I can't believe it's 18°F at 7:00 am and I also can't believe I'm happy that it's 18°F at 7:00am.
I guess all you need to appreciate the bad is a good dose of the worse.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I know it’s been said before somewhere but
“I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become.”

The temperature has dropped 16°F or more since I got up. Down to single digits now with strong gusts of wind. I hope everyone has their pets indoors. This is damaging, even killing weather. #winter #pennsylvania

Devastating rains and wind in parts of #Portugal as the 3rd large storm is set to hit them today. People in some cases being rescued from their homes in boats. Meanwhile I believe the national election is today.

Some 3,500 years ago in Egypt, artists used flakes of limestone as sketchpads!

Groundhog Day Meaning

Originally, the ceremony used a variety of rodents and mustelids, but over time most people agreed it made sense to standardize on a specific individual ground squirrel in Pennsylvania.

And on a different note, for any friends in the US who may be considering going where there's teargas, here's a helpful guide to gas masks, probably something almost all of us should have sooner or later.
Should we be buying bullet-proof shirts and vests next?

Happy Imbolc and happy St Brigid's Day to those who celebrate either or both! In the old traditions they start at sunset the night before.
Have a good day and let yourself believe in good things stirring even if we can't see them yet!
