Every now and then I remember that "hey, bsky is a thing that I can actually post to, not just scroll through what other people have posted". So in the spirit of that thought, here's some aurora photos I took last night.

there are people who claim that Terry Pratchett would have been a TERF if he was still alive

to them I say two things:

1. are you fucking serious

2. go fuck yourselves

Better surfer.

(Or better photo, at least. Although this guy was in fact a better surfer too.)

When you're an annoying cloud bank on the horizon away from a spectacular moon-rising-directly-behind-the-lighthouse photo...

I'm confused and disappointed. There's been 'lost cat' signs all over our neighbourhood for weeks now, but I couldn't find it on either of my ballot papers...

Just managed to catch the last few moments of the lunar eclipse through the clouds. Always worth getting out there to have a look, just in case!

An orange moon hangs above the horizon behind some wispy clouds, almost entirely full except for an eclipse shadow over the top left corner.

HOT TAKE

Flavored French fries are never superior to the taste of properly made salted fried potatoes. All the adornments are mere ritual, designed to disguise the fact that the perfect people-food exists, costs almost nothing, and requires little skill to prepare.
