I have some international business travel coming up & am trying to figure out my vaccine strategy.

Easily one of the most spectacular natural events I’ve ever seen: an endless river of Sooty Shearwaters along the Washington coast. These ocean-dwelling birds migrate 40,000 miles each year, foraging in massive flocks. This went nonstop for at least an hour. Best estimate is 100,000 birds.
the year is 2027. gas costs $83 and lettuce is at war with us. however every location on every map now says AMERICA

Danielle Ryan@danirat.bsky.social · 2w agoI think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.
I mean just within this story, you get not only the substance of this observation from her, which is beautiful, but the very fact that when she read scripture, she wanted to truly understand it, to see how it made sense to her and was consistent with what she knew was right and sensible.
Dun Jun@clustertuck.bsky.social · 2w agoRIP Dolly Parton ❤️ Here's a lovely Dolly story: We worked together on "Transamerica." She told me that the bible passage that used to puzzle her the most was, "the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." She said, "How the heck do you sin against the Holy Ghost, and-
you can build a bunker for you and your retainers & you can hoard your power & fame, you can worship nothing but ambition or status and stand by while people you might be able to help--in big ways or small ways--go without. Or you can be Dolly. All these things are choices. She made good ones.

Every time a right winger points and laughs at a socialist who was born rich, it should be understood as a desperate attempt to justify their own moral failure to themselves. If you grew up rich and are now a leftist and someone points that out, the proper response is: “Yes I am. Why aren’t you?”

Maggie Harrison Dupré@mharrisondupre.bsky.social · 3w agoOne teen poster has made several videos in which he "ragebaits" girls at school -- ragebaiting, in this case, meaning that he insults girls until they get upset and then posts the interactions to social media for others to weigh in w/ comments. Girls often ask him to stop recording. (He doesn't.)
