I mean, "Leaning is whole bodies moving in like this. Leaning involves wanting... and accepting. Leaning..." feels pretty unbeatable.

(maybe it's just getting to see Bill Pullman as the charming lead, after years of only knowing him from Sleepless in Seattle)

It's literally only when people make posts like this that I remember the library will (probably) give you access, assuming it's not a niche publication.

When I actually am like "I only want to read this one article but it's paywalled!" it doesn't even occur to me 😅

loving Jet Lag: Hide and Seek. Esp the podcast where Adam floats the theory that Ben found a pocket dimension, and that's why Adam and Sam didn't find him for a [redacted but it had me hooting and hollering with laughter] amount of time.

I mean, that does sound like something Ben would do.

Jet Lag the Game; anywhere the game location or game type is interesting to you! First 10 mins of their first ep always give a good pitch of the vibe

through bribes and lobbying along with the cost of materials and exorbitantly compensated labor I would ensure that every building higher than like six stories was pink. it would improve both the skyline postcard industry and also our masculinity crisis. make the C-suite’s whole world Barbie colored

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Denis - The COVID Info Guy @thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social · 19h

Getting COVID 5 times doesn’t make you “stronger.” The immune system isn’t a muscle—repeated infections can cause cumulative damage and raise long-term risks.

Protect your immune system by avoiding repeat infections: clean air, masks, vaccination.

Alt text: Screenshot of a tweet by Adam Wong.

Quote: Someone claims having COVID 5 times gives them antibodies and makes them stronger than someone who hasn’t had it.

Adam (masked, with air purifiers) replies: “Then why did you have it 5 times??” Laughing emoji.

Everyone, the days of NOT CREDITING photojournalists and video journalists are OVER. You MUST CREDIT photographers and videographers who are risking bodies and lives.

Also very important, we can't verify without knowing sources.

No one is being singled out. But from now on, you will be CALLED OUT.

Leah Millis @leahmillis.bsky.social · 1d

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.
