I recently finished knitting an ugly blanket that is so ugly I haven't even taken pictures, and now I can pick the hexagons back up again. I really will have enough hexagons to sew together for a blanket one day. I just don't know when that day will be.

I'm so happy every time I get to take pictures of new leaves on the baby fig tree!

The lotus plant has an open leaf!

I want things to be better I want people to be kind I want us to value art and science and education as much as certain white men love their guns

POV: You wish people would stop wording detailed, specific things as if they were a distant observer and starting it with "POV" instead of just saying, "Look what I made yesterday afternoon!"

I can handle the pain in my leg. I have a long history of handling pain like this. But the pain in my heart when one of the cats doesn't understand why I'm not picking him up? That's just terrible!

"For queer authors of color and other multiply marginalized people, the pressure is even more intense."

An injury last night is keeping me trapped today. Okay, that sounds dramatic. I messed up a muscle in my leg last night, so I need to stay in bed. I can walk. I just shouldn't unless necessary. "I want to" doesn't count as necessary.

This show is dang gorgeous Lookit that super hot typewriter He’s just typing words on it without AI Using his brain like all the hot people do

I played my kalimba for a while after my nap. Maybe I'll figure out which corner to sit in at night so family members hear creepy music when they walk down the hall.

As much as I hate naps, it looks like I need one today. But first... Here's some info about the characters you meet in my Forest Tales stories! It's an old blog post. There are more options for buying it now. See the post here. lknesse.blogspot.com/2025/10/fore...

This Rosenbaum dipshit is the same guy who was caught using fake AI references in his recently published book that he wrote with AI about AI. No reasonable person should listen to anything he has to say bsky.app/profile/jeff...

I don't use AI in my writing. I don't use AI for research, and I don't read books or websites generated by AI. I don't use AI for making covers. I don't use AI for my blog, writing my bio or blubs, or anything.

I started six sunflower seeds and six cherry tomato seeds. Three sunflowers and two cherry tomatoes have sprouted so far.

since apparently JKR is spouting nonsense about "gametes" again, here is my in depth primer on why anti-trans groups have become so obsessed with gametes & why the actual science does not support their claims (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

There is a certain intimacy in the pages of this book where I combine my personal poems with my handwriting.

Today has been at least three days. My lack of sense of time seems to be warping into a new, weird sense of time.

one thing i really wish people would fucking learn is that "it wasn't for me" or "i was hoping for something else" is not the same thing as "it was bad" lmao grow up

Are we sure it's already the middle of the week?

I know I'm getting old because I look at the popular kalimba tabs and I've never heard of these songs. Finding out what shows the songs come from doesn't help. I've never heard of these shows! A lot of things I play on the piano easily transfer to kalimba. I have plenty of old stuff to play.

I usually feel like I'm just talking to myself on social media. I'm also kind of okay with that. I do a really good job of arguing with myself, so I don't need anybody else getting in on it. I mostly just need a place to be weird. Thank you for letting me be weird on your screens. 💜

Ah, yes... the flood of inspiration has returned! I wasn't exactly running low on ideas for writing, though. This is going to require making notes and deciding how to prioritize things.

Bill and Ted are not, at this point, having an excellent adventure. Things started falling apart for Bill after Rufus died. I messed some things up. I'm working on saving him. Ted's great! It helps if you know these are names of some of my plants, not plot progress on a fanfic.

Has it really been almost a year that "Roll for Divination!" has been out? Yep! I was looking at things a few days ago, and late June will make it one year!

#Mememay 26 This is a very specific trope that I personally hate seeing in stories. When Character 1 is having an emotional breakdown for whatever reason and Character 2 decides it's the perfect time to confess their feelings! Basically, kiss them out of a panic attack. As someone who has (1/3)

Still waiting on that first lotus leaf to open. It has been loosening. The new stem in the center went from being a little nub to breaking through the surface of the water overnight!

It’s really frightening.

Pain has been intense today, but the situation of last week is over and I'm taking things slowly.

Starting something new can be exciting! It can also be intimidating, and sometimes we talk ourselves out of it before we really get going. It's easier to believe you would have failed, and that you saved yourself from wasted time and effort, than to admit you were scared.

The night air was made of jasmine promises— a dark sky, it's shadowy co-conspirator they whispered in hushed tones, subtle as the buzz of electricity wires the evening seemed to hinge on what tomorrow might bring & amid that thrum, rhythmic as a pounding heart— I thought of you. #sensewrds 223
