sarahmackattack.bsky.socialPeriodically my dad will show up to my house unannounced and do “is my daughter still insane” inspections. Usually I fail. Like the time there was a horseshoe crab* living in my kitchen? Yeah. I failed that time. That’s on me. If he comes by any time soon I am definitely going to fail inspection.

beautysurroundsyou.comNo matter how dull the conditions, there are always photographic opportunities! A long exposure brings out streaking clouds, against the turquoise waters of beautiful Moraine lake in the Canadian Rockies. #bluesky #photography #landscapephotography #nature #travel #naturephotography #mountains #art

skepchick.orgStrawman aside...Alex Pretti literally had a gun on him when he was murdered. The fascists used that fact as a way to portray him as a violent man who deserved to be murdered by the gesloppo. Whoever @vox.com decided this was a cool thing to post should have their head shoved in a toilet.
Ted Underwood
tedunderwood.comThe idea that coding agents prove "learn to code was a mistake" is kind of analogous to thinking the printing press meant "psych! y'all wasted a lot of time learning how to write." Computational thinking is getting easier to pick up, and also providing more leverage than before.

elakdawalla.bsky.socialThe main components of treating Bluesky as Tumblr: 1) reblog everything good as soon as I read it no I will not pace my reblogs you’re getting everything *when* I read it ALL AT ONCE 2) a funny shitpost is worth reblogging no matter what it’s about 3) art is good. More art. And nature photos.

skepchick.orgSeveral replies to my post yesterday unintentionally illustrate the problem with many American gun fans: they think they’re being attacked when they’re not and they lash out like children with no self control. It’s ok to talk honestly about the limits of one gun versus an authoritarian force.

skepchick.orgI love my neighbors. On our Happy Hour Walk(TM) we ran into a new neighbor who asked if we had seen a random dog. Not hers, her family just saw one run past. As we talked a woman pulled up in a van and rolled down her window. She saw it too and was already out trying to find it. We're on the case!!
Evelyndroid's Aperture Science and Bugge-Finding 🏳️⚧️🕷️
apsciencebylyn.bsky.socialYou can just go out in Florida savannah and see the cutest tiny things you'll ever see, in February, like this miniscule bright red stubby little encyrtid wasp (doing her important biocontrol job, of course), it's free This Nugget made my evening today 🥹
Sarah Taber
sarahtaber.bsky.socialNah Tricia Cotham was getting money from donors/orgs normally aligned w the GOP in her last race before the switch. And whining about how Dems were "being too mean" by ::checks notes:: holding her accountable for bad votes. Her switch absolutely did not "come out of nowhere."
Jocelyn Anderson Photography
jocelynanderson.bsky.socialDuring the breeding season American White Pelicans have a bump on their beak. It's an ornamental display to attract mates, and both females and males have them. This photo was taken in Michigan; these pelicans are primarily found in freshwater lakes and rivers.

stevewaycott.bsky.socialAn immature Yellow Warbler (I think) on a beautiful summer morning. It seems YEWA is now broken into different species, so technically this is a Northern Yellow Warbler.

swapnakrishna.comIt’s very unlikely Artemis II will launch in March. NASA announced this morning that due to a helium flow issue in the ICPS (the second stage of the rocket), they will need to roll back SLS to the VAB. This would put the next target launch date at 4/1. www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio...
Dr Abeba Birhane
abeba.bsky.socialas the facct rebuttal period is in session, let me repeat what i've always said: critique is service! identifying & mapping the problem space is in & of itself a legitimate scientific contribution. we can’t proceed to “solve” a problem if we don't have a clear & comprehensive understanding of it 1/
Philip Ball
philipcball.bsky.social"I am ready to pull the plug on my association with Brockman’s agency—and would encourage other authors to consider doing the same—until and unless he clarifies the relationship between him, the Edge Foundation, and Epstein." Well, quite. newrepublic.com/article/1548...
Dr Space Junk (Alice Gorman)
drspacejunk.bsky.socialMore people should read the Moon Agreement. It's often called a 'failed treaty' because it's not supported to the same degree as the Outer Space Treaty, but we should ask ourselves, what's in it that the big 'spacefaring nations' don't want to do? 🧪 #PlanetSci
Nicole Rust
nicolecrust.bsky.socialIt’s PhD admission season in the US and elsewhere. Is anyone collecting and sharing info about what admissions letters are saying this year, especially in the neuro/psych/bio space? Last year there were some (unfortunate) changes at some Unis, eg www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/03/08/u....
Manu 🌊🐋
manelcamacho.bsky.socialThe blind cat decided to sleep in bed. The blind cat wanted to pee, then didn’t want to pee, then wanted to pee again *an infinite cycle*. So I had to stay awake until 3:30 until “Chegi” was finally able to pee in the litter tray. Then I fell asleep until 4:30. How is your morning, lovely ones?...
