Aurora Borealis, 10/10/24, Mifflin County PA We were way back at the foot of a ridge and the coyotes and farm dogs were howling and we were out in the clearing laughing and gasping and pointing at the sky. #auroraborealis #northernlights

One year ago today, a spectacular aurora display graced the night sky across much of the globe. This was my view in *Oklahoma.* What a beautiful world we are fortunate to live on. #photography

My gorgeous fiancé!! I am SO damn lucky ♥️

It's a beautiful autumn day, and I'm grateful for the return of sweater weather.

♥️♥️♥️

if you have democrat rep/senators i recommend calling and reminding them you will never vote for them again if they bend the knee on this. shutting down the government is the correct choice. that is the exact phrasing in my 3 calls and it took 5 min total bsky.app/profile/pink...

The love of my life came to visit me in Edmonton for a month. We saw a lot of excellent live music, ate gourmet ice cream, and got engaged! Julian went back to California yesterday, and I'm already missing it terribly. ♥️

This only happens to you once

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

This isn’t cancel culture. It’s “obeying in advance.” A similar thing happened after 9/11. Mainstream media from movie trailers to radio stations not only removed anything that could be related to the towers, but also any art/artists that questioned authority, like Rage Against the Machine.

When I say AI is a fascist technology, this is what I mean: a spectacular assault on the idea that true things can be known

Its “I can handle it” Thursday Friday #fattrewind

this is great for two reasons 1, the obvious: brilliant deconstruction of how patriarchy tries to sell total emotional isolation as not just a side effect but a GOAL of doing masculinity correctly 2: the repeated mentions of Buffalo Wild Wings made me laugh so hard

Superb fairywren #birdbutt #BirdOfTheDay #birds #photography

#BlueSkyArtShow #Home. My home and my passion. #roses Hope your weekend is a good one. It’s carnival tonight hope the rain keeps off.

Guess who got engaged!!

Looking to affirm and support the trans youth in your life? Here are some small things to help: 1) Use their affirmed name and pronouns 2) Remember that they are still the same kiddo 3) Don’t make it about you 4) Celebrate Trans joy 🌈 www.skippingstone.ca/resources-fu...

Loved the yellow daisies on the background on this one. The determined face on this young rufous was also fun to see. 09/2025 #rufous #hummingbird #ilovebirding #birding #birds #FDT #Colorado #bird_photography 🪶

I know an even better place #Stunday #photography

you, yes YOU! should get your brain rattled out of your head with some blistering, devotional noise

I will never understand why more people aren't disgusted by the rightwing's obsession with children's genitals. It's creepy. It's weird. It's disturbing. It's the kind of political stance that should make a party anathema to any voter who isn't pro-pedophilia.

The White Earth Nation’s bison herd welcomed its very first calf, marking what tribal leaders call ‘a new chapter’ in returning mashkode-bizhiki (bison) to Anishinaabe lands. Bison are being reintroduced through a partnership with the InterTribal Buffalo Council. buff.ly/XMsVVPs #ShareGoodNewsToo

Genocide. We all need to keep collectively calling it exactly what it is. Especially us cis folks. When they’re done gunning for the most vulnerable groups they’ll just go after the next most vulnerable and won’t stop because they never stop. Thats what hatred is. It’s Genocide, plain and simple.

When people argue that trans people refusing to support transphobic Democrats is some kind of stubborn ideological purity, what they're saying is that trans people aren't entitled to any boundaries, standards, or dignity. That we're supposed to tolerate whatever we're given.

NOT LIKE I CAN AVOID IT

A good bundle recommendation, books by @marthawells.com I have read the first one some time ago so now I'm a few pages into second Murderbot and already having a fun time again (ART) www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

I never thought I would see this in my life, and that they’re making it immediately generic so it’s affordable is making me want to cry

My boyfriend is coming to visit!! It's arriving today!!! I'm cleaning house and doing laundry and trying not to turn myself completely inside out in anticipation!

Great to be at the anti-hate rally. Proud of the peaceful protest demonstrating that Edmonton is a community of love and inclusion. 🏳️‍🌈❤️🏳️‍⚧️ #yeg #yegpride #ableg

Lil Nas X deserves more shows of solidarity and support from the LGBTQ+ community. Lil Nas is a Gay man facing an unjust arrest and imprisonment over a mental health crisis. Gay men are unfairly targeting lately, and Black Gay men are targeted by racist policing and homophobia. Nas deserves support!

Opinion: Mental illness in Black people is criminalized, and Lil Nas X being thrown to the ground and arrested is no laughing matter, Mey Rude writes.

Chromatic Fantasy FUGUE Issue 5 is UP on ITCH. it is 43 pages!! CW for a little violence and nudity this chapter. Take a look: dirtcup-comics.itch.io/the-chromati...

As soon as you’re willing to sacrifice any one group of people, you’ve already lost to fascism. Stand up for trans rights or get out of the way.

#TransRightsAreHumanRights and comics are great.

Cedar Waxwings are named after the little waxy red tips, called astaxanthin, on their secondary feathers. This Cedar Waxwing was pulling off some fancy aerial manoeuvres while hunting bugs, and showed off these tiny red tips! The astaxanthin are now thought to be involved with social status.

one of the many great things about being married to your best friend is that you both have a built in permanent complaints department in each other. we are constantly like "babe you wanna hear some stupid bullshit i'm mad about" and the answer is always yes

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

The next thing I'm excited for: my boyfriend is arriving in 12 days??? It's going to stay here, in my house, for a full month!

I spent the last four days at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival with my dad, and I had a fantastic time!

And I've obviously been saying this a lot lately, but BDS does not expect anyone to drop everything made by Microsoft all at once. They pick very specific targets in order to get as wide a coalition as possible, and in the case of Xbox, even suggest different tiers of engagement.

It's a direct line. First, Microsoft's Azure enabled the mass surveillance of a civilian population living in apartheid conditions on the West bank. Then, that same technology was deployed in Gaza to support airstrikes into "densely populated" civillian areas. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.
