People are much more comfortable pretending Stephen Miller doesn’t know what he’s saying than contending with the fact of white supremacy.

Friday: “I can’t remember the last time I went into a bad mental health spiral.”

Sunday night into Monday morning: “hello, dumbass. Remember me?“ Overthinking, hurt, and self hatred as my logical self is being sat on by my 293 lb brain trolls.

Interesting study in de novo thymus regeneration for juvenile axolotl and while nothing immediate just yet for us humans, it could provide some hope for the future, if such scientific study is allowed to continue.
A new #ScienceImmunology study finds that juvenile axolotls can regenerate their thymus from scratch after complete removal, which could inform future therapeutics for aging or immune-compromised patients. https://scim.ag/3Y1XbBQ
Molecular basis for de novo thymus regeneration in a vertebrate, the axolotl
The molecular, cellular, and functional restoration of the axolotl thymus after de novo regeneration is described.

It’s 7am on Monday and I’m already done with social media bullshit.

Just had one of the most chill days and lovely evenings we’ve enjoyed in a while. No expectations, no responsibilities, no tension or anxiety, just existence as the moment desired; together or not, it was calming, cozy, super comfortable and exactly the healing we both needed right now. 🦉💚🦝

The cowboys really *are* America’s team (badly run by an ancient, unreconstructed racist and coasting on accomplishments from the previous century while daily inventing new ways to humiliate themselves)

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

It’s so inspiring to see people I care about creating incredible shit in their lives outside of the 9 to 5 they pay the bills with. I’m going to join them. It’s time to create again.

It’s unfortunate that it’s taken me 47 years to find courage to use my voice when needed but I’m learning and I appreciate being taught. There’s respect and effortless joy in life that I deserve. I will find my voice. Later than necessary perhaps but it will come. And I will not be made small again.

I have no idea how my brain can be in such a zoomies mode that I literally feel dizzy nausea and yet also find myself dozing off to sleep at the same time. But here I am. Good night.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.

The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

IDK about ignoring the bullpen that got you to this point to ensure every arm in your rotation gets to pitch in this game. Let the rookie cook though, I guess. #BitingNails #WorldSeires #BlueJays #Game7

I wasn't aware that they got rid of the pitch clock in the World Series...or does it only apply to Ohtani? #WorldSeries #TORvsLA #LAvsTOR #Game7

I recognize it's gonna be a Drake v Kendrick World Series for some, but while I took Mr Duckworth in that battle, I've got my elbows up for this one. FTD. Beat LA.

This ALCS deserves to go a full seven games. Regardless of who wins tomorrow, BEAT LA!

If you're concerned about the existential risk of AI technology, I strongly recommend this pioneering analysis from @atoosakz.bsky.social. Can also be applied to cyber risk. (Think death by a 1000 hacks v. electronic Pearl Harbor.) #AI #AIRisk #TechRisk #AIEthics #XRisk #CyberCrime #CyberSecurity

Hi! Have you had something high-protein today, drank a glass of water or gone outside? Many things are bad, but you still matter, and are someone worth taking care of. I know how hard you are trying. One thing at a time.

Prop 8 was the end of the end for me and this “church” - shit like this (amongst a few thousand other things) is what keeps me away.
Hey so... did you know that the Mormon Church filed an amicus curiae brief on the 19th of September? Me either...
