@subpopularity.bsky.social i thought you might like this important hummingbird info

The Hummingbird
At dawn he greets the sun. Night falls and he's still at work. He goes buzzing from branch to branch, from flower to flower, quick and necessary like light itself. At times he's doubtful and pauses suspended in the air; at times he flies backward as no one else can.
At times he's a little drunk from all the honey he has sucked. As he flies, he emits flashes of color.
He brings messages from the gods, becomes a bolt of lightning to carry out their vengeance, blows prophecies in the ears of the soothsayers. When a Guaraní child dies, he rescues its soul, which lies in the calyx of a flower, and takes it in his long needle beak to the Land Without Evil. He has known the way there since the beginning of time. Before the world was born, he already existed; he freshened the mouth of the First Father with drops of dew and assuaged his hunger with the nectar of flowers.

He led the long pilgrimage of the Toltecs to the sacred city of Tula before bringing the warmth of the sun to the Aztecs.
As captain of the Chontals, he glides over the camps of the enemy, assesses their strength, dive-bombs them, and kills their chief in his sleep. As the sun of the Kekchis, he flies to the moon, takes her by surprise in her chamber, and makes love to her.
His body is the size of an almond. He is born from an egg no bigger than a bean, in a nest that fits inside a nut. He sleeps with a little leaf as covering.

screen grab of the likes / reposts / saves counts immediately under a post; immediately under that are the repost / like buttons

tinyobscurae@tinyobscurae· Jul 11

didn’t want to keep using screens for instructions on making notebooks so i made a booklet to put them in. the ability to just make a book whenever the hell i feel like it is the greatest thing i have ever learned. this book was not. and now it is

front cover of an A6 notebook with marbled paper full of concentric rings of colour

inside cover with more marbling and the handwritten title page, “case bound books (in a non-case-bound book)”

one of the inside pages with handwritten notes on attaching “intro / outro / endpapers” and “gluing the spine”

tinyobscurae@tinyobscurae· Jul 9

they’re admiring the view

black and white lino print of four hooded figures, one with a tripartite beak, one with their back to us, one facing towards us with just one eye on his forehead, one with a regular beak. in the background is a desert with a mesa and a spire both with stripy wavy lines. underneath text says “we’re admiring the view”

icon that depicts a microscope (i think?) and a spherical flask, both weirdly pink

good

glass fronted office block in late evening pink sky hour, reflecting blue sky with a streak of gold cloud across it, some strip lights glow in the top parts of the window. the building next to it is grimy but somehow magically glowing golden in the light. a single street light shines on the dark edge of another building which frames the picture

can’t believe there’s no automatic emoji suggestion for “haidt can suck it”

screenshot of a text message draft reading “but we can stop talking about it. i’m not gonna read the book. i am currently reading an extremely interesting book about taboos among an indonesian tribe called the huaulu. haidt can suck it imo”. several words and phrases are highlighted as having automatic emoji suggestions but sadly not the last one
