Does anyone have a link handy to that "I'm a lesbina.. lesbma... GIRLS!" comic that was floating around? Because I've been thinking about it a lot.

me: *sitting at computer making "ooooh" squeaks*
Spouse: *comes over to see what I'm looking at*
me: *shows baby axolotl video instagram.com/p/BacKJmUFxUn/ *
Spouse: .... yep, it's legit.

To me, the fact that music exists for us to appreciate and experience and share is the surest sign that something lies beyond this material reality.

Has anyone promoted Mastodon to any of the cast and/or crew of any Star Trek series with the phrase "William Shatner can't find you there" yet?

whenever i'm gonna be telling ppl for the first time that i use a chair, now i make sure to phrase it: "i use a wheelchair now – it's great"

bc i've noticed if i leave off the "it's great", about half the time they'll go "omg i'm so sorry for u" and then i have to explain that it's good actually

so it's much easier to proactively go "it's great", instead

Fun fact: "zeal" and "jealousy" come from the same root, Attic Greek ζῆλος. They diverged immediately afterward in Latin and took different routes to get to modern English.

(Latin picked up the "zeal" meaning as "zelus" and the "jealousy" meaning as "zelosus"; "zelus" became Old French "zel" became Middle English "zeal", while "zelosus" became Old French "jalous" became Middle English "jelous/gelus".)

I mean I guess I could just get a plain color hoodie but I want something at least a bit more interesting?

Hmm, possible third option: screenprint my own. Again though, a fair bit of work for something that might only last a year or two.

Hrm. Want to get a new work hoodie. Wonder if I can find one that's

- cheap enough that I don't mind destroying it (<$30)
-looks at least somewhat professional for an electrician
-not just a random brand
-bonus: at least kinda femme

Any suggestions for places to look? Backup plan is to just get another pink high-vis hoodie.

It has really high production value, including voice acting.

Portal Stories: Mel has some extremely good puzzles and you should maybe check it out if you want to do some dimension-bending with a bit more challenge.

@green iirc it was penny arcade, SMBC, Questionable Content, xkcd, and Cyanide and Happiness.

(I wrote about portrayals of women and queers in the five most popular webcomics. Turns out hit webcomics have audience sizes comparable to primetime television.)

Also I still appreciate that one 300-level class for actually getting me to do legit original research before I dropped out.

Of all the classes I took in college, honestly the ones I find most useful in the "real world" were the ones on race, class, and gender in media.

I still laugh about "dunning-krugerrands" as a nickname for bitcoin.

lewd silly joke 

@starkatt now I'm snickering over the panoply of geographical features that would be improved with the addition of "ass"

assbutte
assplain (DO I EVEN HAVE TO ASSPLAIN THIS ONE /is slapped)
assmountain
asspass
asscanyon
assriver
assswamp (although I think that's just how a snake says "a swamp")
assprairie

Does "candle-lit" count as spooky? I think it counts as spooky.
