Reader, artist-lover, and avid dog. Mostly reposts. Interested in politics but not political lines, pithy social commentary, fandom, and whatever the menswear guy is. Queer, Jewish, autistic.
NTs: So, they've found genetic markers for different types of autism, and there's no single autism, you really are totally different from my non-verbal nephew who just lines stuff up all day!
Me: Mm

anyway my brave take is that Bluesky isn't really working because you just can't launch a text-based social media platform in the era of Big Video And Picture Slop and expect it to flourish, most people don't really want to type or read

I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less.
Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.

As we do digital battle with antisemites, just want to recommend Talmudic Insults and Curses by Arthur Helft. Full of excellent sayings applicable to trolls who say they know what’s in the Talmud, but in reality wouldn’t know a karmelit if they fell dick-first off a roof into one.

one thing that I love about parenthood is that there is a universal bond around ridiculous shit you do to entertain your children
we are at swim class for the five year old and my wife is going around like a kangaroo while the seven year old chases her gleefully and no other parents even bat an eye

Theoretically, I know how to make fabric out of a pile of wool or other fibers, and I've done each of the steps individually, but I could work for a week and end up with a somewhat lumpy misshapen piece of fabric the size of a handkerchief. And I'd need some wood and something sharp as tools.

Reading a book on the development of obscenity in English and TIL that "loo" and "lavatory are etymologically totally unrelated. Had always thought one was a diminutive of the other.

"Team rituals" are regular activities/practices, eg huddles, team lunches, check-ins, celebrations. New research shows teams with more rituals have more engagement, psychological safety, knowledge & job satisfaction, leading to higher productivity/performance: lnkd.in/eXNNvP-G Art: lnkd.in/e_XmBeg9

Working out a scenario where Pornhub has to launch a prestigious monthly print magazine in order to stay online in Tennessee. This is how we bring the business back: ransoming access to stepsister-stuck-in-washing-machine content with long-form literary criticism and Malcolm Harris book excerpts.

Was at a meeting with a guest speaker called Cliff for which I was the minute taker, so I just wrote "type up Cliff notes" on my tasklist and found that funnier than it was worth.

I like it when people complain that Satine singing her lungs out moments before dying of consumption in Moulin Rouge is unrealistic because of course everything else in that film is so very grounded and down to Earth.
