I need suggestions for Greek-origin word of the day to make a Greek friend who is stressed out laugh

Ive done callipygian (and catapygian), and boustrophedon so far so I’ve set a high standard. Donations accepted.

Even with the inarguable threats posed by the Trump administration, many still see the idea of leaving the U.S. as an admission of defeat.

... But if you find yourself asking the question, some say “you probably are already in the space where you should be making preparations.” trib.al/p0m7HfZ

While Reacher is obviously Big Man Is Big, having binged the show & discussed it with others, I don't think the folks saying this are ready for the fact that people love Reacher because he would casually throw an abusive shithead misogynist out of a moving car while respecting his female coworkers.
This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

It is actually quite fascinating how many older cis white Jewish Zionists publicly deride antizionism, transness, queerness, intermarriage, and social justice, and then wonder why us younger generations aren't connecting with the spaces and congregations they run.

It's not TikTok. It's you.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

Bluesky's team is just fine with genocide. Just ask Goran or Link or any of the other posters they pearl-clutched and banned for daring to criticize them or Israel with strong language.

Until now, the gay marriage situation in the European Union has been the same as in the United before 2015: some states have it, some states don't.

While in the US the divide was North-South, in the EU the divide was West-East.

A rainbow curtain has descended across Europe
Greece has become the first Orthodox nation to adopt gay marriage. Italy is now the only country on the Western side of the old Iron Curtain without equal marriage rights.

I have always done that but that's my ADD. Now it's a tricky game of is it ADD, Covid, weed, or menopause. Lol
The bit where I'm turning into my mom, who would put her keys down and then immediately search the house for her keys.

Nobody in her family had dementia or anything; she just had the absolute worst memory for details, and it did not improve with age.
Do people get smarter after menopause? I can't be this dumb for the rest of my life 😩

Hi folks! Odd timing, but what is time. I wanted to say a few words about @bogiperson.bsky.social 's new book, Song of Spores. The launch was somewhat swallowed by the News Cycle, alas...

Usual disclaimer: the author is my spouse, I love them, etc.

This book is awesome!
My brand new book Song of Spores is just $4.99 on the Kindle!

A fun space opera adventure that's also very trans, queer and intersex (like me). So um, *now* might be a good time to pick it up!

Spread the word! Costs less than an iced matcha latte 😆

When disabled activists say that our disability doesn't exist just in our bodyminds but in society's failure to accomodate them, we aren't just describing how we think disability works, we are making a demand for a world that treats people better.
