'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

We just declared drought for the fourth year in a row. And this year, it’s statewide.

So, you saw a ROAD CLOSED sign with a jersey barrier and said "Nah, not meant for me!" You are not going to believe this, but it IS actually to protect you. We hate that we have to say this but, never remove barriers. Unless, of course...nope. Never.

If you’ve been procrastinating on taking a day off, stop and schedule it ASAP. All that crap on your desk will still be there, but you won’t if you run yourself into the ground.

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir. The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell. Open letter linked + explainer 🧵1/ www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gilea...

It is tied to government sponsored creation of repair services. And a recycling fee when purchasing an item. The fee varies based on the item. There is a grade like the EU food ones to show ease of repair. 2nd part of the link is in English. From the French gvt: www.ecologie.gouv.fr/politiques-p...

In a bold move toward sustainability and consumer protection, taken a stand against the wasteful practice of Planned obsolescence. By legally banning this approach, the country is pushing manufacturers to create products that last longer, are easier to repair, and generate less environmental waste.

Did you see the viral video of a woman being handcuffed by ICE agents at SFO Sunday night? They knew where to find her because TSA officials tipped them off under a new Trump administration program. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

Stop. Collect yourself. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Unclench your jaw. Stretch your fingers. Relax. Relate. Release. If just getting up is all you can do and thats okay too. But try to find something resembling your own peace. I hope you have a decent day.

Highly recommend masking while you travel. I was the only person in a mask on 2 of my 3 flights today. So many people doing WET, PRODUCTIVE coughing at the airport. I’m convinced some ppl come to the airport just to cough.

They've done the same at BWI. Not great.

This is bad: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest airport in the world, has *turned off* its official wait time tracker www.atl.com/times/

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

"Britannica’s lawsuit said that OpenAI unlawfully copied nearly 100,000 of its articles... The complaint said that ChatGPT produces “near-verbatim” copies of Britannica’s encyclopedia entries, dictionary definitions and other content, diverting users who would otherwise visit its websites."

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

OK so this young trans gentleman was cut off by his parents, has been unable to get MIT to up his financial aid, has been working multiple jobs while maintaining an A- average AT MIT (no one does this), but he is gonna need to actually pay his tuition to graduate: www.gofundme.com/f/help-matth...

The world is completely fucked right now, but here is one person we can help. If you're able to, let's get this young gentleman through university.

You’re not too young to self examine and press your doctor if something seems off. If you have reproductive cancers in your family (this includes prostate) this can place you at higher risk. let your doctor know and discuss screening. www.breastcancer.org/research-new...

So. This is gonna be my *main* thread for my Sinners movie thoughts. I’ll probably have others, but this one will be ultimately pinned 📌

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

And worth noting also that there's a subset of Americans (namely folks with small kids and/or mobility issues) who end up really alienated by the glibness of bike/public transit folks, who might be more open to car alternatives if their needs were treated with more seriousness by those advocates.

Senate Bill 6346, "establishing a tax on millionaires", just passed the Washington House on a 51-46 vote after more than 24 hours of floor debate.

In the next 24 hours, we can stop a proposed estate tax rate repeal in the Washington State Legislsature. Senate Bill 6347 would cost $200M in funding to early learning and childcare. Tell your state reps you don’t support balancing the budget on the backs of working families. Let’s kill SB 6347.
