@surlyshirley.bsky.social Are you aware of the Biggest Week in American Birding? www.biggestweekinamericanbirding.com

The Artemis landing was brilliant and moving. I was unprepared for how many times they would say front porch. Or hazardous gasses for that matter.

Hello lovely Bluesky people 🥰 I'm working on a new book and need some help. What are the best ghost movies out there (any era) - and WHY? Ghosts, hauntings, ghost hoaxes... Hit me with your recommendations! Thank you in advance! #ghost #ghosts #haunting #hauntings #folklore #horror #spooky

It's 2PM...have you called your representatives today? 5calls.org/issue/stop-i...

My dentist suggested that I should find a job with less stress. a) do those exist? b) would I be able to afford the dentist?

Impeach. It's the only answer. Impeach. Impeach. Impeach. Impeach.

@traceynormanauthor.bsky.social Easter as it was meant to be celebrated.

Didn't know this publication existed--looking forward to reading!

I really love this project, especially the step that involves going back to confirm that you've accurately captured these neighborhoods from the people who lived here. It is important on an historical--and human--level.

Seeing all the Easter bonnet posts made me think of one of my favorite children's books, Jenny's Hat by Ezra Jack Keats. A gorgeous collection of collage, marbled paper, and watercolor. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=spHj...

This is an amazing lineup, accessible virtually, and unbelievably affordable. I'm so excited to attend!

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

I didn't take great photos yesterday at #noKings Clintonville. I'll admit I found it hard to navigate the crowd due to tearing up a bit. Seeing you all was good. We are not meant to feel so alone.

I waffle on the purpose of protests--voices screaming into a void, to the powerful intent on not hearing, on not seeing. But I do see this--that protests are for people to see one another. The folk seeing, bearing witness to the community, called upon to tell the tale. Go forth and see.

Announcing a BIG 2-day ONLINE magical history conference supporting @folklorelibrary.bsky.social Dianne Purkiss, Mark Stoyle, Marion Gibson, Jeremy Harte and more... Day tickets just £10, £15 for the whole event. Ticket holders get recordings if they can't be there live Book at bit.ly/flaevents

My weather app interrupted me to tell me to be aware of "howling winds". Is this a technical term? Maybe I won't be able to hear my unrelenting lineup of Teams meetings over the howling. "Are you beset by wolves?" "NO! JUST THOSE WINDS AGAIN!" Maybe I shouldn't conduct meetings on the tundra.

This is what my brain woke me up with this morning. Fridays are for sharing. www.tiktok.com/@jonahpedro/...

Will Columbus ever get a Jollibee or a Haidilao Hot Pot? It's all my kids want for Christmas.

@folklorelibrary.bsky.social How would your team fare against these athletes?

Never has a piece of art more needed to be turned into a jigsaw puzzle.

Happy Valentine's day @traceynormanauthor.bsky.social. The Whimsical Muse truly gets us.

Concentration camps are such a good idea we should use them to solve every problem?

There is nothing in this excerpt that isn’t happening right now in America. #ICEGestapo #TrumpNazis

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

Pro-life means No ICE

Way bigger than the inauguration crowd, also Fuck ICE

I have my ticket!

In 2026, I want to drown in entertainment of wild costumes, puppetry, and dance. The weirder, the better. I want the majesty and spectacle to be bigger than whatever the fuck is going on in Washington, so we can remember what human brains and hearts can do.

I've done my part to be ignored by my elected officials today!

Couldn't decide whether I wanted @carterhaughschool.bsky.social's Fairylore in hardcover or e-book, so I got both. Can't wait to read it. Want your own? carterhaughschool.lpages.co/fairylore-pr...

Here is your Librarian verified easy ICE in Columbus resource guide, collected from several trusted sources. You can report their presence here: iceout.org/en/ stopicealert.ddns.net And here are some infographics to keep handy:

Today my kid came home from school crying because ICE was there, had taken some kids. He doesn't understand why adults are standing by, letting it happen. He's worried "we won't make it" through the current administration. He's worried they will come for him when they run out of others. He's angry.

Overheard at hotel breakfast, a kid and his grandmother. She’s peeling an orange. Kid: ew! What’s wrong with your orange? GMA: nothing, it’s an orange Kid: But it has a…nipple! GMA: it’s called a navel orange, like your bellybutton Kid: oh, so like an inside out nipple.

More films that are gaslighting you... 🎬 You've Always Been Crazy And Stupid, Love 🎬 Eternal Sunshine Of The Oversensitive Mind 🎬 12 Angry Men & It's Your Fault They're All Mad At You 🎬 Jingle All The I'm Sorry You Feel That Way 🎬 It's Not My Fault That What I Said Got Lost In Translation

This racist ranting is what @fordmotorsofficial.bsky.social, Stellantis, and General Motors supports. That makes car shopping a bit easier.

Finally geared myself up to watch season 3 of The Diplomat, and oh my god. These people are messy and human and so very, very flawed and I love them all. Also, my heart can't take this.

‘‘Tis the season for hot pretzels and truffle mustard.

Shouldn't we be celebrating him with a game of questions?

Always fun when my folklore interests and my food interests come together in canned pasta.

TIL that Toys R Us is Spirit-ifying across the US because my husband stops what he was doing in the kitchen and says "Is that Turn Down for What?" and runs to the living room to see their float, which led to "they still exist?" and googling.

I really like Shaggy--his voice is odd and appealing, and he's definitely a *checks notes* "rumpshaker"--but I'm not sure I'd invite him to Thanksgiving. "No, Grandma, I'm sure you didn't actually see him buck naked on the bathroom floor. Let's have some more pie."

About to embark upon my first ever play of RuneQuest. If it's anything like character creation has gone, I have concerns. Can I be X? "No." Can I be Y? "No." Can I be Z--? "Why doesn't anyone ever want to be a human?" OK...would you like me to be a human? "No, be what you want." ...

It's hard to say which grocery is more cutthroat* at the holidays--Weilands (Columbus) or Heinen's (Cleveland, specifically Green Rd.). I've been rammed by an old woman with a cart at Heinen's. Lots of bumping, football like, at Weilands. *The clientele, of course. The staff at both are lovely.

Powerful.

This is just to say I have confirmed the possum that is on the patio and which the dog likes to wear as cologne is in fact as my child said--extremely dead-- so stiff and so cold

I have my ticket! Can I get an "ah-woooh"?

I so very much wish I could attend this--we need more winter ghost story events on this side of the pond.

I love that cats come with a haptic feedback feature
