Oh hell, it occurs to me that everybody’s posting their eligibility stuff from 2025, so… NOVEL: Hemlock & Silver Snake-Eater NOVELLA: What Stalks The Deep SHORT STORY: That Thing With Bob And The Crop Circles World of the White Rat isn’t eligible for anything, but hopefully next year!

On a plane heading back to MI after a delightful week with @tkingfisher.com and @sonney.com I was introduced to MTG and got 4 life birds! Sadly dipped on the Common Crane after an entire day of looking. I thought the guys at the car rental place were going to cry seeing the amount of mud on the car

On my recent trip we wound up being delayed for 6 days because of weather issues. Now my luggage has been delayed for an equal amount of time. Apparently one of our bags is back here the other is supposedly in Copenhagen, although in 6 days time no one has put it on a plane yet.

Our vacation wound up being extended for an extra six days due to flight cancellations, last one occurring after we had already taken the train to the Airport. So we were rebooked, Norway to Denmark to Heathrow to home. Except SAS didn’t actually the ticket for last leg 1

We have been rebooked 3 times and are delayed by 6 days flying out. I have a text from delta telling us that the weather forecast looks dodgy and we might cancel you again. 12 hours to check in. There is mountain hiding back there. I’ve been checking our flight status at least once an hour.

willow ptarmigan. Thank you for spreading the bird word, @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social

Since our hosts are stuck with us unexpectedly for 3 extra days due to airline issues they have put a bird feeder for me to watch. It’s like the cat sitting beside the aquarium. I will stay here all day with occasional trips to the coffee machine.

I’ll bet Trump is expecting Maria Corina Machado to hand over her peace prize to him to express her gratitude.

Kristoff is wondering where his reindeer wandered off to

There is trump who wants to make comics making fun of him illegal, and then there is our former guy www.facebook.com/share/r/1b7j...

It’s our wedding anniversary coming up shortly and this year it’s the “new water heater” anniversary. Skip that silver anniversary nonsense

My husband is a genius at writing computer languages, this is how he folds paper.

I oh so carefully packed my drug case for my weekend at MFF, to bad I didn’t check the case to make sure it had my drugs in them. Thank you @dhstein.bsky.social for swinging by to pick them up! Otherwise I would’ve had a panic attack. No wait, Xanax is the only drug I actually have with me :)

@tkingfisher.com book Hemlock and Silver is on NPR’s list of Books we love for 2025! Now I wouldn’t call it deeply creepy *thinks about mirror gelds* never mind

I am in this song and I don’t like it. youtu.be/YuAaOWAwNe4?...

I did a thing!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jen... #kickstarter #comicbook #graphicnovel #parenthood #kids #selfpublishing

Some childhood nostalgia, a rotary iron. It was my job to iron the sheets and pillow cases. It’s nice to see see them..in a catalogue

Fancy furry dinner ware for your holiday table from Williams and Sonoma

A tuff ruff would never cross a picket line.

The Canadian version of “Speed” this is the most Canadian thing ever www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's a good time in history to get yourself something huggable

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink. I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

We handed out Canadian candy and some of the kids recognized it and asked for extras of their favourites. One set of kids came by twice, I made them tell me they were rooting for the Blue Jays before handing over the Smarties.

It is surprising just how well a wee pink cat blends in on greenish carpeting waiting for me to come down the stairs.

This is how it done

This is how my generation always thought it was going to end. In searing lights and ash caused by a madman.

Normal person, wants some tomato soup and buys their favourite brand. Me-makes stock, buys some local tomatoes and roasts them up with onions and a head of garlic and purées the lot and serves with fresh basil. Then I made some cheesy bacon scones to with the soup. Why I am like this?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *squint* *deep breath* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gasp* *gasp* Joshua Tyler, go home. You're drunk.

Thank you, Chicago.

I was reading about the game last night and the article was full and stats and records that had me shaking my head. Then I thought about conversations I have had. “OMG! a Little Stint has been found on the coast, first record since 1998, it’s a Code 5 state bird!” I will never tease my BIL’s again

Grand slam!! Go Jays!

"Provincial officials allied with the Trump regime have jailed a political dissident for over a month after he made comments on social media critical of the authoritarian leader and a recently slain political ally who founded an influential group to radicalize America's 'White' ethnic majority."

Halloween costume ideas for birders.

It’s cool and rainy and the official start of flannel shirt season. The cat came zipping over and pawed at my shirt so I would button her into it.

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

My husband and I are in a silent contest which one of us can pretend that we aren’t hearing the cat throw up the most and have to go clean it up.

when i say that i yelped in shock at this kid’s sign

I really hope a go fund me gets posted for her. Every day of trump’s rule is an obscenity and then there is this clever protest. You go unknown penis lady.

This is the kind of dedicated petty I can get behind.

My mom’s protest signs, as always, are a helluva thing.

Since the launch of the 2nd #NoKings mobilization, the Trump regime has escalated their authoritarian agenda. We won’t back down. On Oct. 18, we’re telling this wannabe dictator: America belongs to us. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. app.sosha.ai/s/GLV3dTgM

I think it time for you to give me food #caturday

Crossing the border from Canada back into the US Border Guard: Did you buy anything while you were in Canada? Me: Yes! Four giant boxes of Canadian Halloween candy that I’m totally not going to eat before Halloween BG… Me: Really, not eat BG: Have a nice evening

THE VIDEO IS OUT! Enjoy! 😁 youtu.be/9k7OUowPPMQ

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s Publication Day!!!! 🥹 timberpress.com/titles/dexte... 🪶
