Zowie.

A covered bridge, very possibly (Google Lens) in Sleepy Hollow, NY. A small sign reads 'STATE ROAD.' The photo was taken about 30' from the entrance, lit from behind photographer. The entry to the bridge seems to squat like an open mouth. The far end, much smaller because vanishing point, shows the road; you _could_ make it through. Some light comes through the slanted palings making up the bridge's wall. Beyond and above the bridge, framed by dark, leafy trees, the sky is filled with intense dull red clouds, like fire. Ominous as all hell. Gorgeous. Photo by Gerry Hudson.

Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.

J'avais eu la chance de voir ses originaux au musée Miniature et Cinéma de Lyon, et il faut les voir en personne pour se rendre compte du niveau technique de dingue qu'il y a derrière ces affiches.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

This right here is probably at least 85% of why that useless age-verification social media law got passed. The other 15% being to protect Murdoch's empire.

rahaeli @rahaeli.bsky.social · 15h

Mandatory age verification to "protect children" is not to protect children. It is to deanonymize every adult speaker and consumer of speech online so the government can retaliate against speakers and speech they don't approve of. For instance: apnews.com/article/trum...

The Fox Brides of Hookland folklore are more than a placing the witch as a transforming thing, as shapeshifting seductress. They are a powerful linking of her power to woods and wild places; they are a fear-telling of ferality, her place outside society’s rigid structures. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.

• Alternative options: For introducing The Hobbit to young children, it's better to start with age-appropriate content like
VeggieTales: Lord of the Beans or Bubble Guppies: The Puppy and the Ring, as recommended by Common Sense Media.
