But don’t worry. Oklahoma is buying thousands of Bibles for their public schools.

I grew up in a tough town, went to a tough school, and spent 34 years learning the appropriate social skills.

Then I had kids and I realised I prefer talking to strangers and smiling all the time.

So first of all, ALL space images are false colour. That’s not alarming.

But I feel like Hubble images are getting pimped up a little more since JWST came along 👀

I don't know who needs to hear this, everyone I think, but if you send a PDF to your kindle and put 'convert' as the subject it will change it to epub format for you, you're welcome

(I posted this on the other place and was surprised by how many people it helped so thought I'd do it here too.)

#ME is a violent, turbulent condition. Words like brain fog, tiredness, aching, mood disturbance, interrupted sleep patterns, do not begin to describe the turmoil of #MECFS bodies. It’s like being attacked by a malevolent being, often for decades and without help or understanding.

If they had taken ME/CFS seriously from the beginning instead of stigmatizing it — how many of us would have our lives back? It’s really really disturbing.

I finally found a chart I'd been looking for in prep for @johnvsjonvsme.bsky.social Scary Science!
'Replicated Findings in ME/CFS and Long Covid' by German Association for #MECFS. Reduced cerebral blood flow seen in '92, autoantibodies '03, hypometabolism of CNS '98, etc. #GreatestMEdicalScandal

When Elmo first acquired Twiter, he bragged that the 'Mastodon' hadn't fared too well evolutionarily.

But he was mistaken.

Mastodons were perfect evolutionary machines. They were wiped out by a mass Xctinction event... 👀

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

First post here.

I'm nervous. I mean, I have nothing nasty or controversial to say, and I can spell.

Is that ok?
