Ah, the joy of cryptid-keeping. Still amused yours play so nicely together. Mine are.. um.. well.. at least they sleep at similar times… now.

Ohio is quickly reminding me that empathy and intelligence are becoming rare properties, both in the populace and the legislature. *facepalm* Way to cut off the nose to spite the face, guys.

A drawing of a little hippogriff standing in a library. The caption reads, "focusing on what I love today"

I swear, inspiration has a clock that tells the most ironic time to strike..

Graphic that reads: "The average hourly wage necessary to afford a one-bedroom apartment in the United States is $28.17. The federal minimum wage is currently $7.25." -- National Low Income Housing Coalition

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

so this one hit me with some Feels

Do I give in to the schadenfreude…

SAVE IT! It's time to starve the billionaires who are wrecking our country ...

📌What if we starve the corporate, high-test scum like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg and their slobbery minions who fall at their fat little feet?

📌What if we say, “We’ll set the terms,” if even for a day?
📌What if we say, “Not without us you don’t.”

📌Well ... TODAY IS THE DAY!

Guess who the comic relief character is in THE WITCH WHO TRADES WITH DEATH? 😁

Narrowing the range of permitted expressions of gender diminishes the quality of life for literally everyone. Gender is layered, flavorful, expansive — part of the winding process through which a human’s internal elements manifest on the surface.

To hate this is to hate all people, and yourself.

@moirdryd.bsky.social found you!

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Big stretch! Have a snack, take your meds.
-You’ve made it this far. That’s worth celebrating.
-Bitey friend has promised to watch any flying reindeer, not try and snack on them.

From (much) farther north, I hear the faint cry
Of plans overset, of confusion wrought nigh.

Among sweet cysers kept chilled, savored rich mead—
Perhaps I can offer snowy succor
for this yearly deed.

I can offer you Leicester, Romano or Gruyère,
In perhaps a small hope of tempting you there.

I genuinely can hear this in my head. I had one cat who absolutely refused to ride in a carrier and ended up on the back of my mother’s head on one trip to the vet.

Aaaaaah! Grumpy koala plush! I want one, even though I seem to recall the shenanigans that Shep started using them…

But, Shep, the owls LOVE you!!!

The year is on its knees, waiting for the blade of ice. We roast ale. We roast cider. Rough music fills the air. The Bone Horse dances the night #WinterSolstice

I miss Sir Terry Pratchett but his wisdom remains.

I swear, this and The Ewok Adventure felt like hallucinations until I found other people that had seen them…

I mean, I have been giving most of the grass and mushroom based Pokemon the side-eye since finishing a few of her books… 😅

For millennia, Nimrod was the name of a mighty hunter, but 3 generations of people's exposure to cartoon animals using it ironically in *2* stories turns it into a word people use to mean "an unintelligent, easily fooled person."

But do tell us more about your "constitutional/biblical originalism."

Having finished @tkingfisher.com’s What Moves the Dead, I’m struck with two reactions: a) Easton is a fantastic person and ka deserves several books… and b) on Eugenia Potter.. Dammit Ursula! *cackles* #UnhelpfulReviews

@tkingfisher.com, are you writing Co-Star horoscopes now? Having just finished A House with Good Bones, I have to wonder. 😉
