Fair play to Danny León, the Spanish Olympic skateboarder. This shot may never be eclipsed.

Nattering about the south-node eclipse in Leo, plus some slice-of-life business. #WitchSky #PaganSky #Astrology

New Moon – Thunder Moon / Hazel Moon Begins (Solar Eclipse in Leo)

Whelp. It's Eclipse Season. In part due to said south-node eclipse - during which (apparently) anyone with sense is just being chill and letting The Energy do its thing - I held off doing my Glammas rituals so that I could work with ye olde astrological weather whilst not having to pack everything all into one day. Glammas will get its own write-up though so, this is going to be a post about Life with a side of astrology.

Checking in before dawn for a few hours. To see what's up. I wrote a tragic rebellion book about a lesbian who is very horny! So I screamed when I saw this because yes 100! Hahaha. I don't think they would coopt my book that doesn't go with their image. And I'm proud of that. Good.😂✊🏽

If you’re living with tricky mental health, chronic illness,not good thought pathways caused by others’ behaviour, a trickily wired brain,you’re worried about climate change or you’re just feeling shite today, then hi, me too. This photo’s for your brain-a miniature posy from my garden in a thimble:

OOH speaking of the Tyrrell Museum @asherelbein.bsky.social you KNOW I immediately thought of you when I read about this draconic looking guy being found in the depths of a mine in Fort McMurray 👀👀👀👀👀

Luminous basket potato. 🧺 Postcard from my collection, no date/info.

So I have a tonne of ground cherries growing in my yard. (The squirrels get them, I generally miss out, but wevs). I can smell their tomato-y leaves on the breeze coming in through the window right now, and it's LOVELY.

I know it probably goes without saying if you're in Ottawa and follow me but: vote for the guy who bikes & busses to work, Ottawa. Please.

It's me@justmeinottawa.bsky.social · 6d ago

Does Mark know he could do this for the photo op even just as cosplay to care? He can’t even bring himself to do it, cuz transit is for plebs, suckers and poor people or something Mandani uses transit as a mayor, and yet #ottawa pays for a private car and driver for our overlord

Power through? No bitch, I power down. Beep boop this unit is now in sleep mode go away

I showed my partner the Honey Badger Don't Care video. She had somehow never seen it and my takeaway from watching it again is that this video is over 3 MINUTES LONG! It takes the time to create comic rhythms and callbacks. There's tension, teases, the subversion of expectations. We've lost so much!

I can't watch the forests where I grew up burn to the ground, and not feel some kind of way about building new pipelines. But the second my environmentalist friend taught me that oil and gas represents only 5% of Canada's GDP, I have not known peace.

Tzeporah Berman@tzeporah.bsky.social · last wk.

Canada is being asked to make a $40B bet on the past. We’re told another oil pipeline will bring national unity, economic security & prosperity. We’ve heard this before. You don’t prepare a country for the future by betting billions on the past www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Y'aaall... We've gotten some amazing submissions so far! We're still open until August 15th, so send your #shortstory, #flashfiction, #poetry, #pedagogy, #bookreview, and #CNF our way! #writesky #booksky Link: www.aftermidnightlitmag.com

The article should mention that none of this would have been possible without support of Laborers’ International Union of North America Minnesota & North Dakota, which supported the project and ensured it was built by union workers. Learn more about this here awf.labortools.com/listen/minne...

Minnesota’s largest solar plant will be built with 100% union labor

The AWF Union Podcast is the nation’s premier daily labor program. Kevin Pranis of LiUNA Minnesota and North Dakota joined us on today’s show.

Whoa 🤯 in Slow-Mo@0lsi.bsky.social · last wk.

Minnesota just plugged a 710-megawatt #solar farm into a coal plant that once burned 30,000 tons a day. The unique approach to connecting the panels to the grid allowed it to sidestep a typically years-long connection process.

This is needed today, y'all. Share!

A lot can change in five days - we could go from "magazine not happening in 2027" to "Yeah baby Uncanny is happening! Open the submission period!" It all depends on you, Space Unicorns. (Also there's still a bunch of good rewards left to snag, and I seriously can't believe they are left.)

Uncanny Magazine@uncannymagazine.bsky.social · 7d ago

Space Unicorns! We are now just $4426 away from FULLY FUNDING with only 5 days to go!!!! If you think there should be another year of Uncanny Magazine, please help us get there before we run out of time! 🦄😊

Yet, even when we don't ask for it, even when we insist against it, joy always finds us again.

The oldest smile in the world! The @rmoudheden.bsky.social Mesolithic Willemstad figurine c. 5300 BCE. Crafted from oak, this small figurine has a body that served as a grip. It may have been used in shamanistic rituals but could also be a toy. On display @landesmuseumhalle.bsky.social #FindsFriday

Join us for the launch of The Politics of Lonely: Why Is Friendship So Hard?, and a conversation about friendship and community-building! Come by Saturday October 24, 5-7pm for a conversation with Lee of @sheerspite.bsky.social, Adrienne Row-Smith, and @alexisshotwell.bsky.social

What a photo! A female Amur tiger is released into the wild in Kazakhstan.

Seeing all sorts of references to Weird Girl Lit these days, so now’s my chance to beg everyone to take an hour to read Christina Rossetti’s 1962 poem, “Goblin Market.” You are simply not prepared for how crazy it goes.
