Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.com? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

Seconding—I assume they don’t because then they‘d have to moderate them which adds a whole extra layer of complexity, but I do miss them.

there is a whole industry of these people, making careers out of nitpicking and snark. So sorry you’ve run into it, how exhausting.

I'm thinking about this set of posts again but very much in the context of how much people conflate body types with butch/fem. Aka some of the most fem-presenting girls I know being called butch because they're not 'skinny enough.'

This turtle behavior, often called "claw fluttering", is a courtship ritual where a male turtle rapidly vibrates or waves his long front claws (or "jazz hands") near a female's face to attract her. Original post

“No,” Villanelle said and looked away haughtily from Eve, not even glancing at her except for maybe a peek to see whether Eve was crying yet, which she definitely was. “Please!” Eve begged. “It will definitely be my biggest regret in life, not kissing you before my brutal but well-deserved death.”

Honestly there’s only three paragraphs written for this so posting the rest of them here as well

My life has been wildly chaotic lately and I really want to just write girls kissing and stabbing each other.

“I am so so so so sorry I stabbed you. I am a huge asshole and a prick and just generally a very bad person,” Eve said, kneeling at the feet of the gorgeous, young, extremely fashionable woman, who was named Villanelle. “I understand why you have to stab me, but can we at least kiss first?”

Being in your mid-forties and the manager of a chain coffeeshop wasn't what Eve had imagined for herself when she was younger, but it was a living. Well, it had been a living. Before the hole in her chest.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

You kiss Eve for the first time at midnight on New Year’s Eve under a streetlamp in the rain. The next day, she tries to run you over.

Today in "there's a word for it" I have learned about the Woozle effect > The Woozle effect, also known as evidence by citation, occurs when a source is widely cited for a claim that the source does not adequately support, giving said claim undeserved credibility.

Yes! It still delights me every time. There is some kind of surrealist art there.

I really do need to turn off guest comments on AO3 I guess, given the bot-wave, but I was going back through my inbox and I need to share my second-favorite bot comment ever, "Bot that gives you horrible writing advice":

"Hello, Eve," Villanelle pivoted on the chair to look up at her, the movement dramatic in a way that seemed to warrant an orchestral swell. "I am here to kill you."

020

Rita Repulsa @ritarepulsa.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

"I mean, aside from all of this, I stabbed her once." She said it soft, like a dirty secret, but she was smiling so much, so much that Villanelle shuffled closer, a moth drawn to light, close enough that Eve took her hand, the one missing a finger she didn't know where she'd lost.

Sometimes she breathes in and your lungs flood with air. Sometimes she exhales and your ribs turn concave under your skin. "How do I make it stop?" Your body isn't your own. You didn't ask for this.

Eve types “is it normal to think about dying this much” into the search bar and doesn’t hit enter.
