This is Jade. She just met the biggest dogs she's ever seen. But quickly learned they have the biggest hearts too. 13/10 for all (TT: catimtins.pscal)

COSIGN!

I have read all 3 books. The first one is OK - because DRAGONS. A goodly amount of sex, too. The following 2 are forgettable until the last 1/3. The third book was a sidequest with sidequests. Not reading anything further.

Funny how we've become Argentina. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE

WDAV, Classical Public Radio, is highlighted in our trade magazine "Current" for providing unique opportunities to build community around classical music. As Assoc Content Director, I'm proud of our efforts taking classical where you don't normally hear it. WDAV.org current.org/2025/09/how-...

Yup

Anyone recalling wall-to-wall coverage of Obama speaking at the UN? I remember Obama couldn't get airtime for an important speech at the end of his term. The craven stupidity of the media will kill us all.

Max loves helping fold Laundry almost as much as He likes looking more stylish than I ever could wearing my shorts ….

Theres nothing a white man can do that disqualifies him from politics anymore. This human slime-mold had his baby-mama mistress working at the governor's mansion for TEN FUCKING YEARS

Timeline Cleanse

Same guy who told you to take horse dewormer, drink bleach, and shine a light up your butt to get rid of COVID. tRump is the same guy who only eats junk food, speaks incoherent babble, wears a diaper, shambles when he walks, and has a weird thing going on with his hand. Ya know, HEALTHY

We may have been in the same meeting

Just saw a flock of blue jays - about 50 of them. I've never seen a whole flock. I guess they're migrating, but they were headed north.

2/2 Baldung’s Coronation, a fantastic ensemble of exuberant wood framing and equally fab painting.

Sea Shepherd "Ever seen a sea lion cuddle puddle? It’s pure joy—wildlife resting, safe, and living their best life. 💙 As we head into Monday, remember the good you do in your little world matters. For us, it’s moments like these—seeing animals carefree—that remind us why we do this work."

I'm posting chapter-by-chapter of PRIESTESS OF CAMELOT, my #KingArthur fantasy, on Substack. Chapter 71: Anya delights in the next generation of #Merlin and #KingArthur's heirs. She pursues her visions, seeking the result of the Goddess' plan for her descendants. tinyurl.com/f9p56xfp #BookSky

ENVY-GASM!

My favorite season

Timeline cleanse: a young deer grazes outside my daughter’s house. My SIL says it used to graze with its mom. They’ve seen only the young one the past few times. #nature #deer #cleanse #wildlife

We (authors/musicians/software creators) each assert our right to our intellectual property. Other people's? Not so much. I call this Toddler Capitalism: What's mine is mine; What's yours is MINEMINEMINEMINE!!! And that is peak trumpian/Silicon Valley-economics

I get it. I've thought the same thing at 1 point. I had a musician friend who I asked if she had paid licensing fees for all the tunes she used on her recordings. "Music should be free," she said, then asked for $2 to stream her latest. None will go to the writer of the tune.

... and he blocked me because he didn't want to hear he was stealing other people's words. Don't be like that guy. Don't steal other people's words to make your stuff "look better"

Back when I was a publisher, I had a few Big Name authors kindly blurb our books. I still have their sweet notes (and the few who turned me down wrote apologies). This for a publisher of 12 whole books. (Most) Successful authors understand how hard it is to get noticed & contribute to others.

No particular reason

Rocky the beagle is underfoot (behind, in front, between) so often - generally being a tripping hazard - so often, I'm pretty sure he thinks his name is Jesus! Dog!

You want an example of white male privilege? E! News posted a headline: Arnold Schwarzengger playfully shades ex-Maria Schriver Motherfucker actually had his babymama of 10 years working in the actual CA governor's mansion. You think he'd still be in the news if he were of color?

Good morning Lovely Linda🥰

Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

The incomparable Willie Nelson, an absolute legend playing at the annual Farm Aid concert they he founded 40 years ago! The man is 92 and he didn’t go on until midnight…and played a full hour!

Christ carrying the cross; busy people pause to watch, then move on. By Abel Grimmer of Antwerp, 1593, whose day is today.

A fuzzy friend in the yard yesterday. The snowshoe hares are starting to change colour starting with their ears. I took this through a double-pane window so it's a bit blurry, but still cute. #mammals

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

Today's artist w/out a (known) birthday: Anthonie de Lorme, born in Tournai but mostly of Rotterdam, whose Laurenskerk he often painted. As here in 1669.

Apparently, you've never met my family.

We firmly believe firing comedians is not a sign of a healthy democracy. In some countries, they even elect them to defend against ambitious fascists. — PM Tuxley II

First autumn dew soothes last bloom. #7syllablesentence #first #last #blueskypoets #nature #photography

Say out loud what this is: This fragile-ego orange-coated baby-man in a diaper is afraid of everyone who he can't bully. And he knows no one will stop him. They will start shooting people in the streets shortly for not being sufficiently loyal.
