If you are posting pictures of the eclipse, please know that the Diné (Navajo) and possibly other cultures (according to the comments on last.real.indians's post) are forbidden from looking at them before or after the eclipse.

So for Instagram: Put two pictures before your eclipse picture because sometimes Instagram refreshes and the second image pops up. Don't post it to your stories either because then the warning one will expire before the actual posts.

On Tumblr: Put them after a cut fully warning eclipse pictures are below it.

On Twitter and Bluesky: Honestly probably best to avoid posting them all together, even if you know how to do that "sensitive content" thing because it still has the picture there,oy blurred.

i did a fair amount of research away from BPD yesterday. instead, i looked a little into the surface of cluster A and cluster C. i saw some familiar terms, and had a minor (read: several) self-diagnosis freak out, but overall was pretty satisfied with the new information i learned.
