My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

Two years ago today was one of the most thrilling moments of my life when I captured this sunrise eruption of Guatemala's Volcán de Fuego. My drone was much closer than I realized, and the eruption was the largest I saw in my two days up there. I may never again film something as remarkable as this:

We love how easy it is to add alt text on Bluesky, but there are still a lot of account sharing images who don't use it as standard. Alternative text helps anyone using assistive technology to understand what is in the image, even if they can't see it, making the post more inclusive. 1/

In 1970, John Boorman of Zardoz fame wrote a film treatment of LotR. It is a STINKER of a film, although there are some legitimately interesting ideas tucked into it. I read it so you won't have to! A🧵 of the best and worst pieces of John Boorman's LORD OF THE RINGS SCREENPLAY.

"Not like this." You've read that, seen it, heard it, in your favorite media and elsewhere. It's often a sound of defeat. Of resigned acceptance. Of knowing the horrors are going to win. "I knew it would happen," it goes, "but not like this."

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

What a brilliant scale model to paint! Made by Georgi Stamov. If you don't know what this scene depicts and if you don't know what kind of graffiti you should write on that wall, you need to do some comedy education homework ;)

A little reminder that my sci-fi book, Weird Field World, is available as a digital download. It's 80+ pages of spaceships and world building. And I'm very proud of it. Book 2 is, still, in the works. thisnorthernboy.gumroad.com/l/wfwbook?la... #SciFi #Books

Apparently Los Alamos made a little physical scale model of the Louis Slotin "demon core" accident at some point? It gives off real Playmobil play-set vibes. Every kid should have one, really.
