Greetings from the Upper Midwest where it feels like -32 outside.

A very merry Solstice to you and yours from me and mine. ♥️
if we’re going to abandon reason, embrace superstition, and regress as a society, we should at least bring back tunics, houppelandes, and elaborate hats. we do not need to look this boring while we’re at it
Lots of really exciting news happening around these parts!! This blew my mind!! I was checking email to see if my daughter’s pediatrician had called in news meds for her strep and I got this email instead!

Fact about me: my number one self-soothing/ADHD productivity hack is to never not have a Ken Burns doc playing (just the audio) in a back tab. I realized this about fourteen years ago, and I have not diverged from this path.
I’ve been thinking about this book so much in the last few weeks. Excellent thread.
I see that we've surpassed international laughingstock and achieved galactic laughingstock.

First post on Bluesky...be gentle. 😀 I'm a photographer, showcasing Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city for more than ten years now via Facebook and other social media platforms. I thought I'd pop over here and say hi and do the same thing - here's an epic sunset over Edinburgh to get us started!
This is my dog’s favorite thing. All three of his humans in one room. The coziest and squishiest lap (mine) to be draped upon.
In one of my previous jobs, I taught The Odyssey five times a day, five days a week, for four years (from Jan to Feb each year). I’ve had a Ralph Fiennes thing since he was Heathcliff (with Juliette Binoche) in the 90’s. So how am I just realizing this was coming?!! youtu.be/N8Ug0R8_o0o?...

My little half-hound dog was very much Team Eponine while I played piano last night. 😂
My taste in music tends towards “gentle sad dad” indie/folk, and yet, I will never not love hearing “Enter Samdman” in a get pumped athletic setting…which I guess doesn’t NOT track with the sad dad of it all. If not apples to oranges, maybe Granny Smiths to Sweet Tangoes?
A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Confession: tonight it took me fifteen minutes to decide what kind of pre-made mayonnaise based salad I wanted to buy at the grocery store (because I wanted all of them, even the ham salad). I opted for this:
