The Minnesota EagleCam is back this week. π¦
Dr Oz?? Really?
Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.
Any pharmacists, Pass through PBMs , health care professionals out there ? Time to grow the industry and take on big PBMs right here !
Western USA about to be hit with a bomb cyclone and very slow moving atmospheric river. The AR is forecast to make landfall for 72 hours! Expect big rainfall totals ββ
I've added a few great people!
Thanks to all the amazing librarians on Bluesky I am currently walking into my local library that I have never visited despite living in this town for seven years.

Given people are actually interacting on here (madness), please could you give me your recommendations for the best legal thrillers (books, film, drama)? Iβve already read/seen loads but I need more.
I'm not quite sure if you're needing a belfry or a batting cage! Depends on the size of the bag, I suppose :)
Anna, I don't see anyone mentioning the many books and short stories of Erle Stanley Gardner, best known for Perry Mason. Love the Cool & Lam series (read the first one first if possible).
Time for my daily overshare!
I was a ghostwriter for a long time. Long enough to have written 20 books no one will ever know came from me.
Today is the first day that I havenβt had an edge of guilt connecting with other writers.
Iβm not a fraud. Iβm a goddamned published author, & I did it my way
Here's a list of the political scientists working on climate I could find on here. Let me know if I missed you!

I'm still very lost on here. The poets have organized and gathered, but with my weird threads and random interests on twitter. This starter pack is an attempt to include some of those names, though many are missing. Just a messy attempt.π
We need a book twitter list too?

Perhaps the CEO of this company is not the person we want fiddling with government agencies and regulations.
Hello friendos
Your librarian here with today's library tip
Check out both the Libby and Hoopla app. Both offer ebooks and e-audiobooks. You don't need a Kindle to use them, you can read or listen on your phone, computer, and are compatible with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
Look Iβm just a girl with a PhD and some data who testifies to legislative committees full of men who tell me CO2 is plant food and the climateβs always changing and now you want me to stand up for pasteurized milk, Darwin, and the germ theory of disease? Sure. But youβre gonna need more biologists.
I like that people introduce themselves here. I'm an author & journalist in Glasgow. I've written books on graveyards & churches, & am busy writing a new one that I'm looking forward to sharing. I enjoy: standing stones, fallen leaves, old records, old books & an old rabbit of whom I have the care.
A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.
Mountain-like structures of gas and dust jut upwards into space. Mostly brown with glowing orange regions, these structures narrow as they grow taller, with jets of gas seen at their tips. The nebulous background of space glows in shades of blue and violet, with a few pink stars scattered throughout.
An image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, which appears as an orange donut shape with a dark center. At the edges of the black hole are fine lines.

itβs such a beautiful thing that we as humans can see things like this in space thanks to machines we made on earth

I'm writing down some aviation history, "connecting the dots" so to speak.
It's up!!!! My Explainer video for BlueSky beginners.
I cover how to find your Twitter followers, Starter Packs, Feeds, Lists, some handy-dandy tools, and BlueSky etiquette.
Please watch and/or share with any newbies you know. I think it's helpful.

βYesterday I visited my son's school and I saw a bright colored bench in the yard. I asked if it was new.
He said to me, β²β²no, that's the βfriendβs bench.β When someone is down, they'll sit there so others find them."
To me, thatβs how finding Bluesky feels.
Follow us if youβd like a friend! π

I just learned that Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. An alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform (and yes it's really easy to transfer your lists from Goodreads to StoryGraph). You know, while we're moving things.
Yup.
Do any of you also read four books simultaneously or do you have your life in order

Public library attacks are coming to your local library. Get a card & use it, or you might just lose it.
I don't know who needs to hear this, everyone I think, but if you send a PDF to your kindle and put 'convert' as the subject it will change it to epub format for you, you're welcome
(I posted this on the other place and was surprised by how many people it helped so thought I'd do it here too.)
Hello! Nice to see you here. Some of our journalists are here, too! Check them out.
