Anyone feel like asking these people why they blocked me? I don't get it. I have pretty middle of the road common sense contributions and reposts.

It's #WorldSnakeDay! I'm sharing my marker drawing of a rainbow boa that I did for Chinese New Year this year. 🐍 #SciArt #AnimalArt #FineArt #Copic #Illustration
Detailed marker illustration of a rainbow boa portrait. The snake's head is shown over a loop of its body, with a dark blue to black background. The snake is burnt orange with black looping patterns, and has rainbow iridescence on its skin.

@0nidania.bsky.social What is the game? Announce your intentions if you have a spine, maybe someone else will agree with you. This trolling stuff is just weird, why join a social network to be anti-social, you can do that by going for hike, a bike ride or a swim.

Amid bird flu fears about egg prices, viral milk and human pandemic risks, there's a piece missing--the impact on wildlife, which I covered for @sciam.bsky.social : 🧪 🪶 www.scientificamerican.com/article/bird...

The Bird Flu Story No One Is Telling
Bird flu fears have focused on the poultry and dairy industries and human health. But wild animals are threatened, too—at scales no one fully understands

If laws on the books of No Duty to Retreat ("Stand your ground") are as legal as any other law, if an individual posing as an ICE officer tries to breach your peace without identifying themselves it is legal to murder them where you stand. This will start happening a lot more I think.
The premise of your right to not have your peace breached means you may use lethal force should you feel threatened. ICE agents may soon find themselves legally shot in the face obscured by their masks.

This Hmong woman in a tiny village in north Vietnam is working a foot-operated spinning machine to weave hemp fibers into multiple spools of yarn. The Hmong make their clothes from hemp and traditionally dye their hemp textiles using natural indigo, resulting in deep blue hues.

If there are over 11 million willing to walk in protest also willing to each convince just two of their friends they know don't ever vote to finally get to the polls, the USA would never again see fascism launched by less than a third of the country. Let's convert "No Kings" to "No Wasted Votes"

Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America. On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million). On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say: Here, we have no kings.

I am starting to think the point of his military parade is not to show leaders of other countries how powerful he is, but rather to stoke fear Americans how he intends to and what he has at his discretion to crush dissent.

*nods enthusiastically* I cannot stress enough that the people whose advice for improving Bluesky is for it to have more political debating on it are out of their fucking minds and not to be listened to under any circumstances. That is NOT how you win over the hearts and minds of young people.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Got to meet an amazing author on her reading tour. For years she travelled as an oral story teller but was finally convinced to publish some of her pieces. If you get a chance to go see Naomi Eliana Pommier Steinberg in person... do it!

If Polievre seriously makes someone who won their election step aside so he can take over their 'easy to win' seat he is a twat. It's his fault the conservatives blew a 30 point lead. If Canada wants a US style cult of personality 2 party system, go ahead... But 'leader above country' is kinda...

I would like to point out that being born Afrikaner is not the same as being pro apartheid any more than being born American is being pro Trump. That country has its a-holes and some may very well be in the group that just arrived, but using their race to judge them is same b.s. we want to stop.
