Hey @wiswell.bsky.social my 14yo son and I just finished reading The Dragon Has Some Complaints together and we really loved it. My son has a question that he would be thrilled if you answered- When Garrodigh still had 4 heads, was Centerhead Righthead?

After nearly three years, I'm finally done knitting my first Fair Isle sweater! Now all I have to do is finish steeking, block, sew together, weave in ends... 🧶 #knitsky

A weak fist bump to my fellow tired bisexuals out there. Fun fact! I opened one of my mother's diaries at random last year and discovered she was bisexual (and then promptly closed it before I read about my parents' sex life). So I'm a ~multigenerational~ tired bisexual.

First panel: a calendar on the wall reads "May 31." A tired-looking woman says "I'm tired."
Second panel: the calendar now reads "June 1." The woman is wearing a bisexual pride shirt and says "I'm tired and ~bisexual~"

You know what day it is? We almost forgot. Yes it’s your annual reminder that Yoda was infact a medieval monk. (Smithfield Decretals at the British Library). #maythe4thbewithyou #starwarsday

We are looking at a section of a medieval document with a grey creature with big ears and claw like hands that looks a lot like yoda. They are wearing a red brown cassock.

Eeeee! Seal pup season! Although the thing that amuses me about this video is the mother seal, napping on her side so her pup can get a drink without her having wake up, which reminds me a great deal of some of the longer nights of my breastfeeding career.

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

I just got what feels like a gold medal in Making Phonecalls - calls to both my drs office AND the giant evil corporation that manages my prescription benefit. Is everything solved? No, of course not! This is CVS we're talking about! But at least I got a little personal growth in there.

I've been wondering if Gotham City villains won't have to turn to a life of crime now that lab-grown gems are an option. Why steal a ridiculously large rare gem on display for one night at the local museum with highly elaborate yet very flawed security to power your eye-melting ray /1

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

This good girl is going to service dog training soon, where we are trying to teach her not to climb stairs like Teddy Roosevelt charging up San Juan Hill. I took her to work yesterday to practice and she went up without treat bribery (stairs are v. suspicious), but she still had to Chaaargge!

Update! I actually DID put the knitting aside instead of staying up way too late fixing it, and my eye only persistently twitched a bit until I fixed it this evening. This feels like some sort of personal growth. Instead, I stayed up way too late finishing a crossword puzzle. Baby steps.
