Show me 4 pictures in your phone that have your energy that aren't selfies.

RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.

Can't take credit for the awesome Amphifa logo, but the one I designed is free to use!

Here's a png with no background. You can buy sticker paper everywhere and use a normal printer to print them out!

That’s such a fluffy, sleepy pumpkin 🧡

I am in love with the dictionary

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 1d

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

Look I know it'll shock you to know this, but we are almost out of archeologists AGAIN.

Do you know any archeologists? Are they willing to be matched with a LEGO team?

Please send 'em our way we need all hands on deck (STILL!)

We have had 585 requests for archeologists 🫠

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

It really is! If you're in the US, we generally only have a 1-2 day supply, and of the 35% of people eligible to donate, only around 2% do. You're saving lives!

100% agree. They asked me what I was doing making so many slide decks to begin with and wow I had to sit with that for awhile.

Jesse Mostipak @kierisi.bsky.social · 4d

TIL that some of my colleagues have never made a slide deck in their lives and I just...I just want to know what that feels like.
