May your love be as enduring as avocado appliances, as strong as the price tag adhesive on plastic bowls, and as sincere as a dog who has realized you have bacon.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms of humans, cats, dogs, hamsters, horses, ferrets, flying squirrels, reptiles, chinchillas, fish, birds--whoever you love and take care of, we love and appreciate you! 💖 #HappyMothersDay

Someone sent me this pic, and I thought, this is about right. How it goes.

It's good to be prepared in life. If a dark queen of the elves appears before you and offers to take you back to the faerie realm with her, you need to be ready to go.

Sex is great but have you ever read Bram Stoker's Dracula whilst enjoying dark chocolate tiramisu and a vintage bottle of Pinot Noir in front of a crackling fire in a secluded cottage on the Scottish coast during a raging thunderstorm?

Be a David Attenborough in world of Trumps, Farages, Musks, and Putins.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ALL OF US

happy Tom Holland stormwater management day to all who celebrate.

Dear Donald Trump, Canada is not for sale. Fuck off. The People of Canada

One of the most striking things my therapist told me was: "you are the most important person in your life"

Can confirm. Don’t know when I’ve had so much fun reading a series. Eagerly awaiting Game of Hearts. One thing, though: Game of Hearts is the third book in the trilogy! Natania, please give us more. Please? Pretty please??

Surround yourself with the kind of people who find the Oxford comma to be illuminative, beautiful, and necessary.

I should form a religion worshiping cats to get tax breaks, all funding in going to actually housing and worshiping cats.

Always love to be reminded of this. A lot of it was hand-stitched too. Really amazing, precise work. Women’s work is so often minimised and forgotten.

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.

My pal Donny Winter used my Jellyfish for a cover! My first cover!

Then Rhiannon dabbled in the space time continuum. But she steps very delicately. Not a ripple in the timeline. #TheDivineQueen #CatsofBlueSky #Cat #Cats #Humane #Rescue

#cooksky @cateditorial.bsky.social @jlkaufmann.bsky.social 🍜🍽️ Victim cake begins. This is the frame of the bathtub. It’s fairly dry rice crispy treats with white chocolate melts as mortar. As one does. I’ve built a frame for it so it will set before I assemble it. Next, fondant.

More and more I see people say "it's ONLY used for translation" when it comes to genAI in games. As if the act of writing into another language is not worth respecting. As if people in other countries (both gamers and workers) don't matter at all. Translation IS writing. Translation IS art.

What better way to spend #Beltane than going for a romp at Foxley Wood, Norfolk's largest #ancient #woodland? Recorded in the Domesday Book, some parts of this wood are over 6000 years old. Personal favourite was the glade, a prehistoric natural clearing, which today was covered in bluebells.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple cups of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of scones, you will have accomplished more than enough.

Revisiting some old friends and one of the most convincing and rigorously constructed post-apocalyptic worlds I've ever encountered. A magnificent series. @seananmcguire.bsky.social @orbitbooks.bsky.social

You won’t regret spending 23 seconds here.

Signal received and boosted.

This is your reminder that no matter how tired you are after work, your cat waited all day to see you.

For anyone who's curious about #indexing but hasn't taken the plunge, indexers are some of the most generous, intelligent, and fun professionals I've interacted with. There are so many teachers, mentors, volunteers, and facilitators among us and you can benefit directly from that!

What level of delusion is it when you are in a game of chicken with the laundry mountain. Like, if I just keep not doing it, will the laundry do itself? It hasn't in the past, but will it this time?? I should keep waiting, right? The laundry has to be done, so it's going to do it on its own. Yes.

great gig if you can get it

I’m annoyed too. So much here.

Spring is a time for renewal & rebirth. Choose a new form and don't hold back. Grow your most elaborate antlers yet, or a frightening exoskeleton. Replace old forest folktales with new terrifying legends of mossy gloom and malevolent splendor.

Hey freelancer You're great. You aren't paid half what you deserve, and you're treated like a disposable work bot far too often. Value yourself, value what you do. Companies won't. All the more reason to give yourself all the kindness you can.

These three are clearly up to shenanigans. I can tell. I know what to look for.

OTD in 2023: chickadee! When I go through OTD photos, I have a *lot* of these "bad" bird pics—but what they are are records of when I got excited because I had a bird visitor that I hadn't seen in a while. Photos as memories and stories to share and connect with. 📷🪶

Celebrate your differences. If you have weird antlers, an extra tentacle or two, or a third eye where no one should have an eye at all, don't hide it. Show the world your true dark beauty.

Early morning purr fest and pleasure paws, I’m so ecstatic this morning ♥️🥰🐾🇦🇺

Whenever I encounter someone who believes in using the Oxford comma, I find myself encouraged, delighted, and hopeful.

I mean, really.
