Hello! Hopefully you haven't gotten too many messages about this but: it looks like something's happening with your twitter account? Weird retweets happening. If it is just you, then sorry for calling your retweets weird!

oof thanks for the heads up! appears as though i've been hacked on that dying site. changed my password and deleted the retweets.

i've tentatively made accounts mastodon and bluesky under augustbird but not sure where or when the mass migration is gonna happen. i've also been uhhhh under a rock with regards to fandom as surgical residency is Hard and Time Consuming (who knew) so haven't been much on social media anyway :( on a lighter rotation now so poking around a bit more but haven't found a new Compelling Thing yet. anyone have recs??

The Full Moon and the Dancer : On Monday, January’s Full Moon rose as the Sun set. Spotted near the eastern horizon, its warm hues are seen in this photo taken near Cagliari, capital city of the Italian island of Sardinia. Of course the familiar patterns of light and dark across the Moon’s nearside are created by bright rugged highlands and dark smooth lunar maria. Traditionally the patterns are seen as pareidolia, giving the visual illusion of a human face like the Man in the Moon, or familiar animal like the Moon rabbit. But for a moment the swarming murmuration, also known as a flock of starlings, frozen in the snapshot’s field of view lends another pareidolic element to the scene. Some see the graceful figure of a dancer enchanted by moonlight. via NASA
