I want one.
What a brilliant idea, you can smoke in your bed or bath without setting the house on fire!

“About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you.” - Zelenskyy

Everyone talks about privilege. White privilege, pretty privilege. But what about allergy-free privilege? These people need to recognize their life advantage and grovel to us sufferers who spend our lives squirting shit up our noses and battling swollen membranes

I don't think it's possible to create any sort of classifieds without these guys. They are a staple. They are ingrained. They are the foundation.

Also, if you want to pay to smell someone you should be clear about what the smell provider can expect you to be doing/wearing during the smelling...

Logged back on FB after maybe 4 months away and my tolerance for the clickbait reels is so low I can't even watch them at all.

Esp the ones that are like SEVEN AUDIO STIMS THAT PROVE YOU HAVE HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM or REASONS YOUR GLUTE IMBALANCE IS DESTROYING YOU. The fearmongering is ridiculous

When I was younger I tried wearing foundation for a while. The more often I wore it, the uglier I felt any time I took it off and didn't wear any. I relied on it more and more. My baseline changed. It skewed my self-perception (and also made my body dysmorphia worse), so I stopped wearing it at all.

I've been worrying about gremlins coming out the toilet for 35 years
i probably worry too much about being bitten on the testicles by twelve foot python that came up through my toilet for a man who lives in toronto canada

And it can allll be rooted back to Intagram and Meta. The idea that you have to capture and dissect everything you create into short video snippets. The thing you're creating becomes a marketing exercise in and of itself. Podcasts became a marketing tool to generate content to appease the algorithms

I need a good hate read. American Canto has a 12-week wait at my library. No way in hell I'm buying it. Any recs?

I've nearly completely avoided the political side of x since getting on there. Only had one disaster where a bunch of people called me the R word, but the one thing I cannot escape is the people posting @grok questions. It's terrible. They do it as replies too. "Lord Grok, summarize THIS"

@socialmovetech.bsky.social has over 100 courses on their site here:

Quite a few are free / open access. Everything is geared toward community organizing, but I think a lot of what they teach can be applied in many areas.

Short-form video is how organizers meet people where they are. Are you?
