Photo of a toddler with curly hair sitting on a beautiful little tricycle and smiling at the camera. She is on the doorstep of a house and a short haired tabby cat looks up at her from where it stands next to her.

Making mischief plans for the day. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Nothing says respect for the Georgia Women's Tennis team than relegating them to the being the background of the picture.

So... the new Secretary of the Navy... never served in the military... I'll repeat. I have two sons in the US Navy. I spent 20 years serving. This can't stand. The Ford has been deployed for almost 300 days... Those guys should be home. It's a fucking mess of epic proportion.

I literally yelled at the screen, "Look, motherfucker-"

This guy and reality are not well acquainted.

Same guy just said that he didn't believe that "most tech bros" are evil. They are specifically talking about AI right now.

Seeing an econ professor say that we don't have any people in the USA without indoor plumbing with his whole chest may be my next villain origin story.

Please spread the word! Hugh needs a home. Look how sweet and gorgeous he is!

this goes so hard

The fact that Trump had appointed a totally unqualified donor to be Secretary of the Navy leading into what turned into the biggest crisis for the US Navy since World War 2 could be covered like the media covered Michael "Brownie" Brown during Hurricane Katrina.

Here's a lovely photo of Dorble Dorble. He's a fabric art purple creature. He's purple with bulbous wide set eyes, a wide frown with sharp teeth, and two tentacles of different sizes. His longer tentacle is curled around his eye. His head is wider than his body. He's rather amorphous. There's a beautiful marbled paper in the background.

Here's another lovely photo of Dorble where he's resting on my palm.

Here's another lovely photo of Dorble with one tentacle curled upward and one curled downward.

Meet my newest fabric art creature: Dorble Dorble the Semi-Magnificent. I designed him, hand-sewed his eyelids and mouth, and I machine-sewed his outer edges. Dorble Dorble strives to become semi-magnificent in all things.

I'm being totally suppressed in the other place -- altho someone suggested shadowbanned, but I don't know the difference -- apparently bc I say things elmo doesn't like. Not that anyone ever paid attention to my writing anyway (hash tags or not), so what the hell. 🤪 #WritingCommunity #turtlewriters

@shlingdong.bsky.social I just popped into BSky and then, as always, wondered why. 😜

That's awesome! Congratulations!

MY DEBUT EARNED OUT!

It's taken 3 years + 1 month to earn back the £470 I spent on cover, editing, isbns, merch etc. Considering all the factors against me/this book, I'm so freaking proud. It's the *first* book I wrote in English.

I hope I can hit 350 copies sold this month 👀

This is an excellent read.
The Repukes are giving away the natural beauty of the BWCA to a Chilean billionaire whose company is notorious for contaminating the land.

All the bodies of water in the BWCA watershed are connected. When one gets contaminated. They all get contaminated.

Paperback book copy of Issac Asimov's The Naked Sun, with a Chris Foss artwork on cover of a giant robot.

I was less impressed with this than the previous book, the descriptions of Bayley's fears of being outside were interesting, as was the Solarians disgust of personal contact and 'seeing' people, but I just find the main character so unlikeable it grates on me. #booksky #SF #scifi
