just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

My friend @monteiro.bsky.social blew up the stage in Oslo recently. I laughed, I cried, I cheered. HUMANS. We're OK. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH2d...

“Help!” cried Toad. “My list is blowing away. What will I do without my list?”

Completely forgot that I made a list of content designers you can follow when I first signed up to Bluesky. Here they are look. Absolute word nerds, the lot of them. go.bsky.app/7Pm7ERf

This is delicious.

“I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own ’bunker’, who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking.”

It’s that tiiiiiiiiiiime again! Women of West St. Paul is launching a flash mobilization of our annual pad drive. Period poverty is pervasive and a need in food shelves nationwide. Neighbors, Inc. needs US. In fact, they came and asked if we could help, because we get it done.

Things today's White House autism announcement did not do: -Discuss strategies to increase supports and services for autistic people/families -Highlight why autistic people and families deserve respect, not pity or fear -Endorse one speck of autism research that is not dangerous pseudoscience

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Daily bunny no.3031 falling for the oldest trick in the book

Stay safe out there, kids.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

“This is an enterprise.” This is the first time I’ve seen this sentiment stated so explicitly. They’re “restructuring” America as a for-profit company. Services for vulnerable populations, research, health, climate, parks, education … excess overhead. www.cnn.com/2025/03/23/p...

Someone got ahold of my credit card number and made a $1000 donation to a nonprofit. 🤨

OH SHIT HE'S DOING THE THING

A nice little example of the toots of the Northern Pygmy-Owl from my encounter the other day. #birds #owls #nature

This account is worth a follow. Constantly cracks me up.

the thread we need 🏆

In other, better news: I’ve been reading @amytan.bsky.social’s The Backyard Bird Chronicles, and it is a balm for my soul. Highly recommend. This interview with (another hero of mine) @edyong209.bsky.social is the perfect companion piece.

I’ve been thinking a lot of the “comply in advance” we’re seeing from orgs ditching DEI programs. When I look at these companies’ websites, a lot of “inclusion”programs remain in place, specifically for diverse employee groups (without describing them as such). It’s the “equity” that’s missing.

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

A movie you’ve watched more than six times.

Same, Zuko. Same.

okay well I need to stop checking bsky while waiting to take off on my Delta flight

This always makes me feel like I’m at risk of being sucked into the seatback screen where I’ll be trapped with the tiny Delta crew people forever

This would never happen in Minnesota.

Thanks, @halvorson.bsky.social and the rest of the good folks at Button for helping me spread the word about #content, #DesignSystems, and ways to bring efficiency to both of them. www.buttonconf.com/blog/how-to-...

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.” Lots of information and resources in this one. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

okay well full transparency it is also 1°

7:30am in Minnesota. The sun is up, the birds are singing, there’s finally snow on the ground … what a beautiful way to start the week.

Following this live is what I’ll be doing all night now I guess.

More of this, please. Five things I’m grateful for: 1. My kids’ health and well-being 2. My professional community 3. Book clubs 4. Birds 5. Living in Minnesota What are your five?

my autistic 17yo: RFK says vaccines cause autism me: well sorry I got you vaccinated 17yo: no it’s cool, every year I get a level up

The second I get back into my house I am adopting the floofiest dog I can find, and I am going to snuggle up with it and bury my face in its floofy fur and just stay there, maybe forever?

thread with @aoc.bsky.social’s advice for this moment, and it involves calling your reps. not sure how? use 5calls.org (they have an app too).

This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a very good boy. 14/10

Buffy reboot. Thelma and Louise Broadway musical written by Neko Case. I am squinting at little pinpoints of light in the dark today.

I know it's easier for the NFL with its billions of dollars to say this than for, say, a nonprofit arts org or a school. But we need a lot more people in charge of those places to be loudly pointing out that hiring with an eye towards diversity IS about hiring the best people.

This is accurate.

OH MY GOD “Also executive producing the pilot is Dolly Parton whose company Sandollar was producer on the original.”

see this is what happens when you pretend to be religious but don't actually know how the story ends

lol

I have now watched this eight thousand times.

The music industry is currently on stage

Well, I hated The Brutalist. Perhaps not the best movie to see when you’re in the middle of a nightmare home remodel.
