Reading @kymdeyn.bsky.social's 'Folkish' and whispering "fuck offfff" after every poem because it's just so good.

(from Naturalists at Sea: Scientific Travelers from Dampier to Darwin, by Glyn Williams, p. 168).

I do have a concern that there is no mention of pants, and there is just the portfolio. I guess that 's why you carry the cutlass and the gun.

...pins, long and fine, is attached to his buttonhole; a sabre or cutlass lies to his side. An umbrella-like broad-brimmed leather hat shades his head and protects his shoulders; leather gaiters ward his legs from all which can wound; and a gun usually serves to complete the equipment.' "...

...serves him as clothing; an immense portfolio in the guise of a shooting pouch rests over his loins; a minerologist's hammer hangs below, another string over the other shoulder suspends forceps padded with linen, which are destined to catch insects and butterflies; a pin-cushion covered with...

It appears that ships' naturalists dressed in rather unique clothing when going onto land to botanize. Behold, the costume in one case:
"...a description by one of the ship's officers offers a glimpse of Claude Riche's clothes and equipment as he went ashore:
'A large canvas vest with pockets....

That’s right

Congratulations!

This rather creepy photo is Artemis II’s heat shield underwater, as taken by the U.S. Navy. This is the first photo we have of the heat shield, and upon initial examination it doesn’t seem to have the char loss that Artemis I’s had.

Sometimes when I talk about how much masks improve my life, people mistakenly think I still want to be living in mid-2020.

No! That sucked! It was stressful and sad!

A main reason I wear & love N95s in crowded places is that I get to opt out getting sick while skipping the bad parts of that time!

It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”

Once again "the death of the West" meant "the death of my secret bank account."

Surely you are mistaken, this is not a moth, but the endangered "winged teddy bear".

Tim Apple is finally stepping down and Tim Onion is finally buying infowars, what a crazy day for Tim Vegetables.

No, we are not doing “Jewish deicide” on Bluesky, the Nostra aetate settled this decades ago.

The Roman authorities, with the support of local oligarchs, killed Jesus. There’s no “blood guilt on all Jewish people” (or on Italians).

The Adversus Judaeos bull is literally 1600 years out of date.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Trump Pardoned a Nursing Home Owner Who Owed Almost $19 Million to a Grieving Family Stories about pardons are often about presidential power. But what about people on the other side of that grace? The Coulson family may never receive millions from a wrongful death lawsuit it won years ago.

NEW: Stories about pardons are often told as stories about presidential power — who had access, who persuaded a president to intervene. But what drew reporter Jeremy Kohler to this story was the people on the other side of that act of grace.

Sounds just like our Speaker of the House here. "I haven't heard anything about that (important event that he definitely heard about). "I don't know anything about that (important thing that he absolutely knows a lot about)". Seems like a contagious condition.
