When the weather gets hot, please take special care for the goths in your life. With their floor-length coats, platform shoes, and velvet capes, it’s hard for them to thermoregulate as we do.

Jane Austen First Drafts @austen1stdrafts.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

Just read Moby Dick for the first time. I wish I could draw some parallels between what’s happening today and a megalomaniacal captain, who ignores pleas for common sense, only to chase after something that isn’t a problem, and leads everyone to disaster. I’ll think on it some more.

This eastern dobsonfly came to visit. Despite the intimidating mandibles, they are quite harmless. This one was about five inches long and seemed as curious about me as I was about him. #fridaythe13th #nature #friendshipgoals
