So I finally got tired of PLEASE SWIPE CARD AGAIN, and signed up for #OMNY . Which meant turning Near Field Communication #NFC on, on my phone, but it has "only when phone is unlocked", which I can live with.
A nice feature.
Eventually we'll all be walking around with dozens of random #ports open all the time, but I can resist a little...

Wanna lil dose of #lgbtq history?
There’s a great new documentary called “NO STRAIGHT LINES” about the #queer comics (like drawings, not standup) of the 70s & 80s on PBS’ Independent Lens, which you can STREAM FOR FREE via the link below. Enjoy! #art #comics #trans #gay #lesbian

Finished Cold People, I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️ A curiously old-fashioned #sciencefiction novel about WHAT IF SCIENTISTS GO TOO FAR??? Now started on something completely different - The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell #AmReading #Books #bookstodon

I'd say avoid it unless you're willing to put a lot of effort into climbing the learning curve; it's famously long and steep. Or if you actively enjoy spreadsheets and long grinds. XD

Anthony James' work with mirrors is amazing. On the surface, the premise is simple: opposing 2-way mirrors in various angles or set parallel, but the effect and execution is incredible
Especially the portals series

The Northern Central Grain Elevator in Baltimore once was the largest grain terminal on the East Coast of the United States. Inside was a maze of pipes and some of the foulest water I've ever encountered, possibly an unholy, decades-old dirt-beer from whatever was left inside.

It's not "scared" to take sensible safety precautions. If they tried a violent insurrection once, they'll try it again. No need to make it easier for them.

Hello. I’ve been a bit sporadic on here recently. Apologies. Posting the Calanais Standing Stones for today’s #PhotoOfTheDay We’ve visited a number of times and are always in awe. Go if you get the chance. They’re older than Stonehenge and you can still touch them.. #Scotland #ScottishHighlandsAndIslands #history #StandingStones #calanais

The Democrats need to better emphasize that Trump hid the stuff and resisted returning it, while everyone else has been "oops, weird, here it is back". A big difference; not big enough for deep Trumpists to notice, but maybe understandable to undecideds / waverings.

#Introduction toot for the two cats that we serve!
Both are sisters that we adopted 12 years ago when they were 1 year old. They’re both #calico but it’s more obvious in Pict.
Celt had pneumonia before she was rescued and so only half of one lung works. last year we thought we’d lose her and had her on an oxygen machine for a long time but she’s still with us! Hobbies: sleeping and expensive food.
Pict is large, loud and fluffy. Hobbies: playing and ALL food.
