Sea otters hold hands when they sleep so they don't drift apart, a behavior known as rafting.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” - Carl Sagan on The Great Bamboozle

One of the shots I took this winter and which totally amazed me. The abstract style of the trees and bushes. Just love it.

Some people post the weirdest, most nonsensical bullshit on here.

I would like to sincerely thank those people.

"wistful" means full of wist.

but wist, of course, no longer exists in modern English.

so wistful is an adjective that has lost its noun form, and can only think back on it with a fond sense of melancholic loss and yearning...

How does an anti-democratic major American political party, the GOP, manage to retain and gain ANY power?
This is how:

👉 lies
👉 cheating
👉 propaganda
👉 gerrymandering
👉 voter intimidation
👉 voter suppression
👉 the Electoral College
👉 invited foreign interference
👉 dismantling the Voting Rights

The GOP is comprised of America’s worst people. The sooner the party crashes and burns, the better.

I remember when it was called "drinking a glass of water" instead of "hydrating."

Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.

Not the case.

It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.

Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important because it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.

By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.

So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.

This cartoon illustrates the real problem with our services, the physical ones too.

We expect our health service to be the "support of last resort" for the devastating effects that modern society has on all of us. We can't save the NHS and make it all it can be without fundamental changes in our sick and broken society.

It can start by paying nurses and other workers what we're worth.

Dropping my clinical sleep study, If You Get Up to Pee Now and Go Back to Bed, You Will Sleep Much Better Than If You Get Mad at Having to Pee and Try to Sleep Through Being Mad and Having to Pee. If anyone wants the full text of the study, it is pretty much just this post.
