Picard and John de Lancie as Q is transcendent in the recent reboot of Next Generation. But Q in the first iteration of The Next Generation was annoying and terrifying.

Pics are just not working on bsky right now, huh?

I thought maybe that was the rain, here. Good to know it’s not just South Texas.

lovely to be among this great company!

It’s the first foul wind I ever knew to blow from astern

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

I can't have anything with gluten cross contamination, even. But I definitely go through long periods where I live on gluten free canned soup and frozen entrees. I never pay attention to salt, and it doesn't seem to matter.

Would you like to trade?

I’m about to finish Dungeon Crawler Carl 7. So worth it.

I got mine from ThriftBooks and the Austin library. I think they might be selling seconds (like a page is short or bent or something), but each 600-800 page book was maybe 25 US?

We should normalize celebrating the date you decided to quit using Amazon the way people annually mark their sobriety

Breathe not a whisper here;
The place where thou dost stand is hallowed ground;
In silence gather near this upheaved mound -
Around the soldier's bier.

Here Liberty may weep,
And Freedom pause in her unchecked career,
To pay the sacred tribute of a tear
O'er the pale warrior's sleep.

A sceptical and very clean sable and white corgi looks up at the camera. There’s a dog crate, an orange cat toy, and a large fish bone chew visible.

Emmy bath accomplished. #corgicrew

The thing is, I was just a summer camper. I think he was there for the last concert that summer. Like he was around Interlochen more than they will admit.

I attended Interlochen when I was about sixteen. Epstein was there for at least one concert after party. He was very into trying to get the teenage female students to talk to him. It’s kind of hard to forget.

They’re not aware. I didn’t know.

O sea-wind, do not name me; I have worn an investiture of harm.
O blackthorn, keep your blossoms: my beauty has no charm
but that which frost has on the field before it kills the green.
I should be left, a fallen nest, all hidden and not seen.

Afternoon patrols in neighborhood are underway!

I just had a huge Dodge Ram truck drive on the sidewalk to get past my car, almost hitting me. They had to wait maybe ten seconds because there was a Waymo and a line of cars.

Too bad I memorize license plates and street intersections easily. Someone who hates trucks might call the police.

This is my third year participating in the #2DayPoem2026 contest with @cv2magazine.bsky.social . I've got a solid first draft so think I will have a walk to let it simmer, then come back to tweak for a second draft.
