Terry Pratchett always hits the bullseye

it is beautiful how we are having another moment of Bluesky unity. everybody basking in the glow of how Ilhan Omar was very visibly gonna punch that dude in the mouth

I’m currently listening to Authority by Jeff Vandermeer on audiobook, reading Black Flame by Gretchen Felker-Martin checked out of the library, and The Shots You Take by Rachel Reid on kindle.

What’s the opposite of a reading slump? A reading eruption? A reading avalanche? Whatever it is, I’m starting off the year in one.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

I am a climate scientist and this is correct. As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open. Technical explanation here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Who’s ready for schrödinger’s weather?! Could be snow, sleet, freezing rain, normal rain, no rain, who knows???

Pisa Pizza. It was a fixture of my college years. They had fantastic pizza and they were all named after local landmarks in Chattanooga.

when you are petting a cat and the purr descends in register from “love it” to the louder slower “oh hell yes now that’s the stuff” purr, that is a blessing in this world

Attention Bluesky elders: The artist behind the ANIMORPHS covers is here!

Sometimes you need a poem by @nikitagill.bsky.social.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Didn’t have the president doing a coup on my bingo card for this weekend

Started off the year with a hike with some of my favorite people!

Me, submerged headfirst in Brie: Shu’ up, ’s medishinal.

A break from Christmas content to enjoy this capybara eating a banana. From François Froger's 'A relation of a voyage ...' (London, 1698).

A Grand Yuletide Theory: The Muppet Christmas Carol is the Best Adaptation of A Christmas Carol - @ethanwarren.bsky.social (🎨 by @briannaduggan.bsky.social)

I wrote about 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' for its 60th anniversary (a tv special that remains, for my money, as good as it gets) and how it spiritually intersects with another Christmas staple: Sufjan Stevens. sojo.net/articles/cul...

Here is a French Christmas ad for a supermarket. It has infinitely better look, story, and message. It actually sparks joy in you rather than leaving you depressed, unlike Coca-Cola and McDonald's AI ads.

Warhorse. It is beautifully shot, an excellent cast, and I loved the soundtrack, but I cried so much I was dehydrated and gave myself a migraine.

Dammit, retailers, when I search for “dressing gown” I do not want a selection of flannel bathrobes, I want the one Hercule Poirot wore in the first season of Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

I have been enjoying my time off of work by finishing up an embroidery project I’ve been working on for a long time!

Dress for the job you want (Bog Witch) not the job you have (Regular Witch)

Since this is a short school week and I knew a bunch of kids would be out, i wanted to do something kind of fun but wouldn’t be a big deal if students missed, so MOVIE DAY. I decided to show my Computer Science kids the 1995 Apollo 13 movie and they were LOCKED IN.

I gave Monty’s corner of the classroom a makeover today and finally hung up some of my @sarahmackattack.bsky.social posters! I need to get a couple more frames for the rest of them.

You will never guess what this is in reference to.

maybe the most white millennial coded thing about me is that i kinda think Vampire Weekend is up there with the greats.

Tried a new restaurant and had to take an artsy selfie under the lanterns!

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Send Every Billionaire To The North Pole On A Wooden Ship

Heads up: If you haven't read A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by @tkingfisher.com (and frankly that's criminal in the first place) and you're on Audible, it's part of the 2 for 1 sale right now. You won't regret it. It has a possibly sentient, probably murderous sourdough starter in it.

I have been listening to this and it is simultaneously managing to be REALLY CREEPY but also super charming and cozy. I’m almost finished but so far, I love it!

I am so pleased that I have FINALLY identified the song title and artist of a song that I heard YEARS ago, like 17 years ago, and have been trying to figure out what it was ever since. It’s I Make the Dough, You Get the Glory by Kathleen Edwards!

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”
