I run a little Patreon and Ko-Fi where I make designs for people to stitch little plushies and charms in their embroidery machines, and August's design is Mothman and I am having to explain Mothman's butt to non-Americans.

The Humble Spud Cafe is Open in Mount Holly - South Jersey Food Scene
Ahhh, the humble spud. The terrific tuber. Who doesn’t love potatoes? (That’s a rhetorical question because if you say you don’t, you’ll probably break Chef Desmond Keefe’s heart.) For years, Keefe ha...

*Everyone*, grocery store checker down to each family member, has done such a double take at this.

If your mothman has well-defined abs he's probably dehydrated, get him some nectar right away.
*Really* curious about whether the @inquirer.com has a choice about what photos to run with Post articles. Because *someone* made a choice here and I really hope it wasn't local.
Oh huh, biskyweb has expanded the Trending descriptors. But isn't (yet?) using #5 to say "no seriously he's talking about adding sports, not Nazis."
Got out the moth-moth to see how the wings work on the chibi mothman and somehow I am making another moth?
Every time I see a mutual accidentally repost seemingly innocuous ai onto the skyline I have to decide if I want to be this person 😭
Preeti Chhibber@runwithskizzers.bsky.social · 5mo agoan updated debbie downer sketch but it's friends showing her funny videos and she has to respond like this to every single one like this:
"It feels like somebody put a spear through my chest, but not in a mean way." Me: A kind... spear?
New-to-me ER has one thing going for it: the metal detector picks up my knees (usually that takes a wand). This is the one that put them in, and I've been disappointed that they promised I'd set off detectors and mostly haven't.
One assumes they'll also end up in his crosshairs if they don't pay for access.

It has become time to get a formal zine holder in the LFL. (Also @lingthusiasm.com , one of the zines has stray page indicators left in)
Important personal update: I will now be referring to my place of residence as Auster Caesarea. (I also have to poke through my moth night in the Pine Barrens pictures because I think we saw false asphodels?)

Spouse just tried to help by changing the air purifier filter up here but (1) turns out removing the cover on a Blue Air puts ALLLLLLL the prefilter's dust into the air (note to self: vacuum that thing once in awhile) and (2) I ordered the wrong replacement. AQI upstairs is now, uh, bad.
This is what I keep coming back to too: if there's credible evidence then there's also some CIA project going "we're working this, quit blowing up our spot!"
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 5d agoThe thing I can't really figure out about Lab Leak Theory is like... so what if it were true? Like is the idea that we could sue China for damages? That's not gonna work. It wouldn't really change anything both to how we responded to Covid and how we act going forward.
I help out with an open-source project, which recently had to establish a "no AI contributions whatsoever" policy because the maintainers have been deluged with "here is a PR I had the slop machine produce, it has 147 different tiny changes, please review it" and there is simply no time for that.
(This is the old sewing machine equivalent of someone asking you if you want a Miata they've kept garaged for 30 years with the original dealer paperwork in the glovebox)
More things in life could use a get-along barrier.
Rebecca | Palaeoplushies @palaeoplushies.com · 6d agoI'm very lucky to have been able to achieve my dream aquarium - 240litres to replace my two smaller tanks. I've gradually been breaking down my two tanks and transferred everything to this set-up. I currently have a get-along barrier up to stop my two Bristlenose groups fighting!

When the wildfire smoke was covering the east coast we had to postpone a moth night, and not everybody can make the smoke date so we have some spots open up for this weekend in the Pine Barrens. It's our last moth night I have planned for 2026. Join us? luma.com/oifmc4iy
