Rainbow unicorn kitties! In 2 sizes! There are a couple fewer left now. 🦄

6 hours to sunset and I've heard the first booms outside. 😩 Switched the TV to see if there was any breaking news; nope, just the usual illegal fireworks we get this time of year.

Your reminder that I will be giving a talk entitled "Samuel Alito is a whiny pissbaby" and for $20, you can attend. For an additional $20, you can get a friend in on it. If we pass 500 seats sold, we'll have two seatings of the talk.

There are SO MANY AWESOME THINGS and a lot of the bids are out of my range - but those Buy It Now are insidious. Just... one... more... click... The auction runs through July 5, don't miss out!

BIDDING IS LIVE ON THE ROMANCING THE VOTE AUCTIONS! That includes your chance to have me make you a custom wallet (or tarot card case)! www.32auctions.com/organization...

It's time to start highlighting some of our amazing experts for 2026! Starting with... SHERYL ANDERSON! The showrunner of Sweet Magnolias is back for her fourth year of consultations, and you can bid to chat with her!

I have to pace myself because new Buy It Now keep dropping and we have several more days. My FOMO is strong. 😁

For those who are new to our auctions, here's a last minute guide as to how it works. There are two types of items on our auction site. 1. Bidding auctions 2. Buy-it-nows

Auction starts tomorrow! And this is why: 🧵

#CoralIsland - I went to the Festival of the Sun. #spoilers maybe: I ended up with a buff combo that gave me triple collectibles and destroy everything. Pulled 500 osmium ore from the cavern mines in like 2 game hours without a single pickaxe swing. Crushed everything. 💪 It was brilliant. 🌴

Tim Onion has died.

I spent half my work day catching up emails after 10 days off. At work I am Inbox Zero. My personal email is out of control, but nobody's paying me to check that. 😁

Taking a sleep aid in a couple of hours since I return to work tomorrow (boo) and have been awake past 11pm (gasp) most nights. Fingers crossed it works. I accomplished nothing useful during my staycation but it was nice not to be at work.

Aren't we all Veruca Salt right now? No, just me? That's okay. 😁 Auction starts July 1 at 10am EDT!

I'm still peeved at Ion for moving L&O:SVU to Wednesdays instead of Saturdays, but I've just spotted Leverage on IonPlus so that'll do.

You can set up your auction account now and start bookmarking... 🤤

Right arm very sore, so tired and overall achy today; my immune system is doing its thing after yesterday's vaccinations. 💪 Lunch, then nap. I do like my staycations.

My birthday is TOMORROW which means it's your last chance to pitch in and help our fundraiser for shelter kitties! We are so close to $11,000 - it would be amazing to hit that milestone! Thank you! 🐈🚀 givebutter.com/mollys-birth...

When these data centers become debt traps in a few years at most, the next Dem president should offer to wipe out those debts if they're sold for a dollar back to cities for community centers, mutual aid hubs, YMCA-style temporary housing services. Try to salvage anything out of this mess.

Since I'm on vacation and doing eff-all useful, I got 2 vaccines today. Yay! And I drove home through a downpour, so my car's slightly cleaner. Yayay! I stocked no-bake foods (turkey snax, cheese, lunchmeat, crackers) so when I'm dazed the next few days, food prep won't be an issue. 👍 🤒 😁

Bought the wrong item or grabbed too many by accident? We’ve got you 💸 Just hover over the return icon and get your money back. No questions asked.

LLC approved Business banking application approved Articles of incorporation completed Now I just need clients!

Of course I backed up my #CoralIsland tracking spreadsheet; I finally filled in the last 2 fish row and position. Who doesn't have a spreadsheet with tabs for each gift, recipe, building upgrade, and collectible category? I forget materials and jog in circles otherwise. 🤓 🌴

I just read a book that several times used "callous" (adj) when it meant "callus" (n). I did finish reading the book but am debating whether to bother with others in that series. Apparently I have pet peeves and am judgy! 📚

My computer is being a bastard and the Woo Commerce app apparently won't let me clear off out of stock items, but in the meantime I've restocked the Ranch Store with belt pouches, an envelope wallet, and that tarot card case. suncircleranch.com/shop-2/

...an' I got a Knútsdóttir an' some Jemisin an' a little Wells... with free shipping!! 📚 Anti-Prime Day!

I'm on staycation this week and just finished (6 hours late) breakfast. Roast chicken thighs & spaghetti squash. I'd planned to Mass Effect all week but the Coral Island update is distracting me. 🌴 My TBR book stack has shrunk, but I noticed bookshop.org has a thing going on, so, hmmm, shopping? 📚

hey it's anti-Prime day on @bookshop.org!!! Why not grab a copy of me & @lollardfish.bsky.social's THE BRIGHT AGES? @bostonglobe.com called it "Incandescent and ultimately intoxicating." #medievalsky bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

If your 80-year-old grandpa was insisting that the reason the backyard pool has algae in it is because terrorists are trying to make him look bad and demanding the police arrest somebody, you'd put him in a senior care facility before the end of the day.

Það var svo fallegt sólsetur að það var tilefni til að henda í myndafæriband 🤗🌇⏭️

Psst! U.S. friends! B&N are offering members 25% off preorders until June 26th! And 35% off for premium members! If you were thinking about preordering Down Where Monsters Dwell, my dark fantasy horror novella, from them, this is a great time to do it.

It's Monday night and it's #midsummer so it's time for a special edition of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 11.30pm this week?' You are not going to believe this, but it's the #SummerSolstice, there's absolutely no wind, and it's STILL THIS LIGHT! 💡❤️

Wow, Mass Effect LE looks good on my PS5 and high-def TV. I've been spoiled by modern game hair physics tho. Of course I'm playing on easy, my reflexes have not improved over the years. I remember so much. I'd missed that Shep jog. 😁 👩‍🚀

Access the Festival pamphlet anywhere and anytime during the festival day. No more forgetting where to go, it now includes location and schedule information!

#CoralIsland #Spoilers The ocean was clean by Fall 12 Y1, a new personal record. I haven't explored the jealousy mechanics - don't even know who this farmer's LI will be - so I've got that to look forward to. And anytime-save is operating exactly as I hoped. My museum looks great! 🌴

If you're a young trans man or trans masc person who needs a dad today, congrats. I am your dad now. I am proud of you and what you've accomplished although some of your young person culture and choices perplex me. I am proof trans men can be middle aged married dudes. You can be too some day. Live.

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

I foraged mild BBQ gochujang and also mild kimchi yesterday. Despite your basic fresh-ground black pepper being too much spice for me sometimes, the gochujang was nice on meat. Small bowl of kimchi for breakfast today and I'm tolerating it. My mouth is tingly but not numb! (I laugh at myself. 🥵)

#CoralIsland #Spoilers Save an extra sunflower in Summer Y1. Sunflowers only grow in summer. Valentina asks for a sunflower in early Fall. You're in S3Y1 so no greenhouse. (No way I know of to get the greenhouse before midwinter Y1.) If you didn't hold onto a sunflower you disappoint the child! 😭 🌴

Holy forking shirtballs it's a madhouse out there. I squeaked through before the true insanity started. 🥳 I found caviar at the 9th grocery store. I'd given up the quest a month ago and settled for flying fish roe. Not the same. Compound cream cheese upcoming... No package tho. They have 3.5 hrs.

My UPS Store texts me when my package arrives but they haven't yet. The window for going anywhere pre-match is closing. Urgh. Fine. Groceries now.

Yes, still on about #CoralIsland v1.3 Meh: Pop-up pause every time I catch a bug. Fishing rollback Papayas look different Mail looks different I can't find a way to mute frogs What is "UI Juiciness"? But... 1/2

If the local soccer match starts in 26 hrs, by what time tomorrow must I finish my errands to avoid gridlock? Noon ought to be plenty early right? My main motivator during the world cup is avoiding all things having to do with the world cup; I'm all curmudgeonly and just want to go about my life. 😁

Coral Island has really matured since 1.0 release. It's well worth checking out! #CoralIsland I'm still exploring the new features, but just the QOL updates are neat. 🌴

My friend was the first in their family to own a home. Exploded pipes, mice, etc. ensued. They stuck for 6 years and are back in an apartment with relief. I'm an apartment-dweller until I win the lottery, or retire, whichever comes first. Excellent thread of why I'm happy with my choices... 🏚️ 😱

Luck, people! I'll just preorder because about 2 hours later: 355 Comments on “Win an Signed, Personalized ARC of Monsters of Ohio!” 📚

Special brunch: filet mignon; baked potato; Brussels sprouts; Guinness; triple chocolate cake; coffee; Tums. 😋

In past Coral Island farms, some pre-expanded-romance: Mark; Raj; Millie; Yuri; Nina; Kenny; Alice; Surya; Noah; Eva; Aaliyah; Rafael; Wakuu Then once you're married a while and realize they're really not The One - ugh, restart! 😁 Now I can have branching saves before my farmer gets hitched! 🌴

When in Golden, BC and working with the railway company, you have to stay at Edelweiss Village. I don't make the rules. Strap in for a bit of a western Canadian Heritage Moment. 🚂🇨🇦

I'm Fridaying so hard in my head that my "stop gaming and catch your over-the-air prime-time network TV" alarm surprised me. (Ain't nothin to watch Friday so I have no alarm for Friday. But today is not Friday!)
