Hello! I once almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you feel queasy and suddenly exhausted don’t lay down for “just a minute” - run outside, breathe fresh air. The space between “I feel a little weird, I guess I slept bad/ate something weird” and death is like ten minutes.

Nobody: Nobody: Nobody: Me: WHERE MY IN FLIGHT TURKEY VULTURE FANS AT!? 🪶

Remember to take time to grab a bite to eat please. 🍲

Putting up the #librarysky bat signal! Does anybody know of a database of libraries that have experienced censorship or other professional ethics issues? Just so I’m not doing the hiring rounds and… just hypothetically… find out I’m supposed to replace somebody who got fired over Genderqueer?

kind of wild watching people struggle with the idea that I think "US population" includes people who, for whatever reason, are not allowed to vote in presidential or any other election

also: children are people who are impacted by political decisions, as the case of 5 year old Liam Conejo Ramos, who is being held in a concentration camp, makes painfully clear. Pretty sure Liam has opinions about that and will for the rest of his life.

The wizard walks the runic path around the greenhouse that keeps the microclimates around each plant in place.

Currently appreciating my friends. Do you have people in your life who make you feel welcome and appreciated? I hope so. It's worth finding them. - #YourNonbinaryCousin

Shout out to photojournalists working in Minneapolis right now who are doing truly incredible work here. The articles that go along with the photos might be tepid, and unable to take choose a side, but these photographs are not neutral.

YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT TO HAVE STRENGTH TO WIN A RIGHTEOUS BATTLE.

I don't always get into nonfiction, but I enjoyed both The Last Days of the Dinosaurs and When the Earth Was Green last year. Riley Black knows how to show all sorts of creatures as compelling characters while staying based in real scientific findings. I look forward to seeing her do it again!

🎵She's got a ticket to fly🎵

Very brief substorm but I managed to see pink aurora with the naked eye from the center of the biggest city in Ohio in a neighborhood with light pollution so bad you can read by the streetlights all night Gonna consider that a big win #aurora

It matters to me because I care about my neighbors And also my own cortisol cycling and ability to see the stars and aurora bsky.app/profile/skwi...

This is really cool and heartwarming. Perfect, really. And sales will be donated by LynLake businesses in Minneapolis to folks impacted by ICE. Historical Norwegian protest hat? Take my money.

Little Cat O has declared this her day to snuggle with me.

People don't really think through how the Nazis actively made it harder for Jews to leave The idea that all Americans are guaranteed any kind of freedom of movement, including boarding a flight, is quite the presumption at this point.

X2 today! We finally get to meet Nightcrawler.

Someone please tell the cats how long humans need to sleep (without stopping!) in order to be not-grumpy, to think clearly, and to have more energy.

Rewatching the 2000 X-Men movie and again thinking about how good that world is at being an analogy for ours.

I just made an onion-tomato-bean stew thing with four whole onions and half a lemon. It was 100% worth the time. But if I hadn't had the time, there's nuts in the pantry or leftovers in the freezer that are also worth having.

SEIZE JOY FROM THE JAWS OF PAIN. HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH WATER TODAY?

youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0?... This one is most excellent. Parody of Battle Hymn of the Republic lampooning Trump.

I always get distracted by the line about "that new Egyptian restaurant" in this song, but I think that says more about me. It's a good love song.

I once wrote a song about all the places I've called home as represented by food and drinks, and Portland, OR was this koshari.

Need for root canals reared its head. Been pretty sick. Can tell my bodies started fighting back again, as todays the first lessening of symtoms but I need treatment ASAP (2k per root canal) & living need funds. Very exhausted, please boost for us? linktr.ee/wylder

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

Bex is battling cancer. They are UNHOUSED and they need food to be able to take their medication. They have NOTHING right now. They also need transportation to their oncology appointment tomorrow. Can we see our way to sending them $100 please? [$50 for food, $50 for a ride] Don't make them beg!

Part of what's embarrassing is that it was a weird combination of "But I can still do it if I put enough effort in, so what's my problem? I have nothing real to complain about" and "This used to be one of my strongest skills, so losing even a bit of it for what seems like no real reason hurts."

This fits with me thinking I may not be hyperlexic anymore. I used to be unable to avoid reading text right in front of me, upside-down hardly even slowing me down. Now, I need to actively try in order to read upside-down, with only certain letters and length of words being unavoidable. #AutChat

Next Sunday’s #AutChat is on forms of communication. January 25, 1pm Pacific / 4pm Eastern / 21:00 UTC / 9pm BST on BlueSky. autchat.com/forms-of-com... If you know anyone who might be interested and is autistic or similarly neurodivergent, we encourage you to invite them.

Going to put everything in one this time. #AutChat I was hyperlexic as a kid. Hard part: others not believing me about what I'd read. Otherwise, pretty nice. I'm not sure I am anymore (since burnout in 2016). I'm still not used to less ease. I barely read 25 books in 2025, most of them audio (❤️🎧).

Q0: Introduce yourself! Say anything you like about yourself or your interest in #AutChat or in today's topic, hyperlexia/hypernumeracy. Quick reference for this week's #AutChat questions (please wait till they're posted to answer): autchat.com/hyperlexia-h...

YOU ARE A TRUE WARRIOR. I AM PROUD OF YOU.

Long time ago, Heather Alexander's fans realized you could sing the lyrics of March of Cambreadth (bloody war song) to the tune of Hap'n Frog (kids' song) & vice versa. She saw what was coming & hurried to make the parody herself before someone else did. This one's for all the froggies!

The wizard puts a very gentle heat spell on a pillow for the little cat to sit on.
