged these days. We spent years watching one of the grandmothers suffer after a botched surgery she was forced to have so she'd lose weight in order to become eligible for knee replacement surgery. At the end she was too weak

Also, people wanting to "normalize" saying 'I don't know enough about this to say something' have lost the fucking plot. You can use that exactly once, okay. And then you go and educate yourself so the next time you are able to speak. Normalize *that*, not languishing in willful ignorance.

Ngh, I committed to giving my mom a bouquet of paper flowers made out of old books I got from the library (they were getting rid of them and got a ton of loose pages out of it). Now it's after midnight and I have exactly four flowers, which is at best half of a bouquet. Her birthday is Saturday. 🫠

Also in the middle of the show we got an interlude which was a combination of a poem & video clips, and it was *magnificent*. My favorite line might forever be The tears that I sow Are the waves that I weep And so I turn my tears into a tsunami sea I might've teared up just a bit.

Ah, what a wonderful concert evening. Saw Dying Wish, Jinjer & Spiritbox. We had speaking out against the genocide in Gaza, several songs for the sisters & dolls & the girls, gays & theys. Also some emotional words, reminiscing about Vancouver Island, a couple of tears & a lot of flying hair.

I only saw glimpses of what apparently is a reaction to something going on with cis women in m/m romance spaces and I'm not gonna lie, I'm glad I don't know what it is. Which isn't to say that I don't think there are a million things worth having a conversation or fine over, bc there are.

One of the shittiest realities of this timeline is that everybody needs to have quick and loud sound bites for social media ready even before all ballots in elections are counted, and then they get increasingly more unhinged as the night goes on.

Well. *slightly hysterical laughter* I spent the afternoon catching the new practical magic with the boys instead of looking at election updates. I think that was good. There's a fuckton of things to look at now though, I don't think our government is prepared at all for what's coming our way.

"Salary discrepancies should only determine how luxurious your lifestyle is, not if you can afford to live or have a roof over your head." Okay, but... Should they, though? Really, honestly. Should they determine that?

You know what, let me ask the people. I am looking for a contemporary adult romance book. Preferably queer and/or Black romance, but at this point I'm not even picky. It just needs to have a farm animal on the cover - and I'm not counting cats or dogs. Yes, I've read the Abby Jimenez one.

I hate having to do deep dives on books and people to find out if AI might have been used. It's exhausting and literally makes me not want to find new ebooks or new to me authors to try out. The moment I have to spend 30 minutes to investigate if any of it was stolen, I'm done with wanting to read.

Gah, I keep talking about this musical but also there is a storyline of a lesbian couple having a baby. Once the baby is there, the relationship falls apart for many reasons, not all of it pretty. But there's a scene where one MC says "I'm sorry, I guess I'm not the family type after all."

My walk to work today was survived by me with the help of the songs Super Nova Disco Slut & Freedom is the Most Beautiful City - both from the musical about queer Berlin during the 90s. I'm pretty sure I haven't walked that forcefully up a hill before. (While trying not to cry, that is.)

I've still been sitting with this musical we watched on Friday. It's a queer musical. A group of people - a found family - squatting in an old building in East Berlin in the 90s. I've never seen anything like it. Most of all bc in Germany nobody wants to finance a queer musical set in the 90s.

The 1st thing I tell my teens in our political education sessions is "Neutral isn't an attitude or opinion, it's a pH value." Literally the first thing. And that has nothing to do with right or left, right or wrong, party A, B or C. It's just a fact. "Neutral" isn't a political stance, it's a lie.

This whole Pink thing reminds me of all the former wannabe rebels in my city who now live in condos in the gentrified neighborhood they used to set on fire during squatting disputes with the city 15 years ago. They got old, got some money and handed in their backbone at the car dealership.

In other news it's been hard, working through the election results at the center. So many teens do not know what any of it even means. For all the incredibly successful propaganda campaigns on social media, most of my young teens can't define or explain a single thing when it comes to politics.
