rough first week for humans at the intergalactic council. everyone was really nice but we spent a lot of time at orientation trying to figure out what made us unique among all the galaxy's species. turns out we're the only ones who thought to deep fry cheese. that's it. we're the fried cheese planet

I just realized that 99 percent of pseudoarchaeology/ancient alien conspiracies can be easily debunked by introducing the stunning concept of "wooden rollers that reduce friction when you're dragging heavy things."

if you’re the white woman who was picking up a bat in downtown minneapolis on hennepin ave between washington & 3rd on 9/15 at noon, the minnesota department of health would like to talk to you because that shit was RABID! i would also like to talk to you because girl, wtf

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

I have been working on this update since December. It represents a complete overhaul of the app. A new and more efficient search algorithm, better playback, and more. You can also sync the app with music in your iCloud library to take your digital music files with you wherever you go.

PROGRAMMER: I've saved so much time! NARRATOR: They did not save any time whatsoever. In fact, they spent as much time as they claimed to have saved. Again. bsky.app/profile/metr...
