i will bang this drum every time! if you push through the pain, the time it'll take to heal will increase exponentially. its not worth it!

The Black Gospel Archive at Baylor University is the world's largest digital collection of gospel music. Now it wants to collect oral histories around its rare recordings.

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

Early morning Mount Fuji. I love the twilight light from the opposite direction of a sunrise, especially with mountains. This was late autumn season, when I saw lots of autumn leaves at the bottom of the lake. Taken with a CPL to make them visible.

#cooking This beef noodle soup is a pile of leftovers from my fridge. Half an onion, 3/4 of a tomato, part of a carrot. Even the beef stock was made from leftover bones I had stockpiled in a baggie in my freezer. It turned out delicious!

It's gonna take more than deleting your accounts. From EFF: -- "If these changes—or Meta’s long history of anti-competitive, censorial, and invasive practices—make you want to cut ties with the company, it’s sadly not as simple as deleting your Facebook account or spending less time on Instagram."

There are only *three* reference librarians for the largest film library in the world! They told me they automatically digitize all Umatic (3/4”) tapes because it’s so hard to find playback machines! And they showed me some paper prints! blogs.loc.gov/now-see-hear...

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely. The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I am such a bad businessman, I keep updating my $10 CSP brush set for free for almost three years now. Screw that, I'm not a bad businessman, I am grateful to my customers, and I appreciate them because my brushes bring ~$1000/yr. A month's wage at a low level IT job here. ko-fi.com/zhillustrator

Dumplings! I finally started to get the hang of folding them by the end. Recipe for the filling from here: hot-thai-kitchen.com/pork-dumplin... Though I did make my own wrappers from the Dumpling Galaxy cookbook. #cooking

So many of our deadlines are self imposed or artificial. This year let’s all try to not email after hours, on weekends, or on holidays. Let’s remove meetings and deadlines that aren’t needed, and when they are - make them reasonable (e.g. don’t give 24 hrs to respond).

Starting 2025 by posting my favorite photograph I took in 2024. The photo was taken in Buckskin Gulch (in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area, #Utah), the longest continuous slot canyon in the world and a testament to the power of time and water. #photography #hiking #rocks

Alt text added. Popping the phone number into the post so folks can copy/paste it more easily: US: 877-565-8860 Canada: 877-330-6366 Hours: Monday to Friday, 10am - 6pm Pacific. Can we PLEASE remember to include alt, especially on things as important as this?

Received an insert to make smoking in my kettle grill easier, and it turned out to be sunny and warm(ish) today. The insert (a Slow-N-Sear original) worked great! I'm going to spend the winter reading up on BBQ pork rib techniques for when it warms up again. Happy New Year, everyone! #cooking #BBQ

I made udon noodles from scratch for the first time today! #cooking Recipe I used is from here: www.justonecookbook.com/udon-noodles/

There are 190 people waiting for the next Rebecca Yarros book on our Overdrive. That means, with a holds ratio of 7:1 we need to buy 27 copies. At $60/copy. That's $1620 for 27 copies of 1 book. That is fucking ridiculous and I would like to buy 0 copies. I'm contemplating it.

I'm done. I just have to make the ZIPs and upload them. Backers will have PILES to dig through soon. 8D The #PoseREf TREATS I will have to SHARE WITH YOU. omg 😍✨

reminder that referenceangle.com exists.

I’m seeing a lot of “if your mask works why do I need one” and want to tackle the reason one way masking isn’t enough. I’m immunocompromised and wear a fitted N99 anytime I leave the house. It’s excellent personal protection. I still wish more people would mask 🧵

The best thing you can do for an author is to request their book from your library. The library will usually get it for you! The author will get an immediate sale, and libraries will know there is a demand for their future books! Just google your library name plus "book request" or walk in and ask

Beautiful morning! 🌹

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, stickers, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, wrist braces, compression socks, hoodies, compression leggings & more! Store details below!

I don’t crab race professionally. It’s more of a side hustle

Christmas is a good time to throw Wikipedia a few bucks to thank them for the many times you relied on the site that year. Members of the billionaire class want to destroy it for some reason. (@archive.org is also under constant threat nowadays and in need of support)

Perfectly timed capture ….amazing colours ✨❄️✨🤍✨❄️✨

Have you ever heard of the Library of Congress National Jukebox? It makes historical sound recordings available to the public free of charge. in 2025 the LoC will make all of the 1924 recordings in its collection available for download. 📚 📜

Hey Folks! Bluesky has a "Hide for Me" option on each post, so reblog yourself as often as you like! Anyone can simply opt not to see it anymore if they feel they are seeing it too much! Meanwhile you can make sure new eyes get on it :)

It's finally done! 🤍✨ I've tagged and archived ALL 670+ of our free pose references! These are the references you see me post to socials, including our Pinterest. This library will be updated each pack launch, and more filters will be added. It's just a little library for now, but she'll grow.
