The single most important skill for a self employed person is acting like you believe you have a real job. I have mastered this about 75% of the time.

I can't help but think about the nerves of steel those people had to cultivate to do high-speed flips on a slippery surface with blades on their feet only for figure skating to have a reputation as a sissy sport

instead of arguing about whether AI art is art we should put to bed the asinine question of what "counts" as "art" and just all agree that AI art sucks

epic handshake meme. One arm is labelled "neurotypical women trying to hurt your feelings on purpose." The other arm is labelled "autistic men trying to pay a sincere compliment." The handshake is labelled, in quotation marks, "'It's really cool how you don't care too much about how you look!'"

LOVE when insects are so fuzzy and round and big-eyed they actually manage to activate my maternal instincts. Ten million generations of foremothers sitting in my brainstem trying to convince me this moth can breastfeed. Being a living thing is so unserious <3

somebody is in my youtube comments replying to dozens of unrelated comment threads to say that Jesus and Elijah are about to be reincarnated as women and then join together in a lesbian marriage, and I just wanna say this is one of the best psychoses I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing

making a video about Charon and Pluto and being flooded with comments saying "this is why Charon should've been called Proserpina" is making me ornery all over again about the internet romanticisation of the myth that was, until very recently, known as "the rape of Persephone"

as a woman on the internet, there's no amount of stupid that you can sarcastically pretend to be that will actually read as sarcasm, because there's no limit to how stupid your interlocutor is willing to believe you are. In a sane world this would be funny but this guy WOULD just believe me 😭

demanding science explain human consciousness is like demanding science explain constellations. you drew a picture around the stars and then asked why the stars have a picture on them. checkmate atheists, i guess

i love social media scicomm cause sometimes you're blowing people's minds with mass extinction poetry and sometimes you're scrolling through science papers idly wondering if you could get away with naming your daughter "oscarella"

love telling the "humans can't be animals because we have consciousness" crowd that I also don't believe in consciousness like it's kind of an oversimplification of my actual beliefs, but it makes them 404 so bad I LOVE it

The UK's biggest and best dinosaur-themed event - #DinoConUK - happens July 25th-26th at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. Tickets aren't yet on sale but places for accommodation are, and we're taking vendor applications too. Put it in the diary now, we can't wait to see you!

my bitchy too-woke opinion is that people find it harder to clock satire by women because deep down they don't believe that women are smart enough to be funny on purpose

Unless the 19 year old who explained this to me the other day was lying to take the mickey (which would be hilarious and she's so valid if that was indeed the plan), the 6 7 joke is that it doesn't mean anything. In case anyone else was wondering. On a semi-related note, you just lost the game.

"The devil went down to the crossroads, and I went to Baltimore to watch the ships come in" I was having thoughts about port cities and/as liminal spaces, so I sampled the sea chantey "Leaving of Liverpool" and wrote a song about it. musicbyastrid.bandcamp.com/track/baltim...

the electronic signs on DC metro platforms say "BRD" while the train is at the platform, which always unscrolled into "Be Right Dere" in my head. I didn't think it actually stood for that, but I couldn't think of anything else that made sense and I'd never bothered to ask. Anyway it's "boarding"

was completely fine but now i'm sobbing bc i remembered that (as far as i know) every language has a word for mother that sounds something like "mama" because that's the first consonant that babies can reliably produce

i know some people believe that if a region has popular anti-gay beliefs in systemic politics then it deserves to be bombed to rubble, but we'd have to move half the music industry outta nashville first and i just think that's too much of a hassle

Plz forgive another post about Astrid Lundberg (@oddpride.com) In my youth, I was chided for writing from an assumed position of cultural literacy; that everyone had seen/read what I had Here, Astrid compellingly makes the case that this is a facet of neurodivergent communication to be cherished🧵

the 1950s pop music hyperfixation has taken me to google maps where i am currently staring at lubbock looking for insight into what was going on with buddy holly & the crickets, which is how i just found out that there's an american windmill museum (it is in lubbock) (it was not there in the 1950s)

on one hand the antlered-ness of santa's reindeer in the middle of winter seems to imply that they're female, since male reindeer don't keep their antlers year round on the other hand, typically neither male nor female reindeer fly, so

Actually new (to me) Crickets fact just dropped: this one time on tour, the Crickets got ambushed by a bunch of local guys who said they were going to kill them because “their” local girls were crushing on them too much. So Buddy pulled a gun on them (sometimes guys are from Texas 🥀) AND THEN 🧵

You'd think "pterosaurs" & "kink-shaming" are two things that couldn't go hand-in-hand, and yet, a homoerotic scandal between two intellectual equals led to the discovery of the first pterosaur. Buckle in for some Crazy Rich Prussians & their unlikely connection to the discovery of pterosaurs 🧵

Just found out it's possible to get a man to stop kissing you against your will by picking him up off the ground and giving him a lil twirl. Too charmed and startled to stop me from walking away afterwards. Shitty way to find out but good pro tip I guess 💀
