Shirakaba-chan is a white birch tree from the town of Sakuho in Nagano, Japan.

I am shopping for a rug in the year of our lord 2025 and are there any grays or browns anymore or is everything just grown and bray

Look around Leaves are brown There's a Brus-sels sprout on the ground

I come here for family content

Absolutely egregious from the people who bought the three oldest magazines in SFF and are attempting to convert them into a giant funnel of monetizable IP

None of this is industry naivete

SFWA should revoke their qualifying status if they don’t go back to reasonable contracts…

Have you seen this, @joannechocolat.bsky.social @societyofauthors.bsky.social? This is important information for authors who routinely sell short stories. I'm sure more than one person has signed one of these contracts without fully appreciating the significance of "alleged" vs. "sustained"

Bad. Ass.

sometimes an insult is simultaneously so targeted and so uncalled for that it just straight-up unmoors you from reality, like the brief liminal space you inhabit when you hit your head. I think this is that

Goodnight from Joe Waterfield, dismissing his sighting of Corpse Friars’ lanterns as a sign he drank too much at The Windlass pub. Goodnight from William Heywall up at Palefire Farm, writing a petition to the Field Sprite to amend the terms of its blood tithe. Goodnight from Hookland.

sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure

oh that's weird, Betraybo, my cursed blade that glows before witnessing a huge betrayal, is glowing

the real question is what tony nominee will be found throwing a hoagie on elsbeth this january

Very normal sketchbook day thanks

Good morning✨

In awe at the size of this lad.

25.00 popcorn 9.00 soft drinks screaming kids and everyone on their phone during the movie. I can buy the movie for 20.00 and watch at home.

KELPIE KNOCK IT OFF

- i miss the nights we trembled like cobwebs in a tree. the crinkling crispness of the autumn air, the leaves gamboling down the street, each of us a jack-o-lantern lit from within, smiling wryly, secrets safe and decaying, greeting another moonless Halloween. - #vss365 #poetry #read

What’s making me happy today… It feels like there is no out and Joy is important. #JoyIsResistance

Stares in Gen X

here’s to all my girlies who keep their visions to themselves ✨🔮

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

My eyes

So I dropped the egg carton on the floor and I had to do something

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

Still slaps too

Journalist trials are rare. Usually prosecutors come to their senses and drop these cases. In normal times this would be national news.

If I played saxophone, I'd be playing the opening riff of "Baker Street" all day every day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo6a...

Seth Rogan has said similar things too. Basically that if you want to be funny, you need to change with the times, not complain that a joke you made 20 years ago didn't age well

Smoke-dried mummies > salt-cured mummies you guys apple.news/AQOKhVN4dReK...

Yes yes but he said it calmly while wearing a button down shirt. So truly who can say if it was bad.

I got verbally smacked after a certain basketball player died when I mentioned he was a rapist, like his accidental death erased anything bad he had done. :-( Yes, so can still feel sad for people who cared for him, but his victim/crime isn't magically erased because he died.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Look at that eyeball alien making plans within plans

Oh. So *that’s* what wuthering means.

Maybe y’all don’t recognize this form factor, but I do. This is a reporter’s notebook. www.theverge.com/news/769005/...

I was in the courtroom when a DHS lawyer tried to argue that filming ICE equals encouraging incitement of violence. A) Press didn't do that. B) He denied DHS did things we caught on video. Which ... proves why press needs to film police/ICE/DHS. Thanks for making our point for us, DHS lawyer!

And maybe some pitchforks.

Video recording police isn’t the equivalent of throwing a Molotov cocktail at them, no matter what Kristi Noem says.

Apropos of nothing I really miss the original Rogue

Just imagine what is being saved for the book this week.
