Ok Bluesky, let’s give this a go: I found this postcard in the back of a photo frame I bought at a London thrift shop.

It’s an unsent postcard from a woman called Linda to her parents. The front shows the Kremlin in Moscow and the stamp says 1984 (!).

I’d love to return it to Linda - can you help?

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

I think I take this same photo next to our drive every year. Leaves from the sugar maple and silver maple on our front yard.

📌This Ontario, Canada, commercial is the truth, sheer brilliance, and should spread like wildfire across the United States.
Ontario launches $75 million ad campaign using the words of Ronald Reagan to argue against tariffs.

When the far right invents or exaggerates bad behaviour by their foes - see ‘cancel culture’; threats to free speech; anti-fascist violence; financial corruption; cronyism etc - they do so to preemptively excuse their own far worse & blatant abuses in exactly the same spaces.

The ice cream truck in our neighbourhood, no doubt as sick of "La Cucaracha" as the rest of us, is touring around and around warbling out Christmas carols. The heat has broken another of us, apparently.

Yes. In November 2024, Cuomo joined Dershowitz's legal team to defend Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant from war crime charges.

Given all we know and see every day, this should be a much bigger deal, if you ask me.

Came out to our screened gazebo to find 6 of these cicada exuviae, the skins shed by larvae after they emerge from their time underground.

That's a pretty mushroom, likely a White Dunce Cap or Milky Conecap, scientifically known as Conocybe apala. #mushroom #fungi

Sharing with the #SciArt Feed:
(And yes the SciArt Feed can be "political"—science and art both reflect political facets of society.)
Be safe out there today.
