Kinda hard to explain how I visualize calendar years but basically I see each past decade as a row of 10 years until 1980, when the years just keep going in a long row. 1/2
Is it normal that when I think about calendar years or their progression, my brain plots them as an axonometric projection in trimetric view, with odd decades (1970s etc) moving up the more foreshortened z axis and even ones (1980s) on the x?

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜
The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Let's recognize the Black trailblazers who push our country closer to justice. The Black workers who power our economy. The Black culture that shapes our society. And all the ways that Black history informs and inspires us every day.
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth.

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and Republicans want to censor our history and ignore the systemic oppression of Black folks.
But Black history is American history, and no amount of white-washing or erasure will change that.

The internet forgets faster than we think, but thankfully, some people hit save. Archiving isn’t just preservation—it’s a quiet act of resistance against digital amnesia.

TikTok is not available in the app stores but is now accessible again to those who still have the app installed. So it’s technically still in compliance with the law. Last evening’s shut down was a metaphorical gun-to-the-head psych-out for its users. (1/2)
TikTok is coming back online - super weird, as right this second Trump is not President and the app is banned. This is basically illegal? www.theverge.com/2025/1/19/24...
TikTok is coming back online in the US
TikTok announced it’s ‘in the process of restoring service’ in the US.

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Something similar happened to my husband and I on 12mg capsules (we don't partake often so we are lightweights). I don't even want to imagine what it's like accidentally taking 150mg! It was 2-3 days before we were completely back to normal.

Sorry, I prefer Bubly (lime flavor, to be precise)
very hot tip: if you see this shit in the store buy it. it’s peak refreshment. mixes perfectly with gin if you’re into that kind of thing. i get it at aldi but imagine it’s elsewhere

yep.
but imo it goes much beyond that - people are always trying to convince you that you aren't happy. if you give into those thoughts you buy their solutions. and peer pressure, keeping up with the joneses, all sorts of societal pressures steer people in that direction.
