Not "it's all joever," not "it's going to be fine," but a secret third thing ("all that was built by human hands can be rebuilt").
If I can make two "learning how to cook" recommendations the first is "sautee veggies in fat, salt, and pepper" but the second is "learn an easy bread." I forgot rolls, but my recipe takes less than 2 hours, so we are gonna have rolls before our ham needs to go in the oven.

one of the grimmest things I’ve ever read, but happily it does contain the phrase “mysterious constellation of brutal practices”
Pointed out by my friend @carloshasanax.bsky.social . There's something weird and unsettling about a fairly homogeneous culture spread out across Europe that then collapses into an orgy of genocide.

Headless bodies hint at why Europe’s first farmers vanished

Most of u probably know the "First Thanksgiving" was a myth. However, less well-spread is that it remained peripheral to the national holiday (1862) for over *30 years* so what I'm saying is we could have had a totally normal harvest festival had a bunch of Victorians not used it as genocide erasure

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

I wish cis people would understand just how stressful it is when every time there's news of gun deaths, far right trolls immediately jump to social media and claim the shooter is trans, and sometimes they'll circulate pictures of random trans women they want to incite violence against.

if you, U.S. resident, forgot something and absolutely have to go shopping tomorrow, it's cool, we all understand. unless you say something like "I can't believe they're making you work the holiday!" in which case your cashier is legally entitled and morally obliged to shoot you in the face

One of my favorite genres of news for years has been people finding out the pope is indeed catholic.

"He's anti-abortion but speaks out for migrants!" Catholic.

"He doesn't believe in full equality for women but cares about poverty!Catholic.

"Anti-queer but pro-vaccine!" Would ya believe...

I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
