hey! I subscribed to the Flytrap, and their cultural essays are always fascinating and not stuff I would find on my own.
I've spent the last year working with amazing comrades on @theflytrapmedia.com; when we launched a Kickstarter to bring feminist cultural criticism back to the internet last year, supporters delivered. To keep that going, we need you to subscribe (and resubscribe), and we're offering a 15% discount!

Love when Ursula's GM
BARBARIAN: What did I miss?
GM: You’ve been abducted by ants. One goes up to each sleeping member of the party and puts what looks like a giant aphid on their forehead, then squeezes it so paralytic goo comes out and covers their face.
BARBARIAN’S PLAYER: Ursula, why are you like this?
#dnd while resting with the rats for the night, the party’s has been kidnapped by ants.

So that’s a thing.

Sharing because 1) I love @tastinghistory.bsky.social and his recreations of historic recipes and 2) Just imagining someone in 2,000 years doing a presentation like this about Trump. "Here we have gold-leafed 'Hamberders' and burnt steak with ketchup"

The hole can have more than one purpose
JB is giving SmolAc noogies and SmolAc is under the impression they are supposed to be pleasant so is making JB adjust pressure so it feels better.

Kids are weird.

Oh that's really well done! How'd you make it?
Can I? Nope.

This list of their package between hours and perks just sounds like a total nightmare
*gentle nudge* go do the thing?

It slipped my mind this is happening when there's a federal govt shut down.

Did Trump decide to do it, in part, because there are fewer people at their desks who could even answer questions about it?

I wonder what the Garry Trudeau/Doonesbury cartoon will be? (Typically Prez = line drawing of WH.)
Such a striking photo opportunity from an administration full of people who made a huge fuss about how pulling down some crummy Confederate statues “erased history”. But there’s no contradiction here: it’s all part of the construction of the historical narrative they prefer.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
I appreciate her ability to be straightforward with you. Even if it's really ???
Oh yeah I never tried that particular trick when they weren't at least partially aligned.
God that's awful. I'm so sorry you had to do it but glad you all were able to. And I hope it sinks in 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
😭😭😭😭

I started reading the comic after reading all your books and I'm still in the early years so knowing this ending is gutting (still reading it and still reading all the books but just 💔)
Heh I used to try to hit the corral at speed to get them all nested in one go. Worked a lot of the time.

But I mean, if you want to not return carts, that’s totally your call. Many many people will think you’re an asshole who violates the social contract, but you may well feel that is a small price to pay for sticking it to a corporation who has “not liable for damage” signs in the parking lot.

You do know that actual human beings have to go out in the parking lot in rain/snow/sleet/heat to retrieve carts, right? Who are likely making minimum wage. Making their lives marginally easier is worthwhile too.

OH ACTUALLY I DO! Not sure about the extra protein, but extra veggies yes. I made these for a coeliac friend (who now makes them herself), and my gf mother in law, and occasionally just for fun.

Some non-paywalled details on the shrapnel incident. Guess it's a good thing CHP closed that stretch of I-5, but again for people outside the area: there is no alternate route through Camp Pendleton. You have to detour to I-15, which is miles east www.10news.com/news/local-n...
Shrapnel strikes, damages CHP vehicle during Camp Pendleton's Marine Corp celebration
CHP personnel immediately notified the Marine Corps at the scene, who then canceled firing additional live ordnance over the freeway, and the area was swept for further evaluation, CHP said.

By the time I got to the J-school that Kendra graduated from, NYT had gained such a reputation that I was warned by faculty "everyone who was white had the best time of their lives working there while those who weren't were miserable."

It was advice that probably saved me from ruining my career.
I didn't want NYT to be part of my public story. I wanted it to be the horrible ex everyone forgets about. But it can't be because that institution is still damaging people but more importantly fucking up our society. And I'm a terrible liar.
