This storyline has been old for decades, yet it seems like every day there's another new installment.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in September.

Letter, Van Helsing to Pres. Lincoln.

Friend Abraham, — 26 August.

We fear the Cracker has returned.

Come by train if you can. Bring John Brown.

Yours the most faithful,
A. Van Helsing

if you don't use a similar image for your various testing purposes, what are you even doing friends‽‽!‽!

Oooof, I still remember the weekend we rented Friday the 13th for our NES.

So many jump scares in cabins.

Too many jump scares in cabins!

Crucial for politicians & organizers to hear—academics as well!

Relatedly, this photo of Stuart Hall doing volunteer child care at the Women’s Liberation Movement conference in 1970 remains probably my favorite photo of him.

Post yourself from another era.

(A friend back in Riverside just sent me these photos of when my band opened for @beautypill.bsky.social playing in a different friend's thrift store a few weeks ago!)

(Having started out a Philosophy major and actually having gotten the minor, Deanna Troi's question absolutely applies to the genre of Philosophy Bros in particular…)

IF the dolphin is wearing those
AND also comes directly from a Lisa Frank artwork, how does that affect the baby?

An incredibly duplicitous thing to do on here is add total trash, fake "alt text" by putting in a space character so the little "alt" overlay will show on the associated image.

Please do better from now on, @veganhorizon.substack.com .

Whether intentional or not, this is incredibly user-hostile.

@thatandromeda.bsky.social Hi Andromeda! At the moment when I click on your great Skybrarians feed I see a vague error message that suggests contacting you. (The specific message from the server is apparently: UpstreamTimeout )

Just letting you know in case this isn't expected behavior.

3 orange things worth your attention today:

- the parent navel orange in Riverside;
- the Ford 021C concept car (wikipedia it!);
- Karen Tei Yamashita's fantastic novel _The Tropic of Orange_, one of my absolute favorite books touching on SoCal / borders / America.
