A gorgeous 22° halo around the sun today over Southwest Mountain vineyard in Virginia. Ice crystals bend and diffract the light, creating the colors, similar to a rainbow.

The sun is a white blob with a partial circle of red and blue around it. In the foreground are trees, grass, and grape vines.

In her statement on the ICE shooting in New York, AOC specifically calls out Target. The congresswoman demands that the mega-corporation stop allowing ICE to stage paramilitary raids from its parking lots. migrantinsider.com/p/aoc-to-tar...

breaks my heart when people respond to zine scams with long threads of "advice" boiling down to 1) don't make zines and 2) if you do, professionalize. genuinely think my advice would be the complete opposite. go smaller, go shittier, go more diy, and all of that will keep it manageable.

This is wild - somebody did a deep dive into the real stories behind this famous XKCD: sheets.works/data-viz/hol...

an XKCD comic showing a precariously assembled tower of blocks. much is labelled "all modern digital infrastructure." a thin leg down at the bottom is labelled "A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003."

i am more convinced now than ever that engaging with large language models is an inherent cognitohazard, especially if you already have schizoid tendencies. the difference between what these machines say they're doing and what they're actually doing is simply too vast, their flattery too seductive

Chiricahua's hallmark is its balanced rocks--loads of them. They are nature's artistry, eroded by wind and water. Chiricahua National Monument (soon Chiricahua National Park) #nationalparks #geology #Arizona #nature

A large rock balances on a smaller pedestal in front of a cloudy sky.

I keep getting stunned at how there is absolutely no discussion of the LGBT factor in these cut offs. It's just absent from any of the pieces on how kids cannot server contact because it's super mean. Unless somehow the teen LGBT homelessness widespread issue lies somehow magically unrelated (no).

Smooth Grace (I drew this in 2.5 hours, don't judge my scribbled art haha) Because every time I draw Grace, I draw his scruff in last, and it always looks wrong without it. #projecthailmary #phm #rylandgrace #rockyphm #art #comic

🍳 A project hail mary fan comic.

Ryland Grace greets Rocky at the door to his house on Erid.

Grace: Mornin', Rockstar.

Rocky: Good Morning, Gr-- ?! -- Grace face!

Grace: Oh yeah!

We see Grace from front view, rubbing his clean shaven chin.

Grace: one of the biodome team said they thought I might look--uh--sound better if I shaved off all the old scruff. And I thought, what the heck. Let's try something new. So what do you think, Rock? How's the new Smooth Grace sound?

Rocky is silent, observing Grace thoughtfully.

Grace (off screen): ....Rocky?

Rocky's claws twitch, then he reaches out.

Rocky: Grace... come close.

Grace is a little confused.

Grace: Okay...

He kneels down.

Grace: This good?

Rocky reaches over to touch Grace's face.

Rocky: Yes. Good, good, good.

Rocky is caressing Grace's face, and Grace is smiling a little.

Grace: ...Rocky...

Rocky squishes Grace's cheeks hard, holding his face tight and knocking his glasses slightly askew. Grace is not amused.

Rocky: How long it take to grow back, question.

Grace: Darn it, Rocky.

Rocky: Do not like Smooth Grace. Grow back scruff and keep. Grace not do this ever again.

Grace: Jeez, pal, you don't have to beg.

Rocky: Is not beg. Is COMMAND.

Grace: Oh C'mon, it's not THAT bad.

Rocky: Tell Rocky who said smooth Grace would sound better. Rocky will correct them.

Grace: I get it, I get it, I'm ugly.

Rocky: Grace always beautiful. Just little less beautiful now.

Grace: Aw, bud!

If you've never seen the 1972 documentary about Marjoe, now would be a good time to hunt it down. Stage-parented into being a bread-winning "preacher" for tent revivals at 4 years old and now a nonbeliever, he spent his young adulthood cynically exploiting that education exclusively for the money.

ive said it before but i think “u dont have to be trans to transition” is so much more helpful than “u dont have to transition to be trans” bc it prioritizes agency and self actualization over ruminating on identity indefinitely
