Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist@nameshiv.bsky.social · yesterdayOK I have to go work now but I shall leave you with this video of the greatest Alpine yodeller alive (who happens to be Japanese) doing his thing with some chickens in the most iconic video you have ever seen www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppm5...
Reminiscent of the postdoc recruiting session ("seminar") from a Saudi university at my grad program. They tried to tell the women (no acknowledgement of queer folks) that "as long as you don't leave the compound it's just like being in the US!" 🤨

In an incident I absolutely do not recall happening a few weeks ago, one of our very young guests apparently hit Jeremy with a hula hoop, so his grandma said they had to go home. Today he and his brother sent apology cards and a dollar for Jeremy to buy snacks.
Excellent outing to the Arnold Arboretum. The toddler did sit in the stream while fully clothed but we had a spare outfit packed
Registered nurse, waitress, electrician, purchasing agent. Though if I take 100 years literally (1926), they were children
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · last wk.Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

Senator Ed Markey@markey.senate.gov · 2w agoThe Trump administration is turning the clock back on school civil rights to the 1960s: cutting staff, gutting the Department of Education, and eliminating tools that protect our kids from harm. All students deserve to live up to their potential with a school system that supports that.
Yes, we did take in a severely neglected sulcata tortoise who needs some help, or as I like to call it “TORT REFORM”
Only name-drop is picric acid, no other detail beyond "radioactive substances." I do wonder if this was anyone I know… #chemsky 🧪

Happy Caturday! The kitty with the ball on her head has mellowed a LOT now that she's in her teens
I just bought a (used) rigid heddle loom. What could possibly go wrong?
Comrades with wildfire smoke: Really do wear respiratory protection, that shit isn't just bad in the moment, it has serious long-term health implications and not just for your lungs! If you don't have an air purifier really do try to get one, if possible, and REMEMBER TO CLEAN AND CHANGE FILTERS.
Mysteriously orange in Boston; yup, wildfires to the northeast again

Jer Thorp@jerthorp.bsky.social · 3w agoComing as a surprise to absolutely no one, the New Zealand Fantail trounced its opponent to become the last bird in the #WorldCupOfBirds semifinal. This is it. One of these four will be the world champion of "ordinary" birds. Guillemot. Fantail. Chickadee. Grackle.

May have found good car mechanic? At least they were kind and straightforward about "this needs to be done NOW" vs. "try to do this before winter". Appreciated, especially given this car would be old enough to drink if it was human
