Monochrome cartoon with two panels. First panel shows a figure with short hair wearing a shirt and tie. Their arms are crossed and they have a mixture of frustration and confusion on their face. In the second panel they throw their arms up in annoyed resignation and declare, "I guess"

Post a pic you took to add some calm to the timeline
Photo of a gravel driveway winding into the distance between green trees in the foreground. A wooden fence lines one side of the drive and there's a grass field beyond the trees. The late-afternoon sun is slanting in from the right, illuminating patches of leaves, grass, and gravel.

Just had an amazing evening seeing @windbornesingers.bsky.social sing beautiful harmonies with historical and social punch. Highly recommend if you get a chance to see them live.

Well begun is half done? Returning to reading as a ward against too much doomscrolling. Finally started Kim Stanley Robinson's 2312. Just through the prologue and I already *need* to experience sunrise on Mercury.

Photo of an particularly thick book resting on the red-brown arm of an overstuffed leather chair. Only the top of the book is visible, with a bookmark unimpressively close to the beginning.

Democracy Dies In Cowardice
Partial screen shot of a web page. The top shows The Washington Post masthead. Below is a single line of text that says "We've canceled your subscription"

The aurora over NJ this morning (Canon 6D, Rokinon 24mm lens, ISO100, f1.4, 15 sec). Was just a faint purple tint in the sky to the naked eye.
Photograph of Aurora Borealis with Red vertical streaks over a faint purple background. The streaks turn to yellowish green near the bottom of the image, where they are silhouetted by a mid-distant line of trees. There are pinpoint stars peeking through the curtains of light.
