I'd heard those words before, read them in history books, seen them scroll across the bottom of the screen either in old movies, or when someone running for office fell back on the old hate-filled tropes of they're poisoning the blood of America. #WIPsnips

4,533 words today. Sam had to work my left shoulder and upper arm this evening, something has clicked out of place, and I've knotted things up and down my arm. Yes, the things have a technical term but I can't remember them. #amwriting #writesky #writerslife

As a group we'd opted to use guns only when there was no other choice. If a bear attacked us, or shifters, or another band of stragglers trying to make their way through the trees to a human run city. #WIPSnips

Orange Sweet Rolls from scratch #fromscratchbaking #breadsky #sweetrolls sallysbakingaddiction.com/orange-sweet...

Sweet rolls are in the oven... let's hope they turn out alright. Looked good after the second rise. #baking #fromscratchbaking

Sweet roll dough rolled out, filling spread out over it, rolled up and cut into the right shapes. Now it's back in the grow room for the second rise. #bakingfromscratch #sweetrolls

Dough for citrus sweet rolls is set to rise. It was going for orange rolls, but I don't have quite enough orange juice or zest for the recipe. But I did have some lemon zest in the freezer and some lemon juice in the fridge - which will work just fine! #baking #sweetrolls #fromscratchbaking #bread

3,796 words today. High pain day, but my hands remained at a 5-6 which meant I could still type in short bursts. Using voice to text to get chunks down then using that as the base worked nicely. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

She snuggled down half in, half behind the blankets, then Elder Spawn tucked her in. Couldn’t quite resist taking the photo. #dog #husky #huskylife #huskysky #dogsky

Bread rolls just went in the oven! #ambaking #fromscratchbaking #breadtok

Bread dough for soft fluffy rolls has gone through its first kneading, and now it's all covered and set in the grow room to --well- grow lol. Rise, proof, grow... it all works. These rolls were a hit at Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping this batch turns out well. #bakingfromscratch #breadsky #baking

3,699 words today. Bitterly cold, fingers are not happy. Wearing gloves isn't an option, even fingerless, because my palms start to itch and everything else joins in. Oh well! #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

'Sugar Daddy' scam - followed the usual pattern, opens with flirting, doesn't read profiles, then demands an explanation when told no. #scammer #sugardaddy bsky.app/profile/stev...

3,133 words today. Bitterly cold, and a broken night's sleep, but managed a good couple of writing sprints which helped. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

3,021 words today, plus home made rolls, full Turkey dinner - turkey, potatoes, roast parsnips, English style stuffing (stuffing plus ground pork - ground chicken also works - added apple sauce for moisture), gravy, green beans. Kids helped with peeling. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

Stand mixer is running, as I've got bread dough, for soft rolls, started, and once that's ready to be covered for the first rise, I can dive into some writing before I need to start anything else. Need to add yeast to the shopping list for next month! #baking #fromscratchbaking #breadsky

3,541 words today. Glad we're not having a big get together tomorrow, we're all still under the weather, and running on low spoons. Whatever bug Sam brought in from the hospital is still working it's way through the family. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

The morning after- it’s bitter out there! Final count on yesterday’s power outages as- 10! #midwestwinter #snow #winterweather

I stand with Mark Kelly.

1702 words. A stressful day with the power going in and out for most of the afternoon and evening. With the temps below freezing, and our first 'winter storm' of the season. Fun fun. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

Ten power outages so far... that I didn't end up cutting or burning myself during dinner prep is a bloody miracle. Ug...

Barely half way through eating dinner and power is out. Again!

Two more power outages as the company continues to claim it’s ‘fixed’

Message through the 'next door' app from the power company. "It's all fixed" Three minutes later - power outage number 7...

6 power outages so far... Fun.

First 'winter storm' and the combination of high winds with ice and snow, have already resulted in the power going out twice. This is going to be...interesting. #winterstorms #midwestwinter #snow

2,702 words today. Rough day, there's a bug in the household, coughing, sneezing, sinus pressure, sore throats. Some also have stomach issues. Nothing horrible on its own, but combined it's not fun. And Ayra got out again, but was found quickly this time. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

Turkey feather found today by elder spawn today. #wildturkey #feather

3,199 words today. It's been one of those days where I've had trouble focusing for more than a few minutes at a time. So when those minutes showed up, I used them and got the words down. Sometimes it can be a slog. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

Movement through the trees that was no longer the wind or small animals, but beings who called the trees themselves their homes or were part tree. Moss with an unearthly glow or lichen with tiny crystals growing amid the tiny pieces of microscopic life bundled together. #WIPSnips

3,648 words today. Sam's very sore, but they've given him pain meds and muscle relaxants to help his body have a chance to heal. With it being on the ribs every breath is painful. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky

Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese focaccia bread. Fresh from the oven. #breadfromscratch #homebaked #breadsky

Most surreal part of the Zohran vs Donald Trump meeting was a reporting asking "Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist" and Trump going "I don't mind...it's easier...it's easier than explaining" and Zohran just smiled and said "yes"

Focaccia bread dough is covered and left to rise. Planning on Italian Herb and Parmesan tonight. Youngest has pizza on Fridays and it's a general get your own for the rest of us, so this works. #breadmaking

3,718 words today. Sam is on his way back from the ER. Not a broken bone but likely a muscle strain or partial dislocation of a floating rib. They're giving him pain meds so he has a chance at sleep tonight. #amwriting #writesky #writerslife

Voices, both human and wolf shifter. One loud male demanded their release, another softer female tried to calm the first speaker down, but wasn't having much luck. Both were human. A third voice, a male wolf shifter, cut through the human's protests, ordering them into silence. #WIPSnips

Sam's been told his tests to see if the treatments have worked, won't take place until February. Apparently the radiation continues to work for up two months after treatment ends, and they give it 3 months to be certain that they're getting the right readings. #fuckcancer
