This appreciation thread about The Wheel of Time is just excellent. For someone with aphantasia (like me!), the artistry of costuming, hair, architecture, and scenery in a visual medium can add a whole new layer that is amazing.

The guy from Reacher has a decades old feud with Matt Gaetz ahahahahahahahahahahaa Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It's been a lot today - have a bonus Memphis.

this is so good

Cannot say enough good things about these birds.

So, you've realized your ableist takes on drug users (current or former) are bad but don't know where to even start learning? May I recommend @crackdownpod.bsky.social ? Start with the current episode or start at the beginning or jump in anywhere that seems interesting.

Literally the ONLY thing that could be salvaged from a house fire was this Christmas Cactus. It's been six months now and LOOK AT ITS GROWTH! My plan is to repot it in the Spring with uncontaminated soil and much better drainage.

So many people have The Crud (influenza A, RSV, Strep, Covid, or more than 1!) that we have had to close schools for multiple days. I, recovering from crud, called into a pizza place and realized they are slammed because it's a holiday weekend and school vacation week in the neighboring states. 🤦‍♀️

If @theauthorguy.bsky.social doesn't mind, Nigoth.

If you are *paid* to post there is no excuse for not using alt text. If you are *paid* to post *for a federal elected official* you should *absolutely* know better.

Anyone else with EDS occasionally get subcutaneous crepitation with particularly violent coughing? Because it's always a bit of a surprise but the ouchy is far surpassed by the fun crackles. #EDS #NEISVoid

This program works! Even though it is Winter, local farmers produce microgreens, mushrooms and storage crops like potatoes, onions, apples. Check on your market match program that provides 1 to 1 matching on fruits and vegetables so SNAP dollars go farther. fairfoodnetwork.org/what-we-do/n...

There are no words to describe my rage at the federal government for taking money out of the mouths of poor families AND farmers by messing with the NH Market Match program. @ethandewitt.bsky.social Source: www.facebook.com/100063490933...

Adding to this - pilots have a saying - three things are useless in an emergency: - The runway behind you. - The sky above you. - The fuel on the ground. It reminds you to focus on and use what you have and what you can control rather than get hung up with "if only..."

Whenever asked to defend federal funding for scientific research, I point to NASA's microalgae project that failed in its intended purpose but succeeded in making key ingredients for baby formula - DHA & ARA. 🧪 spinoff.nasa.gov/spinoff1996/...

I see this and I feel it in my bones. But there are some folks out there who are more insulated from possible repercussions (like me). I'm white, large, autistic, and unable to work due to my sleep disorder. I can sleep anywhere (snoring!) or I can talk about of my special interests. Send me!

Screams in New Hampshire, home to Dartmouth Medical School.

Many have asked how it could cost $17.5 million to confine just over 100 unhoused people to a warehouse for 90 days. The answer? The company running the facility got a no-bid contract and has political ties to Louisiana governor Jeff Landry—who invoked emergency powers to detain these men and women

NOAA Matters! A material factor in the sinking of the SS El Faro was that the Captain insisted on getting his weather info from BVS rather than NOAA - the data was routinely 6+ hours old. Instead of steering around the complex path of Hurricane Joaquin, he steered into the path.

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

If you have a medical device that you no longer need, there is a place somewhere that you can donate it and it will then be given to someone else who can use it. And, in the reverse - check there before you buy one! It's a great way to share things like knee scooters, IV poles, kid walkers, etc.

Do I know anyone out here with knowledge of more recent covid strains who can advise on a getting back to normal schedule? Trying to figure out when I can start gardening or prep cooking or other household chores, more than figuring out when I can start exercise again.

Get everyone you care about on Signal. Do not hesitate. This is deadly serious.
