incredible things happening at the nazi bar

I saw a Widow Underwing moth (Catocala vidua) in an urban area weeks ago. It was my first time identifying a moth, and it's a feeling I wish I could extract, bottle, and give away for free.

Bluesky has genuinely revived my love for science communication online. After watching the same posts go nowhere on Twitter, seeing them resonate here has been such a good reminder of why I do this. Thanks for being here 🖤

I hope to live such a good, decent life that - upon my death - even the people with cruel, hollowed-out heroes come to my defense when someone disrespects the memory of who I was. RIP Rob and Michele Reiner

I hate writing my CV

I am a PhD student at Brown University. As our community is still in the middle of this crisis, there are ways to help that go beyond thoughts and prayers.

my dad is a minister who refers to pooping as getting the sin out of your life

I am so grateful to @atrupar.com, @taniel.bsky.social and the team at @boltsmag.org - I do a lot of social system analysis so I can't help but sing their praises as signal aggregators. I can actually get work done and stay informed because of them.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

ME: [seven days into the Twelve Days of Christmas, showing up at the bird store again] hello, I would-- BIRD STORE GUY: no. you have to tell me what you're actually doing with all these birds before I sell you any more.

the Alzheimer's drug "Leqembi": - requires a baseline MRI - requires regular MRIs, as it can cause bleeding of the brain - is injected through an IV - can cause drowsiness and fatigue I'll just tuck that info away for later

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

the frog is a good symbol of resistance

The seal is for sportsmanship, and the gorilla is for ending 8 wars. Now if you’ll excuse me, they’re putting me in something called HERO squad.

In case you are colorblind like me and couldn't see the glowing red danger zones in Sektori, there's a public beta branch on Steam that has a high visibility option for those. Works great, finally finished the first level.

My cat requests blanket forts by digging her face into blankets and clawing at the mattress. If I lift the blanket, she yells.

I highly recommend Bolts. Please share! Only if it helps lend itself to Bolts, I have an MLIS and frequently recommend it to people as a resource in person, too. Their coverage has made it so easy to stay on top of elections happening concurrently around the US. (Yes - even small elections matter!)

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

coffee was weak I am now evil

sometimes you find something to chuckle at when checking in on your relatives

strong floor, no ceiling, bc we forgot about walls

anytime you address people experiencing poverty with generalized assumptions about everyone's situation, you really sound wildly uninformed and blind to your privilege - in pretty much every context this could come up

After the order to expedite the files, and based on his behavior over the past few days, I really think we are collectively witnessing a late stage, full-on narcissistic collapse.

dear bluesky: I want a "haha, nice" to pop up every time I'm the 69th like on a post, because I am childlike and full of whimsy,

someone somewhere is already adapting the sandwich guy's trial into a broadway play

Coherence is such a good movie - follow the trend and go watch it. It’s worth it.

I know things are terrible, but this moment requires your energy and boundless hope to help when the moment calls for it -- both of those things come from compassion for yourself, as much as you can manage right now. Guard your heart and mind, and be ready for a neighbor in need.

Change one letter, ruin a candy. surely we’ve done shittles already

I’m gonna be angry at you for wanting higher wages I’m gonna be angry at you for being on food stamps I’m gonna be angry at you for working full time and being on food stamps I’m gonna be angry at you for trying to get me to connect the dots to the actual problem

someone at the daily show heard my request

I need someone with enough rage and time on their hands to compile every instance of mike johnson saying "I don't know anything about that"

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

Imagine being so hated that every time there’s a protest against you, it breaks the record for largest single-day protest of all time, which was held by the last protest against you. Imagine sucking that much.

Portugal has your back America!
