sometimes I just think about the fact I would quite like a cup of tea and then forget that is not the same thing as asking my partner to make one, so then 15 minutes later I get grumpy wondering where it is.

Good morning from the baby harbor seal factory!

Production is at full capacity. In the past 48 hours FOUR pups have reached the end of the assembly line, one of which as recently as 5pm last night!

I'm running on 6 hours sleep, so have low expectations, but I'll be threading as I can 🦭 🦑 #SealSky

i think most (not all) of the "you must vote for Newsom" people are just Newsom supporters who want him to win because they like him and his policies, not because they have high minded ideas about harm reduction.

i believe that we can & should be able to drag a bitch for being awful without the weird misogyny as that's low hanging fruit considering how many other obvious terrible attributes they inflict upon the world

You will never convince me ‘no vaccine without profit motive’ is not a supremely stupid way to live.

Me googling this guy thinking how bad could it be:

“He once mused about the need to address the Jewish question”

OH NO
Senate Democrats are preparing to grill Jeremy Carl, President Trump's nominee to be assistant secretary of state for international organizations, over controversial social media comments — including posts he has since deleted.
Dems plan to question Trump nominee on past comments on women and Jews
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said she'd ask about Jeremy Carl's "statements with respect to women, and the antisemitic comments."

If you're currently a student at a college with a faculty member who showed up in the Epstein files, I'd like to talk to you about the campus response for an article. You can reach me at [email protected] or millionbear.44 on Signal.

What a shame that Helen Lewis isn't comfortable with trans people existing, but she is comfortable with writing for a magazine owned by Laurene Powell, close friend of Ghislaine Maxwell. I wonder if these two things are connected.

hell yeah fluffy cows
The last wild European bison was shot in 1927. At the time there were fewer than 60 such bison alive in zoos & private parks. Now, the great, shaggy beasts are once again roaming the Carpathian Mountains.

And they're helping bring wild lands back to life.

Good news story! No pay wall.
A Century After Vanishing, a Gentle Giant Returns
Wild European bison are roaming the Carpathian Mountains for the first time in 100 years — and bringing the land back to life.

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, “I can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, “What? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

one great quality of life improvement is that now when I panic google some weird new symptom and it lists multiple sclerosis amongst the possible underlying medical causes, I actually relax somewhat and breathe a sigh of relief.
