Haven’t been in Bluesky much lately, but this is why I come back.
Me, to my state-of-the-art, top-of-the-line, eye-wateringly expensive camera with the world's most sophisticated subject detection autofocus system: "Holy shit! Do you see that??"
Camera: "Say no more."
Me: "What the..."
Camera: "My god that's some beautiful grass. And sharp."

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

I read this differently. It is a brilliant act of subversion to ‘paper over’ monuments in a way that highlights the ludicrousness of current directives without causing harm to the monuments.
It could be the start of a huge piece of protest art, laughing at tyrants.

It's nearly Candlemas. I know most of you neither know nor care about Candlemas (a feast celebrating the presentation of Christ) but you know what you do need? Something to celebrate in this bleak stretch between Christmas and actual daylight. So light a damn candle and have dinner with your friends

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

I miss juncos (in Britain). They are constant points of joy in a snowy CT landscape.
More in the series of Ironweed in its various stages. Here's a junco having a meal of seeds on a snowy day.

This year, I am committing time to reading. Can you help me build my book list?
Looking specifically for something on Mediaeval Marginalia (and doodles), a poet full of wonder, and something about reclaiming the role of humanities/art/truth in the public square. Novels too.

Happy 'brood of vipers' day to all prophets and provokers.
Isn't it bizarre that generations of people thought Christianity was about fitting in when John was right there all along, being his wild self?
