My favorite thing I did on Bluesky has to be THE LORD OF THE RINGS threads. THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING:

OH THANK GOD.

An HIV expert at the CDC was asked to scrub data on trans people. He quit instead. ->LGBTQ Nation | #cdc #data | More from Lil Dr Glen EcoChat at BigEarthData.ai

Holy shit is it slick outside in the twin cities. Be careful. Walk like a penguin. There is no dry, only ice.

Just to clarify, I also mostly sell books through sales. But I wanted to say from a buyer/reader perspective, our collective sales pricing might be too low by now. Maybe we need to normalize a $1.99 sale. Still not very high, but reflective of the higher price of everything else.

Moved house from Kansas City to St Paul, and doing all kinds of things to take care of and improve the place. Also held a nice gathering for some off our daughters' friends

LESS THAN ONE HOUR UNTIL VOTING CLOSES. SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!!!

This was my favorite article so far today. It made me cry!

How’d they get that big candy cane up there.

I listened to the #audiobook of Lessons in Magic and Disaster and want to shout kudos to the exceptional narrators Lisa Flanagan, Marisa Calin, and Sena Bryer. They didn't merely read, they ACTED! And boy howdy did this book evoke memories of some of my own family's dynamics… #books

ALSO, teach your dogs that dropped items are not fair game! You never want to be racing them to whatever's on the floor now!

Merry Christmas. A greeter complimented my tie and pin ☺️

Merry Christmas Eve from Fred, who is completely out of it already.

Ready for Christmas Eve mass

Oh no, it's cool. Cis+ is the tier where you've actually checked out your other options and said, "oh hey, no, I'm cool with this one, actually."

It's begun 😁 I'm loving this so far

Old Men Complain On Facebook That Starfleet Academy Is Too Woke Because Characters Are “Individuals.” I wish I was making this up. This is some top tier brain rot.

I went to a small-town diner to see what real Americans think, and a group of children, the town's only residents, quickly sacrificed me to He Who Walks Behind The Rows

In the post Civil War South, the racist white Southerners did everything they could to stop Black people from having successful businesses. When they shut down a Black business, the racists would say, "See, they just can't do it!" This is the modern equivalent. www.startribune.com/garbage-soma...

It's true, tho!

gift wrapping tip: if you fold the ends off scotch tape, it makes it easier to unwrap

Gingerbread Joy is black tea and tastes great, really brings that gingerbread taste to me (wife disagrees so YMMV). Ginger Snappish is herbal with lemon and weaker but I still like it #teaSky

quick someone tell me i don’t need it

Please watch this and know what is happening to trans people right now in the US, if you're an ally. Do not ignore it, do not bury your head in the sand, do not give up on us. To do so is deadly. To ignore it is to quietly accept it. youtu.be/KfVE4xyNrO0?...

'As America makes its frightful descent into crude authoritarianism, Balthasar can help us understand why so many American Catholics appear to welcome this descent. He can also help us resist it.'

No joke i think part of the anti-billionaire movement should just be making sure people know that these are the people who killed Joann’s Fabric. That will radicalize millions.

Never thought I'd see a spatchcocked pine.

Also, if you haven't read Ghost Flower by now, you are really missing out.

My Yule Card from @toothandbranch.bsky.social arrived and it's absolutely stunning - I'm gonna need to find a frame for it!

ALSO if you missed last year's free Ghost Flower Yuletide Carol....
