Probably one of my top ten. I love this album.

I can’t think of a science that I believe in less in than sleep science.

There is a mechanism in the NBA for rescheduling games (like the T-Wolves a couple of years ago). They just don’t think a WNBA finals game is a big enough reason to.

10/10, perfect for when you want the guys installing new windows in your home to think they’ve brought tears to your eyes with their skill.

I already turned in my WA ballot but maybe you haven’t? Maybe you’re hearing conflicting things about one of the candidates? Really nice, concise summaries of the candidates here. I read it even though I didn’t need to!

📣 Seattle City of Literature microgrants are open! Individuals can get $1,000 and orgs can get $2,500 for Seattle-area literary work that also engages with another country. You have until November 6!

If you only read the official voters' pamphlet, you may be left in the dark. Use our Progressive Voters Guide to find out which MAGA-backed Supreme Court candidates oppose same-sex marriage, reproductive freedom, and holding billionaires accountable: www.progressivevotersguide.com/washington/2...

"Thank you for backing our campaign! And, extra thanks to everyone spreading the word on all those social media sites we're not on. "One surprising Indiegogo thing: we don't get emails when people back the campaign. In 2016 when we ran a Kickstarter for a limited edition of a John Crowley book..."

Marking my ballot today and it will be in a dropbox tonight!

Launched the @bookmoon.bsky.social Indiegogo campaign (began it last December, launched today, everything I do is a little slow these days!) today but missed the actual moment as I was in teen's zoom school class . . . 😂

I did one day at Sam Goody in a mall in the late 90s. After watching the horrible training video and spending an hour or so in the windowless store with revolting, yellowish lighting, I chose life and never went back.

Everyone in this thread is my honorary bff/sibling. I am so happy to be hitting “the change” at a time we are actually allowed to talk to each other, especially about how shit it all is!

Imagine a federal government that supported residents and citizens instead of finding any minuscule reason to punish and belittle them.

HEY YOU ON THE INTERNET We're only three weeks away from the paperback release of GOD'S JUNK DRAWER. You could preorder it now anywhere fine paperbacks are sold. It's got a lot of dinosaurs and astrophysics, so you might even be able to write it off on your taxes as a research expense.

I say I feed the birds but, really, it’s a full-menagerie event.

Saw a car today that had a Marine Corps sticker on it and a fresh “Is He Dead Yet?” bumper sticker, if you were wondering how it was going for the ol’ Commander in Chief.

Seven years ago today 🌿 Ananas lucidus I think (Ornamental Pineapple) blooming at Denver Botanic Gardens in the Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory.

October is here 🍂

I want to learn a new language but can’t decide between Italian, Japanese, and ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i. Maybe all three? (I also need to build my Spanish back up. All four?)

Doesn’t come as a surprise since Wemby reads (a lot) for fun. Reading helps you think about consequences for people other than yourself and helps you build a morality outside of religion.

Do it! I’m finishing it up this weekend, right after I recover from mean old Premee writing this one thing that happened… But honestly, this book is amazing. The world building, where you are just thrown into it and you figure some things out and some things just remain a mystery? I love it.

A new federal rule weakens the Endangered Species Act by redefining "harm" to wildlife. This change makes it much harder to protect the habitats that endangered species need to survive. Tell Congress to undo this change and protect endangered species here: mbayaq.co/4xSPQUZ

The Mountain is Out! 😎

A lovely post on the Girl Scouts Insta today showing that you can be into more than one thing at once, which is a fantastic lesson for kids. It’s okay to be into basketball and Victorian sensation novels and marine biology and, and … There is so much to enjoy in this world. Take it all in!

Anybody out there got a lead on where one might acquire a 19th century traveling library of the variety that was delivered by tender to lighthouses? I want one because reasons. historyofinformation.com/images/Scree...

Ok. WICKHILLS time.

Just donated to @nohateinwastate.bsky.social because signs are starting to go up for YES on the hateful anti-kid initiatives and they have the nerve to use colorful stripes on them. They aren’t pride colors but they imply it’s an inclusive vote. Assholes.

A hill I’m having a picnic on is that Charlie Jane is usually right.

I just had a conversation a couple of days ago about WWII in British pop songs.

I know I haven't updated in a while. There's been a lot going on. - My calcium levels are still worrying. - My eye scans aren't good. - I have to get a CT scan soon. I need help to pay for everything to be done privately. Any amount would be helpful. Thanks. www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

Mine is always about my brother, Brain

Turns out I needed some loud Ramones today.

It was our family computer and then I took it to college with me (along with a dot matrix printer and a box of paper). Used it all four years.

Sunset last night at Tin Wis (aka MacKenzie Beach) in Tofino. I was hosting open mic night at Brown's Socialhouse but took a quick break to capture a few photons. Over the next few weeks but we should still be seeing a lot of blue sky and sunsets. #Tofino #Ucluelet #VancouverIsland

We have *six days* left until the Academy of Natural Sciences, North America's oldest Natural History museum, is scheduled to close it's doors. Here are *six reasons* why we cannot - and will not- let that happen.

Didn’t know for the longest time that OMD’s version was a cover.

Exactly one month ago, the FDA responded to me saying there was no shortage. I knew it was bullshit.

I call this one “Evening Feeding of the Birds”.

Once you start conceding ground to the “protect sports” angle in order to win an election you’re not fighting for anyone’s rights

Get yourself a Steller’s Jay that looks at you like this. Just kidding. Don’t. He’s stalking me. I’m inside the house on the couch. #stellersjay #birdsky

The thing is, whether it’s Palestine or trans inclusion or Black lives, keeping your views to yourself only works when your actions speak for themselves. You can still quietly support marginalized groups or you can quietly allow those with hateful views and actions to have your time and money.
