Ah I'm now realizing I should have just used this as my #NewToBluesky introductory post...

This is Aldo. He is a good boy. But also... a bad boy. 13/10
a photo taken through a glass door into a store. there are several stickers on the glass, including a big round one depicting a dachshund’s silhouette behind a big international “No” sign, a red circle with a diagonal cross through it. just inside the store, a little black dachshund is sitting perfectly still on the tile, oriented exactly the same way as the dog on the sticker and directly underneath it. he’s a rebel, and you can’t tell him what to do.

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Storage (in increasingly angrier shades of yellow): I am 98% full and 97% of it is seemingly identical sunset photos all taken within the last 6 months since you moved to Vancouver.
Me: Hmm, yes, I see. Thank you. But also this one has fireworks.

Photograph of one large blue and one small yellow firework exploding over the beach at sunset and reflecting in the water.

Photograph of an empty concrete footpath on the left side of a bridge leading into downtown Vancouver. There is a teal blue railing on the left, a teal blue lamppost in the centre, and the skyscraper buildings in the background are covered in a layer of clouds.

While this cartoon is probably referencing a particular activist group in the UK, it tends to hold true for others, protesting different issues non violently around the world.
Cartoon. A woman holds a placard reading “Stop Killing People” as two men wearing suits walk past, one says “bloody extremists”.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

Photograph of the blazing orange sun setting behind rows of blue cascading mountains. There is water in the foreground, with silhouetted trees and boats off to the left and a bright strip of sunlight reflecting in the water in the centre.

to the plane, the pilot is tiny
to the reservoir, the plane is tiny
to the fire, the reservoir is tiny
and still—
the pilot brings the plane
to the reservoir
the reservoir
to the fire
and the fire turns

we were born shouting
our petitions to the bigness
only one demand:
let me stay

"we’re asking our cultural institutions to carry an incredible load—educate the public, preserve heritage, support reconciliation, welcome tourists, keep up with technology—all while dealing with underfunding, burnout, and aging infrastructure. And through all that? They keep showing up." 👏🏻🛠️✨

When studies show nine out of ten Canadians say museums matter – why don’t we fund them like they do?

Photograph of a small sculpture of a figure welded together with lots of tiny intricate pieces of turquoise metal. The figure is bolted onto a concrete pillar, and facing out towards a harbour, with a horizon lined with skyscrapers, and a bright orange sun bursting through the clouds in the distance.

Photograph of a rugged rock formation on a steep mossy hill in a dense forest. Set into the side of the rock is a very small, dark green, wooden door. Laid out in front of the door is a small round stone painted to look like a lady bug, a reddish brown leaf, and tiny potion bottle.

Greetings from cherry blossom season! 🌸☁️✨

#WishYouWereHere #CherryBlossom #Spring #Flowers #PNW #Photography #NaturePhotography #NatureIsLit #BloomScrolling
A very close up photograph of a soft pink cherry blossom flower, half open, and a smaller, new, not yet opened bud next to it, with a sprig of bright green leaves, all clustered together in focus in the center of the photo and sticking out of a silhouetted tree trunk on the right hand side of the photo. In the background, behind the flowers, an out of focus, blurry, and almost abstract pattern of dark pink cherry blossoms and tree branches is layered over a soft blue and white sky.
