It’s time to cheer on the fish. Here’s a guide to a New England spring spectacle, the herring run. - The Boston Globe From late March through May, millions of river herring make a beeline for New England, entering rivers and brooks from the ocean and fighting their way upriver to get it on in freshwater ponds and lak...

Because we need stuff like this right now, I wrote about several places in Massachusetts where you can watch thousands of fish swimming upstream for their springtime orgies over the next few weeks.

Heck yeah, triceratops!

I spent all day not on BlueSky, and it seems I missed some beef between Trump and the Pope? It's like I missed an episode and am trying to catch up with a recap video on Youtube.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

I started walking to work recently rather than biking precisely because the anxiety of my commute was a terrible start to the workday :(

We didn't deserve this day.

I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction.

It’s abuser behaviour.

Thank god for TACO but we cannot proceed like this

I have more in common with an Iranian who, like me, loves Thoreau than I do any American who supports this war. I'm unable to express how upset I am with how cosmically unfair this all is

If only he could read and understand Horton Hears A Who

The people of Iran are not my enemy, and I don't want them to die

I think tonight I will spend some time with friends, play a game I finally downloaded, and hope for the best in all my fellow Americans

She 100% is

Gray rabbit in a garden by a white brick wall. The garden has gray rocks that are the same color as him, and also a lot of green plants.

White fluffy rabbit standing half an a walkway and half on a patch of grass. Some white eggs are on the grass behind her. This was obviously an attempt to make an Easter Bunny-themed photo but Meringue had no interest in the eggs, so it was hard to get a shot of her near them.

Bunnies!

the era of posting with intent is over. we're entering posting with reckless abandon. the metrics don't matter. the funnel is gone. it's just you, a thought, and the void. and honestly? the void has been more responsive lately.

Be relentless against your enemies, but be ready to show mercy and grace should the opportunity arise to turn a foe into a friend. People can change, and honor is a path through the complex landscape of life, not a fence to keep out trespassers.

Maybe they'd only be transformed if they were in view of the sunny side of the moon, so if they were in orbit around the moon, they'd be a wolf a small part of the time

mm. While reading this i am thinking about a piece that
@mariaa.bsky.social linked yesterday to by
@tarakiyee.bsky.social on the Audrey Lorde quote that "the masters tools will never dismantle the master's house", and it's original context.

Thanks, that's good to know!

My intellect is not so vast that I didn't continue to see her for months because I doubted my instincts so much :(

She sent me holiday cards for years afterwards, until I moved and mail forwarding stopped.

I believe this 100%.

I also had an experience where a therapist kept asking me what I was wearing in different scenarios I was describing, and it was weird and made me uncomfortable. I just stopped going to him, because I was so depressed at the time that driving to therapy was too much effort anyway.

I wouldn't bring a malpractice suit against her. It seemed to me that she was primed to see everything through an autism lens because her son had been diagnosed and she was figuring out how to support him at the time. But there are cases where malpractice (eg, sexual abuse) is applicable.
