Lusus Naturae @7lusus4.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Ya know, for decades I haven’t really liked Converse — poorly designed shoes with no support or cushion, tongues and heels tearing apart… They’d been going on fashion and being “iconic” for ages. This… has not encouraged me to consider a new pair. 030
Lusus Naturae @7lusus4.bsky.social · 18/09/2026A read for the citizens of Portland, for those keeping score and probably everyone else too. Green’s Tweets *6 years ago* should not be used against him this viciously; that he was making posts against the police violence was entirely valid and even if toned down are STILL valid. I support him.portlandmercury.comKnee-Jerk Reactions to Councilor Green’s Tweets Are Hypocritical and Dangerous - Portland MercuryThe police are supposed to keep protesters safe as they exercise their rights to free speech—not retaliate by shooting them with rubber bullets, striking them with batons, or spraying tear gas at more... 011

Didn’t take pictures of them because the rocks don’t move as much so it’s easier to focus an iPhone). 061

Lusus Naturae @7lusus4.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Looks like, by my uneducated inexperienced assessment, we’re looking at about 1/10 of serious political posts, 2/10 of everything else, and the remaining 7/10 posts about Dolly. Of those 3/10, posts are either bots, people that haven’t heard yet, or posts from about a day ago or earlier. 100

Lusus Naturae @7lusus4.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Portland* people! Does anyone know where to find an apparently difficult to find foodstuff called canned sprats?

Lusus Naturae @7lusus4.bsky.social · 22/06/2026It’s sad that I check Bluesky every 15-30 minutes not to see interesting things, new pictures, funny cats, even my own Likes.
