I really gotta make that Nautolan Jedi in team blues. Just in case the Kraken ever invite Star Wars Washington to a game.

As October begins, we contemplate how the sea wind had its way with this now-fungal saint.

scary sea-weathered saint on the church near Hartlepool headland (body of saint is heavily eroded down to a veined or boxwork-like underlying structure of the stone, which looks like weird branching fungus).

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Updated display name for spooky season! Also here have my favorite villain look. She’s about to go on a mission to @geekgirlcon.bsky.social and get her butt kicked by the sunshiniest Padawan ever.

Brainstem damage found to be behind long-lasting effects of severe Covid-19.

"Using ultra-high-resolution scanners that can see the living brain in fine detail, researchers from the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford were able to observe the damaging effects Covid-19 can have on the brain."

Post-game selfie with our unit leaders. :D

Two smiling humans. Me, a white brunette with shoulder length hair and a green t-shirt, holding up Úlfhildr the blue-armored, white and bronze-winged Valkyrja, and my boyfriend Joe, a dark-haired man with a salt and pepper beard in a RHPS shirt, holding up Typhus the green and bronze armored Plague Lord.

Oh no I may be a wargamer now

(My Valkyrja and Vlka Fenryka won the day via objective control against Joe’s Plague Marines.)

A winged armored warrior woman with drawn sword stares down a Plague Lord with his staff raised.

A ruined fortress hosts a confrontation between winged armored women and red robed knights against green plague marines and poxwalkers.

Dice and tokens at the ready as miniatures square up in ruined fortress terrain.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,

Charles M. Schulz"

MAGA’s government shutdown was totally avoidable, and I will keep fighting hard to get government back open. In the meantime, my team and I have put together a dedicated resource page to help your family navigate this rocky time.

As of 12:01 AM on October 1, Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have shut down the government.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

In that note, Seattle folks: from now through spring when the cruise ships come back, Pike Place Market is heavily reliant on locals. Swing through to pick up some fish or some fruit or a book from one of the bookstores if you can. As an added bonus, you get this view all to yourself:

Style lessons from Robert Redford, one of the most stylish men in the last century. 🧵

Apologies for not adding alt text to all these photos. My cat is screaming her head off and if I don't let her outside right this instance, where I have to accompany her, I might die.
