Do we all feel that eternal fear of misappropriating breath? To get to day's end and be nothing, but one day closer to death.

Reading articles makes it very clear that some people think the phrase "in good faith" means "beneficial specifically to me".

📷 Sunrise from yesterday, with Mt Rainier on display.

Orange sun split by horizontal threads of darker clouds fills the space between black silhouettes of branches, with a large mountain shadowed on the horizon.

So in other news I accidentally busted the coolant line on our air conditioner the other day, but I found a cheap one that was a similar size so I could swap them out in an afternoon.

I don't even correct people on pronunciations anymore; I'll pronounce it the standard way around them so that's there if they want to replicate it, but usually that's all.

Let me introduce the crew. *points to enormous muscular guy.* This is Big Dog, we call him that because he's huge, ha ha! *points to slim average looking guy* and this is Medium Dog. I'm sure you can guess why! That's right — he communes with the spirits of the departed

What do you mean? Without Shark Week, I never would've learned that sharks are capable of self-propelled flight if they close their eyes and focus really REALLY hard! And also that they have X-ray vision! And thumbs!

Recently went back home to the Prairies for a family reunion - and it was great! Stayed with family, excellent, but my post-op uncle with Parkinson's literally does nothing but watch AI vids on YouTube. AI history. AI cozy jazz vibes. Seaside town cozy AI fucking I don't even know.

Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

It’s the 88th anniversary today of this immensely enjoyable headline 🧵

12 boys rout fascists
Twelve boys, some of them less than 10 years old, went to Weymouth beach and barracked Mr Robert Saunders, a Fascist speaker.
He ignored them, so they went away and returned with toffee tins half filled with stones.
Using the tins as rattles, they made so much noise that Mr Arthur England, a 63-year-old Weymouth magistrate and superintendent of the beach, approached to stop them.
A crowd of holiday-makers, sympathising with the children, booed Mr England and a sock filled with sand caught him behind the ear.
In the sand battle that followed, the Fascists were pelted off the beach.
About 5,000 people followed them to their car, overturned the trailer attached it, and filled the loud speaker equipment with sand.

it really is all the same fight at the end of the day because as much as sport bans are about barring trans people from public life, so too are they about denying the bodily autonomy inherent to someone training. "it's illegal for you to throw a ball around with your friends". No it isn't. Fuck you.

If my artist keeps turning out stuff like this I may not survive to see final publication. Seriously. I know Bluesky is gonna compress the hell out of this but just imagine the detail that's there past the compression XD

A crisp lineart drawing of a Faekyn woman getting out of a carriage; she has a flat, slitted nose and curly hair, and is wearing a smug expression, and her wings are currently folded behind herself and hidden. She's wearing luxurious robes trimmed with fur. Her carriage is pulled by Griffins, which look back with disdain from the left side of the picture. A gathered crowd of humans watches with a mixture of intrigue, distaste, anger, and suspicion, including AL, the POV character of the book, wearing dirty coveralls and a thick wool shirt from their work in the boiler room. In the background, arches and walls and buildings of the city can be seen.

Partial detail from an inline illustration for Flight of the Fates, book one, Fight or Flight, by me, Jared Goring. Art by AngryRob.

The question is: on my deathbed, will I wish I had spent another hour - or ten - on the hustle and grind? ...or sitting beside another's, their hand in mine shaking, would I give anything for one more minute with them? To me, the answer is pretty clear.

Okay it's kinda sloppily edited but I ended up with nearly an hour of footage so I'll probably put some more clips together and up, in time. Motorcycle riding! Enjoy the roads!

Thought: Social Media is a modern form of pillorying. You trot out your screenshot or quote post, slap it in the stocks, and invite the audience to throw their rotten fruit and veg (insults), and I'm unsure of whether this is more an indictment of Social Media or a defence of pillorying…

There's a lot of talk about resilient engineering, but these things get bolted into the ground for DECADES and I've never seen one below 75% battery.

A picture of a square metal floor grate, screwed (not bolted) into the floor. The makers mark at the top is a wide rectangle with diagonal lines, with most of the line sections filled in - but not the last one - making it look like certain battery indicators at not-quite-full charge.

Okay I don't want to get too political in the early morning, but this guy was supposed to be: A) A hard wall against Trump, and; B) Good for the economy. That was his whole promise. All of it. Now the economy is worsening and he's lauding Trump's Iran deal as a "game changer". Ugh.
