A screenshot of a live webcam in Shetland, Scotland. The whole night sky is tinted green with the aurora.

Agony, even. So close 😔

A screenshot of my aurora app showing high activity over the past and upcoming hours.

A screenshot of my aurora app showing a viewing probably of 0% and cloud coverage of 98% all night.

Pain 💔

I was comparing sunrise and sunset times between today and the shortest day and also between here and London and noticed sunrise varies more than sunset. I wondered why and found this well explained answer. Huh.

An image by the Met Office showing the hours of daylight lost during October across the UK. It varies from 1 hour 50 minutes in the south to 2 hours 40 minutes in the north.

A screenshot from my weather app showing sunrise today is 7:09am and sunset is 4:44pm.

Sigh (2 hours 20 mins gang ✌️😔)

fearmongering and fraud confessions under this post got even worse overnight 😒

1. don't put any word related to nsfw art in the descriptions, and you'll be fine (nothing new. They've been forbidding it for as long as i remember)
2. don't use friends and family for business transactions ❗️

Ideal conditions for starting your passion project will never come. You will never feel skilled enough to make it. There will never be a moment where you stop being scared to start. Do it anyway. Do it badly. Do it scared. Just make that thing that’s clawing at the door of your soul; It wants out.

Notice the deceitful framing - how "the left" is a thing that only has relevance as a voting bloc when it might be "split" by a left-wing party, but not when it wants any of its demands to be met

A digitally painted book cover for "Renegades" by Erin Hunter. A young black and white cat races toward the viewer, mid-stride and in motion. The cat has amber eyes and is literally on fire, with flames blowing in the wind on all sides. The grayish teal ground has puddles which reflect. the glowing flames.

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

bsky.app/profile/did:...

They're making the sunsets transgender!

some people are fretting that "these people are up to something, that's why they're all here" but I suspect it's strictly because they are starved for attention and looking for fights. It's no fun to be them! Pity the person who pays money to rent a bluecheck who opens an account here too

If you look at the accounts on the list, many of them are posting obvious bait about "hearing this place is for open dialogue" so they can get all the people reacting to them as screenshots to jerk off over later.
Silently block the accounts and move on.

PANEL 1: a pigeon sitting up in bed in a dark room. they have a yellow striped sleeping cap on. their bedsheets are light green with a leaf pattern. an alarm clock reading '07:30' is next to them. they say "ah, pitch black when i wake up...my worst enemy..." PANEL 2: the pigeon walks along the sidewalk happily in a yellow scarf as leaves blow. there is grass, a blue sky, and a tree behind them. they say "ah, a crisp breeze, and clear, bright sky...my favourite." PANEL 3: the same frame as panel 2, except it's now dark. the pigeon walks in the other direction, eyes narrowed, saying "ah, pitch black at 5 PM...my worst enemy..."

Alarm going off before sunrise and having to get up in the dark still fuckin sucks though

But hey, sunrise watching opportunities I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Shifting my sleep schedule earlier (as I write this at midnight whoops) has also helped as I didn't see any stars for literally MONTHS and I'm so excited to stargaze and watch out for auroras again!

The sky was glowing orange, the trees turning yellow, leaves slowly drifting down like confetti, there was a gentle mist in the air and a thick low fog over the grass. It was so beautiful. Serene. Blessed. Cosy lamplight vibes but outside in nature.

I drove home during sunset tonight and I finally understand autumn lovers
