De Kallektuffquell in het Müllerthal. Water sijpelt van een rots begroeid met mos in verschillende kleuren. Een mooie plek 😍 in de W7 wandeling! Prachtig

I told my husband I'm becoming a witch for the same reason, and he just nodded and kept reading
I'm gone for a few weeks in difficult mental health recovery and my BFF has curated a feed of funny and loving memes just for me, while I spent the entire time fearing everyone resented me for withdrawing. Get you friends like @oh-sew-ritzie.bsky.social. I'm just sitting here boohooing like a dork.
as someone who had a farmer grandfather who owned about five, which quickly became twenty, all of which pooped buckets of pellets each day, requiring us to cart it away in wheelbarrows -- I would advise caution
Every once in awhile I post this: The way ANYONE can resist right now is to empower themselves and learn how to fact-check in a time when the truth is under constant attack. The Chicago Guide to Fact-Checking (2ND edition) is a great, current resource. Keep it on a shelf!
Orlando Furioso, reading your posts
as much as I love art, I love watching people make it not as a performance for *me*, but just witnessing the process if they wish to share it - artists shouldn't feel pressured to perform in that way I just find the artistic mind so fascinating, and their process is a lens into that
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
bless you, I almost forgot this banger
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
Momijigari (1899) is believed to be the earliest surviving Japanese film. It was made by Shibata Tsunekichi
it's a hawaiian-bread-rolls-dipped-in-ranch afternoon over here
each week is a new adventure
the messiah of american health unfortunately looks like he intentionally went to town on a bag of raw great value cesium-137 shrimp
me writing recipe blogs: here's a tomato sauce my great grandfather would enjoy, who was Sicilian and often praised the agricultural mafia families of yore here's a chicken and dumplings recipe I learned after I was told I'd never have a happy husband if I didn't learn how to cook
he usually ends with something to ruin the weekend for everyone
lol did you read his profile, made me chuckle and go “figures”

gonna stretch it with — wait for it — water
Just now…
She has really suffered an unusual amount of trauma for someone so young. First her aneurism and then this.
it's always a sign of the times when I bust out my depression cookbook economic depression not mental health related -- I unfortunately do not know the recipe for lexapro
Playing Takashi Yoshimatsu's beautiful Pleiades Dances to honor their beauty this evening. My personal favorite is Book IV. ✨💖
tbh I was hoping for an actual unleashed tiger
RIP to the barrel in Cracker Barrel 🤼 #AEW
totally valid, sand is not for everyone
What if I told you it’s both. It’s a really unstable hill tbh
I’m so ready to sand, I can sand all day. They call me Sahara down south. I don’t go there anymore though, it’s too hot.
Everyone should have equal access to dice AND sand and I’m ready to die on this hill.
And it was a such dangerous cesspool even before this. Facebook alone is so riddled with scammers that it provides endless content for scam-baiting streams, like Kitboga and Scammer Payback. In other words, people are *making a living* off of how bad it is.
Right after Putin told him to write an executive order banning how we currently vote?
I put on a Look Around You episode once and the kids took awhile before they were like, “Wait…. Miss, what IS this?”
I think my brain is coming back online. Probably 3 out of 5 lights blinking. We all get 5 unlabeled blinking lights at birth, idk if you know that. No idea what they indicate bc that’s apparently part of the journey.
WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.
I love these guys and Giant Bomb! We’ve watched them forever. Amazing game journalism and streaming. Ryckert is notoriously bad in the kitchen and his twitch streams are wonderful chaos.
WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."
Name a non LOTR character who could resist the one ring.
making "BOOK EM" into a t-shirt for librarians now
I think I read a newspaper titled "My Source News Opinion Now" in a dream once, and then I realized I was dreaming and woke up
Happy 402nd birthday Pieter Janssens Elinga. Because one should always remove one's shoes before sitting down with a good book.
joyful thing: every time you sweetly call your sleeping cat's name and they lift their little head and look at you like "tf you want now?"
that reminds me, I need to make coffee - ty

breaking on nyt: jerry has tiny holes
My friend came over weeks ago and offered me “jenny kush” because my name is jenny and that meant it “had to be good” - genuinely one of the sweetest gestures ever. I love the names now lol.
Six in a row on my feed.
bsky bot talking points: - gratitude journals? ew - you wouldn't be lonely if you were a charming dog - digital detoxing, usually cured by brunch in real life - saccharine takes on dark topics
Y’all like my pillow?
“Be cool, I have a permit” and you just flash the receipt from subway - you’ll be fine
whatever lesson that episode was trying to teach aside, tuvix just creeped me tf out
One of the original artworks I'll be making available tomorrow (sat 8/16) is a personal favorite - I'll be sad to see it go, but happy for it to go to a good home. "What Makes Ed Happy" 11x14", ink on paper dorywhynot.com/shop #ofmd #ofmdfanart
oh cool, I'm not the only one who thought of this reference lol
If she likes casual PC puzzle games, I loved Hidden Folks - it’s black and white and appears drawn by hand, but not retro.
oh my bad my bad sry
that’s a calico it’s just a lil sick
Modern journalism be like - "Let's hear from the real victim: the asshole who caused all the issues"
What GIF pops up when you type your name?
⚡️New York museum asks Bondi to arrest Putin during Alaska visit. Beka Museum urged immediate action, highlighting Russian President Vladimir Putin's role in the forced deportation of Ukrainian children and other atrocities committed under his rule.
opening a special cat cafe called "cats, coffee, and cannabis" somewhere and retiring early
UChicago killing so many of their humanities degrees is pathetic
You're probably going to have to be slightly more specific than this.
Post a pic without context
The colors and style (and subject!) are just everything I love to see. I stopped scrolling immediately. Thank you!!
sunken city hall
Those of us in STEM must vocally affirm that the humanities are our allies, and no department is expendable. Arguing we can survive by cutting whole disciplines isn’t just inhumane, it’s nonsensical. The humanities tell us why we’re here in the first place, and what to do about it! This isn’t hard!
The amount of STEM skills I use in my non-STEM field always surprises a lot of people (archiving and museology).
How do institutional incentives and norms affect open science practices? Here's one: At present we have zero US university-employed academics volunteering to moderate at @socarxiv.bsky.social It's all early career Europeans (except me and @pamelaoliver.bsky.social, who is emeritus.)
get ready for the next tantrum
I got into programming and large scale data work through Linguistics and I got into Linguistics through Classics. There's a depth and complexity that comes from the study of beautiful things in the world that absolutely remakes the way you see things.
When I don't know what other people are talking about
you have to put a website on to boil first does nobody consume media anymore
Interlude 🇯🇵
nooooo! that was my husband!!!!

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
In case you need a little inspiration today. 💖
update on me: I love Joe — from the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery
Blimey, I struggled with this Bittern. I tried so many complex feather pattern combinations, but in the end, I like this simple version. It also matches the simplicity of the rest of the series. #illustration #NorfolkBirds
snapshot examples of some earlier discourse on search engines and the internet as a whole
I guess it’s time to do some research on where to go from here.
the planchette on my decorative ouija board started moving and it spelled out “I’m not even in this thread” - his reach is out of control
Further, if you're out doing distro and see this happening, please speak up. Go over to the person photographing and tell them "please no photos of our neighbors. Many are vulnerable. You are potentially endangering lives." 99/100 times they apologize and delete the photos then and there. Be brave
My final piece for Zócalo Public Square's Sketchbook feature has to be my favourite - the Long-eared owl 🦉
If you click on "trump politics" under trending, the feed won't even load, like it's overwhelmed with the rest of us
this is my favorite line in the book of the dead
the bots on Bluesky are weirdly saccharine about discussing The Issues in a way that really creeps me out
a hug for whoever needs it today it is indeed one of those days
I’m a firm believer that whatever you go after and put your whole heart into, it will turn into *your* treasure somehow later. But people who primarily do things for profit and productivity often find themselves in a joyless situation. You’re good! 👍🏻
The mistake is in thinking the newspapers are interested in telling you the news. That might have been true once, but now their main function is maximising engagement to sell advertising and make as much money as possible. Riling up the population is always the most efficient way to do that.
Genuinely think you did *even better*!
SO, YOU KNOW THAT MEME WITH THE GIRL IN THE PINK TOP SHOUTING IN HER GUY FRIEND'S FACE AT A CONCERT? 🪶 #crow
Look. I wanna boycott Dean Cain too. But I can’t find anything he’s got going on to not buy…. Or watch. I don’t even know where to unfollow him. This is all so confusing.
