Fussy-cut star # 29 #EPP #QuiltSky

First thunderstorm of the year last night. I’m glad I took photos of the lilacs & the first rose before it started raining and they got droopy! #BloomScrolling

I advocate bringing back all these pronouns, but we're going to have to update the orthography or couples will get really upset at being called "git" with a hard g. Yit looks pleasing to me too Also weirdly happy to see a Wulf & Eadwacer shout-out, that was always one of my favourite poems to teach

A favorite from my collection - this luminous little one from the 1960s. Thank you so much for all the donations to the shelter today, everyone. You lifted my spirits at a time when I really needed it. 💕

Good morning! 🪶

University of Missouri researchers engineered the algae to produce limonene (orange-scented oil) which makes it water-repellent. Microplastics are water-repellent too, so they and the algae stick together, and the algae-and-oil clumps sink to the bottom of the water buff.ly/AEtzyt1 #ShareGoodNewsToo

One thing we can do in Chicago: demand all-gender public bathrooms in every park and library, so trans kids (and everyone else!) have a safe place to go to the bathroom

Happy Pride! Folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum are queer too. The A in LGBTQIA+ belongs to us, not allies. Being queer isn't only about who you fuck.

We don’t talk enough about good things that are happening. I’ll start with one. After vanishing for over 60 years, Piping Plovers returned to PA and this year we celebrate 10 years of them nesting in PA! #birds

I need to try making individual posts for each flag design sometime to showcase what I have available, but here's a quick bump on my pride stickers!! a couple sold out last night so I've updated the listings with backstock! #pride #indigenousart V1🏳️‍🌈 ko-fi.com/s/51e63e6b04 V2🏳️‍⚧️ ko-fi.com/s/51e63e6b04

Delivery Day! On our way to deliver this new painting to Canada House Gallery in Banff. “Lost In The Light” (24 x 48”acrylic on watercolour paper on canvas stretcher) #canadianart #banffnationalpark #landscapepainting 🇨🇦

It is Pride Month. Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories of Canadians who fought for LGBTQ rights. Today it is the story of Canada's decriminalization of homosexuality in 1969.

Postcard from my collection, no date. If you don't mind, please check out my birthday fundraiser for our local animal shelter! 🥳 givebutter.com/mollys-birth...

None of you work in my industry (trucking), but if you know of a place hiring pricing analysts, I'd join any industry to keep my house and health. High level excel user, mid level sql and pbi. Deadline oriented. Over a decade of experience. Jira certified. Lol.

It's not well understood that solar farms are doubly beneficial. Reducing ghgs AND increased biodiversity.

I don't think we should outlaw heterosexuality I really don't I know it's got some issues, and there's all the toxic sludge that spatters on the rest of us, but people should be allowed to be straight if that's what's in their hearts maybe there should be a waiting period or counseling tho IDK

HAPPY PRIDE Y'ALL! To celebrate, we are giving you a month for free when you sign up for a monthly paid subscription to The Flytrap. This is for limited time only, so get it while it's hot! https://f.mtr.cool/gigadbpeeg

"The weeds are my mortal enemies and must be eradicated" is at least a useful hate group

There is a reason why right wing politicians keep defunding public resources from education to entertainment, & removing cheap/free third spaces to keep everyone physically and socially isolated from wider groups, it absolutely helps with recruitment, always has.

Happy Pride. All the Queer Space books you should read.

I’m holidaying in Crete and came across this little guy in a souvenir shop! A copy of the hedgehog-shaped Cycladic vase from Syros! He’s coming home with me! 🦔 😍

The world’s vast and strange, Hara, but no vaster and no stranger than our minds are.

You may not like these suspicionless checkpoints, but they are necessary to make sure Bluesky users are photographing their cats at or above the minimum required rate

Some people feel like sh*t every day. It’s me, I'm some people.

It is Indigenous History Month. Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories from Canada's Indigenous history. Today it is Shaaw Tlaa, the woman who played a big role in starting the Klondike Gold Rush.

A small scarab soaked in waterfall mist. The metallic green on the beetle is not pigment, but structural color (a result of micro-structures that reflect only certain wavelengths). If you look closely within the droplets, the green is refracted into other hues. (Dichelonyx sp.; Montana) #Bugsky 🌿🐙📷

There are two types of helping make the bed.

for the normal people; If you're not willing to turn back when one of your party says they're exhausted or injured kindly just stay home. Nature is not for you. Humans have to cooperate and look out for each other to survive. The place for ruthless individualism is the 'Burbs.

The New York Times—during Pride—published an essay about the joys of being heterosexual. So in the spirit of not doing that, here's my conversation with @chescaleigh.bsky.social about coming out late, finding your queer self on your own timeline, and why it's never too late to be gay.

Sound on 🐈‍⬛🤍

Putting the finishing touches on the completed scenery panels for our first round of gloss coating this weekend! #SkyhorseCarousel

This flouf is one of 15 healthy California condor chicks to hatch at our conservation center this season. A new record! #Condorable #KeepCalmAndCarrion

"Don't make a woman out of me. My name is Megillus ... I was born a woman like the rest of you, and I have the mind and the desires and everything else of a man." Megillus in Lucian's 'Dialogues of the Courtesans', 2nd century CE #transhistory

Interesting thread. Well worth reading.

Looking for folks who speak Gaeilge (Irish), Cymraeg (Welsh), & Scottish Gaelic for help with pronunciation. It's for an audio book & I don't want to screw anything up. It's not a paid position (I'm poor) & I can put your name in the acknowledgements if you'd like. Reposts deeply appreciated.

Today is the start of celebrations recognizing Pride Season. While we focus on celebrating queer and trans joy and resilience, there is still significant work to do to defend and protect our human rights at home & abroad. Pride is and will always remain a core Canadian value.

Our friend Sterling's Toothed Toad is only known from a single stream on Mount Fansipan in Vietnam! They have a tiny row of teeth on the roof of their mouth! Though they are called toads, they are better classified as frogs because they are not in family Bufonidae! (photo by Benjamin Tapley)
