its unfortunate that artists get talked out of their rare perspectives so often. ‘its just not done that way’ someone says and artist goes ‘oh okay guess ill sand that part off.’ bud that is your SPARK. so much of my success is from holding firm on the things i do that were called ridiculous

Another author website that's too clever. I couldn't link to the book on there. None of her books have their own URLs. gracedli.com

They think you're stupid.

Shroud is a really good book. Give it a read or a listen.

Impossible to pick. Here are some less popular ones: Get Yo Groove On Hide the Bone Mountains Lavaux Pink Cashmere

Official petition to refer to Venus/Mars conjunctions as Prince conjunctions 🔭

thank you bell hooks

Haven't been keeping up in the regular season. Should I be more impressed with Orlando or more unimpressed with Detroit?

This is as good as everyone's saying it is. The anti-corruption message is a good one, imo

Truly wonderful read. Don't miss it.

The thing that really kills me is the graphic design. When folded, it will look like a normal white square. The corners and edges are white. Puff? White. Flat? White. 1 Point? White. Presidential? White. I guess that underscores how useless of a gesture it is to begin with.

I wasn't aware of the relationships between belief in free will, belief in a just world, and support for retributive punishment.

Did some impromptu trail maintenance at Storr's Hill today. There were two small to medium sized trees in the path. Not sure why the lighting is so different with the before & after.

Now this is the kind of story I love. A story about quantification and measurement with concrete implications and no straightforward resolution (pun intended.)

Great post about how a UBI creates meritocratic conditions that mitigate luck and facilitate greatness. Of course, not everyone is a genius or even creative. After reading Kimmerer, & pulling invasives, I noticed we could be doing much more to manage our shared environment with more free hands.

Bro have you tried Chrim? It’s even better than Gorf. It resolves dids 4 times faster that Wramb. It’s like Vromp without the blockchain. You’ve gotta check out Jenpid. It’s the new Truffle. Everyone at the con was comparing it to Swerdy. You gotta check it all out bro.

I'm not traffic. You're traffic.

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet. Leeta sad. No hike on the horizon. No hike ever.

Phil Scott has got to go

They're so psyched about those hats

Super neat!

This is what the Navy is for!

Habitation module on the moon?!

Should I open my DMs back up or is it still sketchy out there?

Great article. Not heavy, even though the topic is. Gets into some fascinating nerdy stuff, but in an approachable way.

Amazing. I knew the photos would be better than the Livestream, but I didn't imagine the eclipse would look like this. www.nasa.gov/image-detail...

@welch.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, have you seen this?

Sometimes it snows in April

Read the story. Not a peep that the PCBs came from general electric. They just happened to be in the river and were now magically lowered.

If we made it illegal to sell alcohol where and when public transportation isn't available, we'd save a lot of lives AND have much more comprehensive and usable public transportation.

This is one of the creepiest stories that I’ve come across in a long time… Here’s the story of the New England Highland Fox! #fox #wildlife #animal #ai #hallucination #nature #biology #science #stem

Looping where the moon will be but currently is not

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

This song brings me joy

The experience of little fish is very different from that of whales. Most of us are in a void instead of a community. It can be liberating, but also feel pointless. Solvable, but there are issues inherent in the twitter social network paradigm.

This is eco-terrorism

This is great! We need nuclear for our heat pumps. Not the biggest fan of Phil Scott, but I'm glad to see his name on this.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

If you think protests are useless and the people in charge aren't going to listen anyway... That's not the real benefit of a protest. A protest is for networking with your local community. It's for learning about community support opportunities. It's for getting out and talking with your community

If you don’t have 2FA active on Bluesky, turn it on NOW. There’s an ongoing attack taking over accounts and spamming with links, which seems to add an “app password” for access externally. Already had one friend’s account compromised and I’m seeing others.

The Idaho GOP are weird creeps who want to see hot women in the men's room.

@anisota.net says I missed the alt text on one of my images. What's the easiest way to find the post so I can correct it?

this is why bsky is great

Is it time to talk about comprehensive passenger rail yet, or nah?

We can do this here

@atls.city !set US-VT

WATCH FOR BLACK ICE!🧊 Slippery conditions are possible on the roads this morning! Due to cold morning temperatures and a few light snow showers, there are reports of black ice. Roadways that just look wet could be ice so go slowly this morning!

I'm about halfway through Children of Strife, and so far I recommend it. If you liked the others in the series, you'll like this one.
