I've only been using the men's locker room at my gym for a couple of years now, but the frequency with which I've seen discarded underwear in the trash can has me concerned.
This can't be normal, right?

I have recently noticed that this is my common resting posture when leaning against the counter.
What the fuck is this? Is this some stereotyped posture like bisexual sitting?

Came out like three years ago, and I'm finally changing my Internet Name. To my name. I am very original.
Bittersweet, as I'd been using Menolly as my handle online for over 20 years now. Lots of memories attached. I still love it, but it just doesn't fit as well as it used to.

What do you do with a curse? Pass it on to your friends!
I am extremely sympathetic to @notalawyer.bsky.social’s complaint on the latest @ifbookspod.bsky.social that once you start hearing certain phrases to the tune of ”Eleanor Rigby” it is impossible to stop

“Ah," said Mr Pin. "Right. I remember. You are concerned citizens." He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where 'traditional values' meant 'hang someone'.

Trying out Focus Friend in an attempt to decrease my mindless doomscrolling. Surprised by how excited I was to finally get my bean, Nattōlie, her own desk today.
Unfortunately, the state of the country (not to mention the rest of the world) is still giving me anxiety.

There's a short list of things that I miss about Texas, and Aldi came through to help with one of them.
They're not as good as the best I've had, but Aldi has provided some acceptable Tex-Czech that could at least rival the average donut shop.

If you are an organization that is providing even basic legal advice and the only place I can access this information is in an instagram slideshow, you have failed as an organization.
Back it up on your own site, make it easy to find. Control the main version and post it it elsewhere.

TRANS HEALTHCARE TROLLEY PROBLEM
A runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people.
However, that guy over there might voluntarily walk onto the train track.
Do you pull the lever, sacrificing the trans people to protect that one guy from possibly making a mistake?

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people
no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow
