Caturday at 93°f/34°c and the bois are taking turns wilting at me in hopes I might do something about things, beyond the fan they're taking turns in. *bleah* it is too hot.

Lise, waltzing in with the First Zucchini of the season: "and it begins!" Time to haul out the necessary Marge Piercy poem, "Attack of the squash people" for annual recitation soon!

Happy Friday morning, Bluesky ☕️ I have taken some more steps toward organizing a 24 Consumer strike in protest of SCOTUS. Please reply yes, aye or whatever your choice of support in the comments, so I can see if this will be viable. Thank you in advance

I MEAN IT

honestly the fact that this decision is handed down *now* is also shouting "We're doing whatever we want because Joe Biden is too chickenshit to use the tool we just put down for Trump. What's he gonna do? Except nothin'." I double dog dare you to be the biggest troll in America, Joe.

@weaverlaura.bsky.social I think you would like this person, @abbaetha.bsky.social same... based on mire than mutually shared Dirothy Dunnett fandom but that *is* or may well be a good start

#dunnettcentral #dunnett Finished N. So let me get this straight: Hero 1 (LC): behaves like a sociopath because he is trying to hide his wounded gooey center. Hero 2 (N): gooey, sweet exterior, may be a sociopath. Why couldn’t I have joined a fun cult with drugs and dancing and feasts?

The thought has merit - far more than the current NYT Editorial Idiots.

Hear me out, what if we gave the New York Times food people control over the editorial section?

The List of goodness at the upcoming Romancing the Vote auction is looking really good!!

I’m not sure there’s anything you can say about a society that wants to protect kids from Anne Frank’s Diary but won’t protect them from guns.

Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus,’ ‘The Fixer’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint - Jewish Telegraphic Agencywww.jta.org The district in the Rio Grande Valley immediately agreed with activists who said the books were "filthy and evil."

It's like how if you ask cishet guys about how they'd stop rapists, it's always an action movie scene with a guy in an alley way, and never telling their buddy "hey, you just literally confessed to rape" or telling a relative they are never allowed back.

Just finished reading: The Saint of Bright Doors, by Vajra Chandrasekera. Loved it - characters, storyline, setting, all resonate from myth to modernity.

This is really making the rounds so let's (again) give credit to the person responsible: ratherbemaking.games/@Javier/1124...

So, #gardensky how do *you* pronounce anise hyssop's fancy dress name, agastache? I've always rhymed it with mustache, but I also hear a-gas-ta-kee and the usual sources are not clarifying 🌿

Personally i think chatGPT could benefit from crippling self-doubt. What do you call imposter syndrome when you are, in fact, an imposter?

GPT-5 will suffer four consecutive years of severe emotional breakdown trying to say something new about Foucault

She's a talented dancer & dance teacher, kicka$$ librarian & nonprofit director, fabulous to share yarn & fabric stash with, AND SHE COOKS! When we were first making eyes at one another, friends sat each of us down to suss things out, we each said "she Cooks". Still laughing about it over dinners

I like this idea, please tell me your favorite things about your partner 💕

A spaceship landed in the park. An alien emerged, holding a slate in a tendril. "Greetings Earthlings," they read. "We have come to learn about this wondrous thing you call l..." They paused, oculating the slate. "Love?" a passing dogwalker suggested. "Libraries! Do they exist?" #microfiction

Leap to get this, it's GOOD!

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

I’m preparing a talk about the somatics of climate hope, and revisiting Liberated to the Bone by Susan Raffo, my former somatic practitioner (a one of a kind healer who probably saved my life.) I want to give a copy of this page to everyone I meet. It’s just…everything.

First of the Black Jack Figs of the season!

Reskeet with how old you are using a vague proxy: I was a young teen at French camp and somebody found a television set and brought it in so we could all see the president resign.

Reskeet with how old you are using a vague proxy: My first Civilization game was played on a non-color laptop and came on floppy disks.

This is a marvelous practice and a splendid name for several of our lives' work, which as your Little observes, is indeed indistiguishable from serious Play

Little (age 3) calls reading “playing books” and honestly I think we should all adopt this.

I have a new word! This practice of sending one another beautiful or amusing photos and quotes, tidbits of joy, has a name. Penguins when they are not just courting but also in making friends, give one another pretty pebbles (nesting materials, as it turns out). So the practice is called "pebbling"
