That reminds me of the lovely old book in my library, an edition of Tristan & Isolde, with hand crafted calligraphy & illustrations. It's raining outside. Perhaps I'll go fetch it. I do prefer Sartre's Electra. THE FLIES is a brilliant reinterpretation. yes, healing #nerdstuff

Do Tristan and Isolde live happily ever after? Does Peter Grimes give up fishing and opens a chippy next to the beach instead? Perhaps Elektra unwinds after her vengeance by booking a spa weekend in the South of France? Just keep off TikTok for the spoilers!

The NYT dropped 5 major Senate polls this morning — and they tell you exactly why the GOP is freaking out about the Senate. Alaska: Peltola up 50/43 Texas: Talarico up 51/45 Ohio: Brown up 49/46 Kansas: a 45/45 tie Iowa: Hinson up 48/47.

*vibes* as do I. thus, i strongly suggest folks of a similar sensitivity never ever stay in the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. Or the Algonquin in New York City. I do very poorly driving past Civil War Battlefields. I will never walk them, esp. Gettysburg again. Famous people get possessed, FYI.

I *do not love* lived experience in places that are haunted. Unless one is "called/equipped" to be in that work, please, Normies, use extreme caution. 1. Spiritual Warfare & Demonic Oppression is real. 2. residual energy remains in places where violence & traumatic human experience is absorbed

i am not an expert but a total nerd for things paranormal: science, parapsychology; history, literature, & fiction; 'psychical research society', legends & lore, & inspired voices in the conversation (shout out to @sethanikeem.bsky.social). the scope of #nerdstuff is awesome. I LOVE ghost stories ⤵️

Why The Wigs? @dhlovelife.bsky.social shared her story from the set of 'Steel Magnolias' when she asked Dolly Parton how long it takes for them to do her hair. Dolly laughed & said she had no idea. She just put a wig on. This is the most brilliant workflow automation ever conceived, friends 🌱💖🕊

don't know about you all but i'm not a fan of conditional acceptance into a community when those conditions involve systemic forms of injustice & oppression. considering the current moment as we're living in a country being taken over by billionaire ghouls.

Skype a Scientist @skypeascientist.bsky.social · 15h

We at Skype a Scientist are deeply troubled by the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences. We urge you to contact Drexel University Leadership and Academy interim leader Trish Wellenbach to urge them to reopen the museum. President Merlo president@Drexel.edu Trish Wellenbach tw958@drexel.edu

a block of text with a statement that reads We at Skype a Scientist are deeply alarmed by the decision of Drexel University leadership and the Academy of Natural Sciences Board to close the Academy’s public museum.

Skype a Scientist is based in Philadelphia with deep roots in our city. Making science accessible, in particular for Philly’s children, is a top priority for our organization. We operate in community centers, at street festivals, and at the intersection of science and art. For the last 10 years, we have worked to engage a broader coalition of Philly residents to care for our local biodiversity.

Our program does not exist in a vacuum. The work that we do, alongside environmental education centers, our museums, classroom teachers, and more, create an ecosystem of connections with science. The loss of any part of this fragile ecosystem is detrimental. The Academy of Natural Sciences grounds biodiversity education in Philadelphia. With grand fossil halls, historical connections, and engaging exhibits, it is a place where many Philadelphians develop a love of science. Loss of access to this space cannot be tolerated.

We are living through an erosion of public education, particularly in the life sciences. Philadelphia cannot afford to lose our flagship biodiversity museum.

We call on the leaders of Drexel University and the Academy board to reverse their decision to close the Academy’s public museum. The children of Philadelphia and future generations of Philly-made scientists are counting on you.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

it seems like it has always been that way. do we blame the 295 😂

Yes, there some people who battle the insanity of the #DC #Traffic using techniques to calm the Vagas nerve. Vocalizing is one & has a range of diverse methods.

genuinely, sincerely, emphatically, this is lived experience as a person who is living today in the unites states uh mur'ka. VA/MD Beltways around DC are a special kind of traffic hell. & that section of 495 is brutal. AMF BRUTAL. #iykyk So ppl have different tools to manage stress. There are

In which we hear a person alive in the USA in this moment, going through rush hour traffic on the #DCBeltway, & suddenly is surprised by what's landing at AFB. What follows may be prophetic. Note: audio recorded is paired w/ a video. summer storm in a garden & large front yard in a rain deluge.

since this is a direct assault to #nerdstuff deeply meaningful to fellow nerds for Edith Hamilton, Greek Mythology, the works of Aeschylus, and now, Percy Bysshe Shelley. Elon Musk is a little bitch baby. The subversion & negation of meaning in our shared cultural understanding IS ON PURPOSE. Gross

🎉 Gidgetwidget @gidgetwidget.bsky.social · 12h

no. omfg. this is sacrilege for a nerd like me. cuz I admit having a deep relationship with Prometheus thanks to Edith Hamilton & Aeschylus. And now the travesty deepens. Percy Bysshe Shelley has entered the chat. *explodes into murder of crows*

brrrrruuuhhhhhhh, how the actual hell is this the Prometheus from Greek Mythology; the Prometheus from Aeschylus, "Prometheus Bound"; & when in the actual fuck did they ever engage in the works of Percy Bysshe Shelley to read "Prometheus Unbound" EDUCATION, THE HUMANITIES, are everything!

You don't respect St. Dolly!?!?

I was just wondering whether we need to talk about my Canon Matron Saint, Dolly Parton, Brewt. By the power of the Holy Spirit in the world, sent by Immanuel, St. Dolly also intercedes for orange #iggyboos & #Pickles & Cole Slaw (with #picklejuice) as well as women like me. WHO ARE NUNS, BREWT. 😂

virtual hugs are most welcome & i am most grateful. improvement is one thing I hope for and your hope for that too is most appreciated. thank you 🌱💖🕊

Thank you, friend! More hugs are most welcome.

Well, how 'bout them apples, Cap'n! I appreciate the invite. must admit, that sounds divine 🌱💖🕊

i appreciate that. maybe I do need to do a mutual aid request for an appropriate airstream to hitch to the back of the CRV? what are your thoughts?

BARBARIC. Watch that scene in "The Green Mile" again if you're not deeply horrified. Justice exists in this country? No one responsible will be held to account or be brought to justice. & when there is no justice or mercy & only sadistic torture by weaponized incompetence? yup, no justice exists
