i had the best time making these silly little pelicans this weekend 🤩 i present: ✨The Pelifont✨

"Three young Barn Owls looking out of the quatrefoil of a church in North Norfolk."

The absolute lesbian aura of Brandi Carlile dropping the puck between Hilary Knight and Marie-Philip Poulin. #PWHL

12:32pm EDT: Sun in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius. Annual aspect of reckoning with power. Plant the seeds that you wish to see blossoming in your garden. 05°Ta28' D 05°Aq28' D

Happy Miss Congeniality Day to all who celebrate!

Apollo is the Lightbringer: sunlight, yes, and music, but also knowledge, prophecy, healing -- and its opposite, the warm, burning glow of disease and fever

The Lilac-breasted Roller is always dressed for spring. This monogamous bird mates for life, with courtship rituals that include swooping, diving, & rolling through the air. Lilac-breasted Rollers are so at home in the sky that they can breed in flight! Photo: Justin Ponder, CC BY 4.0, iNaturalist

AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING WERE BOTH RIGHT

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try." Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Man coming out of his Well, Actually to infuriate womankind

Did I like it: yes! One actor seems not able to carry his role, but overall it was strong. Ended up moving into an empty seat about 4 seats over bc I was squished against a low wall that was stealing precious leg room. Some intense strobe effects (a bit much) and loud bangs that made me jump.

The Lost Boys in Previews!

On the way back down. Sunrise this morning from Glastonbury Tor.

I know from experience that leaving Substack has a cost. No other platform is as *easy* to get up and running, any time you change platforms, you're going to get significant churn. But, my friends who are on Substack--I don't think it will get easier to leave, might as well do it now.

I made a mistake assembling ikea furniture. It's fixable, but annoying. Mad at myself and annoyed that this enormous item is half assembled.

There IS in fact a process ⬇️ But an apology--pals, that's the FOURTH thing on the list. NOT the first. I have no time for the "You don't offer a path back! You lack compassion!" crowd. There IS a path but it's really rigorous & if people don't want to do the rigorous work of repair, THAT'S ON THEM!

The reporting on OpenAI and Sam Altman I've been working on for the past year and a half, for @newyorker.com, with Andrew Marantz: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

AO3 is finally out of beta after 17 years

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Saw Beaches tonite! (For free). Act 1 is long, wondering what they will cut while still in previews. I nominate about half of the husband song for starters.

it is just a well known fact that the third cup of coffee is the one that makes you less anxious and solves all your problems

Sunrise from Glastonbury Tor this morning.

The sun starts to rise towards mid-archway now as we head towards Summer. The first one I have had this year as it was so quiet up there this morning. Taken in St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor.

The filmed West End performance of @Hadestown, featuring original Broadway cast members will be released theatrically in North America this summer!

Guy in NYC bar is coming out as a cat guy. "I don't think I want a dog. i think I want *another cat*. Cats are the best!" Female friend is supportive, male friend not so much. Eventually he decides that dogs are great if you're rich or have a big backyard and cats are practical for apartments.

Equinox Dreams. This evening in Glastonbury shortly after sunset.

Happy Spring Equinox from Glastonbury Tor.

Idk some of these new accounts following me give off big AI / fake energy. Block, block, block.

I finally ate a food, please clap. [it feels like my whole body has a headache ugh DNW]

I originally posted this joke back on Twitter in 2012. Since then, it’s become a strange friend that visits once a year. Thanks to all who share and, however you choose to celebrate, happy stabbing day

Trying to remind myself that moving is one of life's major stressors and it is not unusual that it's affecting me. (Even me, even this move). Took a break from all the things yesterday bc I am not, in fact, a robot.

Amusing thing of the morning:

people make fun of lawyers for lots of things, and they're probably right to do so, but one thing a lawyer might have told you is not to appropriate people's identities in California.

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

11:29pm EDT: Jupiter stations to go direct at 15 degrees, 5 min Cancer. Thank Heavens for good news! The God of Plenty rolls forward (he's been retrograde since November), our creative projects finally pick up some momentum. Your life is ACTUALLY unfolding exactly as it should.

quick reminder that NT's production of The Importance of Being Earnest, starring human ray of sunshine Ncuti Gatwa, will be streaming FOR FREE on YouTube this weekend www.radiotimes.com/movies/ncuti...

Oh, I'm excited!

this is how spring is love #SaturdayPoem

Any recs for an iPhone app that can measure distances or an entire room? My tape measure is not here.

Wait - the corner of Olympic and Cloverfield, Santa Monica? Ladies and Gentlemen, that is almost exactly the location where the old Buffy offices stood. I believe we may owe thanks for this one to the Hellmouth.
