The second you get to the top of the escalator in a crowded place, stop. Don't move just stand, slack jawed and look around while you decide where you want to go next. Don't worry about the crushing masses on the escalator behind you trying to get past you. Those are just NPCs. This is YOUR moment.

Victorian artist & naturalist Marianne North (b. #OTD in 1830) defied gender norms to document global plant life. Over 14 years, she traveled solo across 6 continents and 15+ countries, creating a revolutionary visual archive of the natural world. #WomenInSTEM #Art #ArtSky

Bald eagles, humpback whales, giant pandas, peregrine falcons, and greater one-horned rhinos have all come back from the brink of extinction!

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

kan ikke tolke det annet enn dithen at NRK er i slekt med Westerlin og driver gratispromotering. han er tjue år eldre enn bokens karakterer, og det er bare det ene som er galt her

Slutter ikke å la meg fascinere av at det norske språket åpner for å kalle en art for "havnespy". Er litt som at skjæra skulle hett "tjatrefaen", elefanten "snabeltryne" eller skogsmus skulle hett "gnagehælvete". www.miljodirektoratet.no/aktuelt/fagm...

THIS is the sort of programmers you want! 😍 experienced people who can calmly put down whatever they're doing, turn around on their chair, and calmly say "what is the actual problem?" not kids that are "enthusiastic outgoing rockstars, with great social skills, go-getters and passionate"

Something that I think a lot of non-tech people (and, honestly, quite a few tech people) are unaware of is just how much of the internet and the web is dependent on volunteers and hobbyists.

alltid sutring over halloween i norge ("æsj amerikansk! æsj kommers!" jada, mann roper til sky). men her er en ting: de sier bare knask eller knep. i motsetning til julebukker, trenger du ikke stå der å høre 15 falske julesanger og sloss med stivt ansiktsuttrykk i fem minutter. WIN

when you set an alarm – does it have to be a 0 at the end? for ex, would 08:03 drive you nuts? or 08:22? 🤔

SMUGGLE YOUR MATERIALS TO THE ARCHIVIST

Frank Cifaldi@frankcifaldi.bsky.social

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

damn right. on the other hand, halloween could be far more interesting with denying them sweets: 16 yo SHOULD have some good tricks. those lazy six-year olds are useless at starting a proper fun neighbourhood vendetta

det kan også være at sånne unger som meg, som avskydde konkurranser, også vil synes dette er delvis positivt, for da holder. de. grusomme. konkurransemenneskene. KJEFT

oh shut up. no living british civilians have "lived through war" my 80yo+ uncle flies a rainbow flag and a palestinian flag. age is no excuse for racism. if you are a hateful young person, you'll be a hateful old person. it is a choice you make

Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social

My dad fought in the war and he wasn't a racist. My late mother was a teenager and dedicated her life to helping refugees. My cousin is in her 80s and "fucking hates racists". You don't get a get out of racist jail free card simply for being old and having happened to have lived during a war.

the french really knows how to riot… what is good about it, is that they are fighting for social justice, not hating immigrants. i see palestinian flags there

interesting how the anarchist A is a sort of go-to symbol. i doubt they actually are anarchists at all, but the A has kinda become a generic "fuck the system"-type. also; fast to make

Howard Mittelmark@howardm.bsky.social

After shaking my head at old people who said "things were better when I was a kid" all my life, and knowing how common it is for a culture to regard the past as a Golden Age, it is pretty damn embarrassing that I now have to say things were better when I was a kid, those times a virtual Golden Age.
