I am happy today to join my many intelligent and thoughtful friends who are now on Bluesky.

The U.S. Department of the Interior manages and conserves 75% of federal lands in America.

We swore an oath to the constitution to protect the Nation’s natural resources and cultural heritage.

If this administration thinks they can undermine our mission in any way, they are sorely mistaken.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

🧶 Good morning, I'm seeking a pattern for this headband. This is store bought and I'd love to replicate it somehow. #knitting

Get ready to swish, cavort, and swirl. And perhaps even lurk out in alleyways or prepare to fight evil. Tonight is going to be fancy. (Met Museum, Pingat; 1885-89)

Hi! I'm making a hat from 100% wool (non superwash) and I'm worried that I might not remember to hand wash it. (Plus, my husband sometimes does the laundry.) As my number of knits grows, I'm wondering if there's a way to mark/designate handwashables, or do I just have to remember?🧶

What I love about this Officially Verified Bluesky Press Lists is it includes a real mix of people at major legacy media outlets, independent organizations, and freelancers.

Let's keep it growing!

Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridated water is safe

Everyone is handling this their own way, and no question it's bad, but may I gently suggest that old bit wisdom we've seen over and over "Do not obey in advance" includes letting him suck all the joy out of your life before he even gets in office. Enjoy some art and escape a bit. Post some nonsense
