I wonder if I can find somewhere to set alerts for auroral activity?

Apparently if you drive a bit away from light pollution you can see the aurora tonight but it's probably already too late for me to head out. Aw.

Related phrase: social media backscatter, when everyone is talking *about* a breaking news item or post or something but nobody is actually referencing it directly. Happens more on bird site than on here, thankfully.

Social media interferometry: taking vague or oblique posts by two or more different connected people and using the wave pattern produced between them to try and figure out what probably just happened.

not a response to anything going on right now, just a cute phrase I came up with a while ago :)

@alyx@witches.town I love that movie. Hadn't seen that abbreviation though.

@alyx@witches.town The first half is almost entirely dramatically shot scenes of people panicking and running away, and the second is people hiding and being scared. Succeeds pretty well as an action movie but probably not much more than that.

Dear job ad posters: please don't say "seattle" when you mean "federal way", or worse yet "olympia".

A video just referred to 2005 War of Worlds as a 9/11 film and while I totally didn't pick up on that at the time (hey, I was a young teenager) it seems staggeringly obvious now.

Part of me kinda wants to re-watch it in that light.

@memnus@octodon.social That sounds lovely! When should I head over?

Hmm. No plans for this evening. Maybe I should watch Moana?

Oh snap Provenance (the newest book by Anne Leckie, set in the Ancillary universe) dropped today! :D

hrt question 

@blackle@dev.glitch.social Maybe if you're changing doses or just starting or something, but if things feel stable to you that's a somewhat aggressive schedule. Not super uncommon but also not something everyone thinks is necessary.
