The way I heard the laundry buzzer go, am also waiting on emails, decided to look here instead of folding, and immediately saw this felt remarkably targeted

I am tired. I have three deadlines in these three days and maybe I could have scheduled this but I didn’t realise I would be delayed by another surge in crises. I’m sorry based on previous evidence I should have anticipated

An illustration of two masculine figures together, one sitting on the other's lap with a hand on the other's chin, their eyes locked together. They wear fancy period clothing like a powdered wig and corset, one specifically dressed in very gender-nonconforming attire. A magenta banner at the top says "We've Always Been Here: A queer historical zine" and a blue banner at the bottom says "launches in 24 hours!"

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was school dependent but I thought they said the first one was free no matter what. Could be wrong… mine used warehouse something? And if you didn’t need it in 24 hours or whatever short time it was free

It was the only time I called though so can’t 100% compare

Your letters are so beautiful, I hesitate to say… but if you do ever just want some rambling notes. They won’t be as lovely but I’d love to be able to write to someone not in digital every now and then (and no worry on responses, dm if you want)

Wait what? When I applied for grad school I was convinced I needed to pay and then I called the alumni office and it took about a week but I got an official one for free

A digital illustration of two Peking opera performers on stage wearing intricately detailed outfits. They delicately touch hands, their expressions soft. At the top is a pink banner that says "We've Always Been Here: a queer historical zine" and at the bottom is a red banner that says "2 days until launch!"

A habitable wreck, built plank by plank.

This is a fragment of Labyrinth: a world I’m building in images, objects, and stories.

The boat will return. Somewhere else. At another height.

A banner of two masculine characters leaning up against a birch tree. The one on the left is an Indigenous man wearing a vest covered in beadwork, and the one on the right has paler skin and orange hair, wearing a blue shirt with tassels on the chest. Both have soft expressions as they hold hands. Gold decorations frame the corners of the image, and the text "We've Always Been Here" takes over the right side in flowy, mock-gold text. A small note in the corner also reads, "Work in Progress Image."

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I think I also need to call because I assume they will act like they didn’t get this.

I saw a thing earlier today, one of those "quote with your faces" things, but I lost it.

But then I was thinking about these dorks all day - so here they are:

Ngl this 100% echos my feeling. Just one of those worldbuilding side quests that gets way better vs. the OCs where you’re like hooooow do I wrap this properly

Uuuugh I’m so sorry!! I hope it’s just a quick little virus’s last push or something

I’m totally in the same boat, thought I had kicked it last week, then woke up this morning with my throat so angry 😭

All I have right now is a husband, but also family that I value staying close to, friends I care about… being able to break routine to help them because I want to keep those relationships healthy is also vital to mental health???

Pass it on!! It’s pfp day where you post your pfp. again

A good excuse to pull out the best meme I've ever made
I aspire to look like both of these versions one day

I dunno if this even qualifies for before sleep. More like those moments when you wake up with such a great idea and write down « hugs but in paper fixes it» or something
