The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

I am still reeling from the surprise and joy. So, this happened. Wolf's Path is an award finalist for Best Collection in the 2026 British Fantasy Awards. Many grateful thanks to @atthisarts.com and @britfantasysoc.bsky.social ❤️

haven't re-upped this thing in a minute. Check it out. go.bsky.app/VaypaqC

omg y'all this is finally available as an audiobook! the UBL below has a few links, but it should (eventually) be up most places audiobooks are sold! (but not amazon or spotify, sorry) when i don't feel like walking into the sea i'll do a proper post lol books2read.com/u/bpVEQ6

okay perimenopause pals, tell me everything i need to know about dealing with rosacea caused by peri. most of the usual triggers don't apply to me 🙃

everything's a lot, but i think this silly little book centring queer joy and fighting for what (and who) you love is a light in the dark we're all going to need 🌈📚 #booksky #romancelandia #QueerAdultSFF books2read.com/u/bpVEQ6 vriccithode.itch.io/the-dragon-n...

this place is *full* of opinions and not one of you wants to tell me what to do with this fucking rosacea? i'm about to use a cheese grater on my face omfg

wtf are they vibe coding the place into the ground again? nothing wants to post

wtf i just had like 100 accounts out of nowhere follow me all with some sort of pet (cat or dog) as the profile pic. are you all real???

This expression means "why is nobody letting Bagel sleep???" #DailyDoggo

Do you know who else made people uncomfortable? The suffragettes

TGIDO (thank goodness it's dog o'clock)

wow an open call for advice on the internet and no takers?? 🤯

I'm a trans person, and if that makes you feel icky I really don't care. Our rights are not worth less than your discomfort. The world does not belong to you & the idea that you can dictate our ability to exist and move freely reveals an entitled cowardice that you should be ashamed of

i'm too apathetic to look it up but i've got to assume that the suicide rates among perimenopausal women are pretty high. it's neat how we're expected to just suck it up and treated like this is all no big deal 🚮

my clothesline and dryer are both unusable, the weather is the fucking worst, my house is infested with spiders, my publishing attempts keep getting derailed by abject stupidity, and perimenopause can eat shit and die. it's going great over here!

goooood morning it is cool but bright and warming up fast, and we ran into uncle Steve (old friend/newer neighbor) - who joined us for part of our loop - so yes, of course: Lucy Loved That Walk

Asbestos is here to stay. We need to stop fearmongering about asbestos and start finding the ways that asbestos can be used ethically and to support our causes. Naysayers need to realize that this technology is inevitable.

okay re: avi's food safety thing. agreed entirely! BUT you maybe can algorithm your way into avoiding a listeria outbreak? this is exactly the thing my spouse's employer is doing with the non-evil AI. but, uh, that shit also needs funding, so yeah.

2/ Thanks to the @agricultureunion.bsky.social for sounding the alarm. It was a pleasure meeting VP Patrick St-Georges last week. Now tell Prime Minister Carney to reverse the cuts and stop putting profit over our health: foodsafetyfirst.ca

1/ PM Carney’s public service cuts are dismantling food safety in Canada. From food inspectors to agricultural researchers, the government is abandoning workers and the public interest. And tech won’t save us: you can’t algorithm your way out of a listeria outbreak!

omg i'm so tired. so much bookfair stuff to do. and the weather is trying to kill me. and my dryer died and so did the clothesline so that's been LOTS of fun. but i finished writing a flash fic about the struggle of maintaining joy despite *gestures at everything* #WeeknightWriters

since I accidentally helped kick off this horrifying realization for so many, please let me pass along a link where you can yell about it.

This is Bear, Australia's most famous koala detection dog. After a decade of service, he's retiring. He's located hundreds of injured or displaced koalas after forest fires. We're told his retirement will be filled with rest, cuddles, and maybe a little mischief. 15/10

it's dog o'clock

Lusi can see ghosts. And that’s only the beginning of her problems. In this queer MG fantasy novel, she joins her sister, a ghost girl and some dragons on an adventure halfway across the world to learn about her unusual magic. 🌈📚 books2read.com/u/b6J2E0 vriccithode.itch.io/the-young-ne...

severely limiting my social media time (most of the posts you see here were scheduled) and then joining a maker space and *making* stuff and gardening with all that spare time have done my mental health *wonders* and i get to meet cool new people

This pup was absolutely not digging in the dirt. Everybody knows that would require a permit. Thinks you have a whole lot of nerve accusing him of breaking municipal laws with no evidence. 12/10 (IG: san_francisco_rott)

Someone is ready for his walk and is being subtle about it.

People who’ve been laid off aren’t victims of a natural disaster. Their story has a villain. They don’t need your pity, they need your help plotting revenge.

the horrors persist, but so does dog o'clock
