Near sunset, I approach the shore on my paddle board: I see a family fishing, chatting, and hanging out in the peace and quiet when a massive eagle swoops down between us, golden talons extended to grab a fish from the water, only to fly away empty-clawed. We all gaped. No photo, just a memory.
COVER REVEAL! 🎉 DOWN WHERE MONSTERS DWELL is a dark, historical fairytale steeped in Icelandic folklore, about the powerful bond between mother and daughter, and how quickly fear can lead to violence. The isolated fjords of Iceland await 🗻Coming 3.9.’27🗻 from Tor Nightfire
Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social say that part again about climate action not being economical? "It would have been too expensive for Canadians. Canadians who are already struggling with affordability."

Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · last mo.Oh fascinating! SZA says she got a formal autism diagnosis. This is a huge deal because Black and female #ActuallyAutistic people frequently get overlooked or go undiagnosed. Hopefully this leads to less stigma around who can be autistic. www.complex.com/music/a/alex...

Every time 47 calls it ‘the Iran war’ Rubio twitches and can’t look at the audience.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoQ: The Iran war seems to be a strategic dead end for you. Why are you unable to end it? TRUMP: The Iran war has been a tremendous military success. I think it's a tremendous success, Iran.

In my childhood, monopolies were not allowed. In my lifetime, since 1986, everything has changed. In 40 years we’ve lost almost ALL independent media in Canada. In 12 years, we have seen 80% of Canadian print media bought by USA equity. AT WHAT POINT do we concede this experiment has failed?
It’s a living language and this just made it better.
Fiona Tribe@fionatribe.bsky.social · 3mo agoYes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Saying what needs to be said. This is how we dismantle our biases, disentangle ourselves from WSC, and start making the truest art we can to envision a new way.
Jeanna Kadlec@jeannakadlec.bsky.social · 5mo ago"Part of what makes The Artist’s Way seem “spiritual” and not overtly religious is that in an elegant sleight of hand, Cameron asserts that readers can simply substitute “universe” for where she uses the word God.

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 5mo agoHegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
