Remember: they used thousands of academic books too! If youโ€™re a scholar, check for your books too. This isnโ€™t just novelists and pop writers, itโ€™s academic books too!

A portrait-format, black and white photo of a pool of water on a black sand beach. The light catches the edge of the sand in a line that leads towards distant mountains reflected in the water.

A simple scene from a remote black sand beach in Iceland.

I need a triangular/faceted grip. Which means I mostly use low cost plastic pens and splurge on fun ink. I use either Pilot Plumix or Kaweco Perkeo. Prefer the Perkeo over any Lamy for grip. Havenโ€™t seen them do controversyโ€ฆyet??

Popping in to Bluesky on this fine morning to say that "fountain pen drama" that so many people are referencing relates to Ferris Wheel Press (FWP). Countless people asked for comments on their JKR collab, founder ignored all questions wrt the LGBTQIA+ community.

Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades?

Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes

The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event.

Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesnโ€™t pass the government doesnโ€™t shut down?

Federal workers arenโ€™t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesnโ€™t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.

She is a woman with bluish skin and red eyes, dressed in a formal black dress with a high collar. Her hair is pulled back into a neat bun.

The background consists of concentric circles and flowing geometric shapes in shades of red, black, and orange. Light and shadow are depicted in a stylized manner, with sharp angles and contrasting colors.

Great news, everybody! The ACA is materially undermined, no concessions were secured on any other front, and Donald Trump will be able to declare this a personal win. But poor people did starve for about a week there, so there's that.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

Immigration-related xenophobia has a much broader and more active constituency in America than transphobia does

The majority of US voters, so far as I can tell, flatly do not care about trans people one way or another. They aren't necessarily especially friendly to them, but they clearly find the notion that they're supposed to obsess over them distinctly offputting. (Despite major efforts by the right!)

09.11.2025 15:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 869    ๐Ÿ” 92    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 9

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!

As someone who very much feels Israel has a right to exist, I absolutely cannot support this kind of terror.

People should not feel they must walk on eggshells in their own country because another country can reach out and attack specific individuals for exercising their God-given freedoms.

15 percent of American homes lacked indoor plumbing in 1960.

The idea that everyone in 1955 America lived in a split-level suburban home with two cars and three kids and one income is, quite simply, a fantasy borne of media consumption.
