Exhausted mossy shape. With antlers.

Scene from the Netflix series Black Spot: an antlered silhouette of a person crouches high on a rocky outcropping, framed by a misty blue-green background and dark foliage.

"Buck's Cornfield in the Moonlight," oil on linen panel by Melwell, 16x20 – Call Parsons Gallery of the West at +1-575-737-9200
1m

An expressive oil painting depicting a moonlit view of Taos Valley. The scene shows a glowing full moon in a lavender-purple sky above dark, textured mountains painted in thick strokes. Below, a golden band of light suggests the illuminated town stretching across the horizon, contrasting with the deep, impasto layers of dark earth tones in the foreground. The overall effect captures the luminous quiet of night and the rhythmic geometry of mountain silhouettes beneath the moon.

Indigenous led protests in Ecuador have been happening for almost a month, but I haven't really had the energy to do a big thread with updates like I did with Brazil or Panama earlier this year. I've just been keeping an eye out for updates from people on the ground.

Today, a thread to honor and celebrate #IndigenousPeoplesDay.
The world is so big, so there will be a second and maybe a third part.
We will begin with Zuni weaver We’wha (1849-1896).

🧵 1/20

Robin (she/he-ella/él) @merryrobin.bsky.social · Aug 27

We’wha (1849-1896), a notable weaver and potter Lhamana (Zuni Two Spirit), took on both masculine and feminine tasks as a Zuni cultural ambassador and pottery and textile artist.
Also a spiritual leader, We’wha endeavored to preserve the history, traditions, and knowledge of the Zuni people.

A black and white, full body portrait of We'wha, a highly respected cultural figure in Zuni culture, known as a "lhamana" (two spirits). We'wha is standing, looking at the camera, wearing traditional Zuni attire, with patterned clothing, woven belts, a long beaded necklace, and earrings. The hair is styled with side buns adorned with ribbons.

Hahahahahah!

So, there’s an actual psychological reason why phone numbers are formatted the way they are — so they could be more easily recalled.

Grouping the numbers together makes it more likely that they can be remembered, rather than just trying to remember long strings of numbers.

bleary @bleary.off-the-records.com · 1d

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

If you contribute to the deletion of Palestinian bluesky accounts, you're no better than Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu. You (like any pitiful fascist) attempt to compensate for your inherent lack by increasing innocent people's misery.

I have a good imagination, and I can't conjure what it must be like. I love my kids. Free Palestine.

Dear brothers and sisters,
I'm not used to asking for donations.
But the situation is extremely painful.
Children in need of milk, a destroyed home, etc.
A donation of $1 will make a difference toward achieving a dream.

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 2d

Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 2d

ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.
