gonna make a little thread of threads of my threads on understanding/surviving the current sociopolitical moment so that people can just 📌 one thing if they want a place to reread all of these

(I’ve been told they’re useful, scroll past with no ill will if not to you!)

I guess I’m not surprised they’re advocating for foreskin when red states already force kin

man now I’m feeling sentimental about that old video of Violent J supporting his furry kid (I hope that hasn’t been milkshake ducked in the decade or so since I last thought about it)

Oh god. I can’t stand smelling my own BO even just pulling my shirt over my head after an endurance ride. Built different is right.

I bet fur suits are actually great protection those look thick but I bet it fucking sucks to have to launder tear gas out of your custom fursuit!! our bravest soldiers

Yell In a War @jelenawoehr.bsky.social · 36m

that’s a window same as the frog (I would personally have actual PPE inside any costume tho, I didn’t buy tactical goggles to NOT protect my eyes!)

Yell In a War @jelenawoehr.bsky.social · 41m

that’s a fair point, though I have my doubts about how much protection any of these afford vs having actual PPE on (there’s a YouTuber somewhere who has tear-gassed himself to do this comparison isn’t there)

Popes hate this one weird trick!

Guardian Australia @australia.theguardian.com · 8h

You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...

I don’t know if it’s long been the MOST successful (I guess that also depends on what timeframe we’re thinking of as long vs short) but it has certainly long been present and at times successful. I think this is an absurdist breakout moment though.

Tonight: Judge Zia Faruqui rejects attempts by prosecutors to forge ahead after failing to secure an indictment against a man swept up in Trump’s DC law enforcement surge

Earlier today, he similarly expunged the record of a man arrested at Trader Joe’s for fiddling with his backpack.

in b4 someone self-seriously analyzes why we need silliness as an antidote to the self-seriousness saturating politics and Alanis Morissette rises from the earth rotating slowly and glowing green

peculiarly this era’s most successful protest tactic appears to be “become sillier,” and I can get behind that

you think THAT’S weird wait until you find out what the holes in those porcelain fixtures in human bathrooms are shaped like and used for

c0nc0rdance @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · Mar 16

There's no other way to say this:
Bees and wasps make butt-shaped holes in their homes.

That's how they shape combs & nests & hives: their own butts (ok, 'abdomens').

But here's the real question to bake your noodle:
How does a bee's butt make a *hexagonal* honeycomb?

A paper wasp of some sort, in close-up, showing a nest newly formed, with hexagonal holes in it.

for no reason in particular, posting a reminder that the Secretary of Health and Human Services’s grandfather had said Secretary’s aunt’s brain chopped up while she was awake without her consent—as an adult— to prevent her from embarrassing her brothers, including said Secretary’s father.
