Sometimes I imagine what the world would be like if other folks like me didn't have the burden of debt weighing us down, slowing down our creativity because we are struggling to survive. I want us to thrive. When we thrive, this world will too.

@dankmccoy It’s so wild that I just happened to see as I wind down to an episode of The Flop House after my train trip from Chicago’s Union Station this afternoon.

@ScamGoddessPod That was such a great night! I hope you come back to NYC.

@OliviaHungers My bf also does chains in addition to pole. The bruises and scrapes that y’all get are wild!

@ChefJonKung I’ve been so curious about this too! I know that I have issues when I eat a lot of wheat based foods, but I’ve speculated for years that it’s more of a pesticide/herbicide intolerance than a gluten intolerance.

@ItsDanaWhite Also, high risk folks don’t need to “dust off those N95 masks”. Many never put them away because they haven’t been able to pretend that COVID just went away like so many other folks have.

@OliviaHungers That’s so frustrating. Taking pole dance classes was one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made for my physical and mental health. The people are amazing and pole dance itself is too.

‽ is called an 'interrobang.'

It is designed for use at the end of an exclamatory rhetorical question.

interro = interrogation point (the technical name for the question mark)

bang = printers' slang for the exclamation point.

Are you brave enough to use one in an email ‽‽

@leorobsea I’m pretty anti-musical episodes of shows, but watched it because I love Trek and the show. This wasn’t my favorite episode, but I didn’t dislike it as much as the fantasy episode from the first season.
I do love that they tried something bold and that some folks really dug it.

The fact that the word is generally viewed as nonstandard, or as illustrative of poor education, is likewise not important; dictionaries define the breadth of the language, and not simply the elegant parts at the top.

Why are they called "eggplants"? Because they used to look like this.

We hope this doesn't mess up your emoji game.

Frustrated to find out that the two digital outlet timers that I bought from @HomeDepot today weren’t what I actually got in the boxes. Time and money wasted today, and now I guess I’ll have to leave my grow lights on the whole time that I’m out of town. 😩

This is so heartless: Transgender adults brace for treatment cutoffs in Missouri https://t.co/F64XbUp1gf

@thatguyjohnson7 Agreed. My home state seems to hate most of my identities and I ended up moving away last year. Watching from afar is hard and I can barely imagine the stress of actually living there.

[Tim Lumpkins (he/him) @TimLumpkins]

Ugh. My home state is so awful now.

Good morning, to everyone… except Missouri House Republicans. This bullshit has to stop!!!

@StarTrekOnPPlus @IMAX So bummed that this website didn't load for me. So many 504 and 502 errors...
I wanted to at least have a chance to see Picard on an IMAX screen.
