#queen_tiger_tabby would rather have her picture taken than watch @kerbloom.bsky.social ice a gingerbread house.

Had an aha moment at sword practice tonight. Slight hand position change and suddenly reaped multiple benefits. Feel silly that I hadn’t ’got it’ before now. 🤦‍♂️⚔️⚔️⚔️🙌 #hema #f3swordacademy

This guy. This fuckin' guy This redneck nepo baby shows up at the 11th hour, hasn't done any of the work, but he's friends with the princess and got some afterschool tutoring with Space Gandalf and now he's got ideas. It's simple. We just blow up the Death Star. It'll be like shooting womp rats

The teen had wanted to have a tree for the winter holiday for awhile, and while I don’t necessarily need a tree I have a LOT of ornaments from my childhood. So my beloved found this tree on a curb earlier this year and now here it is with the softest ornaments in case the cat wants to dance with it.

Queen Tiger, Attorney at Law 🤣

Loved this pic of two of my teammates. I’ve been healing for over 1-1/2 months now. Looking forward to coming back to swords tomorrow. ⚔️ #hema

Sad to hear Dave Ball of #Softcell no longer with us. Was performing and writing to the very end!

In that pre-birthday holiday push to get everything at work done I can before taking tomorrow off. That weird moment of joy and panic. #eattreatsworkworkworkeattreatsworkworkwork

All lanes Ashby blocked at Telegraph due to car hitting power pole. No power in the area. #berkeley @berkeleyside @berkeleyscanner

Printing presses kept their letters in cases. Capital letters went in the upper case. Smaller letters went in the lower case. This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’ Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press? MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

NYC 9th Ave. Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Company. Recommend the signature Qamaria latte. Will be back to try other drinks.

This news came out last night and I’m not sure how widely it’s been reported so here it is again: 5th circuit court rules patrons have no first amendment right to information (aka “freedom to read”). This directly contradicts well established precedent. www.statesman.com/story/news/p...

Discovered this library today while I was trying to avoid the drizzle of NYC. I was blown away by how large the biography/autobiography/memoir collection was. Probably good that I don’t live in NYC 🤣 They also have multiple jigsaw puzzles going that folks can just walk up and work on. #nypl #booksky

Yesterday, went down to Redwood City to participate in Fight Day with my F3 Fighting Club and Tosetti Institute. TI is closing up current ops (Sounds like plans in place for next iteration tbd). Wanted to take shots of fights or folks but felt weird so took two pics of gear instead. #hema #F3

Looking nervously at @charliejane.bsky.social and @annaleen.bsky.social while reading this one. @transgenderreport.com @cherylmorgan.bsky.social www.them.us/story/swords...
