OH SHIT HE'S DOING THE THING

One of my own photos. The E.C. Minssen store in Willow Springs, which is about halfway between Fayetteville and Industry, Texas, in 2010.

As @aspiringpeasant.com always tells us, beavers are infrastructure 🦫

2 to 3 inches of snow on a patio covering a bench, table, and doghouse. Plants with snow cover in background. The doghouse is where we feed ground birds. It keeps their bird food dry.

No internet, no TV, no landline this morning.

But we do have 2” of fresh snow for a 3” base.

29 degrees in East Woodinville. My snow shovel is super excited for its morning workout. ❄️

Absolutely stunning winter morning from Redmond WA. Snow blanket at 2” at 530 ft elevation around Redmond Ridge. Foggy inversion in the foothills with sunny skies over Mount Baker in the distance. #wawx #pnw #wxpics #wx #snowday

The vibe is positively terrible right now.

I saw someone talking about “12th grade phonics” the other day.

“Year of the Snake” just sounds cool.

I’ve started standing about two rows deep in the classroom to lecture and I find it makes people who are texting really uncomfortable. I’m going to keep doing it.

Back in 2021, Adrian Vermeule and Mary Harrington blocked me, having never interacted with me, for mentioning that.

Shy. Scared of train noises, but obsessed with trains. Counted syllables. Wore only one color. Didn’t get she shouldn’t drown kittens in the pickle brine.

Houston snowpack?! 😱

More snow in Houston and New Orleans this month than the Sierra Nevada. 🤷‍♂️

Picture-book snow day reading-after we made snowballs today!

Big snowstorms, like the astonishing & historic one today along the Gulf Coast today, are not just a function of cold air: they also require ample moisture and upward motion in the atmosphere. Very warm oceans contribute both, and when a rare Arctic airmass comes along...poof!

NOAA on Bluesky? We are so back.

Little Red Riding Hood (1911), starring Mary Pickford

I am 99% certain that guy was an old school form of troll. The Hail Eris guy who owns a top hat sort.

Man, I loved that movie. THE POWER GLOVE.

i love that blur wrote the woohoo song to make fun of american grunge rock and americans were like "wow this slaps" and then continued ignoring blur

I mean... that actually kind of used to be the case.

To all those celebrating today, a very happy #Thanksgiving! If you are in need of some last minute improvised table decorations this could be of use... The Art of Ornamental Orange Peeling, from 1910: buff.ly/3dNcOVI

Now THAT is a mustache.

Oh, wow.
