A neighborhood Girl Scout is going door to door selling cookies right when all of the Super Bowl parties are starting. Elite timing.

736) Superbowlbot. Not sure why but a number of Americans have recently been asking for this one. So, due to popular demand, here is another Birbbot variant, this time in the form of a really superb owl.

New poster for Baby Krypto in ‘Supergirl’ 🐶

FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT I'D FOUND A FREE CURBSIDE TREBUCHET

I have to say, as someone who has been observing academics making material available for free online (or refusing to do so) since online became a thing, that linguists are leaving just about everyone far, far behind. This, for example: wold.clld.org "World Loanword Database"

A thread nobody asked for: all the unique postcards lining the border of the the one and only souvenir wall map for Disney's California Adventure, 2001 1/41

To all who believe in the power of dreams - welcome. 🌞 Happy 25 years of “California Dreamin’,” Disney California Adventure! (Art by yours truly!)

Finally caught up on #TheMuppetShow & it was delightful. Felt very much like an original episode, tightly written and some fun numbers. I think Rizzo was my fave bit, along with Rolf playing Rainbow Connection. Hope they continue this & bring back skits like Animal Veterinarian and Pigs in Space.

Raise a glass! It's Superb Owl Sunday. 🦉 🏺 This owl-fully cute terracotta drinking vessel is over 2,300 years old. In Ancient Greece, owls represented Athena, goddess of wisdom, an association many still have with owls today. 💡 ℹ️ https://gty.pulse.ly/n56nx9g7r0

This is cool

Oooh so pretty!

Otter do mo playin! Its fun! #2026 #doodles #otter #varvir

“the Epstein class” should be THE tagline tbh. it’s so accurate their only defense is redactions, and it captures a hundred different linked evils at once. it also perfectly clarifies why trying to distinguish btw “kitchen table issues” (ie money) and “identity politics” (ie misogyny) is impossible

Thanks for all the valentines orders!! I’ll be getting those packaged up and shipped out on Monday 🥰 I’m also gearing up to do Friday dog drops again starting this coming Friday, so keep your eyes peeled 👀

Excited to report that every answer to "I know the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into" is giving me an existential crisis Are the astrophysicists all right Are you guys all right out there Is this normal for you

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Finished two stained glass projects this afternoon. They're for sale and looking for good homes! "Your Colors Light Up the World" Trans flag butterfly, ~8.5"x10.75", ready to hang or put in a display stand. $450, US shipping included

I've been in absolute awe at this picture for years. I didn't realise he was THAT far away from safety though!

Read Happy People Don’t Live Here in a single sitting, just gulped this all down. What a remarkable story about love, grief, family and making peace with your past and being open to the future. This is a truly great novel, @ambersparks.bsky.social, thank you for this! :)

A Kansas man wrote an op-ed criticizing local police for cooperating with ICE. Instead of respecting his First Amendment rights, the police used automatic license plate readers to track him in hopes of finding wrongdoing. We must keep getting this easily-abused surveillance out of our communities.

The American people are empowered with knowledge. Democracy requires an informed populace. So they’re trying to destroy it.

Today’s moment of calm. Keep your eyes on the prize and reach for the finest fruit. Even if you have to handle the thorns it will be worth it to achieve your goals

Yeah this doesn’t look good at all www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In terms of paper waste, maybe, but ebooks aren'tthe solution. Speaking as a librarian, ebooks are the bane of my fucking existence. I can buy 10 MMPB for the cost of 1 restricted access temporary license ebook. See: bsky.app/profile/book...

The alien ambassador sidled through the museum in awe. "You Humans have so much art! Do you have machines to make all paintings, poems, stories and songs?" "We experimented with that, briefly," the guide said. "But humans are both cheaper and more creative. And, well, we will make art regardless."

Actually this sounds like a helluva prompt for a SFF anthology—alien constellation myths and legends. I would buy and read the heck out of something like that.

The same people who slashed food support for millions of Americans. Booing is the politest reception they deserve.

Settling in on the couch with a blanket, a 20oz mug of one of my favorite teas and Amber Sparks’ novel. Just waiting for one of my cats to wander over and cuddle down for a perfect caturday. :)

Such a fun art style!

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

Last week if anyone else wants to jump in on this! :)

talking with someone about this today, and their whole expression sharpened suddenly as they asked "is that why ICE is angry people have video from multiple angles?" AI is the enemy of documentation--which is a way of saying, it's the enemy of accountability.

Proud to be here for another Black History Month! Show some love to the Black creators who've been a part of FIYAH for the past decade: go.bsky.app/VSHmC2p

The thing is, you can sit at a piano for the first time and have fun. It's actually better without a teacher. Tickle the keys. Mess around and find whatever rhythm moves you. Learning to enjoy expressing yourself--in music or in writing--is a great foundation for everything else.

I wonder what constellation our sun is a part of in another civilisation's cosmic story they tell of their night sky.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

I think there’s just 18 of the 200 left. bsky.app/profile/m-15...

your honor, they’re in love and they can do whatever they want

If not writing, then give yourself pottery. Painting. Dance. Sculpting. Drumming. Costume design. Game design. You might not think you need it now, but some day, you'll realize you saved your life by giving your soul an artistic outlet.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Awww this lovely!

ARTISTS! Let’s do an art share! Life is heavy, but we need to also make room for joy and beauty. Let’s share, support, and find each other! Spread the post to reach the most! 💙

Breaking MS NOW: The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official. At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance. www.ms.now/news/dhs-rep...

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
