Some more spring pretties for the timeline #peony #flowers #peony

#flowers #irises Just wanted something pretty to stare at for a while.

Seeing a lot of hate for @draft2digital.bsky.social right now. Don't see the point. There is internet precedent for fighting spam with small fees. And it works out to $1 a month. I have made $8 in the 2 years my book has been listed.

Spotted this lovely on an evening walk recently. #birds #baldeagle 🪶

Don't care about zodiac signs or bank accounts. I want to know your favorite Weird Al song.

Overheard at work: If Taylor and Travis break up/divorce, her next album will be called "Travis-Tea" and discuss the travisity of the relationship.

Went back to the beginning to post my list. Ten writers of whom I’ve read more than five books: Orson Scott Card Jim Butcher David Weber Martha Wells John Grisham Piers Anthony Peter David Chloe Neill Margaret Weis Terry Pratchett

How tech companies are trying to evade IP laws and leverage fair use to gain unlimited access to copyrighted materials for AI training (and how governments have become more friendly to these efforts)

If someone turns a kilt into a short, is it now a skilt or a kort? #strangethoughts

Strange thoughts for a Friday afternoon: Go Go Gadget Power Rangers #strangethoughts

Some beautiful irises to celebrate spring. #flowers

Twitch Aka the Empress August 2008 (gotcha date) to April 18, 2025 The house won't be the same without my supurrvisor...

I have offended the supurrvisor again. #catsofbluesky #cateditor 🐱

JUST IN: The Washington Capitals star made history with a power play goal from the left faceoff circle — as Gretzky, who last set the record more than 25 years ago, looked on.

Put the cataloging project on hold until I get a few more tools. Fortunately, I had a homemade database to save me some work. I think there's like 500 cards left, give or take.

I'm supposed to be writing, but instead I've found a procrastination task for me. I just got a new app for cataloging my ancient MTG collection. I think I have over 10k cards...

The great feast before the snow storm hit. #birds #birdsofbluesky 🪶

After yesterday's discussion, writer must stand while writing. #catsofbluesky #cats

The managing editor would like to discuss your performance... #catsofbluesky #writingcat #cats

I don't want my timeline overwhelmed by bad news. Can I see some cats? #catsofbluesky #cats

So much for a beltway rematch for the Superbowl. Oh well.

This poor bluebird came to my newly filled feeders. Poor thing was so cold. #birds #bluebird 🪶

I had chicken nuggets for lunch, and one of my supurrvisors decided she needed to inspect my meal.

Received the new book by @nnedi.bsky.social today. Very excited to read it. May have to stop the one I'm reading to start it.

Thought process: Set up a small writing station at a Bucees just so a writer can people watch.

Something silly I started doing many moons ago is creating a list of the books I read during the year and seeing of others had ever read those same books. Today I post that poll here for fun: forms.gle/mxgoUGcDkiDg...

*thunderstorm rattling the house* NWS: uh, you're under a severe thunderstorm warning now. Ya think?

I don’t like how folk are trying to read shame. If you read 100 books, awesome. If you read 10 books, awesome. Just read.

Christmas walk offered a heron waiting for the humans to leave. #birds #greatblueheron 🪶

This Karen of a cow bird attacked my kitchen door because the feeders were a but empty this morning. #bird #brownheadcowbird 🪶

Merry Yule and happy third weekend of this year's last month! How are you fairing? Have you hydrated? Have you supported your own mental health lately? Please know you are enough, you are cared for, and you are loved. I send you positive vibes, happy thoughts, and hope for a bright future.

I was delivering gifts to a local veterans home and being watched over by these chilled buzzards. #bird #buzzards

I have freed my inner child for the evening, as I watched the local fire department drive by with Santa on their Engine, waving to everyone.

Found their perch for a good meal. #bird 🪶 #Woodpecker #redbelliedwoodpecker

This red tailed hawk has been haunting my bird feeders for months. 🦉 #usbird #birds #redtailedhawk

New to the birding community here on Bluesky. But wanted to share my cold little cardinal #addBirder 🦉 #cardinal #usbird

do not cross the picket line

I made a mistake today. I engaged instead of blocking. Oh, not here, but on Reddit. And now I've left that sub reddit, blocked the person, and seriously considered deleting my reddit account.

You ever been editing through a story, only to realize you marked it finished with a gap in the story? Uh, yeah, I had this one marked finished almost 7 years ago, but just now getting to edit it... Whoops!

Have you ever seen or shared an 'oh no' cartoon? Did you know the creator is a queer Welsh artist? Did you know they're being agressively pursued & harassed w/lawsuits from a US organisation trying to steal their intellectual property? Did you know you can donate to cover the horrific legal costs?

In Otter News. Love it.
