Hey, I’m pretty deep in a hole rn, and I know a lot of other ppl are too, different ones of varying kinds and darknesses and depths… but we’re all here together, even if we can’t always see each other.

I love you, I want you here, and I hope if you need it tonight that you see this and know it.

The best thread on the Edmund Fitzgerald you'll read.
#OTD in Weather History, 48 years ago, on November 10, 1975, the ore freighter SS EDMUND FITZGERALD was lost with all hands in a severe storm on Lake Superior.

She is perhaps the best known shipwreck on the Great Lakes, and today we remember her loss. 1/

There are a couple pricey tea calendars I would love to have…
everything is bonkers right now and we need a timeline cleanse. let’s play a game. if I handed you a blank check but you could ONLY spend it on an Advent calendar, what absurdly pricy collection of little treats are you buying yourself?

whenever a ghost or demon tries to use the memories of a dead loved one to convince me to do its bidding, rather than going "...p... papa?? but you died ten years ago this very night!" I just remember the most important scam attempt in history and it gives me the strength to carry on

one of the biggest contributors to Elon’s loser energy is that he desperately wants to be cool, but doesn’t understand that a big part of being cool is appearing unaffected. he’s one of the most affected men of all time.
Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

So there's this thing called the Exeter Book, it's a codex from 1072 that's basically some rich guy's mixtape of Old English poetry. The interesting thing is it's heavily water damaged in the back half so the closer you get to the end of the book the more and more of each page is just missing

The book ends with a poem called "The Ruin", about a ruin, but the poem itself is ruined, full of holes, followed by about 30 pages of riddles that are increasingly impossible to solve because more and more words are missing. I don't know why I'm telling you this except it's one of my favorite facts

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

This, btw, is my most recent favorite version of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (blasphemous, perhaps, but so like it better than the original 🤷🏻‍♀️). Enjoy.

The thread got much longer. I have way too many of these memes… Remembering the boys of the Fitz on the 50th anniversary AND celebrating a great song at the same time. o7

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

they understand insurance. the entire premise of libertarian opposition to mandatory insurance is that they should not have to care about anyone else and be permitted to take risks. it's the same opposition to vaccination and taxation.

they are bad neighbors.

they do not care about community unless it's the "right" community and at that point they are happy to direct government services which raises some interesting questions about libertarian principles you know the answer to

on the other hand, when they say "40% of people don't use insurance" they aren't stating a libertarian principle, they are trying to SELL their selfish propaganda by getting people to treat their own health risks like Kalshi until they reach 40. it's sportsbook advertising as policy discourse.

On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.

My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.

I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.

My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.

My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.
