List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours without prep: 1. Space! And how it is cool and scary and tech bros are trying to ruin it for me but I won't let them 2. Vikings and viking-age Europe 3. Roman history, esp founding through early Empire

One day the meep will inherit the earth

These very true words from Steve Hely have given me tremendous comfort over the years.

Thank you everyone so much! The sharing really does work. I got past 200 backers today. SO amazing!! 3 more weeks to go!

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

I want to hear how Lincoln four scored those abs

My parents are arriving tomorrow afternoon. Things I need to do before then: ⬛ Make up guest room ⬛ Clean upstairs bathroom ⬛ Tidy kitchen ⬛ Tidy living room ⬛ Vacuum ⬛ Clean downstairs bathroom ⬛ Finish laundry ⬛ Plan breakfasts ⬛ Groccery shop (Also, work, eat, book club, writing...)

Ahem. No statue is "unnecessarily" sexy. Some are unnecessarily chaste, that is all.

Humans creating beautiful art by being irrepressibly horny is one of my favorite things about us

I slept for 7 hours and 40 minutes last night, even with waking up at 4:37am to row. #bragging

Spooky season is upon us, so it's time to share one of my favorite web comics of all time:

I love mosaics so much

Oh no the construction equipment rapture is apparently ahead of schedule

I'm finding this kind of hypnotizing even though I did it. Shana Tovah, friends

A bit of Rosh Hashanah baking this afternoon, with @linneaharts.bsky.social in control. May your year ahead be happy, healthy, and one of peace.

My favorite movies in no particular order until I run out of characters: The Hunt for Red October Casablanca The Magnificent Seven The Maltese Falcon Bull Durham L.A. Confidential The Usual Suspects Sneakers The Sting Real Genius Quiz Show A River Runs Through It Raiders of the Lost Ark

Wondering if the convenience of not having to weave in a million light gray ends is worth the annoyance of carrying it along in the i-cord edging #knitting

Grace is a poise that comes from integrity, or it's mere courtesy, empty etiquette. With the graceless and cruel who're just embittered at being conned, you show them that integrity and empathy in resolute defence of those they need to quit being cruel to, by telling them to fix their hearts or die.

A mirepoiarty, if you will

Today I had two people say lovely things about what I do here and my heart is full ☺️😊 It's a great way to bring a little joy to the world. Maybe give it a try #birds 🌿

A very cool thread on Doggerland, which I've always suspected is the basis for celtic legends about sunken cities like Lyonesse, Ys, Tir na nOg.

💅

And now we're being asked to sympathize with robots, while their makers want to take our creations to make zombies of us, in service of a Nazi takeover

I'm reading THE LAST UNICORN by Peter S. Beagle for book club right now, and while a poignant book about dreams denied, dreams stolen, the death and destruction of magic is hard to take right now, it is beautiful and wise.

I know I've been posting too much but... I finished a read through of the latest draft of my bi horny murdery historical novel and the last tweaks before sending it back my agent will be minor! (Thus clearing the decks for a different horny murdery historical novel for NaNo.) ((This is my lane.))

Hulu account page is effed up, I had to go through a weird route to cancel, and there was no way to tell them why, but hopefully doing it today, especially with my bundled Disney+ subscription sent the message

This is a literal horror story, with a Stephen King-esque ending

My Dad just reminded me of this post I made a while ago about how to cook dinner and have it all come out at the same time. I stand by it! Good tips here! www.linneahartsuyker.com/2017/12/how-...

The only time the NH Secretary of State is doing election guidance Q&A to help us enforce the new much stricter rules on verifying domicile and citizenship is (a) during the day and (b) on Rosh Hashannah Not quitting my other jobs for the $100/year I get paid for this election role #nhpolitics

Important PSA for parents of white boys. If you don’t want you sons radicalized do these 5 things.

I was getting my eyebrows done yesterday and ended up having a pro sex-work chat with my aesthetician when OnlyFans came up. She's Oregon Trail Generation like me but not very online or anything. Nice to find cool people in the wild

This is some gorgeous video. Monday my quad rowed out into the bay and ended up surrounded by seals. It was charming

it kinda feels like the vast majority of the population is rejecting fascism like someone is trying to shove a giant turd down their throat while everyone in elite circles is at worst lying down and showing their bellies and often are enthusiastically participating in the fascism

Yes! One of my favorite movies, definitely top 20. Another RR-directed movie that is worth a revisit is A River Runs Through It. Exploring the eternal question: am I my brother's keeper?

Looks like I'm rowing in our club's women's 50+ eight at Head of the Charles! I was kind of trying not to be in the boat, but HOCR is a fun time, so I'm not mad. (I am 46, but we have some over 60s and high 50s to keep the average 50+)

One of the core issues in our current political moment is the question: Can rich people be told "No" about anything ever?

More and more I think democracy needs coxswains. Not that we don't get bored saying the same true thing over and over again (me and handle heights), but we fight to figure out how to do it when we have to.

The STRANGEHOLLOW books are creepy and charming and eldritch and fanciful in equal measure. I just backed this kickstarter! Check it out

That's my secret. I'm always horny

*deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Not for the first time, I am insulted by the constant calls to "understand" those who want us and our entire communities dead. We have had to survive their hatred and inflictions our entire lives. Year after year. They are not subtle about it. We understand them perfectly: they're evil.

Smoke detector started doing a low battery warning today, but during the day, which is cool! Guess they're scared of me from that time I destroyed one of their cousins with a hammer for going off in the middle of the night. That's right, they should be scared

Being a person of faith means literally nothing. It contains no content. What matters is what you DO with what you claim to believe, not what you claim to believe.

Been listening to Old Gods of Appalachia from the beginning since I petered out mid-S3, and it's still so good. Minor nightmares about having to deal with a suitcase full of viscera, but #WorthIt. If you're looking for an excellent horror podcast this spooky season, I recommend it.

Of all the storylines in #FoundationS2, the one I am the most invested in is...will Brother Constant get laid??? She is an adorable precious cinnamon roll and deserves to get her world rocked

i’ve followed him on tiktok for some time and every video’s a banger he’s also anti racist and a feminist

A cute 2BR at the end of my street is for sale if anyone wants to be my neighbor

I regret to inform you that, 80% in, I am quite enjoying NICCOLO RISING by #DorothyDunnett and will probably keep reading the series. So far Niccolo is a much more enjoyable main character to me than Francis who I spent 6 books wanting to throttle.

This is an absolutely stunning essay, and like Tolkien's works themselves, can make you feel a lovely, bittersweet sorrow, mixed with hope
