I've used it to find a job. It was a gruelling experience last time I used it. I do periodically check. The vibe is work party...where some people are earnestly debating about AI. Then you find the people you once knew showcasing their work success. That corner is nice
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Now at $490- just $210 to go for rent! Can anyone else pitch in? Please keep sharing? This was due YESTERDAY and I must catch up ASAP. Hotel staff can only give me so long before their bosses say no.
One way to help farmworkers is to make a donation to @ufw.bsky.social ufw.org/sparechange/
Watching and thinking what other show this feels like. Lost Girl! Clothes and hair wise. The comedy is missing from the City of bones movie. Interesting how they rate power Half human/angel combos are more powerful than vampires
The show feels like early 2010's. The main character's hair and outfit reminds me of Vampire Diaries. This movie needed to be a show so the world could be experienced more
I've read good stories about angels. It is a me thing. I'm going to sit with this for a bit
I struggle with stories about angels. I enjoy stories of other dimensions, monsters in oceans, vampires, werewolves, Fae, dragons, and other creatures. Angels nah - that does not make sense.
Watching Mortal instruments - city of bones. It feels like a CW series. I wish it was
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
My kid asked - why did someone put those creepy things in?

People on TikTok are making videos about radioactive shrimp right now. I know why now!!
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
I never thought I would see this in my life, and that they’re making it immediately generic so it’s affordable is making me want to cry

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon
To me, seeing someone announce art or good news during terrible times isn't like trying to sell balloons at a funeral, it's like getting hugged at that funeral. When maybe you didn't know how much you needed that hug. From anyone. Or everyone. Folks need all the soul fuel they can get.
Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.
Steve Shirley escaped the Holocaust as a child & went on to found one of the earliest software startups. The really impressive part? She employed women programmers who had been pushed out of the workforce after having kids, & allowed them flexible, family friendly, work from home jobs—in the 1960s!

I looked at my feed and it is so many reposts. I repost things that are important to me and things I want to go back to (though with how I often I go back that is more of a dream). I also want to be the type of person who posts my own thoughts. I'll have to sit with why. What do I have to say?
Same!

I can imagine that stare
I share this syllabus bc I'm one of a tiny handful of university faculty in the UK who teach trans history at a specialist level, & I'd like there to be more of us! I learned the field from scratch post-PhD, bc at my prev institution it was politically necessary - which means that you can too!
it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Just a few days left to vote for DEEP DREAM or any of the other works nominated for the Ignyte Awards. A lot of people put a lot of hard work into the book, and we'd be grateful for any votes (or new readers) if you dug that work. Anyone can vote:
I misread that line. You don't eat soap in public. Still soup eating is only for home? Or hiding in a bathroom stall?

Well said, Mo Salah. Suleiman al-Obeid was shot dead by IDF forces whilst waiting for food aid in southern Gaza.
A lot of Palestinians managed to access things like sugar and cheese yesterday because the prices fell quite abruptly and the shops managed to fill shelves again. Now is a really good time to donate so they can stock up. If you're overwhelmed by the number of people in need, just choose randomly.
I meant to be organized! When I left twitter, I downloaded my info. Going to find the people I like and follow here on blue. Maybe be like Tinu who had an excel sheet...then I found some. I did not make an excel sheet of people I followed Today I found some favorites I had forgotten about!
One of my favorite parts is Frieren sleeping on top of Fern no matter what. She will make her way across the room from a separate bed! And the mimic gag! Such commitment
Frieren - what a tremendous show. All about processing grief I adore the way it makes me feel. People have weaknesses and keep going.
Imagine it's Germany in 1933 and you're told the SS is about to get tens of billions of dollars to terrorize as many "undesirables" as possible. What would you do with the few months you have to prepare?

Lol! My wife sneezes about 7 in a row. I've stared daggers at her. She says what I can't help it!
Y'know, it never occurred to me that there's a community of animators on YouTube making incredible stop-motion animations with LEGO, but in retrospect? Of course there is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD3B...
100% agree. I took a copyright class and learned how much physical ownership got you. They guy running it wanted people to stop buying vinyl so libraries could get access. I started buying vinyl. I missed when you could buy word and have access
This is your semi-regular reminder from your queer, neurodivergent friend partnered with a chronically ill spouse that you need to have The Big Legal Conversations *now* with the people you love. What do I mean? -Do you know who your next of kin is? Are they who you want making decisions for you?

Yeah, I worked in customer support and, if it's a 'peak' of one day, they will not care. They'll wipe their hands and say "ok, volumes are back to normal, it's fixed" If after a week they are still receiving pressure... Then they'll begin to get nervous

My wife did a great job of finding a rescue for the three baby boys and they were driven to New Jersey. We still have 5 bunnies. Still looking for a home for them. The female bunnies are in the laundry room with lots of windows.
It took me a while and there was a lot of humping going on. Hoppy is white. Grizzly is brown. Their babies are a mix - white with brown tips, tan, and brown (aka mini grizzly) It took me a few days to figure out that I had not put the wrong tan one in their separate area. Both were males!
In February, Grizzly gave birth to 6 more bunnies. Apparently they had gotten access to each other somehow. We are up to 9 bunnies. First born Jerry is a female so that was fine. 3 out of the 6 second litters turned out to be males. I had gotten involved so figured out the sexes
Okay we can handle one more bunny and we can separate the parents We then moved cross the country, the next day in a planned moved with an unplanned baby bunny. They all did great! We got to Pennsylvania and kept Grizzly and Hoppy separate.
My wife got two bunnies last year. I did not want more pets so said I'm not putting work in but they won't breed right? Her - Nope! Two boys Me - Awesome We found baby Jerry on Christmas Day several days old. (I'll post a picture maybe soon)
My spouse has been watching his videos for a while. I also struggle with watching YouTube videos. Good reminder to check out his videos again
HOW COOL IS THIS? Researchers have developed a DENTAL FLOSS that can DELIVER vaccines THROUGH the gums, a method that could one day offer a NEEDLE-FREE alternative for vaccination. This approach effectively stimulated immunity AND provided FULL protection against a lethal strain of influenza. 🧪🧵⬇️
visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:
We have come too far and fought too hard to see this campaign fail. Will you join us? Every pledge gets us that much closer.

after a very frustrating call with Visa (US+CAN), I was told that Visa would like inquiries relating to using their bargaining power to destroy adult media to be sent, via email, to askvisa@visa.com they asked. to be sent. emails. you know what to do.

People often say that my book would have been helpful when their kids were little, and that’s fantastic! But if you can, please consider buying the book in support, gifting the book to someone who can use it now, and/or requesting it at your library. Sales show publishers that our needs matter.
So true. We are also struggling with fruit flies.
It is fantastic. I hope they make a series
I started watching this series not knowing about the AI aspect. I'm glad that I disliked it and only watched one episode
Paul Weyrich, Edwin Feulner & Jos. Coors started the Heritage Foundation in the 1970s: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Her.... Roberts & the 5 other Supreme Traitors are part of the nearly 70-year right wing plan to get total control of the U.S.
24 hours to go. Will we make it? This weekly goal is becoming less effective at covering these families' expenses—hospitals, medicine, food, water, transportation, rent, tents, clothes—but we TRY. Even if you can't see this I'll be here trying. 871/1900. chuffed.org/project/hope...
I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like. I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.
Destination X not having any women in the top 4 is annoying Not as interested in watching
It is rare, in the course of my profession, for me to encounter books which make me actively angry with their authors for thinking of them before I could. And that anger never lasts to the end of the book, because ideas are cheap: execution is what matters. My execution would not be theirs.
For the "nothing matters" crowd, this work does matter. Making life unpleasant for those who contract with violence-makers does make some people stop (if not for moral reasons then because it makes the business unpleasant!)
