this is my biggest accomplishment of 2025 — I taped an unripe avocado back together, and it actually ripened!
IT WORKED!!!!

The part that had been cut had turned rubbery, but when I cut that off, the rest of the avocado was soft and delicious!

The nutjobs are coming out of the woodwork with a new Star Trek show with a diverse cast coming out this week. It's fucking hilarious to see them complaining about DEI in Trek when its creator literally said the following:

Trans ppl constitute “a group obsessed with its own victimhood.” I came across this phrase recently when I examined the language of contempt regularly deployed by bigoted publications and how it became mainstream.

Let’s take factual stock of this assertion🧵

why does it just feel *good* to do stereotypically autistic actions: toe-walking, flappy hands, full-body wiggling, t-rex arms, etc?
and do neurotypicals feel good when they do it as well?

I truly can't wait until the day when we accurately reframe this as "non-neurodiverse people are more likely to apply morals, judgments, & principles inconsistently esp. when their social standing is threatened, and less inclined to show empathy unless doing so garners them a social reward."
No, autistics do not “lack empathy”: “Where researchers had assumed impairment, they found autistic people applying moral principles more consistently—even to strangers, even when costly.” By Ludmila Pradlova.

What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People
For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.

Think it’s always a good time to note that they aren’t resisting not out of hypocrisy or fear, but because they understand “freedom” or “overreach” to mean something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

Not freedom FROM oppression, but freedom TO OPPRESS.

As ICE is doing. Or as civil rights efforts thwarted.
The fact that all these second amendment "we need ahr guns to resist guvment overreach" losers are now cheering on ICE versus citizens who are standing up to the government (with NO weapons) tells you everything you need to know about the hollowness of their ideology. Sad little scared boys.

a lot of people think the cops should be allowed to shoot you dead if you disrespect them. No word on what you should be allowed to do when the cops disrespect you.

thinking about how much it sucks that the fascist takeover of the US aligns with the rise of generative AI so that it's hard to believe anything. wondering if the timing of it was a plan coming together, a coincidence, seizing an opportunity, something in between

something to think about today that isn't "the US is collapsing into fascism":

chemically, what defines an acidic solution is that it has a higher concentration of H+ ions than OH- ions; that's actually what pH measures, as it's mathematically the inverse logarithmic concentration of H+ ions

Warning for pet owners.
So... TIL that the bacteria which can grow in dog shampoo can give your poor baby a skin infection REAL fast.

Poor Davos is getting THREE baths this week bc he needs his medicated shampoo AND he has to wear PAJAMAS (instead of the sweatshirts which he prefers) so he can't scratch himself.

fight erasure with inclusion, not erasure.
This is the thing that I struggle to get people to understand. I don't want to eradicate my adoptive parents from the history of my life. They raised me and that's important. But I don't want a legal document to lie and say they conceived me. I want to change the document to include EVERYBODY.

to agree with MJ:
i think that to respect the right every person has to their genetic/genealogical origins, and to respect the rights of queer people to form families, we *have* to examine the cisheteronormative assumptions built into the birth certificate itself. 🥚

"Don't publicly announce things a murderous regime might try to arrest, detain, deport, or kill you for"

Does not mean

"Don't resist at all"

Ffs, people, LEARN TO DO THINGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE WITHOUT ANNOUNCING THEM.

Jimmy Eat World’s banger of a record Bleed American turns 25 this year. Two years ago, I produced a cover compilation of the record with a bunch of great musicians on it. All proceeds go to Trans Lifeline. I think it’s pretty good. I hope you do too.
