I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

the Heroic Protector Fantasy is rarely of real use to women, it's just wish fulfillment about male posturing and it frequently exacerbates violence it's also much easier to imagine yourself kicking the ass of an obviously villainous stranger than to to actually intervene where you have influence

At my consult for Invisalign/braces, the orthodontist told me I'm very knowledgeable. Me to myself IMMEDIATELY: I'm going to get a great grade in orthodontics patient, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve.

In the summer, my skin looks great and my hair looks horrible. We are entering the period of reversal here, where you might be tempted to think that both look great. Alas, neither looks great. A month or so from now, they'll fully swap.

If all you think of is Christian, white conservatives when you hear “Southern” and “rural” in the same conversation, you’re very literally failing to recognize how much history of defiance and resistance to Christian white nationalism has been happening in the South, since it’s been the South.

I put my waffles in the air fryer, walked across the street, got a chai, and got back to my place right as my waffles finished. What delight!

Minor pet peeve: When English subs on CDramas translate meíshì ba as "Are you alright?" and then the other character shakes their head No (when they're fine.) Can we pleeease translate this as something like, "Is there anything wrong?" instead? It makes the body language make so much more sense.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Koho Shoda "Moonlit Sea" (1920) Japanese color woodblock print 24 × 16.5 cm (9.5 × 6.5 in). #ArtSky #KohoShoda
Koho Shoda - "Moonlit Sea" (1920) 
Movement: Shin-hanga, which revitalized traditional ukiyo-e collaborative printmaking by integrating Western techniques like the realistic depiction of light, shadow, and atmosphere. 
Composition: The piece features a small fishing boat moving slowly across a calm sea, illuminated by the soft path of a full moon, framed beautifully by delicate silhouette reeds in the foreground

Guys, I was watching my current CDrama and there was an entire (multi-word!) sentence in Mandarin that I understood without subtitles. It meant "I know she is your woman." 😂 That semester in high school almost 20 years ago really paid off. 👀👌🏻

It is absolutely INSANE that our district & union have sent out information this week about what we should do if we are exposed to MEASLES at work. The fuck is this country coming to. Luckily, I work in a school district where 95%+ of students are vaccinated, so likelihood is slim, but still. 😐

School’s in! And so is Scarleteen’s annual fundraiser. We’re raising $7k for our 7m visitors in 2026. Chip today or become a monthly recurring donor here: give.gofundme.com/7kfor7m
Yellow school bus against a teal background. The side of the bus reads "Scarleteen. Queer sex ed for all since 1998." The text above the bus reads "Your math homework: help Scarleteen raise $7,000 by September 28th so a trans- and queer-led team of REAL PEOPLE can provide inclusive sex, health, and relationships education. (AI is an automatic F!)" in red and black text.

and like why are we centering the complaints of the parents who think the value of sports is "my kid might become a star" instead of the ones who are like "this is a great way to learn teamwork, move your body every day, work hard at a skill, and learn how to lose or fail at things with grace"
