@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialA material already inside modern electronics was hiding a rare trick.
Nebraska researchers found that hafnium oxide is inherently antiferroelectric — a property that could eventually help with energy storage, memory and cooling technologies.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialI’m not outwardly religious, but Francis of Assisi strikes me as someone whose basic message travels well beyond the church:
Live simply. Make peace. Care for people. Pay attention to the natural world.
In light of current events those aren’t bad instructions.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialThis feels like a landscape remembered through color instead of detail.
Beautiful abstract watercolor work from Ehko.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialAs we settle into autumn, I just wanted to say thank you.

Here’s to cooler air, changing leaves, and plenty more good ruckus ahead!
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialNo pattern. No paint. Just thread.
Gemma Matthews’ “Into the Unknown” is completely freehand stitched, and the closer you look, the more the foliage seems to pull you into the scene.
A tiny world built one stitch at a time.

Tiny sparrows, enormous autumn color, and that quiet feeling that the whole season is bigger than you are.
Beautiful watercolor by Rachel Toll.

@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialA crested gecko, rendered one tiny stitch at a time.
The colors, the leaf, the little curved body — this is such a lovely piece of cross-stitch work from Bobblin Goblin.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialFor three decades, Building Bridges of Asheville has created space for difficult conversations across lines of race, experience, and perspective.
Sometimes community begins with the willingness to sit down, listen, and stay in the room.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialWhen pumpkin spice and cuffing season collide!
Saw this at the local Harris Teeter yesterday evening and, in my opinion, nothing says autumn romance like nutmeg, clove, and questionable life choices…
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialShe started a diaper drive at seven years old.
Five years later, that effort helped deliver nearly 30,000 diapers to families in need through Nourish Phoenix.
Small acts have a funny way of growing.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialThe longer you look at Maryanne Chisholm’s “The Grand Cathedral in Barcelona,” the more details start revealing themselves.

Jim Musil’s “Tofino Sky” feels like the whole landscape is moving at once.

An astonishing level of trust. And patience.
