@celinashope.bsky.social I just scored 1 1/2 yards of burgundy-black plaid fine Italian wool suiting for $6!! (A remnant.) I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but I just couldn't resist at that price!. :D
LOONS!!! And not just any loons, EFFIN' LOONS!!! Woo hoooooo!!
A dark, textured background with handwritten-style white text that reads: “Maybe yesterday made you feel defeated… but today is here to give you another chance. So please don’t waste it. Do something truly important. Pet a kitty.” In the bottom right corner, a fluffy black cat with big round white eyes looks forward. A speech bubble next to the cat adds: “And feel less shitty.”
Happy Caturday 🐾🤍

Screenshot of a book cover showing an illustration of a crow perched on an "ICE" jacket lying in the middle of a snow-lined road under the light of a full moon. The cover reads "ICE Out " by Charles de Lint. Text to the right of the cover reads "ICE came to Newford. Big mistake." and "Download for free!"
Urban fantasy author Charles de Lint just published a new "novelet" and released it for free, his stories of myth and magic and community and found family are full of so much love and hope and we could all use some of that right now

Love is in the air at Edinburgh zoo. Pebbling marks the start of the breeding season for Gentoo penguins.
Kids at Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity painted pebbles for the penguins to choose from and present to their mates.
THIS NEEDS TO BE A COMIC!!!! Excellent idea for your next Guardian spot, imho.

@mtamblyn.bsky.social VERY happy to say that the latest Kobo Clara Color firmware update fixed the problem with my KCC not remembering my both network and the wi-fi password! Thank you so much for the attention to this issue and the fix! MUCH appreciated!!
This sign, on my commute...I have so many questions!!
This chart really illustrated the difference in ICE enforcement that happened in Minnesota, and the same thing in other States. Minnesota was definitely hit way out-of-proportion really, really hard.
A stylized ruffed grouse bird spreads its wings on this riff on the Rebel Alliance logo. The bird is in the center of a circle, painted in shades of red, green, yellow, and black, in the style of a Pennsylvania Dutch folk painting. A small eight pointed star is to the right of the bird’s head. Under the logo is the text “Pennsylvania Civil Resistance”
I love this spectacular Ruffed Grouse Pennsylvania resistance bird by Jen Rand ( @jenrand.bsky.social ). The star is a nod to the Quaker tenet of nonviolence, and the style harks back to PA Dutch folk art.
Hey tabletop gamers, if you bought or were considering buying this bundle but got overwhelmed by the number of games to sort through, have I got the spreadsheet for you!!
All 1,074 games tagged as "physical" sorted by play style, with language, engine, and genre notated to the best of my ability:
Title: A Valentine’s Day experiment In an effort to test the efficacy of cupids arrows of desire. A placebo group is shot with regular arrows. Their injuries range from moderate to sever. Unexpectedly, romances struck up in hospital and lawyers’ waiting rooms create a "romance ratio" similar to that of magic arrows. However, once the cost of compensation claims is factored in, it is decided to discontinue.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Not a brick. Not a Molotov. Not a weapon.
A rubber dick.
That is how fragile federal masculinity is in 2026.”
