Confused boat.

As the spring admission tour crowds grow, I remember sitting at a hotel breakfast with other families on college move-in day and thinking, this feels so familiar. 10 Austen quotes to show college admission is the new 19th c marriage market: www.underrevision.com/blog/post/23... #janeausten #college

Driving down I5 yesterday talking about how around here you can say where you live by naming your local mountain.

I've started making erasure poems from those AI-generated spam-slop emails writers get. Hello Hi this message finds you compelled to connect it's difficult to be meaningful Wishing you a moment

America and Israel are in essence waging chemical war in Iran, filling the air above its metropolis with toxic smoke after lighting its oil storage depots on fire. How is anyone supposed to "rise up" when they can't breathe? open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Spring is in the Air, Colin See-Paynton.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off. Leave your comment here: eplanning.blm.gov/Participate-... morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ...

If bombing solved things, we'd have found out before now, I feel. It's certainly had enough tries at it.

Flickers carrying on outside all yesterday and today. They sound exactly as deranged as a bird that will probably put a new hole in my wall this spring ought to sound. Impossible not to admire them anyway (from inside my patched walls). #bird

Seed sowing time — entry for #March in the Labors of the Months section of the Très Riches Heures, probably the most important illuminated manuscript of the 15th century: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/labors-of-the-months-from-the-tres-riches-heures

Nobody should be able to buy the sky.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

It's willow season.

The beloved Selkie! They have a grey sealskin coat that can be taken off when walking on land. In some stories, the coat is stolen by humans to trap the Selkie on land, often making them forget their roots to the sea. #FolkloreThursday 🦭

Merlin Bird ID. Duh.

Been sick for a week and I can tell I'm on the mend because now I'm enraged about everything all the time again.

Trump Administration Announces That We Don’t Know Where The Sun Goes At Night

It's been a long while since I've done a book birthday week cake pic, but it's been a long wait for @vulgarhistory.bsky.social's debut. All the cake and all the congrats!

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

There’s gotta be some grevious sidhe curse in store for the hallions that fake Irish music with AI. Is it against BlueSky T&Cs to wish their loved ones replaced with lifeless fetches and their wealth turned to worthless lumps of coal? May their teeth fall out and the gentry take their sight.

Hosted a visitor this week. Fit right in.

When it's cold enough to see the melody.

Saw a drone operator chase a seal off once, trying to get a photo I guess. Just kept buzzing it up close until it submerged. No thought or care.
