A trope map of The Purloined Poodle. It says: Why pugs are the politest dogs in the park. The Irish wolfhound is the detective. The human just helps because he has thumbs. There is nothing more important than poodle recovery. Fights crime, eats sausage.

If you like dogs, I wrote four meaty mysteries featuring Oberon the Irish Wolfhound. His lil’ buddy Starbuck and his Druid, Atticus, help out a bit, but he’s the brilliant crime fighter and he deserves a snack. So start with THE PURLOINED POODLE!

That should take care of you.

I...could do more, but I'm not going to. :p

That is truly amazing and an insane coincidence. What!!! 😍😍😍😍

WHAT!

Landlordism is a scourge & a crime against humanity. The few good landlords do not excuse what is being allowed to happen in Ireland (& the rest of the West). Nationalise all rentals, including Air BnBs. Once everyone is housed decently, calculate rents based on income using the formula councils use

Does it help if I promise I will not be getting through all, or perhaps even half, of it today?

My mom holding an embroidery of a trilobite wearing a crown of flowers.

My mom - a geologist - gets out the embroidery that I made her every spring. Because trilobites wearing a crown of flowers are a harbinger of springtime.

Still morning in Brisbane.

Resplendent in purple hues, Brisbane city by the river.

I need to update this as the newly built Kangaroo Point pedestrian bridge crosses this scene.

But as I was reading I KEPT THINKING about this icon I'd made literal decades ago when icons on LJ were all the rage. I I spent over an hour trying to find it. I was *sure* it said 'unbreakable,' but sadly I was wrong. :)

(it was only 100x100, sorry for jagginess. I kinda wanna remake it now tho.)

Oh my God. I've finally read @gailsimone.bsky.social's UNBREAKABLE X-MEN and just like everybody else, I'm in tears. Bravo. 😭🥹

Okay. Having achieved 50K this month and four entire days in a row off work, I'm now doing Mostly Admin today.
