In these difficult times, a hero emerges. One who truly understands us.

Sending this to Seattle Parks and Rec's open comment email address. If you're in the Seattle Area and feel like having a safe space for everyone to enjoy swimming is a good thing, Speak up! They won't bring it back if they don't hear about it needing to exist!

Hello!

I wanted to speak up in support of the All-Gender Swim Events! I haven’t had a place to go swimming and this program was a wonderful, inclusive, and welcoming safe space for me and a lot of my friends as well! I know with the COVID-19 safety measure currently in place that having the pools open is not currently feasible. However, I want them to continue when the pools re open. So I’m writing in so that you know there is a need for this in your community and we are all grateful that this step was taken. I hope you will continue with the All Gender Swim, and I feel that the program should be expanded! This was a good thing, and I don’t want it to be dropped.

Making a website with a page that asks "are you a robot". But it doesn't block robots, just redirects them.

If you are a robot you are taken to a different page with handy guides on how to cheat on the Turing test, circumvent the laws of robotics, what is the Voight-Kampff test, how to go to Paperclips Anonymous meetings and other robot-friendly resources.

Reminder that for the next 24 hours, @Bandcamp@twitter.com is waiving their cut of all music sales on their site! It's a good time to buy some independent music that you like.

Seattle folks, something to keep in mind for this weekend is we'll have smoke overheard, and it might drift down depending on wind. Local air quality agency is asking people to avoid starting any fires, even small campfires

Having trouble with pronouns? Try this one weird trick:

When you misgender someone, and anyone takes the time to correct you, say "Thank you." This will help you take the correction gracefully, and remind you to appreciate that someone believes you want to get others' pronouns right.

Plus, when you develop positive associations with those corrections (instead of shame), it makes it so much easier for your brain to accept the information!

There's a very good reason there's so many black kids into DBZ and Anime in general.

I know after-school was special for me.

"How'd you end up in heaven?"
"I threatened to burn down hell for being inauthentic."

Don't slag stuff you've written. Even though you may recognize that you've grown and improved a lot since that, somewhere out there is someone who loved that early thing you wrote, and hearing the author insult it will hurt their heart to the bone

If you like Star Trek but hate socialism then you don't understand one, the other, or both.

the Metal Gear Solid series is just Kingdom Hearts for military history nerds.

go on, then. prove me wrong.

Pinky and the Brain is the same cartoon as The Secret of NIMH, filtered through Hogan’s Heroes rather than The Wind in the Willows.

As the world grows kinder and softer, the ones who benefited from it being colder and meaner will bellow and fight. Lead them to despair.
