So there's this huge dudebro in my class, who, yesterday, sat next to me. And I'm sitting there sweating because like... I'm wearing my shirt with the lesbian flag on it, and he's the most popular jock in school, and always has this look on his face that say
'I can and will kill you. He looks me up and down, stares at me for a minute and then goes, "So. Girls in skirts and long socks, am I right?"
To which I nodded solemnly, both out of agreement, surprise and also a healthy amount of awkward fear.
He nodded and went, "You get it."
I said, "Yep." He fistbumped me, and on went our lives.
good-ho-mens
Oh! I forgot to mention! I saw him at lunch the same day, and he ran up to me, tapped me on the shoulder, pointed at this super sweet girl who comes to GSA and asked if she's gay. I told him he should ask her because that's not my place and he said he would.
I thought that would be the end of it.
Except ten minutes later he came back and told me he found out (she's bi) and that both of us have a shot. I said "You more than me." because he's
attractive and popular.
But this wholesome dumbass looked really confused and asked, "Because I'm tall?'

good-ho-mens
So this isn't lesbian/jock solidarity but I thought you guys would want to know-
My math teacher was trying to fix the rolling whiteboard and he just offhand said "This would be easier with a wrench"
And deadass, dudebro said "Hang on" and then proceeded to pull a fucking wrench out of his backpack
good-ho-mens
Update- after school today he saw me in the library and he didn't say anything? He just pointed at the book he was holding and I gave him a thumbs up because it's a pretty good book, and he went "Yes!" Really quiet and pumped his fist and then left
good-ho-mens
Okay so today he asked me if I know how to help people having a panic attack and I was like yeah? And he smiled at me and then went "cool I think I'm having one"
And I was like what the fuck Colin we're in the middle of Tech class sit down and we went out in the hall and sat there for a while and he told me about the test he's stressed about so we kind of went over his study guide and when he was feeling better he kind of like... smacked his head against mine gently? And I helped him up even though he's almost a foot taller than me and yeah
good-ho-mens
Today at lunch we walked to the football field and laid in the grass and I told him thank you for being my friend (because I don't have that many) and fistbumped me and said, "You always looked so nice and chill, how could I not want to be your friend?"
And honestly y'all, I would've started crying if he hadn't sneezed and accidentally smacked me

Following the publication of the articles of adenolymphatic persistence of sars cov 2 in healthy, asymptomatic children, I am comfortable claiming the natural rate of Sars cov 2 clearance is O...

NotOstriching @NotOstriching
"The natural rate of SARS Cov 2 clearance is 0"
So viral persistence in 100% of infected subjects!
The burden of proof has been put on the wrong side of the equation - prove vp exists rather than prove clearance exists.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Alt text is a legit disability accommodation. If you’re going to be an asshole and put something deliberately rude and unhelpful in there, don’t add any alt text at all. This isn’t edgy or funny, it’s cruel and crass and just exposes you as someone who doesn’t give a shit about other people.

Finally got another bookshelf to uncover the dining room table again. These aren’t sorted really, except where I noticed books by the same author, but I’m tired and the sorting is incomplete. This is a fiction shelf, there’s a nonfiction shelf on another wall, not shown. #BookshelfPorn

They’re doing what they always do - setting a bomb to go off when they assume Dems will be back in control so they can blame all of the carnage on the left. And it’s been working for decades.

Medicaid cuts won't be felt until after 2026 midterms, Republican says
Republican Representative Mike Flood, who sat through stormy town hall meetings in his home Nebraska district as Republicans were putting the bill together, predicted that voters in 2026 will experience economic and job growth as a result of the legislation.
He also said the effects of Medicaid changes will not be felt until after the election.
"There's ton of fear mongering that has gone on.
Every emotional lever you can pull to scare people, some of our most vulnerable, has been done. And by the time we're ready for the '26 elections, there's going to be a choice between pro-growth, pro-job, Republicans and Democrats like the recent nominee for New York City that wants government run grocery stores, that's going to be the choice," Flood said.

Noooo, it’s time for LGBTQ+ Wrath Month! (And Disability Pride Month!)

Three panel cartoon. In the first panel, a white goose wears a rainbow bow tie and says “Pride months over”. In panel two, the goose bends over so you just see his tail, and he says “so now it’s…”

In the third panel, the goose has a knife in his bill and it reads “Wrath Month”.

Been feeling the art itch again lately, thank Bob. Swatches some new gouaches from ShinHan today, and they’re loooovely. Amazing what you can do with three good primaries. I could have done more if I wasn’t running out of room!

Worlds burning down, so here, have a photo of my new bookshelf. Plenty of books to fill it, but taking a break to make time for some existential terror.

A wood and metal bookshelf with five shelves, which are partially filled with books. On the top right, there’s a faux skeleton with just a skull and rib cage with moss and mushrooms on it, to appeal to my latent bog witch tendencies. The wall behind the book shelf is, sadly, beige.

So Bunny Expert suggested that I put on gloves and very gently try to pick him up to check for any signs of injury, but that if he hopped away, to let him go on with his bunny life as planned. Ultimately, he went off into the woods where his sibling went earlier today. Huzzah!

After a couple of hours, bunny had just burrowed a bit deeper in the grass but had stayed in the same spot.

I also texted a friend from the rehab, who checked in with a bunny rehabber. We’re reptile types, so additional expertise was called for. Bunny expert confirmed my internet research, so we gave him some quiet time.

A preface: I belong to a wildlife rehabbers association. I am not certified, though I’ve done some training in preparation for it. Today, while mowing the lawn, Hubby noticed this lil dude in the grass. A slightly bigger one bolted away, but this little guy stayed put.

Touching grass is all well and good, but sometimes that’s not enough. Sometimes, you need to touch fur.

Fuck me, I just realized my chances of getting felt up at the airport are about to approach 100% for all future trips.

This is a photo of a potoo, a very strange bird whose head is 75% eyes and somehow also 87% mouth. This particular potoo has its mouth closed and its head tilted slightly downward. Its eyes are half closed, and its expression is giving not. fucking. impressed. This bird has had enough of your bullshit.

The Trump administration plans to bring in a group of Afrikaner refugees to the U.S. from South Africa next week. Afrikaners, for those who are unaware, are white South Africans, the recent descendants of those who created apartheid-one of the most despicable and racist systems of government in history. ICE is rounding up Black and brown people, kicking them out of the country, and sending some to concentration camps without any due process, while the White House is inviting in white South Africans, helping with travel, creating a special program just for them. The administration is even sending government officials to Dulles airport to welcome them. The white supremacy at work here is as brazen as it gets.

Trump Officials Seek to Bring First White Afrikaner Refugees to U.S. Next Week The rapid relocation of the Afrikaners, who President Trump says have been racially persecuted in South Africa, stands in stark contrast to the virtual shutdown of all other refugee admissions.

(Query)
If a President of the United States were trying to destroy the country but did not want to be caught doing so, what sort of steps might we expect him to take?

(Response)
A President aiming to undermine the country while avoiding detection would likely pursue subtle, gradual actions that erode stability without triggering immediate alarm. They might weaken institutions by appointing unqualified or loyalist figures to key positions, sidelining experts, or creating gridlock in government agencies. Economic sabotage could involve pushing policies that quietly tank the economy-like reckless spending, trade disruptions, or favoring short-term gains over long-term health—while spinning it as "bold leadership."
They could also strain national unity by amplifying divisive issues, subtly encouraging unrest, or letting infrastructure and defense decay under the guise of budget cuts or mismanagement. Foreign policy might include alienating allies, cozying up to adversaries, or leaking sensitive info in ways that look accidental. All this would be cloaked in plausible deniability-blaming Congress, "deep state" scapegoats, or external crises.
