Likewise. I’m another big fan. It’s a great world and the books make me happy.

@isasaxonists.bsky.social Isn't this lovely

Back and boost, friends!!!

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

What I like about this video is it shows how all cats, including wild cats, are dignified and aloof.

My middle name is Davis. Short version: it's my maternal uncle's name. Long version... Dec 21, 1918: the fishing smacks Red Fern and Red Rose was dispatched to conduct sea-mine related research. Specifically, whether ships could traverse a mine field without being blown up. (con't)

Seattle-area buds, I have posted this to no avail in my Buy Nothing group and on Nextdoor, so I open the offer here: Could your family use a crib? It’s from Pottery Barn, and I have a mattress. It’s disassembled for transport. Free, DMs are open.

A few months ago I got the story of a duck who aspires to curling greatness stuck in my brain and simply couldn't get it out until I did this

I’m probably getting transferred at work. The place they would transfer me to is a place I left because of a terrible boss. I’m amazingly good at and enjoy what that area does but they’re nuts. I had one chip and I played it: I won’t work for the person I worked for before. Got a promise. 🤞

Dragonfruit. So pretty, so bland.

Semolina-coconut sweet from @meemalee.bsky.social ‘s Mandalay. I love this and want to eat it forever. I had to improvise because 1. I only had dark poppy seeds, not white ones and 2. The oven refused to get to temperature, so that was fun, and I baked for longer instead.

You know what I would love? A fantasy romance that doesn’t go straight down the “chosen one/unusual powers not seen for millennia” route. Just once. It’s starting to feel like a lot to ask, other than in re @tkingfisher.com, who is sublime. Recommendations welcomed. #romancelandia

#cooksky 🍽️🤩 Underway: Seville and blood orange and Meyer lemon marmalade.
