I'll play the colour game, with my big fluffy domestic longhair.

I baked blue cheese and rosemary shortbread a couple of months ago. Reactions ranged from "This is a violation of the Geneva conventions" to "This is weirdly ok."

I've been thinking of making another batch, I found them to be quite tasty.

It's of course snowing and complete cloud coverage here. Only mildly (very) envious of those getting a good show tonight.

Thanks for the update! I've been checking 1-2x a week to see when it would be available.

So, we maybe don't do shots...

This seems like an excellent idea.

Physical books never stopped being in fashion, even with younger readers. I strongly suspect this is in no small part due to books being a common gift, and now Romantasy is getting buyers used to pretty editions with endpapers and sprayed edges.

That looks like a lot of fun! It's good to have accent pieces and colours that pop.

I just expect we'll both be sleep-deprived zombies at work tomorrow. It's fine, it's forecasted to be rainy, so it'll be quiet.

It's the main riding I'm watching at this point.

This primer is still good today (election day)! Great thread for folks who aren’t up to speed on Canadian politics

Murderbot is going through it in the first trailer for Apple’s sci-fi series Starring Alexander Skarsgård.

I'm not excited. You're excited. I'm definitely not just trying to resist temptation to watch this on repeat.

Murderbot!

Tomorrow!

I’m not doomscrolling I’m just crashing my emotional stock market

Happy #AprilFoolsDay, Toronto!

We’re on Bluesky and we’re not joking.

I concede that on one level the ‘Gulf of America’ idiocy is just a toddler screaming in his sandbox. On another, I wrote a novel 35 years ago, TIGANA, about how tyrants erase (or try to) names, history, art to consolidate their control of people.

So, it matters. Symbols do. So does acquiescence.

Looking forward to this one! Toronto folks, come join us on March 1st at the Merril Collection for an afternoon with Premee Mohamed.

Chris was telling me to go walk in a sunny patch, which I'm pretty sure is a threat to redheads along the lines of "Go burn!"

I'd need some aloe for that.

Otherwise it'd immediately die in my sunless apartment

Loving this Toronto coat of arms designed by Jode Roberts, highly recommend checking out his work in the the show on now at the newly opened Gallery 1065 in Bloorcourt

That's a pretty quality cat pic. I think it's permissible, or even encouraged, to do both.

I'll add another, to help.

Yeah, you've either got to say something along those lines or share a cat pic.

If you can, you should!
@bakkaphoenix.bsky.social is a great bookstore
@kevinhearne.bsky.social is a great author and most entertaining to attend his reading and signing.
So, Toronto area colleagues, acquaintances, and friends, do the thing if you have the spoons!

Long haired fluffy cat peering over the edge of a great couch seat. A whisker is poking out of the top of his head, giving him a slight unicorn appearance.

Decided I'd make my own account, rather than exclusively using my work one.

Obligatory Merlin photo!
