Subtly downgrade a band Pudgy Dog

That latest dodgy health statement is an anagram of "some nutty causal lies" just so ya know.

Something was supposed to happen today? Did it involve a man from Mars who now only eats guitars?

The U.S.’s largest estuary is showing signs of revival. Once written off as a dead zone, water clarity in Chesapeake Bay has improved, underwater grasses are expanding, and crab populations are steadier thanks to decades of pollution controls. Nature buff.ly/morNFth #ShareGoodNewsToo

I went back to NYC last year for a visit and still have my city walk! Which I actually picked up as a teenager in DC. (I slow down _a bit_ in Portland, still dodging around everyone here.)

On the drive home just now I was thinking about how Homer's epics were oral histories written as songs that were meant to be memorized and performed for an audience, and I realized that the Iliad and Odyssey were both very long versions of Barrett's Privateers

The faster we go, the more we forget why we are going there.

One of my favorite thrifted books, from 1961- basically home repair 101 and aimed at middle schoolers, maybe young high schoolers. Covered basic repairs, safety, and some cleaning tips. While dated, especially wrt product safety (heater cords full of asbestos 😬😬😬) still has much useful advice

Yes, wonderful things still happen in this world. I couldn't make it to steamroller print this year, but happy to see so many people taking part in this annual event!

This entire conversation. (Pay artists, fuck enclosure.)

The flounciest nope

I accidentally resubscribed to Sword and the Sandwich and I'm so, so glad I did. Excellent writing, excellent sandwiches.

pov: you're me and have to start painting the kitchen tomorrow

Ten writers by whom I've read more than 5 books (not including comics): N.K. Jemisin Barbara Kingsolver J.R.R. Tolkien Robin Hobb Elizabeth Hand Shirley Jackson Ursula K. LeGuin Ariel Gore Kage Baker Kurt Vonnegut

I get it, lamp. It's been that kind of a day.

Radio and broadcast TV still give out emergency info, but how many people nowadays are likely to just have them on in a fast-developing situation like flash flooding?

Always good to see what Nan Goldin is doing.

Tell me your pet’s name with a gif

An essential read for June 3, about a song, a musician, and seeing who we are.

I saw lots of people on bluesky last November who were worried that they would "cancel Pride." That cannot happen. No one can cancel how we feel about ourselves. Pride is what we make it.

Look, there are a lot of valid criticisms to make of the Ivies, but “fuck this administration, we’re making our civics courses free so you can understand WHY fuck this administration” is a baller move. 3 cheers for prosocial spite.

Reposting because I quite like the phrase "soft mess" and suspect that I have fit that description at times. The cats seemed to think so, anyway.

A few old friends nod from the afterlife, except one who is also critiquing the young goths' camera setup

It's possible to comment on [rotten person] saying [rotten thing] without feeding the publicity maw. Instead, here is a sketchbook drawing of expired radishes I pulled out of my fridge one morning in 1990 Also, straws are useful and soup is delicious and ice cream is joy

Today's oddly worded scam text .

I love looking out the window on airplanes. But I've never been able to translate that sense of vastness and amazement combined with specific details about the time of day, the season, and what I see of human impact on the landscape. Copying my phone photos is meh, 2 second sketches don't quite hit

Mostly frozen Lake Yellowstone

"Faith connects to digital objects in that you have to believe in them."

"invisible hand" is an anagram of "blini vanished" 🙃

Good morning

But also

How my day goes.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I was out for a walk, so I splatted some cherry blossoms for you.

come for the song, stay for the sitemap

Flying from Florida to Oregon was a cascade of delays and I feel like absolute crap today BUT I got to fly by Mount Hood peeking out of the moonlit clouds and that is always a treat

!! Want. (Not necessarily "good" per headline: more like "beautifully rendered.")

Thunderstorms east of Fort Lauderdale.

This is fascinating because of the influence of pluvials on policy (esp. water use policy), planning, agriculture, and where people choose to live: if you were born between 1965-1985-ish and lived in western North America, the 1978-1999 wet period formed your expectations of "normal" weather

Oh ffs scammers, go away

This whole thread. <3

Old pen day. Some older than others. Surely I must have a specific use for each of these, I just have to live long enough to find out what that use is.

An amusing bird story and a beautiful map of flight paths? Thank you for brightening a blustery day.

I glanced at my laptop clock just as it turned to 12:34:56 and it felt for a second like an acceptable substitute for seeing a shooting star
