Watched the latest #ProjectRunway episode tonight. Still think the cliffhanger endings are bullshit. End them the normal way! But I was so glad that Belania won. Her look was beautiful without giving the model heatstroke from the amount of wool on them and it seemed to mean a lot to her to win.

This looks tasty and I can't remember what the pin feed is, so reposting to find it later it is.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Happy Giving Tuesday! We're doing a new thing at Good.Store where you can buy a care package for a person in a domestic violence shelter. We've been working with shelters in Montana for a while and we're super excited about this: good.store/products/car...

*blinks* Wasn't this the same guy who was super happy to tout the success of his NAFTA replacement I can't remember the acronym for? Still, it's not like he's known for his consistency. 🙄

Mary Roach (a fun science writer) has a book called Fuzz about the interaction between animals and humans that I'm reading now. There's 2 chapters on birds (one titled 'The Gulls of St. Peter's: The Vatican Tries A Laser), but I'm not that far in the book yet. I think you'd enjoy her work.

I sincerely appreciate Jon Stewart's opinion of Dick Cheney in his post-debate show tonight.

It is Disability Pride Month - the perfect time to learn about ALT text and start using it! www.perkins.org/resource/how...

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

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.

Alright, I'm randomly proud of the fact that after, IDK, 30-odd years, I built something out of LEGO. Now fingers crossed the cats don't chew on it and it can sit on a shelf for a bit before I decide to disassemble it to build the squirrel or fox. #pleaseclap

A LEGO sculpture of a brown owl with its head turned to the side, resting on a LEGO tree base with a few pine needles stuck haphazardly around on the tree.

Not @catsofyore.bsky.social , but my cats, yesterday. A story in 3 parts (one of which I wasn't fast enough to get the picture for. First was Mutual Love Grooming (which usually makes my Siamese go "Ew, cooties" and leave), then comes

Random complaint (almost) no one will see: Why the FUCK do so many supposedly nonstick pans come with metal rivets on the interior that everything will absolutely stick to? It just makes the coating come off near the rivets faster because you have to scrub there so much.

I don't know why the cats were staring at me, I was just glad that for once the anime I was watching was dubbed so I didn't have to pause it to remove the cat from in front of the tv. Such adorable little dicks sometimes.

For everybody who feels this should be how winter is dealt with, a cute cat pic of one of my cats who sometimes hides in between the layers of quilt I have covering the non-washable moon chair cushion.

Customary Hello World (Which does not know I am here/exist) post before I decide that lurking forever is the best thing to do, because why be social on Social Media?
