Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Instead of some big box tea, make your dollar have more impact by giving Friday Tea some patronage. A small tea house with ridiculously high quality stock (I rec Friday's Afternoon and Earl Grey) www.fridaytea.com

Stop sharing AI slop. It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays. But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Halloween Greggoreg, a vampire squid (though he doesn't know what a vampire is)

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Artists, what are the four most foundational pieces of media/artists to inspire you? What are four things that you consider the bedrock of your personal work? Probably: - Mauri Kunnas - Jeff Easly’s dragon paintings - Tim Burton adjacent things (Sleepy Hollow, NBC, etc) - Akseli Gallen-Kallela

Autumn yard walkies

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness. Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
