A favorite image from my trip to Egypt in 2020, right before the pandemic changed life as we knew it. The stallion EAO Shafea, bred and owned by the world-famous El Zahraa Stud.

When your dog reminds you of your average Sunday morning in your early twenties 🤣🤣

(He had a procedure involving anesthesia today. He’s fine, but mighty hungover.)

You don't have to do it all.

Just what you can do.

If enough people do that, the oligarchs don't have a chance.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

In a world gone mad I’ll take my moments of awe and wonder wherever I can find them. Beautiful sunrise and blue skies on my morning walk. Spring will come.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

So just in case anyone is wondering, the video I just posted that Bluesky has labeled “adult content”… it is a view of the sunset as seen from inside my studio, with a touch of Händel as my soundtrack. Don’t culture them kids! 🤣

I’m never leaving this room. The acoustics are amazing right now with hardly any furniture, even my tiny little Anker speaker makes it sound like a church. 🥰

To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations.

Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

Some genuinely terrible people whining about the "block culture" here on Bluesky is how you know the block culture is working, keep blocking those genuinely terrible people, folks, soon the only people they'll be able to bother here is each other

In a world that’s gone mad there’s something wonderfully comforting about sitting next to a sleeping dog.
