Just found out there was a Home Movies Princess Bride made during lockdown--in which Reiner and his father took part. Saw the first couple of chapters and it's incredible. And HILARIOUS 🥺 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Mo... www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8p...

I think I’ve seen this movie at least twenty times and I swear it’s never any less funny

Still looking ✌️

Just learned of this tiny advent story and I am ENCHANTED!! 🥹😍

I'm as angry as anyone about literally everything but there's nothing simple about how emotional grooming works. My family were socially liberal and fact-based and believed in strict ethics and (and and)--and we STILL had cognitive dissonance and it STILL took me until my 40s to escape the toxicity

Lichenomphalia hudsoniana, a #mushroom producing #lichen. The green discs are the thallus/body of the lichen. It produces these beautiful, tiny mushrooms that are typically an inch or less high. #fungi #fungifriends Newfoundland, Canada

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

This #FossilFriday it's one we found a couple of days ago but a perfect split to reveal this stunning calcite ammonite! Sadly not ideal tides to head out today to find bits but who knows what's lurking out there for next week!

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Omgomgomg look at this wonderful review from @publisherswkly.bsky.social for Bitter Over Sweet!! I am so grateful ❤️❤️❤️ @sfwp.bsky.social

This is the second time I have photographed one of my favorite Mycena species - this one is found on leaves and has regular water droplets along the stem for a reason which remains a mystery to me. From the Chocó Andino region of Ecuador. #mycology #fungi #mycena #fungifriends

I felt on an adrenaline roll (?) so I’ve gone and added three more original paintings to my website, as originals to buy. I’m well aware most people can’t afford original paintings but if you like looking at my work on here, shares of these posts do help me. Thank you www.chloecumming.com/paintings

Despite the lateness of the season, I expect to announce a new design within the week. Meanwhile, these pendants, and numerous other pieces, are in stock! This has been a Difficult Year for many reasons. I and other independent sellers are particularly grateful for your support. #MathArt #SciArt

Got plans this Saturday? Want to write some uncanny stuff and talk about domestic fabulism? This workshop keeps selling out but we just added a couple more seats and I think we really will close it out after that, so get in now! It’s gonna be really fun and extremely generative

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends. scz.org/blog/the-rea...

✨Today’s Bookmail! 📚📬✨ @lumchanmfa.bsky.social is a writer I greatly admire and this collection of flash fiction digs deep into the people and stories beyond the Hawaiian beaches and tourists. Very thrilled to add it to my shelves!

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

They're up!! My US customers, I'm sorry for the shipping price!! It's what it is until something changes about the tariffs :(

You will be visited by three spirits.

It was an absolute delight to chat with Javier, and you can find my answers (and some sneaky sequel hints) over on the blog.

For the evening crowd, some more lovely pendants--designed and sold by my husband, this time in gold. Is there a math lover in your life? He also has offerings in Tshirts and posters, housewares and other sundries. There's still time to order for holiday gifts! 🌈🙂💖 www.diffgeom.com/shop/

So beautiful, @sylviekant.bsky.social!💗

I'm biased but I just think these are gorgeous. My husband designs and sells jewelry and other items. Please check out his shop--there's still time to get in gift orders before the holidays! 🌈🙂

Badgers think they're so great just because they can eat 100 earthworms every night. I could probably do that too if I wanted to

The most beautiful thing I’ve seen this week. I was standing on the edge of a large reservoir at night when this huge, elegant, graceful Gold-ringed cat snake came gliding out of the darkness

One of my most favourite glass vessels: A marvellous Roman vessel in the form of a pig, made of blue glass. It was used to hold ointment or perfume. Found in a burial in Cologne. Dating late 2nd/early 3rd century AD 📷 Römisch-Germanisches Museum Köln 🏺 #archaeology
