Dropkick Murphys finish up their set at a benefit show across from Alex Pretti Memorial: “We’ll never forget what we saw with our own eyes, we’ll never forget what we’ve seen here today. thank we’ve seen here today. Thank you all for allowing us to come bear witness with you, thank you Minnesota!”.
birdcast map of live bird migration on 6 March 2026 at 17:30 eastern, showing a heat map of birds detected by active radar stations. The colors are still very dim blue and purple, for low migration, but that's 13.8 million birds in flight over Texas and the Mississippi flyway, including Ohio but especially the gulf coast.
Heard some songbird flight calls as I walking my dog just now and told myself I was imagining it because the 76F/24C weather today was making me dream of late April (there were 3 inches of snow on the ground on Monday)
but Birdcast estimates we've got 13.8M migrating birds up right now

Everything sucks. Here's a bird with a peanut.
A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable
Made it to Friday but at what cost
@justinevdl.bsky.social just joined Bluesky. Give her a follow and preorder UNREASONABLE WOMEN immediately. An extraordinary book everyone will be talking about this year.
it's only a question of which destroys them first: Bostonians, or Boston
As someone who grew up in the area, I can't help but note that "hip" is code for "gentrifying"
A crow with a lot of its black chest feathers missing exposing the white downy feathers underneath. What is is strange is that the crow moulted last year and emerged looking exactly the same
Those bastards have nicknamed me the burst pillow!

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”
a public utility does not need to turn a profit. this is intentional.

Sneak peek at one of the beauties coming to @peculiarityshop.bsky.social this spring!
At the very least correctly frame it as “he cheated but we worked it out” because that sure feels like what happened here
Anyway people come back from all kinds of betrayals and violations and if she’s happy that’s what matters, but if you are publicly telling a story about coming into your own as polyamorous, please redact the shit that’s going to give abusers more tools to violate and exploit their victims
Martin: But then there comes a point where you can't avoid it. Tell me about the moment you found out that Aham was dating someone else. West: 2019, I find out that someone who knew what Aham looked like had seen him kissing someone at a bar. I went home, and we talked for the rest of the night, and at this point he had sort of come to the conclusion that we couldn't resolve this, which is why he went ahead and started dating this person. Because I had been gone. I had refused to talk to him about it. And I had technically agreed to be non-monogamous.
I’m reading the transcript of Lindy West talking about how she loves being poly now and this bit is just 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨for me www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/p...
Being #autistic feels like the culture shock of visiting a foreign country where you don’t speak the language fluently…except it lasts our entire lives & we can’t escape it by returning home.
so many problems both like Societally Big and literal just person-to-person interaction for me are rooted in the other person being deeply uncurious
i don't know how to teach people to be more curious but i think that's what we desperately need
Deleted a post. Had a downright dehumanizing interaction this evening and feeling a way. The autistic urge to completely disappear is strong right now.

Anecdotally, I've been in the same place in Chicago for 10 years, and the window condensation has been significantly worse than ever this winter. I'm actually going to check for mold when I get home since some of my windows stay covered most of the winter.
Me: apologizing for apologizing for apologizing
That senator from Montana: oh, you’re a veteran? Let me break your arm.
Everyone, the arm-breaker Tim Sheehy in question is not *this* 👇 Tim Sheehy.
Please tag with care so he doesn’t catch strays!
What on earth 🤯
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
📸 Me, I will continue to have a terminal case never shutting up about the place I've lived just shy of 15 years now. Oh and photographing it. I'll never stop photographing it. #Chicago #photography
this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop
a bit of good news, and reason to smile this evening.
A wild cottontail rabbit is lying down in a lounging position on short grass in a backyard. The bunnie’s ears are pointed sky high.
Yard bunny says “Try not to let bad things by bad people get you down”.
By the by, I just noticed that this yard bunny has very fluffy front feets !
