Bridget wants to know exactly what’s going on here and who is responsible. #cats #kitty #snow #pennsylvania

Was awakened in the night by what I thought in my was a strange animal cry somewhere outside but it turned out—what an indignity—it was my nose whistling. Winter is tough on the sinuses. Anyway, I guess there’s no new howling animal in our neighborhood.

To be fair it’s going to be very funny when these clowns invent AGI and the super intelligent machine tells everyone to get offline, avoid processed food, stroll in the woods, seek community, eschew racism, pay high marginal rates of tax and ignore the ravings of deranged billionaires.

Pennsylvania — geopsych ㅤ

I’m not sure if Bridget thinks she’s David Bowie or Rainbow Dash #cats #CatsOfBlueSky #rainbow

I guess I have to move to Pittsburgh.

I'm honoured to have one of my photos featured on an album cover. Released on the monochrome motif label, ‘affinity’ is a collaboration by 10 artists who are friends of the label. All the different musical styles are bound together by the concept of ‘affinity’. christweedphoto.uk/2025/12/05/a...

Looking at screenshots I saved at this time last year and boy, right or wrong for a moment in time that CEO shooting gave people a shot of hope

@orchidfever.bsky.social I don't know who else to tell but I was in touch with the breeder, Ross Hella at Deerwood Orchids, about my Balding Man paph and he said "On a normally single flowered plant, having an extra flower bud means you must be growing the plant well. Congratulations!" I'm thrilled.

@orchidfever.bsky.social One last Henry still in bloom, not for long, Balding Man almost completely open, and our mutual friend Purple Splash hanging in there. Puna’s Greatness and Delenatii and of course Malipoense are in various stages of bud. #orchids #BloomScrolling #flowers

I put Santa ornaments in each of the little libraries near me. Maybe someone will be delighted to have them. Trying to get rid of our old Christmas ornaments but this method would take a while!

@orchidfever.bsky.social Malipoense is showing slight movement: the petals no longer tightly closed. #orchids

Everybody knows there are standard hot dog configurations, especially regionally. Things like the classic ketchup and/or mustard, chili, slaw, Reuben, Chicago, Sonoran, Seattle... But what's your unhinged hot dog topping combo you swear by? I'm thinking of doing a video series where I try them all.

Not everyone is enthusiastic about early Christmas decorations.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

@orchidfever.bsky.social Feeling brave! After blooming for a year nonstop my Chamberlainianum stopped and its 2 new growths weren’t spiking so in a fit of energy this morning I repotted it. Big plant and the pot was all roots. Scary but hoping for the best.

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

if you’re trans, you have to continue being alive that’s the the rule

Maybe I should stop dying my hair, let it turn gray, diminish and go to the West, etc etc

@orchidfever.bsky.social Here’s the bud or buds on Paph Balding Man, a cross between P Garibaldi and P Manayunk. No pictures online show 2 to a stem so I’m watching closely! #orchids Meanwhile Paph Little Man had 2 growths with buds but one has blasted so I’m just hoping the other makes it!

6 years ago today I stayed in that little town in the picture. I had to leave the next morning but I would have liked to stay a few weeks to hike in those hills and get to know some of the people there. #Portugal is incredible. The town is called Piódão. #travel

Watch for aurora tonight if you’re in northern North America. It’s strong enough that we could have it here but of course clouds

To balance out all that, here’s ridiculous Bridget in her shaggy orange trousers having a stretch. #cats #CatsOfBlueSky

I didn't have to move away in order to live in a foreign country. I just had to wait a few decades.

The moon, waning gibbous, with Jupiter in the early morning sky. #sky #astronomy #moon #jupiter #planets

@orchidfever.bsky.social I may be misinterpreting what I’m seeing but it looks like Paph Balding Man is going to have 2 flowers on its stem. Not typical for this kind of complex. Maybe it’s mislabeled? Time will tell.

The thing to know about #Tumblr

Here in #Pennsylvania there was a good outcome to a small town election. I spent parts of a few summers just outside Downingtown, back when the fox hunting groups in full attire would go by with their hounds and horses. Times have changed. #trans whyy.org/articles/ele...

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

On the bright side, Toronto probably won’t be subjected to a tantrum bombing today.

@orchidfever.bsky.social You're probably not in the market for this but Polar Sky in spike is on Etsy right now. www.etsy.com/listing/4393...

I’ve always wanted to see a ghost but all I’ve ever been haunted by is the hopes of the child I once was

"I had a thought, dear, however scary, About that night, the bugs and the dirt. Why were you digging? What did you bury Before those hands pulled me from the earth?" A song inspired by bog bodies: *Like Real People Do* by #Hozier. #Halloween #music #Ireland www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV3B...

Watch out for Ea Nasir this Halloween!

hear me out: coffee as a sleep aid

@worldbollardassoc.bsky.social Seems like quite a compliment?

Pretty pleased with my first day as head of security at the Louvre.

Today in 1929: the Judicial Committee of the Imperial Privy Council declares that women are people under Canadian law.

Nothing bad can happen it can only good happen

@orchidfever.bsky.social I know you weren’t wondering how paph malipoense is doing but here it is anyway.

me: I’m so tired of the news. I think I’ll walk to the woods and listen for migrating birds *gets to the woods chainsaws: RRRRgh trees: crack crack crack swoosh birds: complete silence me: I definitely need a plan B

Thank you Portland

To be aware of what is actually around us and not what we’re told is around us, it’s transcendent, even subversive. Wonderful article. "They are bearers of universal mysteries. Holders of ancient wisdom. They are birdwatchers." #birds #birdwatching www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Come on up and go inland, coastal storm. Give us the big rains. We’re not afraid. The drought has worn us down.

Great article about an amazing unappreciated place. I lived there for a few months many years ago and was amazed to be able to walk there most days and have it to myself.
