Typhoon Bavi knocked a lighthouse loose in Liaoning, China. I saw someone set the video to the Pirates of the Carribbean soundtrack and had to triple check to make sure it was real. www.theaustralian.com.au/news/floatin...

Writing books takes longer than some people think. The reason your favorite author is talking about a book they're finishing that doesn't come out until next year is that they are going through edits and setting up promotions. www.LianaEdits.com?u... #LianaEdits #AmWriting #AmEditing

The male lead of this drama is 49, the person he's asking to be his wife is 33, and the guy he wants to play his father is 53... This is awkward.

Having lived in Alaska (where daylight savings time doesn't do much) and Korea (where there is no time change) I'm going to tell everyone upset about ending daylight savings that they'll be fine. Winter sunrise in Alaska and Korea is late, no matter what. It's fine. You'll be fine.

In addition to Shark Awareness Day, it is ALSO World Orca Day! So, don't hesitate! Get out there and hug ALL the Orcas you know! 🤣🤘💙 #WorldOrcaDay #Orcas #Orcas #KillerWhale #whale #animal #animalart #mammal #marinelife #sciart #nature #wildlife

My family has been invited to a "Celebrating The Generations" picnic next week where we are supposed to bring a dish that's been passed down from generation to generation. The problem is, I'm not sure we have any recipes like that except for one grilled chicken dish and we won't have a grill.

I’m old enough to remember when a BJ paralyzed the country for nearly a year.

#BlockParty (?) Up to y'all - but a LOT of scraped stuff - sometimes credit -sometimes not. 2K+ likes for someone else's pic. Fab. Just feckin' fab.

I feel like an absolute monster. I'm here on my keyboard, writing in a library, and one of my students is shelving books alone. I feel like I should go help.

Give me a million pieces or a slurry, everything else is sub-optimal.

I will admit, my two favorite food formats are "charcuterie" and "soup."

Scrapping that scene and going with a different approach. It'll get the FMC to the same place , she'll just show up a little more bruised (and a little more likely to break someone). #AmWriting

The library I'm working from has a very loud storytime going on. Thank goodness for earbuds.

I'm undecided on how these scenes work out. I'm missing some bridge scenes between the scenes I know I want... :/

Boa noite!

There are masks designed to help with this. But, in a pinch, use what you have available.

So... everyone knows every word of the upcoming speech will be a lie. Are news organizations going to refuse to steam it live? Why continue giving him unfiltered/unlimited access to do fascism?

If you identify as a man, anything you do is masculine. Masculine isn't not defined as being extra aggressive, or liking a particular color, or playing a certain sport. Masculine means "of or relating to men or boys; male" If you're a guy and you do the thing, congrats! It's masculine.

Yeah, there is no portion of this -- not the dumbass assertions that men somehow aren't allowed to be masculine, not the equallly asinine argument that we somehow need to "get that back" -- that doesn't just make me tired. Call me back when you're comfortable in your own skin.

As for the official stance on where the name comes from, there was originally the "Karoo Array Telescope" aka KAT. Then they were gonna expand the array, aka build more of it, and "more" is "meer" in Afrikaans, soooo...

Working on some proposals for the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa (deadline tomorrow). It forever makes me happy that instead of shying away from the name some astronomers said "screw that, we ARE gonna name our telescope after meerkats because life is more fun this way!" 🧪🔭

Sure picked a good month to remember that fried rice is a thing and always delicious and you can put any old vegetables and protein in there and cook it all at a high temp.

Back in Greenland again! Happy to spend some time here under the midnight sun.

#TheApartmentJob ... I'm sorry, if you know that public figures are taking bribes, why not call them on it? If they have a built-in support system, why not just arrange their deaths? Why work with them at all? #Kdrama

Nonfiction science new releases for JULY, 2026! ❓Which of these books are you adding to your TBR? I am currently reading LOST IN CURIOSITY and I hope to read CAPITAL FROM ZERO. #nonfiction #booksky #science 🧪 #sciencebooks #womeninscience #nonfictionscience 🎢

Bantam Fiction has pre-empted a new novel, Home Economics by Katy Hays. 👇

Publishing and parenting have both taught me to have supernatural patience, which helps me out in both spaces.

Tweet so good I printed it out and put it on my wall. I referred to it in a conference talk today @hypervisible.blacksky.app

I have #TheApartmentJob open and I'm giving E1 a try. I liked Leverage and Vincenzo, so we'll see if this follows either of those. #Kdrama

I continue to marvel at the marketing coup these companies achieved by just calling their LLM predictive text programs "AI" and everyone just... Ran their press releases unchallenged. Just an incredible win for grifters everywhere.
