thomas just told me that crimson tide is like a marriage story, but on a submarine
he didn’t know “a marriage story,” ofc, he said “that divorce movie… with the guy from star wars… the lanky one”

This is the part where someone who has actually driven a nuclear fast-attack submarine (me) has to roll their eyes and really suspend disbelief.

The 1980s strapped on aviator shades and declared itself a genre. Top Gun was less a film than a ritual: jets roared, volleyballs glistened, and Kenny Loggins became a minor deity of the skies.
Be kind, rewind.

rocco is SO ready to be off-leash on our property
he’s no longer afraid
he never wants to be far from me
he responds to “stop!” and “come!”
but he’s SO excited, he bounces around and immediately runs off again which really scares me
but i don’t know if there’s a way to chill him out

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I'm gonna tell you part of how I deal with life.
It is understanding all the little miracles that are comparatively worthless but emotionally salient.
I go into a Waffle House and I hold that knife and I think about how recent our advanced metallurgy is. Like 70 years

i’m pretty sure we all know the answer
i’m tired of treating people’s replies as actual content when what they’re screaming is “nobody loves me (for a good reason)”

I monitored these same sorts of white supremacists for years (to fight them), and let me tell you.
You have to CONSTANTLY, aggressively deprogram yourself.
Even just, the language. We are social creatures and we absorb the language we're around. Guess what words enter your mental vocabulary

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

the new paper dictionary has everything!
![Modified dictionary with an image of a skeet by Amy Hoy in response to Thomas Fuchs. Thomas posted an image of a turkey made of jell-o painted (?) to look real. He said, “[Meanwhile in 1973] What’s wrong babe? You haven’t touched your hello turkey.” Amy responded with, “*sigh* jurkey,” a portmanteau. Beneath the image I have written a new dictionary entry: Jurkey \ jer-kē \ n: horrifying turkey made of jell-o. {English (2025)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oz62bt6unempb7xu3lr66owo/bafkreigqjgxq2efkkl4iatevkpnrnmgblfqpgugo3zhrnuzkkaeeylwu5y@jpeg)
