Here at Bluesky we have a few simple rules:

1. Younger layers of rock sit atop older layers.
2. Layers of sedimentary rock are originally deposited horizontally.
3. Rock layers must be older than the intrusion that disturbs them.
4. Layers of rock are continuous until disrupted

I rode my bike 36 miles and saw so many people of all ages and activities enjoying the day. It was really cool to see so many folks savoring the day

Today was an absolute stunner in Portland

Agreed. I like how many breweries are doing hop water, which makes a ton of business sense. I guess I get why more brewers aren’t doing na, but I’d love to see more options. Kinda related: I’d love to see more na on tap. Enjoying some Athletic at the Timbers match

I wonder if you could talk a local bottle shop into stocking it through their distributors. I’m also picky about IPAs and don’t love most of the NA IPAs out there. Fieldwork also does some great NAs if they distribute to you

Go Dig a Hole @godigahole.bsky.social · 3d

They also have an na IPA that’s pretty good

This na Pilsner from Burial is pretty great

Archaeologists speak up against the Vice President's blatantly disinformative use of archaeology for spreading these harmful Christian nationalist narratives
🏺

Quote from article reading, "Vance then pivoted and made a historical argument, claiming early settlers to North America and ancient societies practiced forms of 'child sacrifice'. Historians have found no evidence of that."

Quote from article: "he went on to say archaeological sites associated with ancient brothels often include the remains of infants, calling it evidence that societies that 'discard innocent babies' also tend to mistreat women. 'There is a reason why Christian civilization ended the practice of child sacrifice all over the world,' he said. 'It's one of the great accomplishments of Christian civilization."

"By mid-October, a few dozen salmon had swum roughly 30 miles through Upper Klamath Lake and reached tributaries of the Klamath ... One year after the last of the dams came down, salmon are spreading throughout the uppermost reaches of the river."

yup, that's me. i bet you're wondering how i got myself into this situation

Scimitar cat attacking a hominid, artist's impression. The scimitar cat (Homotherium sp.) was a member of the sabre-toothed cat family (Machairodontinae) which lived throughout Africa, Eurasia and North America between 3 million to 10,000 years ago. Its prey included hominids such as Australopithecus africanus (shown here).

Official anthropology ruling: you can use kinship terms in extended ways including for people who have no ties of marriage or ancestry. Real humans know this and do it. Some humans do it a lot more than others.

imagine telling on yourself that you refer to adult relatives of your parents' age as something other than "aunt" or "uncle". the expression "am I your mate?" exists for a reason

I hope it's helpful! Yes to both, and the approach you mentioned earlier about waiting a while before extending your generosity is something I've also worked on in therapy. It feels selfish! But it makes a lot of sense in that it exposes people who would otherwise take advantage of generosity.

Go Dig a Hole @godigahole.bsky.social · 8d

This really resonates with me. I've struggled with that as well, especially the tension over personal boundaries. The book, Running on Empty, by Christine Musello, helped me understand a lot of my own patterns of behavior WRT self-abandonment and sacrificing my boundaries. It might help you too

Think actions like the destruction of the East Wing shouldn't happen? We have ONE cultural resource law to keep fed gov in check, & there's a hearing in the senate Wednesday. Call members on the natural resources committee & voice your support for Section 106! preservationaction.org/106-hearing-...

as we reach the SNAP cliff just a gentle reminder to do-gooders that the most efficient use of resources is to contribute to organizations that are already established. unless nothing exists in your area (and it likely does whether you know it) now is probably not the time to stand something up

I had the same feeling about going to Bend, where visiting breweries used to be a highlight of my trips there. It’s funny that the health foods grocery store out in the burbs has the best range of na options I’ve seen around here

The first thing that came to my mind when seeing this was how fixated N*zis were on ancient civilizations because it allowed them to develop a mythology that legitimized their worldviews

Worth noting that the White House, the Supreme Court, the Capitol, & related grounds are all exempt from the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. So there is no formal review process for this kind of thing.
