If #bluesky is an echo chamber, then let it be filled with the weirdest, nerdiest content!
The mummified hand of an executed criminal holding a candle made from human fat was once believed to render a person who carried it invisible. It was called the “Hand of Glory.” This one's from Whitby Museum.

A good time to remember that "The Carol of the Bells", a classic song of this holiday season, originated from traditional Ukrainian New Year songs. Best wishes to Ukrainians everywhere doing their best to preserve their culture in the face of the Russian state once again trying to assimilate them.
In the Transcarpathia region, some locals embrace a traditional lifestyle and cultural identity. After surviving Soviet threats, now they fear President Vladimir Putin seeks to erase their culture.
Far from the front lines, Ukrainians fight a war to preserve their culture

To the “high road” Democratic leaders who say Biden should pardon Trump, knock it off. What the hell kind of a message do you think that would send? We need to fight autocracy, not flirt with it.

Subtitles aren’t just for deaf or hard of hearing players. They’re important for players in loud environments (who can’t use headphones), non-native speakers who rely on text to follow dialogue, and many neurodivergent folks who struggle to focus or process audio quickly. Just to mention few.

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.
