ugh, scientists are so cute
"The natural world still holds countless surprises for us," Urák told Live Science in an email. "If I were to attempt to put into words all the emotions that surged through me [when I saw the web], I would highlight admiration, respect, and gratitude. You have to experience it to truly know what it feels like."

part of a pink crochet scarf lying horizontally on the lap of a person wearing black joggers and a dark grey shirt. the scarf is being crocheted in half-double crochet stitch; it was begun on the short side of the rectangle, i don’t know how to explain it in better words. only a high T male could understand.

screenshot of a search result about belly buttons. the website is WikiHow (https://www.wikihow.com > Types-of-Belly-Buttons) Hyperlink: The 10 Types of Belly Buttons: Innies, Outies, & More page description: "Sep 12, 2025 • Belly buttons are formed when the umbilical cord is cut at birth, leaving behind the scar tissue known as your belly button.

i biked home with new big scissors in order to battle the forces of nature (huge overgrown blackberry bush that threatens my home every spring), please clap
small alleyway of a yard currently in the process of being de-bushed. a grey concrete wall is on the right, a small set of stairs are on the left. there lies at the bottom of the wall a small pile of leafy green detritus—the bones of my enemy, the blackberry bush. in the middle distance (about ten feet away), the creature menaces, thirsting for the blood of my palms and forearms (the thorns are ouchy). today’s hard labor (about fifteen minutes) has cleared a space in front of the back steps, which is nice.

in progress crochet glove with stitch markers at the bottom of the cuff. the yarn is multi-colored, and was dyed based on the palette of Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. it’s very pretty; the way i’m crocheting it is giving it a cool stripey vibe but in an impressionist way. i love this yarn.

yeah i had to screenshot it when i saw it this morning. even with seeing it myself, i couldn’t believe it.

vile fucking human being.
screenshot of two posts in a thread separated by the “View full thread” link. the first post is from a user who’s username is cut off and she’s saying: “[Palestinian flag emoji] Did you know? Before 1948, Palestine was a thriving land with schools, farms, and cinemas. It was not empty. Families lived, laughed, loved, until Then came mass expulsions. Families were killed in public executions. This wasn't a war. It was ethnic cleansing,a mass erasure of a people. [hashtag]Free” the second post is transphobic and transmisogynist nonsense spewed forth by some fucking walnut who thinks it’s feminism to police women’s bodies in public spaces. i usually copy posts verbatim, but if you’re using a screenreader, trust me, you aren’t missing anything special.

the woman who shot her dog is surprisingly callous when it comes to protecting human life, it seems.
Headline: “FEMA Didn't Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show” subheading: “Two days after deadly Texas floods, the agency struggled to answer calls from survivors because of call center contracts that weren't extended.”

the NYT doesn’t want you to see this skeet
screenshot of a now deleted skeet in which jamelle bouie calls out the NYT for publishing an article using a eugenicist as a primary source. it includes the normal rockwell painting of a dude standing up at a town hall meeting. jamelle says, “i think you should tell your readers if your source is a nazi.”

comment from: bronxite1910 “As an elderly white male that has lived in the Bronx for 35 years I do not recognize the New York City you inhabit. My congressional district is about 91 percent "minority" and 9 percent "white". I have never been mugged or even assaulted in all those years. When I am standing in a crowded bus, a younger person often says: "Papi, take my seat". I say: "Thank you" and sit down, to smiles all around. Mine (Kingsbridge) is a great neighborhood even for a non-Spanish-speaker like me. I am not bothered that I cannot understand most conversations of my neighbors. We nod and smile at each other as we pass in the street. Maybe you would feel better about your city if you relaxed a bit and smiled more.” timestamp: 6/25/25 - 3:24PM

a black and red bowl of refried beans with a spoon stuck in them sitting inside of a larger blue plastic bowl with a lid. it’s funny because i put a bowl into an entire other bowl instead of moving the leftovers from the original bowl to a Tupperware container; i didn’t even bother taking the goddamn spoon out. it’s bowl inception; or, if you prefer, bowl-ception.
