Tolkien and Lewis

huge tree limb came down in my neighborhood while I was walking the dog... poor tree

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

In order to keep global warming below 1.5C or 2C, we need to move industrial activity to clean energy. This will MORE THAN DOUBLE our global need for electricity. We are going to need a LOT more wind, solar, geothermal, and other clean electricity than most people are expecting. ⚡🧵

No law can ever make you less deserving of life, love, joy, health, safety, etc. Your worth is immense and cannot be limited by laws or contained by governments. Just in case anyone needed to hear that.

I think about this every day

Every time I get on this website I have to take 5 minutes to figure out if the world is literally about to end or if it's just Bluesky being Bluesky.

recalling when I worked at the flight school and a wayward turtle walked onto the runway and a pilot said so, then a guy in a golf cart went out there, moved the turtle, and radioed "the turtle has been revectored", a phrase that has been seared into my brain for life

I think I realized why I'm so drawn to lifting, and specifically the powerlifting side of things. It's because my brain hates doing more than 6 reps of anything at a time. 5? hell yeah, love it. 7? fuck off with that shit

This is how I live my life though

Have a #painting. "Looscaunagh Lough" came from a lucky day. After painting in Kenmare I packed up my paints and cycled up and over Moll's Gap, and coming down I was arrested by this lake high above Killarney National Park. Caressed by an indecisive rain I sat down and looked. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵

Starting a thread of my thoughts on LotR as I re-read. Follow along or mute the thread as you'd like! 💍🗡🌳🧙‍♂️

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Going to do something incredibly brave today (permanently adhering my collection of stickers onto a surface)

"In 1642 in the town of Lemgo, Germany, local pharmacist David Welman was accused of witchcraft and being a werewolf. Anonymous hate mail was sent to him, one of which included this sketch."

Sometimes life is just really good

Thoughts of a guy who lived during two world wars.
