What.
BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora.

These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). 🧪🌿

has been an amazing few years for introverts who would never accept an invitation to a mansion party, a freak off, a private jet ride, or an island retreat

looking back on it, Rob Zombie's music adequately prepared me for the amount of ditches I'd have to dig as an adult (dozens) but over prepared me for the number of witches I'd need to burn (less than 3)

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this.

The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying.

America really is dystopian as fuck.

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it

People complaining that BlueSky doesn't have influence in the world like Twitter used to. You have to remember Bluesky is this utopian community that's hived itself off, because the world is mad, and then gone off to an island full of radioactive spiders. We're are John Wyndham's novel Web.

“Unquestioned loyalty to a powerful figure no matter how much damage they cause is the characteristic of a cult.

Faithful loyalty to the poor, the powerless, the abused, and the vulnerable, advocating on their behalf to the powerful is the characteristic of the gospel of Jesus.”

TIL that after the shooting death of CEO Brian Thompson UnitedHealthcare approved many life-saving medical procedures it has been holding out on because of sudden internal panic and public scrutiny. So, Luigi (innocent until proven guilty) probably saved more lives than he took.

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

So what? The literary world is always in the first detonation blast zone. Run towards the searing light. You don't want to live in the world without the arts. Become a writer.

Ursula Le Guin: We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.

To angry / lonely young men in the toxic"manosphere":

THIS IS IMMENSLEY!!!! ATTRACTIVE.

Putting on an outrageous performance with such confidence. Not afraid to be emotionally expressive. Idrc about Tom Holland, but if I were Zendaya I would be STRUCK DOWN with the need to carry his children.
eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

If you’re too young to remember 9/11, one of the things about the subsequent 3-4 years if if you lived by The World’s Biggest Fork, people would be like “we need to be careful, that fork could be a target, terrorists hate our fork”
