I almost missed this gem today, which would have been a tragedy. Perhaps u did 2.

a segment of George Orwell's final interview, describing how 1984 could become a reality "Don't let it happen. It depends on you" #GeorgeOrwell #1984 #fightfascism

Hormuz Energy Shock Spurs Europe toward Renewables

ICE Is Criminalizing Clothing To Keep Families Apart

#NoKings 3/28/26 At home and in Studio City, CA. @sopranospinner.bsky.social

Get out there.

Too very cool. If you go deeper, there’s a sweet picture.

Finalist @ 13Horror.com. Was pleased because this is my "f' it" Script, where I didn't reign in my literary-style voice at all, went balls-to-wall with my # of characters, included craziest insights into how the universe works, and sprayed blood on every wall. Chuffed w/feedback too #script #horror

For those unmoved by the deaths on our streets, by the detaining of toddlers, who questions "why didn't you protest Obama" ... who still thinks this is normal: “Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. They don’t seem to need a reason for detaining you.”

I had no idea this had existed. London’s Lost Peak: What on Earth was Whitechapel Mount?

Well, only ten...

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!

Easy to type... yep, be using that a bunch. Thanks @marynmck.bsky.social & @katemckean.bsky.social ("You used an Ai image as precursor, and so I didn't read your content." is the only version of that I can think of, that makes sense, so I'm goin' with it.)

Early joggers stunned this week when the body of a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic washed up on the rocks of Metro Beach. Robot removed, bt the discovery has inspired a memorial w/visitors leaving Chuck E. Chs plushes, tokens, & a man pouring Pepsi frm a C.E.Chs cup quietly saying “This is for Charles.”

So very sorry to hear that Bud Cort has passed. Harold And Maude is one of my favorites. Thanks for the bizarre & loving little experience.

We've homed this cat for 5 years. She's come for pets, sat next to me, and sat on my lap for extended periods. She's never fallen asleep on my lap. Until last night. 5 years Verklempt when I wasn't aware of how much my heels hurt on the coffee table. But I was NOT taking my legs down #Cat -amonday

Walking out of the kitchen at 2AM. #Cat contemplating murder.

Ray Cummings sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/cummin... died on this day, so here are some interior magazine illustrations to his stories (Artist: 1, 3 & 4 HW Wesso, 2 Damon Knight):

Ahem: MY Fantastic Four (for longer than most of yas have been alive).

Take a look. Lots of talent and beauty, here.

Indy the Dog just won Best Horror/Thriller Performance at the Astra Film Awards for GOOD BOY, beating out Ethan Hawke and Alison Brie, among others. I've been telling everyone who will listen that this dang dog is one of the best Actors I've seen perform, this year.

This is a fun video. A muntjak (a type of deer, not antelope) and Indian rhino playing in the snow. It looks like they're really having a great time :)

soon, the DOJ is going to have to release more Epstein Files to divert attention from the ICE murder

Cases where police moved out of the way of moving vehicle and exercised deadly force, with more in thread. - Kirby vs. Duva (2008): Officers cannot create or avoid danger and then use deadly force anyway. Shooting after the officer was no longer in danger was unconstitutional.

An excellent breakdown of the currently-available footage. Please remember that Trump said the man with the gun was "... viciously ran over" and "it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital."

A really easy New Year's resolution you can make is to try adding better alt text to your images. Even if you don't do it 100% of the time, wholeassing alt text on some of your works means accounts like mine will share it!

Share someone who looks stylish wearing gloves.

this is what happens when you let George W Bush skate on illegally invading Iraq

"In the dead of night. It was dark and deadly." OMG.

Hoping this is not the first scene of a dystopian movie.

Teared me up.

Ed "Emsh" Emshwiller (1925-1990) was Cover Artist for Science Fiction Magazines frm 1951-1979, most notably for Galaxy Science Fiction, where he created these Holiday covers w/an alien Santa Claus & the races he regularly encountered. Anyone finding the covers for 1952 & 1955, kindly add them? 1/2

Fuck Ai. If they can't get their heads around the thievery and soullessness and "no creation process" of it, even the clueless people can grasp that Data Centers are the current Big Bad for the environment.

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Some Bsky search tips

2/2 His article for Life Magazine abt eating human flesh destroyed his career. Ultimately checked himself into insane asylum & shortly after, committed suicide. "All his books are very good, bt also, chillingly, depict a man moving farther & farther away frm civilization into t heart of darkness."

Wm Seabrook lived w/Bedouins, wrote ADVENTURES IN ARABIA. Visited Haiti, learned abt voodoo, wrote THE MAGIC ISLAND. Met Aleister Crowley, delved Black Magic/Satanism, wrote WITHCRAFT IN THE WORLD TODAY. Final adventure led to South America, found a tribe which practiced cannibalism... - 1/2 but no

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Lan Caihe, the most enigmatic of the Eight Immortals, blurred the lines of gender and class in Chinese #folklore. Draped in tattered blue robes, one boot on and one foot bare, they wandered the streets singing, half-mad and wholly divine. Sometimes dressed as a woman, 1/2

This looks terribly sad.

I mean, I don't want to be xenophobic, but from my nearly 50 years of intense research, that's probably not such a great idea...

“The city that never sleeps” sounds glamorous in your twenties but now I’m like “maybe it should”

Tell me that lie of the land sleeping all winter and I'll laugh in your face. Tell you of all the trees I've talked to this morning before the frost retreated from sun. Relay conversations with cold spirits, my communion with stretching shadows. – #EmilyCBanting #1982 #WitchSky

We have to listen to bigoted handwringing about how we have to abandon trans people and marginalized communities and immigrants while the clearest election winning message is right there.

Day 9 of the #HooklandChristmasTree has us pulling the Apple Man from the box, finding him a branch. A painted china charm of him sleeping in his tree, a group of boys at its base whipping and hollering to wake him. How else to get apples for roasted cider to feed the Bone Horse?

Day 8 of the #HooklandChristmasTree decoration and the glass Ghost Bear finds a place. A semi-opaque spectre, he reflects silver tinsel, white fairy lights while haunting the branches. All the other ornaments seem to keep a respectful distance away, almost as if they can hear his roar for revenge.
