feel like the people who think things need images even if they don't have any good images to illustrate their point, are coterminous with people who think they should say/present/etc things even when they have nothing useful to say i would like it if there was less stuff that was more worthwhile

saw Knives Out 3, really enjoyed it. If you have the chance to see it in theaters, it's well worth it imo thematic spoilers (rot13): Ernyyl, V'z whfg n fhpxre sbe fgbevrf gung srvag cynlvat pbzcnffvba nf anvirgl orsber rnearfgyl rzoenpvat vg nf gur bayl guvat gung vf gehyl *erny*.

The state shouldn’t need to know your gender/sex like, at all

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and sings it back to you when your memory fails

Went out yesterday to get some "autumn vibes" pictures around town

The function of the waffles joke is an in-group signifier. Singal, Graber, and Oppiliappan are showing in-group solidarity; they're all in on a joke. The joke is they have institutional power, and you don't, and they feel contempt for you, that you still want to have opinions about how power's used.

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

It's good, folks

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

golden hour in Amsterdam

Spent a while lying in a field watching the stars & started feeling the urge to create new mythologies for the night sky. It's surprising, sometimes, that we really are the same people as those humans thousands of years ago

pictures from a recent sunset - been trying for a little while now, but perfect conditions are rare. Got lucky a couple days ago :)

This is literally what people do when they're not left scrambling for survival every hour of every day. They build communities, create things, contribute. Wikipedia isn't an anomaly, it is a distillation of human nature itself

okay but why does it take one guy who's affected to improve something? can we not do our part in making stuff work in the first place? jesus fucking christ, do we have to employ people with every set of different abilities on every single project in order to make things work. we should be ashamed

pnw evening Nikon D750

this is a really good video, encapsulates a lot of what's been on my mind since cohost shut down. well worth your time to sit down and watch it! (also, their neocities page is *incredibly* cool)

With some suggestions from @osiewicz.bsky.social and @wezm.net, got the compile time down even further -- to 9s! (down from 175s at the start, and 32s at the end of the original post) New details added at the end of the post :)

Spent the last ~month trying to figure out why compiling my website took so long. Decided to turn it into a blog post :) sharnoff.io/blog/why-rus...

If you're part of the ~queer community~ or adjacent a better way to deal with your dumb feelings about how annoying everyone is, how stupid the kids are and how patronizing the olds, how much you can't stand your ex, how bad you got hurt etc, is to go down swinging for each other no matter what, imo

this is the start of like a 10k word story, and long bsky threads are annoying to read, but this one is good enough to make it worth it

what this ultimately means is, there is no path to defeating fascism that does not explicitly depend on our willingness to defend people who are different from us, and to fight against forms of oppression we do not directly experience.

went to go see some birds

this piece is one of the best things I think I’ve read this decade, and certainly one of the most devastating. by @benehrenreich.bsky.social harpers.org/archive/2025...

Finally got a picture of this old telephone box I kept walking past

pictures from the fog last weekend

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

Some photos from ~York (UK) over the last couple weeks News is pretty awful at the moment -- stay safe y'all <3

(cw suicide) i probably think about this image set more than anything else i saw on tumblr a decade ago. That's Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy btw.

Sunset in San Francisco yesterday

the clouds were beautiful just after sunset earlier

Woke up early to catch the first sunrise of the new year :)

tired: earthquake twitter wired: tsunami bluesky

picture from the backlog - a song sparrow (i think?) from spring 2023

happy kissinger death day to all who celebrate!

bluesky request. do not follow or reward quote-doomers. people who quote an article and only add something like "you have no idea how bad this is" or "it's over" or "say goodbye to everything you love". they succeed from your stress. they're bringing you down with them. stay awake; not like this.

Going through older photos, forgot about this little california towhee that helpfully posed for pictures in the rain
