What would you do if you woke up as the villain of a novel? For Lynn, it's a matter of life or death, but saving her own life might come at the cost of the world - and the people - she's come to love. #monsterromance #isekai #dragonromance #noAIbooks books2read.com/RebornAsTheVillainess

Would you read a story about a down-on-his luck trickster god and a dancing prophet with a vendetta teaming up to survive in a world ruled by an authoritarian god of Order who seeks absolute dominance over the realms of both gods and mortals?

I waited until the last minute to get my husband's V-day gifts done because I am TERRIBLE about wanting to give gifts early. As it is, I'm fighting the urge to try to give him his gifts RIGHT NOW

I can post this here since hubby isn't on Bluesky. This is part of his Valentine's present. It's a watercolor of a photo he took of a red panda at the Wichita zoo. It took me about an hour and a half to paint and I used Crayola watercolors. #RealArt #NoAI #Watercolor

I'm feeling the urge to write. Not any of the projects I've already started, of course, but I can always come back to them later. Perhaps it's time to try something new.

I finally got to take my birthday trip to the zoo after being snowed in on my actual birthday. I was migraining the whole time, and I'm paying for pushing through it now, but I'm glad I went anyway. Hubs snapped this photo outside the herpetarium.

Well, I'm restricted on FB again and this time they're not even giving me a reason why. 😒 I can post, react, and share, but I can't comment on anything, even my own posts in my own profile for 7 days.

😗☕ This guy on FB was trying to troll me by saying I'm probably about 20, but that I look 40. Which basically means he thinks I actually look 20, so he assumes accusing me of looking 40 will horrify me. I just turned 41. Missed the mark a bit, my good dude.

A guy on FB was trying to bully me by running my photo through AI and turning me into a goblin. But my alter ego is a goblin and I ended up liking the idea so much that I stole the AI image from him and used it as inspo to paint my own version.

I have baby ducks in my office. They have imprinted on me. If I leave their line of sight, they get upset, so I've had to start putting ads from magazines next to their brooder when I leave the room.

Dang, has it really been five months since I posted? This past year has been... a lot.

I had a dream the other night that I time-traveled to the 1990s just so I could get a job that would actually pay my bills.

Having an affair is bad of course, but I have to give them credit for at least having an affair with someone their own age. It's refreshing to see a middle-aged CEO with a middle-aged mistress for a change.

I'm mad at everything and so very tired.

In a fascist regime, the only crime is being Other. That is why crimes like SA, political violence, preying on children, etc. are only enforced when someone else does them.

step one: plant sweet banana peppers step two: patiently wait for peppers step three: harvest first pepper, chop it up, and put in salad. step four: NOT A SWEET PEPPER. NOT SWEET. ANGRY. VERY ANGRY.

Woke up to another timeout on FB. Like, was I getting up to nonsense in my dreams? tf 😂

Just an FYI: Cloud seeding is real, but cloud seeding can't cause superstorms or devastating floods. Cloud seeding can only trigger existing clouds to give up their moisture as precip. It cannot add moisture (or energy) to the atmosphere; the two things storms need to become storms.

Bunch of people calling a video AI because there's strawberries on a tree. I reveal down the GROUNDBREAKING technology used to create said video here:

Legal immigrants thought that voting for policies that would would crack down on illegal immigrants would make them safer and more accepted in society. Instead, the government started going after all immigrants, citizen children of immigrants, and anyone who looks or sounds latino. 🧵

Life tip: Assuming every interesting video or photo you see is AI is just as bad as believing everything you see without questioning it. Both are forgoing critical thinking in favor of an easier route, often bypassing facts in the process.

I'm in the FB time-out corner again. No idea why. People on there throwing around misinformation, spam, death threats, and slurs like candy at a parade, but I'm the one who gets shut down. Wild.

Went to the zoo for a mental health day. It was on a whim, so I didn't announce it or anything, just went. 2 hr drive, 100+ miles. I'm wandering around photographing elephants and stuff when I see an older couple. They look a lot like my parents. Then I realized they ARE my parents.

They know that they're lying. They know we know they're lying. They also know that if you lie long enough people will accept it as truth just because it's easier than arguing with you. Make it harder for them to lie than it is for us to listen to them lie.

Anti-ICE protesters in Denver Colorado 👇👇👇👇👇

My love doesn't buy me flowers, he buys me flower seeds.

Ever notice the same people who criticize "violent" protest loudly fantasize about shooting/ running over peaceful protesters?🤔 Like, who's really being violent here?

The #crochet coffee shop collection is coming along. All of these items are original #amigurumi patterns by me! It is an interactive playset with a lot of cool details. I took a week off from work to focus on this project, so if you'd like to put some bread in my jar, check out my ko-fi ❤️

Things are hard right now, but if they start to get too tough, just remember that somewhere in Kansas, a full-grown gander saw a motherless brood of ducklings and immediately adopted them as his children.

A wasp on a toilet seat is a bad day for everyone involved. #WeirdWisdom

"Everyone you don't like is fascist!" That is correct.

Put on a wig and terrorized the locals today

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

I usually drink black coffee in the AM, but I woke up craving a latte. Ended up using extra milk because I wasn't going to put the carton back in the fridge with a wee dribble in it. 1 shot of espresso, 2% milk, ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, & hazelnut syrup. #Coffee

Got too close to the chicken wire while tilling. Looks like I'm done for the day. #gardening

One of my poverty-induced superpowers is being able to find steeply discounted meat and make several meals out of it for a fraction of what it would normally cost. 1/2 price chuck steaks = tacos carne asada

The people who have been belting out "Before He Cheats" since 2005 are suddenly very disgusted by vandalism of vehicles.

My spring break is over and it's back to teaching! Today I showed my students how to use a real-life reference to create a kawaii illustration, using one of my favorite memes as an example #art #kawaii #chickens #cats

I saw this post on FB and had to find it here to share. <3

Ask an archaeologist about the earliest evidence of human civilization, and they will show you broken bones that mended, elders' skulls with no teeth, adults who were disabled since childhood or birth. People who lived because their society took care of them.

Three new arrivals hatched this morning. At 4 AM, 6 AM, and 8 AM. When will I learn not to keep the incubator in my bedroom? 🥱😪 This is in addition to the 3 chicks I hatched a few days ago. They were polite enough to hatch in the afternoon. #Backyardchickens

I feel like it should be a bigger deal that the Secretary of State has just announced he’s considering selling American citizens into slavery to a foreign country.

A lot of people getting chicks right now because you want to save money on eggs. Let me just give you a heads up that you probably aren't going to do that (but the eggs you get will be much better than what they sell at the grocery store.) Here's some tips if you decide to get #chickens anyway:🧵

Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc. If you're content to ignore it because (you think) it doesn't directly affect you, that's a problem. If you think simply not participating directly in the bigotry is good enough, it's not. You cannot allow it in your space. Period.

People wonder why we have our own communities - BlackBooktok, BlackBookstagram, #Blackbooksky. Have you ever looked at general feeds? You rarely see us. "I just read good books, I don't pay attn to race" ass motherfuckers don't get ait. This is why we pay attention to who is writing the books.

Random Message Request: "Hi I hope you don't mind, but your profile is really great and I wanted to get to know you better." Me: "What's so great about it?" Random: "Your pretty little smile" Me:

How many times do we have to be proven right before people fucking listen to us?

it's incredible how many stages of fascism you can avoid succumbing to as a voter by simply asking not who this plan hurts but how it helps you
