Libraries, software, math, Latin, nonprofit governance, weightlifting, knitting, singing, my cats, Somerville (MA), planes planes planes. Hi! 👋 Skybrarians feed:
I mean look there was this one hot dog in Iceland (iykyk) that they sliced up fancy and fried I guess and topped with cheese and served on a BED OF DORITOS and I would low key fly back to Iceland just for that hot dog
This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone #ProofOfCat
Post your warning sign This is on the path to the spectacular black-sand, basalt-columned Reynisfjara in Iceland. The rest of the country has a remarkable lack of US-style safety/litigiousness culture (slippery stone path behind a waterfall? No signage), so I figured the ocean really would kill me.
I swear, the great molasses flood has about the most extreme “sounds funny/is actually horrifying” ratio possible
TIL that, what with Massachusetts boundaries having moved over the years, the Salem witch trials were actually in Danvers. (Local history trolley tour!!)
Today we learned that the gay train has a special icon on the MBTA Go app. Which is awesome and also has me curious about their metadata.
post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it):
We would like this cat, we say to the shelter. Ok, they say, but you have to also take his best friend or they’ll be sad. Oh no, now we have two cats They are, indeed, best friends 😻
Sometimes the past feels like a foreign country and the gap to other people’s minds unbridgeable and sometimes I am in absolutely no doubt that there exists shared, universal human experience
Objectively the cliffs in the back are giant and looming and the trees in front are few and windblown and small but they are also the well-lit, detailed, alive part, and that feels like the energy I need in 2026
Picking up the present past me got for present me. Didn’t realize it would be autographed!! 😁🎉 @portersqbooks.bsky.social @aptshadow.bsky.social
I am doing HILL INTERVALS in the SNOW and cursing past me for having signed up for a 5k so i can’t skip this
Happened to go past the apartment where Obama lived when he was at Harvard law and saw these cold, greenless bushes and this plaque identifying it as the President Obama rose garden so I guess we’ve still got one rose garden at least
if only we lived in a world where all our news stories could be this weird, instead of the world we actually live in
