im case anyone peeks at our profile before bed.

skeletor holding a martini in in one hand while holding a toothpick with two olives on it over his eyes, making the olives appear to be his eyes, saying: I'm not interested in being polite or heterosexual.

skeletor holding a rams skull staff in one hand and puppy named relay in the other (a cute puppy with papillon like ears) while saying: I am not nice.

Spider-Man talking to the dinosaur guy who could cure cancer but it's

Spider-Man: But you could hang out at the queer goth club, make exceptional friends and enjoy life!

Dinosaur Guy: But I don't WANT to enjoy life. I want to practice learned helplesness.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.

At this point, I should probably warn you that I really like those Halloween skeletons doing interesting things that people put in their yards.

So I’m starting a #HalloweenSkeletonsLivingTheirBestLives thread.

A huge skeleton prepares to take his well behaved skeleton dog for a walk.

(The skeleton is higher than the eave of he house, and the yard is overflowing with Halloween decorations.)

There are no carnivorous plants big enough to eat you, and there’s a good reason for that. Check out this piece I wrote for Smithsonian Magazine to learn why. 🌱

Riley Black 🦕 🏳️‍⚧️ @restingdinoface.bsky.social · 1d

It's part of why I wrote this piece, dipping into some of the pop culture aspects to highlight why carnivorous plants grow where they do. Amazing plants.

Carnivorous Plants Have Been Trapping Animals for Millions of Years. So Why Have They Never Grown Larger?

Plants that feed on meat and animal droppings have evolved at least ten times through evolutionary history

11 months gone. What the fuck. 😭💔

Spend more time with your people while you can. Do the things & have the conversations while you can. Don't wait.

Write stuff down for each other in the event of death (or incapacitation). What would your people need to know? What would you want them to know?

I miss Kevin.

Kevin G. Austin, on our anniversary in 2019. He’s a white man with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing a black Tommy Bahama shirt with a floral and baseball pattern. Sitting in a booth across from me.

This is part of why I like the regular season extra runner because .. in theory, extra inning games that go on very long sounds fun, but in practice, they all just start to look like *this.*
