This is a fascinating thread about taxonomy and political ideology - this is exactly what I was writing about in Alien Clay.
And not to melodramatically shift gears,
But I think understanding that is one of the most fundamentally anti-fascist things you can do.

Just your classic boy-meets-arthropod love story.
I am crying over how much a weird gas mask wearing man and his horrific giant centipede wife love each other.
If you’d like this inflicted upon you as well, I can’t recommend Days of Shattered Faith (but the whole trilogy really) by @aptshadow.bsky.social enough.

Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind.
Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.

Nine years again myself and a friend, Sir K, entertaining the public at a Christmas event, flaming swords in the wind can be a bit tricky.

Attempted Vegetarian beef wellington, fairly happy with first attempt but I think some tweaking is required.

Even before elongated mush took control twitter was toxic, really hoping bluesky is a nice place to chill, maybe chat and not be harassed by trolls.
Here's to something better.

It was just pointed out to me that a recent update to the Bluesky client now allows you to block bots, trolls and chuds directly from their obnoxious comments via the right click menu, so I checked and sure enough, there it is (highlighted in the picture). Truly this is an age of wonders.

New on here and mostly, thus far trying it out to add numbers to bluesky to encourage it as an alternative to elongated mush.
