Really happy to end the year yelling THE PARROTS ARE FUCKING because if you know the deal with Kakapo, then this is the best news for their species.
First mating of the 2026 #kakapo breeding season! True to form, it was Pearl and Boss on Whenua Hou, who mated on the night of 28th Dec. They were also the first two to mate in the last two breeding seasons. We're expecting a bumper year, so follow for updates! #conservation #parrots

An update: there IS an opt-out email, you should check if your site/merch is in this "feature" and use it. If it's not there now, you should likely set a reminder to check back, since it's new. bsky.app/profile/monk...
Update: I emailed the opt-out address listed on their website and got a reply. But, I never. Should. Have. Had. To. Opt. Out. I’m so tired of these tech companies & their entitlement. DoorDash putting small restaurants on their apps w/o permission, AI scraping our sites, & now this? It’s exhausting

Splatter, handwriting analysis also completely bogus fields
Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.
Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.
They admitted it.

I had a close friend explain this to me this summer as I sobbed into the phone. There is no pulling yourself up by yourself.
You need others. You need help. We need community. We need compassion, and love, and to stop expecting everyone to just get back up after they’re forced down.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

just in case anyone needs to hear it, it is absolutely acceptable to go no contact with your parents, siblings, in fact anyone in your life who is not treating you with respect and kindness. nobody is owed access to you. "I don't like the way you make me feel" is a good enough reason to gtfo

![“You don’t look sick.”
Thanks. That’s the goal.
But here’s what you don’t see:
I cancel plans I desperately want to attend.
I rest for hours after a shower.
I forget basic words mid-sentence.
I grieve a version of myself I barely remember.
I fight every day for a body that doesn’t cooperate.
It’s not just tired. It’s chronic illness.
Share this if you’ve ever been told you ‘don’t look sick.’
