Why have the looksmaxxing misogynists settled on swole Squidward as their ideal paradigm of male beauty? It's so strange

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

less than 10 days for us to reach our goal… if we don’t get to 400 units tiny meowdy will never become real :( can you help? look at this little guy!! www.makeship.com/products/tin...

“We were never canceled. We were just starved to death.” Worth taking a few minutes to read. From @sciam.bsky.social and including @axisprobe.bsky.social PI Chris Reynolds. www.scientificamerican.com/article/amer...

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

I'm sorry, we're listening to "Candy Crush businessman Mel Morris" about how to do science now?

Only in silence the word, Only in dark the light, Only in dying life: Bright the hawk's flight On the empty sky.

Happy New Murderbot for those who celebrate!

And the next in my series of quilts I call "variation on dawn". What do you think? Pieced and quilted. 22.5 by 40 inches. #etsy #quiltsky #artquilt #original #art

The Lit for Queer Liberation auction starts today and there's sooooo much cool shit you can bid on, including a signed Carrigan's trilogy! www.32auctions.com/organization...

XRISM has made the first ever X-ray detections of chlorine and potassium in the remains of a supernova, showing that these elements critical for the formation of life are indeed spread throughout the cosmos by exploding stars science.nasa.gov/missions/xri...

When supernovae explode, they send a fast-moving shock wave into the interstellar medium, changing the local landscape significantly. A recent publication hones in on one supernova remnant to determine how fast it's expanding and where it may have come from. 🧪🔭

Love The Peculiarity Shop! (Except that it’s hard to say whenever people ask where I got my cool earrings)

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

American science to soon face its largest brain drain in history The largest brain drain in history was when thousands of scientists left Nazi Germany; it became known as "Hitler's gift." America's current assault on science is set to surpass that. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #science

Protest planned to save NASA from Trump cuts! Join us in DC Monday, June 30, from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

This is actively bananas. LIGO is doing (literally) Nobel winning work, and you need both of them -- the second one is not a spare or a nice to have; this is like buying a fire engine, but deciding it doesn't need wheels on the left hand side...

This is a good thread. Technology is people, all the way down. People are not neutral.

This. Protect trans kids. Protect trans rights. Gender is a spectrum. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary people exist. Inter-sex & DSD people exist. Gender-non-conforming people exist. Transphobia is anti-feminist. Laws are often wrong and unjust. We must fight for a fairer future.

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

I am really intensely looking forward to this, but I'm finding it fascinating how many preconceptions I have in my head about what MurderBot should look like. Skarsgård is not who I would cast, but I have faith that they'll make it work.

Introduce yourself with: One book: Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells (any of them) One film: Oceans 8 One album: They Might Be Giants, John Henry One show: All Creatures Great and Small

this writer woke up and decided to textually Luigi Peter Thiel, and good for them gizmodo.com/i-have-no-id...

For whatever reason, this feels important for me to remember. May I be like the snail and try to keep moving forward.

My gingerbread for this year. Merry Christmas and happy Voyages to all!!

100%

there are two genders: chonky and slinkus.

This series (along with Murderbot) has been my goto comfort reads the past few years. Just looking at the cover makes me happy!

There isn't enough Martin Freeman posting on this app yet, so have this post I've just found on tumblr. Credit link below. www.tumblr.com/loremori/767...

A bit early in the season (I mean, 80 in Nov.?), but the Boston French Toast Alert is now on Bluesky. @bostonfrenchtoast.bsky.social

Throwing trans people under the bus is morally wrong and it would not do a goddamn thing to help Democrats, it would just demoralize the base even more. Precisely zero anti-trans bigots are ever going to vote Dem. None. Not a single one.

It's a whole thread of boopable snoots! 😍

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign
