Yeah, that’s a big NOPE for me.

This account is that content scraper from Twitter that built a massive following by ripping off other people’s work and just posting without attribution.

He says it right there in his first post. These people never learn.

This is not the BlueSky way.

BLOCK HIM.

New account on BlueSky called Massimo who is known to rip off other people’s content and make money from it. The first pinned posts says that if someone owns the original content to get in touch with him as he has clearly ripped it off. The handle to block is @rainmaker1973-m.bsky.social

New story day!

"Phantom View" is about a son caretaking for his father, and discovering a blurry person in all their family photos that he has no memory of. The same figure is in all his dad's paintings--and the figure may be in the house with them right now.

Phantom View - Reactor

A disabled son care-taking for a disabled father try to understand the mysterious blur haunting them.

I love using #Scrivener and enjoyed it so much I once created a training course called Scrivener Simplified (with their blessing at the time). Anyway, the domain is long since gone, but I put the videos on YouTube for anyone interested.

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

what we talk about when we feel okay about crying

✨the daniel✨ @intelectconfig.wtf · 22h

I had someone tell me once that tears are just emotional sweat. you don't ever get mad at your body about sweating, you accept it. if you need to apply more deodorant or towel it off or take a shower, you do, but you don't feel a sense of failure about getting sweaty.

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews

These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them

Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

The best way to counter this tactic is to familiarize yourself with the database of dogwhistles. The ADL is deeply problematic in so, so many ways, but they maintain the best and most solid database of symbolism: www.adl.org/resources/ha...

How many more scandals do we have to go through again before a Minister resigns under this government?

It's time for Premier Ford to do the right thing and fire his Minister.

A polar bear sleeps, curled up on the tundra next to a swale of bare Willow. Hudson Bay can be seen behind it.
