I hate when people “show you how to do it”, they’re always showing you the back of their hand, like that’s supposed to help.

How is this a personal weakness?

Wrong answers only, please.

Saving the planet doesn’t make them obscenely, grossly wealthy.

What do you define as “sticky note”?

You could use Standard Notes and leave the window open. It syncs between desktop and Android.

I switched to something else a long time ago, but because I preferred FOSS, not because it was a bad app.

In this far-reaching foray into LGBTQ+ history, activists and academics McNeill, Valentine, and Buchanan fill every day of the year with factoids highlighting people and moments that have shaped the fight for queer liberation. Running from January 1 to December 31, each day features the anniversary of at least one historical event related to LGBTQ+ rights, described in varying lengths from one sentence to one page. The events traverse centuries, from a 1365 Italian man tortured to death for homosexuality to the Trump administration’s anti-LGBTQ+ legislative activity in the first quarter of 2025. They include snippets on births and deaths of queer activists and famous people rumored to be queer, passage and repeal of anti-LGBTQ+ laws, and publications of notable works of queer theory. Despite the “do crime” title, crimes committed against LGBTQ+ people end up more frequently represented. The nature of the historical record of queer lives makes this likely unavoidable, but the effect is nonetheless enervating, especially as the calendar structure loses any arc of progress or connection these queer narratives might otherwise create. Still, readers will find this engrossing enough for periodic perusal or daily reflection.

Make it one of those tear-off calendars.

This on the same feed as this post doesn’t seem like an accident.

That sounds like a “no true scotsman” argument.

There are plenty of people who seem to have skipped basic history and are perfectly happy to suck up to the next “strongman” leader.

She’s got that shaft head tilt.

This one just seems mean-spirited.

“Why are we here?”

What’s going on with the guy with a plaid shirt and baseball cap?

Thanks Obama Biden all those people who won’t stop asking for the Epstein files.

Is first half a real ad copy? The font looks so… cheap for the brand.

Thank you for the red arrows and circles.

I would not have known that those articles were there.

I predict 1000 (mostly useless) things a day: the weather, coworker conversation topics, the next presidential scandal, etc…

But I only remember the big ones. Or the silly ones.

I’m still wrong most of the time.

This is why I do not gamble.

Reminds me of Junji Ito’s balloon heads:

Damn. God forbid people romanticize having some peace and quiet.
