PHOTO BLOG: Earlier this month, a storm chaser from the Netherlands took a wonderful photo showing several textbook ice halos, including a 46-degree halo, a 22-degree halo with parhelion (sun dogs), and an upper tangent arc. https://www.accuweather.com/en/leisure-recreation/live-news/weather-permitting-photo-blog/933860
I see #Tumblr hopping on the #Fediverse train with its recent announcement that they are actively working towards Fediverse integration.
Tumblr, as of late, is going through a bit of a revival. At the helm is its new CEO, Matt #Mullenweg. Mullenweg is also the CEO of #Automattic and founder of #WordPress. Through his leadership he is revitalizing the platform, not only addressing long standing issues but launching new features. (🧵👇)

I don’t understand how you get any kind of engagement on #Tumblr? I thought hashtags would work and liking other people’s posts and following them, but practically the only people engaging are spam bots.
Alright folks, let's do an #introduction. I'm a big old #nerd who loves #gaming in many forms. I love #reading #books and watching #movies #tv and #anime. I work in #healthcare and basically shoot lasers at people. I'm living that #momlife and liking it a lot more than I thought I would. Part of the #twitterexodus and a refugee from the #hellsite #tumblr. Feel free to follow but don't expect coherence

I'm popular on #tumblr! So many young women of the form FirstnameLastnameDigits have been following me!
Odd none of them post anything. Must be a tumblr thing...

Excellent! And I assume you've probably seen (not that it's the same thing!) https://youtube.com/@AskAMortician
A swift #introduction for anyone who is new here - I’m Dr Dan O’Brien, historian of undertakers, funerals and death in eighteenth century England. I can often be found talking about early undertakers or researching their ephemera. I also enjoy sharing mourning jewellery, cemetery trips and other death-related items from history such as this striking rosary bead. Hopefully you will join me for more adventures in death history! #MementoMori #history #histodons #cemetery #twittermigration

Buried history. MI6 was approached by Russian intelligence in London in 2000 for help getting Putin elected in imminent elections. MI6 agreed and sent PM Tony Blair to attend opera with Putin in St Petersburg. I got Blair's briefing notes for the trip. 👇

I graduated the year before. :D And, yeah, really anything after that is just Adulthood, and therefore recent, right?
@mastobit
I'm still not used to it being the '90s, tbh.
@toplesstopics
Aye, I am always reluctant to websearch for recipes for this very reason; the incentive is so great to waste so much of the visitor's time with ads and popups and scrolling that they just barely but not quite give up and go elsewhere.
So I always go to Joy and our ancient smudged index cards first, despite them being made of atoms and long out of date. :D
Incredibly satisfying read. Fuck all these assholes who crowned themselves the Savers of Society without asking any of the rest of us what we wanted even once https://ez.substack.com/p/moving-fast-and-breaking-things

Note that this does include an extended plug by Bart Ehrman for one of his (many) courses. Which is fine, really, but fair warning.
Are you having trouble parsing through your Gmail for purchase receipts and order shipments because advertisements conveniently include those keywords?
Did you already build a massive filter for known subject lines like me but need a hand in keeping up with new ones around the holiday season?
TIL category:purchases exists, and it gets you a long way.
Linda reviews "Librarian" by Brian fence, Lenna's Arc book 1: "Twenty-two-year-old Lenna Faircloth lives with her dad, a clockworks craftsman... I enjoyed the story. Betrayal, lies, secrets, magic and political intrigue all rear their ugly heads while Lenna tries to survive it all. This is just the beginning of Lenna’s journey. I look forward to the second book in the series! Four stars."
