Sorry, Bluesky... I neglected you for a while.

Time to go back to opening the app to periodically lurk, yet post almost nothing...

So, how do I press pause on the political content on here? I want to hear what others have to say, but also sometimes your girl just needs a break from reality.

We found this image of the extinct giant penguin in our archives and now you have to see what we see.
Diagram of the giant penguin drawn to scale. The penguin is standing with its winds pointed back. There is a shadowed figure of a human behind it, for scale. Image of a giant penguin, but the shadowed image has been replaced with Leonard Dicaprio and the Titanic ship has been photoshopped in so that the penguin is positioned to look like it's at the bow of the ship.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

I’m just saying it feels like this level of sustained anxiety should be burning more calories than this

#Washington folks: HB 1584 is an attempt to take away vote by mail in our state, forcing us to only vote in-person on election days. Making it harder for people to vote is voter suppression. Use the link to message state reps and tell them to reject this bill!

Watching 'For Your Consideration' for the first time. Mad at myself for not watching it sooner.

Tip: you don't need to be on bluesky tomorrow. You can take the day off social media. You don't get virtue points for making yourself feel bad

It's a shame that this story of a Ninja Turtle dressing like Santa to drop copies of The Secret of the Ooze under Christmas trees was a thirty-second commercial and not a thirty-minute TV special.
