"I stepped on a goat; that's what that sound was". #JustNormalSkyrimThings

Wytheville, VA. (I used to live in WNC and drive north to NY or DC somewhat regularly. I learned very quickly to never stop for gas or snacks in Wytheville, because every time I did, some slightly weird/mildly annoying stuff would happen. Some kind of curse.)

[The images are of a Townsend's big-eared bat in flight. The tall ears are probably about half the size of its body. In the left image, the bat is sticking out its tongue, which is very cute]

Seconded.

Happy Mother’s Day 🖤

MFW I have to attend a required party

When is a bum not a bum? This dimpled pink flesh is a peach, but also a bum... 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Or it's a Chinese Qing Dynasty Fencai porcelain from about 1720, from the British Museum 🍑 There's a whole chapter of bums that aren't bums in our book uk.bookshop.org/p/books/muse... 😁

I've never been all that interested in the X Files' main storyline (and in fact I forget all about it soon after watching it, every time), but the Monster of the Week episodes are some of my favorite TV.

Star Trek IV, except what I want is not so much a remake as an augmentation in the style of the DS9 episode "Trials and Tribble-ations" like, someone nefarious is going back in time to interfere with the whale mission, but the Lower Decks crew also goes back in time to make sure it succeeds

Are you ever so deep in thought in the shower that you forget which parts you've already washed?

I pray the tomb is shut forever. I pray the rock is never rolled away. I pray that which was buried remains buried, insensate, in perpetual rest with closed eye and stilled brain. I pray it lives, I pray it sleeps.

Too dark for selfies inside, so here's me looking excited outside the bat habitat :p 🦇

You say as if this not a perfectly acceptable, and respectable, outfit…

In honour of Star Wars Day, I'm once again sharing one of my favourite articles I've been part of, where @animalarchaeology.com and I wrote about archaeology, heritage, and politics in and outside of the Star Wars universe 🏺 #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

Who is y'all's favorite Skyrim spouse? 😀

I love swinging wildly between needing the AC on and needing the heat on.

( @lotje.bsky.social watching Tales From the Crypt) “Seems a little intense for children.” “Oh this wasn’t actually meant for kids.” “But the puppet’s so cute!” 💜 💜 💜

Today is trash day, so I bagged up all the trash and took it to the trash can outside. Maybe half an hour later, I was scrolling my feed & suddenly realized I'd thrown the trash in and walked back inside without taking the can out to the street so I had to go back out and do that. How is your brain?

If I were in a throuple, our Halloween costumes for this year would be sorted. (Yes, I am just now watching that show for the first time :P )

I wish I could explain to you how much I like custard. (I do not have any custard. I was just thinking about custard. As one does.)

Happy Alien Day!!!

If dresses could talk what might this half mourning gown say? Its vibrancy suggests a stage of life emerging from the etiquette of c19th grief, somebody constrained by respectability but only just. I hope she moved on to even brighter things. Mid 1890s @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

"My husband might be overcompensating a bit after he shoved me off that mountain" #JustNormalSkyrimThings

I don’t make art much anymore but I painted this a few months ago. It was even accepted for display in a gallery for a bit! Anyway I’m sharing something light in a dark world. #art #bats

For the uninitiated, by "earbrow" I mean those hard-to-shave head hairs behind the ear. (I did not coin this. Someone said it to me ~25 years ago when I had a particularly messed-up looking one; it made me laugh and I put it into regular use :P)

I just discovered that I have 3 earbrow hairs I've missed during the last several shaves... The reason I discovered this is that they are now long enough to stick out from behind my ear. 😩

Each of us has a different definition and experience of what love is. A lot of problems deal with how our version of love doesn't align with other people's version of love.

Hear ye, hear ye! 📯 The Medieval Fest on Steam has officially begun, and Scriptorium is joining the festivities! ✨ let's celebrate the best time period together! Link below 👇

Which of the Skyrim towns would you choose to live in? (I mean regardless of the houses available in the game; let's say you get to build your dream house). I've always been kinda partial to Solitude, but that carved wood aesthetic in Whiterun is really nice and cozy. Def. not 1 of the frozen ones.
