Happy Weird Pride Day to all who celebrate!

I'm really happy with how it's coming together so far. I hope we'll see a good few people posting bits of writing and videos and things today, too, besides the things I've directly organised myself (with help from many others)...

A lot of frogspawn in a pond, scrambling the reflected sky.

The frogs must have been busy last night.

It appears as if someone has started to track this person’s alts in a list you can subscribe to for blocking bsky.app/profile/did:...

I would recommend following @listifications.app. Found out that I've been added to fake MAGA lists (attempts to disrupt engagement for non-right-wing accounts) by these accounts (block 'em). @benisglory.bsky.social

Update 2: I have to leave my Charlie cat behind for now + it's proving difficult to find somewhere to live.

@cultauthor.bsky.social Hi David, are you able to access DMs on here still? (I sent one to the Hookland account.)

@megalithic.bsky.social Couldn't find any info on this maps.app.goo.gl/tai7AsrUkkci.... Looks like a perfect circle of 12 regularly-spaced stones around a 13th. Did Carla Lane have it built?

I sense the world might be more dreamlike, metaphorical, and poetic than we currently believeβ€”but just as irrational as sympathetic magic when looked at in a typically scientific way. I wouldn't be surprised if poetryβ€”poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designsβ€”is how the world works. The world isn't logical, it's a song.DAVID BYRNE

But wasn't Daedalus responsible, both for designing the labyrinth and for suggesting the idea of the thread to Ariadne?

A 14th-Century Marvel

Hidden in the church of St Nicholas, Dersingham, Norfolk, is one of England's most remarkable medieval survivalsβ€”a spectacular mid-14th century carved oak chest.
