now having myself an experience listening to terry riley's Persian Surgery Dervishes

oh my gosh @exiletomars.bsky.social Evening Star (i think that's the one you were mentioning!) is SO INCREDIBLE. drove across a bridge in a snowstorm listening to the A side and felt utterly transported. and so disturbed by the Metal tracks (positive) aaaaaah!! what a journey. thank you.

Common Eider Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology A bird of the cold north with a warm reputation, the Common Eider is famous for the insulating quality of its down (typically harvested from nests without harming the birds). Breeding males are sharp ...

sachuest point has a huge range of ducks - i initially thought these were buffleheads, but noted the dorsal bright white fur + the sharp black jag of the tail. and they are specifically tought arctic-inclined birds! so cool. www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common...

i have spent very little time thinking about and noticing ducks. for whatever reason. i let ducks just be the idea of Ducks and hang out in the background. but these ducks are MAKING IT WORK and doing everything they can!!!! so resilient and tough!!!! they outlasted me out there. good ducks.

sweeties!! extremely cold sweeties!!

rooting for these eider ducks off a blistering sachuest point (middletown, rhode island) 🥶😻🥶😻🥶

Solo RPGs: An open or shut case? On open-ended and close-ended solo rpgs and what group play can learn from them

I wrote this essay a while back about solo rpgs, "open-ended" vs "close-ended" games, and different types of replayability. It was originally published in The Lone Toad newsletter by @croaker-rpgs.bsky.social.

I'd love to hear what you think!

thank you so much!! i will def listen!

YouTube video by Humano Studios Relaxing Experimental Ambient Mix Vol. 2 [Vinyl Studio Session] with RAICA

does anyone have good music recs (specific artists or even sub-genre names) for like, very tactile/nature/warm style experimental electronic music? like Florist, but less oriented towards folk song structure.

this is in the right direction! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oQR...

oh hell yeah i'm ready for slug-impersonating-a-human life

Not just any study, but a systematic review with meta-analysis - among the absolute highest standards of evidence in science. The review considered over 6,400 individuals across the pooled studies.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

when i say bring that baby home i mean EVERY BABY

Worth noting as well that the knowledge and tactics taught at the trainings have, by this point, pretty deeply permeated among the broader public.

To some extent, wherever you go, most random passersby know what to do. People carry whistles with them, a big response can materialize out of nowhere.

Imagine seeing this and thinking, after Renee Good and Alex Pretti, that what ICE needs is more funding for surveillance equipment like body cams.

ABOLISH IS THE FLOOR.

Why WNBA Players Have a Point in CBA Standoff With League It’s crunch time for collective bargaining between the WNBA and the Players' Association as the two sides met Monday in hopes of getting closer to an agreement

Great article from Maria Marino on the current state of the WNBA labor negotiations.

There are many reasons to question the league's position. This article does a great job of explaining the problems!

today like every day we wake up with the chance to be more like chappell roan (horrifyingly hot, gay, very gay)

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Grief stood like a sentinel in public. On the steps of the Public Theater, Peter Dinklage read Amanda Gorman's poem, "For Renee Nicole Good." No spectacle. Just a voice carrying loss out loud. Renee should be here. Saying her name matters. Remembrance is resistance.

who do you think is leading the region's residents dave. who do you think it is. it's people whose names are Rat and Castle and Couch in real fucking life not just on signal

You should keep this in mind while reading Epstein emails, is what I mean.

oh heck yeah!! i'm a minnesota lynx fan living in rhode island so i 100% relate - glad you felt the glow of hometown hoops in any event! ✨✨✨

one of my favorite list-award-recommendation-things ever. how I first heard about Simon Jimenez and Nghi Vo - two all-time favorite writers. can't recommend enough.

STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE MINNESOTA LYNX PLAYERS: We, the Minnesota Lynx players, stand with our community in these challenging and trying times. As a team, we have always been committed to our 'Change Starts With Us' platform, and we remain dedicated to these values. We extend our love and support to the individuals, families and communities across the Twin Cities and the state of Minnesota who have been affected by recent tragic events. We acknowledge the profound impact these recent occurrences have had and recognize that meaningful change begins with each of us. We honor those whose lives have been lost and extend our strength and compassion to all who are affected. Minnesota's strength resides in its people, and it is through collective support and collaboration that our communities will continue to endure and heal.

What a cowardly statement from the Minnesota Lynx that vaguely alludes to “recent tragic events” without naming a single harm directly. I’ve spoken to enough women’s sports people on the ground in Minnesota to know how tone deaf this statement is in light of the current crisis & ICE-occupation.

that's so wonderful you went!! looked *incredible*
