Once in a blue moon I stop in to check my Tumblr notifications and it's interesting to see which ones are currently trending. Right now it's my old 2016 post about "Moon Discourse." That was during, like, my heyday in Tumblr discourse involvement.

Anyway, I spend all my social media time now on Bluesky. I talk to myself and gush about my wife.

Geological horror. You find a geode and crack it open and the crystal lining its walls is human blood that can't be genetically matched to anyone. You find a human skeleton but every one of the bones is made from rock, a rock that you know can't be whittled into those shapes. You find layers of clay and loam that sport ancient fossils at the top and the still-rotting corpses of modern animals at the bottom.

anxiety is so insane bc ppl will treat it like it's no big deal, like it's "one of the "easy" mental illnesses" or something, and then you have it and it's insanely debilitating and you lose most of your life and your time and energy to it. yesterday i spent 2 hours sitting in my bed trying to convince myself to go to a water fountain to get some water. one time i got so scared to take a bus i passed out. like sure it's a spectrum and i'm definitely at the more severe end of it but the fact that milder cases exist doesn't mean it's not still a problem? and it doesn't mean that those people aren't struggling too

"The March Madness"

The mating period of European hares starts end of January, beginning of February and ends end of July, beginning of August. The height of the breeding season, is known as "March madness", when the normally nocturnal bucks are forced to be active in the daytime.

Right at the beginning of the hare breeding season, in January, is also the best time to see the constellation Lepus.

A very rough early Spring celebratory sketch I had in mind 💚

Here are also seven feisty hares I photographed a couple years ago. I love them so much. :)

every time i see trad gender roles people being weird about fibercraft i wanna tell them

-medieval and early modern knitting guilds were full of men learning and perfecting fancy knitting techniques to impress rich clients

-in cold, wet climates like the scottish highlands knitting was done by the whole family, in fact it was the perfect activity to do while a man was out on a fishing boat or in the pasture with his sheep and cattle

-men who were away from women for a long time had to know how to knit and sew at least well enough to mend their own clothes. soldiers knitted. sailors knitted. cowboys and frontiersmen knitted. vikings probably knitted (actually they would have been doing a kind of proto knitting called nalbinding, but that's beside the point). all those guys the far right love to treat as ultra masculine heroes were sitting around their barracks and campfires at night darning their socks and knitting themselves little hats
