You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

Around 2007 I was running the tech side of a site called Illustration Friday, created by @penelope-dullaghan.bsky.social. We’d post a weekly topic and artists would submit illustrations for it. Our sysadmin noticed we were getting a lot of unusual activity from a single IP address located in Iran. 🧵

This tariff situation is such a bleak day for the board game industry - my heart goes out to anyone currently wrestling with how to keep their business running. My emails are open if you want to get in touch with how you’ve been affected, and what you plan to do next: [email protected] ❤️

A highlight was getting to see so many sandhill cranes; they've always been a favorite of mine, and not something I see often in PA.

Morning. Happy New Year.
A while ago I ran a series of daily tweets about birdsong. The idea was to encourage people to pay attention to the natural sounds around them, and learn to identify birds from their sounds alone (which, after all, is often the only clue you get to their presence).

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.
Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.
