I’m sure he still doesn’t actually support trans people, but he would like them to stop booing him.

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Shifting into soup mode.

My red Dutch oven on the stove. It’s filled so a “chicken pot pie” soup with peas, carrots, chicken, potatoes, etc.

It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!

If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

Made myself some fall friends at the pottery studio!

Three ceramic jack o lanterns in the dark, lit inside by fake candles. They are on a glass table so there’s a cool reflection. Very cute.

A cute little ceramic pumpkin looking off to the side. Very demure.

A light orange ceramic jack o lantern with a classic carved face.

A cranky little ceramic jack o lantern. I really like how the texture came out for the stem on this one.

Some fall friends!

Four little mushroom ceramic figures with beautiful smiles on a wooden table.

It’s Ala-Gold (Yellow Toad) and classic Toad.

It’s Buckenberry (Blue Toad) and Toadette! I love how Toadette’s pink round “braids” came out.

the thing about Kojima is that he is undeniably an interesting and iconoclastic artist, and also all of his actual dialogue is just like "Sam, this is a Guaranteed Unit Nullifier, or G.U.N. It can be useful in situations where you need to shoot. Why don't you try it now?"

A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start

www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

I told him that I was born in Russia and was a writer. He showed me a list he’d written of his favourite desserts in the city. It was a sober hobby he’d started during the pandemic, going to restaurants by himself, sampling sweets. He made a lot of lists, he said, most of them food-related. I asked what other kinds he made.

“Lists of lies liberal white women tell about Donald Trump,” he replied.

Suddenly, his leg was shaking. He grabbed the edges of the table and raised his voice: “White, liberal women are a plague on our society.”

He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.

That feeling will only intensify in the later seasons but there’s a lot of great stuff in there too. I don’t recommend the Netflix “year in the life” sequel to the series at all.

I thought I was going to die at Six Flags listening to “Hey Soul Sister” by Train when the roller coaster harness loosened as we were going up the first hill. I cannot hear that song without thinking about it.

Trauma triggers are stupid because what do you mean One Week by Barenaked Ladies brought up a deep emotional trigger?

we started getting art that proved that “queer” is not a genre of film/tv and you can actually do mainstream comedy/drama/action/etc with queer characters, and some people got REAL mad about it and haven’t recovered

Sam, it's Tarman. The DHV Magellan can't travel because it's time for you to do the core gameplay loop without skipping it

Katie @katiecabatie.bsky.social · 7d

What’s the point of having a DHV Magellan is the tar currents are always too turbulent for it to be used?

These fries used to be called “zesty straights.” This is bi erasure.
