‘Wicker’ stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5

I’m sure the cat isn’t planning my demise by being practically invisible on stairs. I’m only a little late getting her breakfast. Happy Caturday to all who celebrate

Please let this man be my senator.

El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

I’m super comforted that if plague that is spread by respiratory droplets escapes Russia that Trump and RFK Jr. will be on the job

A plague case has been linked to a lab worker’s death in Siberia. Nearly 200 people are now under observation after the lab worker died from plague. Because apparently “deadly plague at a Russian lab” wasn’t ominous enough. www.themoscowtimes.com/2026/10/02/n...

Article is useful in that it shows that a) Trump is directly involved in these decisions, b) sees them in purely personalist terms - he wants to politicize research grants so he can destroy Harvard for daring to defy him

If you haven’t read this book treat yourself and do so.

Mike Johnson punts on oversight of AI companies: "Congress is obviously less qualified than the people who are pushing this frontier to know the ins and outs of it"

We were all Americans that day in solidarity and our hearts broke, and here we are 25 years later wondering if the next unprovoked domestic terrorist attack is going to come from our long term allies and friends. It breaks our hearts. This is an important speech from a great Prime Minister.

Please take 15 minutes to listen to former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien’s speech in Gander at the 9/11 memorial event today . He was our PM on 9/11. A brilliant speech. Every word matters. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I have a new optics toy that I’m trying to assemble and I have to attach it by a strap to a phone holder. There is a strap there is a phone holder. There are no more directions or pictures. It is not at all intuitive. they can give me directions to not put the battery in the microwave, but not this

It’s like trying to figure out one of those puzzles where you have to get a piece of string out of a metal maze. The device js called a Stabi One. I have renamed in my head as the stabby one. Im feeling decidedly stabby

I’m posting a link for a go fund me for Peri C. who is a potter and a graphic artist. If you’re like me and have gone to any cons it’s likely you have seen his work. I’m lucky enough to own a bunch of his beautiful pottery. I met him at WindyCon once and he was super nice. gofund.me/a55c75232

“If you can’t be friends with Canada than you certainly don’t have friends anywhere in the world and it’s a lonely place to be” A Canadian politician discussing Trump’s latest bullying tactics on us

Our phones just went off in the same way they do if there is a tornado on the ground or a derecho is about to hit us for bad air quality. And yes the fire smoke is like a heavy fog here but warning pointedly said it was from CANADIAN wildfires. MN is on fire too, but sure blame Canada.

The “we are very much not a racist family” had a confederate flag at Sandringham. Just in time for a planned visit by the Sussex‘s. The organizers of the horsey event that the flag was flown at apologized and said they didn’t understand the significance of the flag feminegra.com/confederate-...

Got today’s exercise by managing to spring up out of my chair in time to grab the cat and move her over to puke on the vinyl flooring as opposed to the carpeting. A core and sprinting work out combined

I returned from a trip to Germany yesterday and while waiting for our luggage everyone’s phone started screaming with a tornado warning. The German’s looked quite alarmed everyone else looked bored in true mid west manner. I assured them that it was a tornado emergency was the one to worry about.

Also we were in the lower level of a large building and not near any glass so it was all good. It just meant our luggage might delayed. They looked at the wholly unconcerned locals and I could tell they thought we were nuts

In Europe with my husband attending a conference and listening to all my old friends, melodic blackbirds, cawing carrion crows, gently hooting wood pigeons and LOUD UNHOLY SCREECHING. The fuck. Apparently this area has well established flocks of Alexandrine and Rosy-Ringed Parakeets, with opinions.

A good day in Ohio, I left my camera in the car, so I got good looks at over a dozen warbler species! And some surprises like an out of range Glossy Ibis. Some of my cell phone shots.

I saw a couple of hot jacked guys today dressed in tight shorts, boots, cowboy/outback style hats and bare chests with black harnesses. With binoculars. At a birding hot spot. They would not have looked out of place at fetish gear party. Have I missed a new birding trend?

Border Guard - Hey, how are you doing tonight, I see you have your husband with you, this time. Bringing any thing over? Me-just some more stuff from my mum’s, a lamp and some framed pictures this trip. Border Guard-OK, I’ll see you next time, have a nice night. Soon I’ll be on his cook out list

I’m out by a scrubby field for the peenting hour, like the midnight hour, but cooler. I can hear my buddy and he has gone up twice but I have only seen a silhouette. I don’t know if using a headlamp or flashlight would disturb him. Although the field is beside a brightly lit parking lot.

Any thoughts? Should I come back at dawn? The parking lot would be a lot less busy and I will dig up winter coat as it’s back below freezing again. I put it way too soon being fooled by fake spring

Happy birthday! to a fellow birder and lovely person, Whose car is dead, what if rare bird shows up near her and she couldn’t chase it. Tragedy would ensue, if you can, help out a good egg.

Alright, annual birthday thread time, less sad version. It's my birthday! And to celebrate here on Bsky, a short thread. Post 1 of 3. Tell me about a bird or other cool nature you've recently seen!

Sadly the first thing I thought of when looking at these elegant lights is they look my girls did before I got my gender affirming surgery.

Jonathan C Slaght@jonathanslaght.com

I appreciate these lights, I assume original to my house (early 1930s)

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal. Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.
