Not to downplay the beauty of nature on its merits, but I do think the wood in the foreground looks like an anthropomorphized rabbit playing a guitar #MaynardMA

This video is funnier without context, but it is worth noting that Myra is vibing here despite a scary thunderstorm outside. (Song is "Smile Jamaica" by Chronixx.) #dogs #reggae

.... Sciatica?
Screencap of an article from Axios: " The s-word rippling through Wall Street and Main Street."  The accompanying image is Uncle Sam with his hand on his lower back with a radiating pain glow, for some reason, even though the s-word turns out to be "stagflation."

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid.
Frame from the 90s X-Men cartoon.  Storm, in civvies, looks with surprise at a card in her hand.  Gambit and Jubilee, both in costume and with no discernable expression, look at Storm.  All three are wearing pink.

Weirdly, the secret turns out to be maintaining appropriate facial expressions (eg, amused, sympathetic) while looking two feet to the left of whoever's talking

Another delight: I'm watching Marvel's Loki for the first time and was surprised to see this in the closing credits. I'll tell you what-- if my name were Tommy Turtle, I would be fucking unstoppable

The Cryptid. #MaynardMA #treeportraits
pic of a local woodsy wetland; in the foreground is a tree where the leaf-covered ground has sunk far below the tree's surface roots, giving it a kind of squid look. Also visible: some plastic and rusted metal debris, thick (maybe tentacle-looking) asiatic bittersweet vines, a pink "wetland" ribbon, a still-icy vernal pool.

My brother-in-law works in a used book store and someone just brought this in. I like to imagine Draco Malfoy was ensnared creeping into someone's dream for dark magic purposes, but that person's mom sold him with a bunch of other junk, and now Malfoy just has to live captive at this bookstore.

On Thursday I saw maybe the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen, & it only filled me with grimness-- that's the depression-- but I still took lots of pics bc I knew my love would come back to me, & that's the wisdom. In the words of Gary Wright, my soul's like a wheel that's turnin. #MaynardMA

@lukeburbank.bsky.social, thank you for bringing this into my life (with Ep 4409 of "Too Beautiful To Live"). The world seems deeply unappealing at present, but it is also a menagerie of weirdnesses
