This is a great example of the wrong way to look at blocking on bluesky

if you think that people are blocking you to hide themselves from you, that is not the case

we're hiding you from us

we'd be foolish to think on this open internet we can keep anything from your eyes

we just think you suck 🫶
dying laughing at the "if you're just here to block me I'm probably following you on my main account you don't know about" threat in the bio

girl, watch me be fabulous, IDGAF

I am just not interested in seeing YOU

if you're showing up with a couple of rats in a trenchcoat for my show, plz enjoy ✨

While the Magellanic Clouds shine upon the Chilean Desert, two VLTI Auxiliary Telescopes point up to the sky — all together reminding us of how small we are as humans compared to cosmic objects & the telescopes we observe them with.

Meet Ember, a raku-fired bear born from flame and smoke.

Their copper, purple and orange hues shift like autumn leaves in firelight, ready to curl up and dream till spring.

HEADS UP! We just had an X1.7 flare from AR 4274 which is directly facing Earth! There is a complex, hull halo CME on the way with a clear northward propagation bias. Models will be important to see how much of this is actually coming at us. I’ll post later with more updates.

Our freedom was won by brave women and men who answered the call — including the heroic First Nations, Inuit, and Métis members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

On Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the sacrifice of those who have served, those who serve today, and their families.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.
