You know the viral dance to maps? The emotion wrenching soul crushing song. How did we land on the interpretive dance for that being a traffic warden into a bumble bee ? Asking for a friend

Also curious about this. What’s the music scene like on here at the moment?
If you have any recommendations for musicians on this platform please throw them our way. We’re excited to be launching our first single in January but it feels like years away 🥲

I keep thinking about Sharon Rooney and Nicola Coughlan in Barbie. I adore them and I’m glad they were there, but I wish the film had gone deeper into weight and body image. (Then again, maybe what I want is less of a film and more of a dissertation.)

reading this line in cultish about what religions do — provide meaning, purpose, sense of community, and ritual — and feeling like our non-religious generation has been trying to find all those things in work, and thus dismayed and betrayed when things like layoffs happen

The fediverse is one thing, but I think it’d be even cooler to see what kind of platform could be built if the community were truly brought into its development. I’m struck by how many users want to help shape a safe and supportive Bluesky; what if the team facilitated that?

Sandal has announced he's on a WGA sympathy strike. he claims he will not work again unless the bosses stop being awful to workers. i noted that he has never worked, ever: has he been on strike this entire time? "well, have the bosses ever not been awful?" he sagely replied.
