As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:
A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

I wrote my dissertation, back in the day, about Latin poetry, and every once in a while I'll translate a bit to keep my hand in. Here's Tibullus, the great late-Republic elegy writer, about whom we know very little (Latin text also in alt; translation below).
Elegies, Book I, X, 1-14.

A colloquial German word about someone viewed as low on intellect, especially popular in the 1990s, was Teletubbyzurückwinker. It means “one who waves back at the Teletubbies.”

This handsome beast is the larva of the spurge hawkmoth (Hyles euphorbiae) of Europe, Asia & N. America. It feeds on Ephorbia spp., sequestering toxic diterpenes from its host. 📷: Wolfgang Ahlmer CCBY4. #Euphorbiaceae #Aposematism #TeamMoth #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Older man, to a younger man, one who isn’t his son: “I got a pair of boots older’n you are, son.”
Younger man, if he’s heard this before: “Don’t call me son ‘less you put me in the will.”

Maintaining my position that if baseball cannot determine a champion before Oct. 31, the players should have to wear costumes for any Halloween games.
I wanna see a walk-off by someone dressed as Pikachu while Ricky Bobby walks off the mound dejectedly.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable
You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I'm doing another print run of these "Biology is Bigger than Binaries" shirts!
Back, quite literally, by popular demand. Bullying works, sure, but so does a bunch of nice cutie patooties politely asking!
Order 'em now, I'll mail 'em in early November.
