I know it’s been said before somewhere but
“I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become.”
I mean, at this point who isn’t

The temperature has dropped 16°F or more since I got up. Down to single digits now with strong gusts of wind. I hope everyone has their pets indoors. This is damaging, even killing weather. #winter #pennsylvania

Devastating rains and wind in parts of #Portugal as the 3rd large storm is set to hit them today. People in some cases being rescued from their homes in boats. Meanwhile I believe the national election is today.

Big fan of this. (Alt text for easier reading.)

Artists have always loved to sketch!

Sketch of a sparrow from Egypt dated c. 1479–1458 BC.

Some 3,500 years ago in Egypt, artists used flakes of limestone as sketchpads!

Other people doing things their doctors would disapprove of: smoking, drinking, eating fatty or sweet foods. Me doing things my doctor would disapprove of: walking alone across crusty snow over a foot deep, walking along icy woodland trails

Groundhog Day Meaning
https://xkcd.com/3202/

Originally, the ceremony used a variety of rodents and mustelids, but over time most people agreed it made sense to standardize on a specific individual ground squirrel in Pennsylvania.

Someone on Tumblr inflicted this on me so I’m passing it on. From now on if I get tempted to rickroll someone I’m using this instead.

And on a different note, for any friends in the US who may be considering going where there's teargas, here's a helpful guide to gas masks, probably something almost all of us should have sooner or later.

Should we be buying bullet-proof shirts and vests next?

Happy Imbolc and happy St Brigid's Day to those who celebrate either or both! In the old traditions they start at sunset the night before.

Have a good day and let yourself believe in good things stirring even if we can't see them yet!

@orchidfever.bsky.social Turns out you can freeze a dying slipper orchid in the freezer and it’ll still look pretty good when you take it out into the sunshine. #orchids #BloomScrolling #flowers

Starting out the season by humourously sexualizing both Winnie the Pooh *and* Mister Rogers in one episode (but not together, I hasten to say! haha) is a bold move. But, you know, mainly, props for mentioning both Winnie the Pooh and Mister Rogers in one episode.

I saw someone saying this isn’t an old-style winter, that it’s never been this cold before where we live. I wanted to say that I remember mornings waiting for the school bus in the late 1950s when it was -20°F (and I do) but I just hated how old it made me sound. 😅🥶 #weather

I'm not a big Bruce fan but this gave me goosebumps. #music
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
