Here’s a poem called ‘Pet Peeve’.

Interesting reframing. Cost of aid to #ukraine in cups of coffee per month.

‪the sun sneezing reflex is one of those funny genetic variations. people who don't have it will be like what the fuck are you talking about. people who do have it probably assume everyone has it. but unless sneezing is painful for you or there's a pandemic, it's inconsequential‬

how does my sneeze reflex know where the sun is in the sky even though my eyes can't see it beyond the fog

I love this anecdote. It's thought-provoking and evocative. Full text of story is in the alt-text.

God, being a middle manager has to be even easier than it's ever been

"It's the DEI sir"

With apologies to Catherines everywhere

coworker: I need to check in on [name]. she's just had a really long day incubating E. coli.
me: oh, oh no.
[a couple sentences later]
me: wait -- not in herself, then?
coworker: no. In lab.

if elected as president of europe i will mandate all cities to be designed by people with runner vision. all buildings to be at least twenty stories, all rooftops to have ziplines and places for soft landings by 2035

nominative determinism must be fake, i bet martin luther invented protestantism because he couldn't play the guitar

Isn't it beautiful how life always finds a way to persevere 🙏

PSA for anyone with an #Amazon #Kindle or even just any #kindlebooks , they are about to permanently remove the ability to download books to your computer. Your last day to use this functionality is February 26, 2025, so you have about a week. There are no easy ways to grab it all at once, but it's worth it to me to be able to access my 500+ #ebooks so I'm clicking on them one by one anyway. Amazon has been very quiet about it, so spread the word.
