Typos aside, but also that paragraph (particularly the highlighted part) has letter and word spacing that don’t seem to match the rest of the memo.

Maybe could be Waluigi, only because that’s a much more hilariously awful name 😂

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this TikTok since yesterday. Sherman was stressing those ladies out.

UGH. What an absolute piece of trash he is.

I forget who I was talking to at my job but it was definitely someone who is a researcher (with R01 levels of funding) who told me more about the absolute joke that that study and its accompanying publication both were.

Very much exactly what Andrew Wakefield did when he did his “study” back in the day - crafted what the study funders asked him to find, and voila - vaccinations cause autism. 🙄

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

My stinkers coming in hot for good vibes for Mama Rue for healing and for you as you worry. 💜

With apologies for the weird Google Nest photo of a photo - a tricolor beagle and red fawn greyhound sit on a brown couch together looking at the camera. Simone Biles the beagle looks like she’s trying to do her VERY BEST SIT but she is itching to get up and move, and Li’l Sebastian the greyhound has lost his ears but otherwise looks at the camera with a chill face. He is used to having his picture taken :)

This is Boksil. She is reaching levels of cozy previously unheard of. 12/10 a trailblazer (IG: with_bokdanji)

a small cream colored dog stares up at us. this is Boksil, swaddled in a grey robe, and tucked underneath a thick blanket on a bed. her little paws poke out of the robe's sleeves, and her toe beans are in full view. her tiny pink tongue mlems from her grinning mouth.

a higher angle of Boksil. a small yellow pillow rests beside her for scale, and her eyes are closed peacefully as she rests swaddled under a white blanket, looking very cozy.

Among your many talents (including this drawing - I love it!!) is sharing weirdly awesome things like this in so many different and unexpected contexts. Always makes me smile. :)

America is not strong enough to survive without Dolly Parton holding us up via gravity-defying hairspray.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

It is also ok to mute terms and names on here to shield yourself from upsetting discourse.

Do what you gotta do to protect whatever shred of peace you have left!

Molly Knight @mollyknight.bsky.social · 4d

Hey friends-

It’s really hard being alive right now for those of us who care about things like humanity, decency, the environment, democracy, etc,

If you are here still fighting for what is right I love u.

None of this is easy. Please take care of yourselves. Logging off sometimes is A-OK.

This is Barrett. He keeps trying to howl along with his big sister Hazel. Personally finds the practice repulsive but refuses to be left out. 13/10 for both (TT: jennyrae23)

A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.

And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

Nome @nome.bsky.social · Aug 12

There is a line around this building to get to the line entrance to wait to get into this job fair.

At the airport. For airport jobs.
