Too many books??? I believe the phrase you’re looking for is not enough bookshelves

Take a visual break from the continuous onslaught of depressing news with this scenic view of the Betsie River that I took in September. Paddling across Green Lake and down the river in my little kayak is such a peaceful, spirit-renewing experience. ❤️ #michigan #artistlife #nature #kayak #joy

A view of the perfectly calm waters of Northwest Michigan's Betsie River from my kayak, the blue sky and clouds reflected by the river like a mirror, with red and green lily pads and trees lining the shore like a textured green living wall.

I found some amazing coral mushrooms (not an edible kind) growing in front of our summer cottage in NW Michigan last week. Along with Slippery Jacks and "Chicken Fat" mushrooms which are edible - I sliced and dried those. 😊 #Michigan #wildmushrooms

One thing I love about spending summers in NW Michigan is the proliferation of wildflowers along every rural road & highway across the state. From June to October, each month brings different flowers & different colors - not needing human tending, just blooming by themselves and it's wonderful. ❤️

It's funny because it's so true (also sad, depressing and disheartening.) Would you believe I saved a photo of that pink-wearing NK newswoman several years ago on my phone and share it every so often, pointing out how right wing media has devolved into the same NK authoritarian propaganda machine?

No, the garage was too dim to see anything other than "spider" before my friend stomped on it. The doctor was very reassuring about local spiders being 99.9% harmless, I got a tetanus shot, and was much improved by the next day. But still! Not a fun experience. I hope you're feeling better soon!

Kristin @anicat68.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

I can relate! I stepped barefoot on a spider a couple of months ago and it bit me - I've never experienced such crippling pain, not even a wasp sting was that bad. I didn't think it was a poisonous spider & hated going to an urgent care clinic, but the pain convinced me that I needed an exam. 😢

I'm so sorry you're dealing with a wrist injury - and I really think you should go get it checked out at one of those urgent care clinics or an ER, someplace that can do an x-ray. They can stabilize the wrist properly for you & make sure no further damage happens. Sending healing energy to you! 🤗🙏

So in the big #StarWars cast panel this afternoon, Katee Sackhoff & Simon Kassianides probably just helped pre-sell 1500+ tickets for 2026 by saying they've been talking, and next year they both want to join the madness and do the Bunny Hutch costume contest. 😮😁😂❤️👊🐰 #DragonCon2025 @DragonCon

We hope you enjoyed some of the more “unusual” placeholder data that was in the app the last few days. Regretfully, due to continuing mineral shortages the "Build your own thermonuclear warhead" event has been postponed until a later date. We’ll continue to work on it.

Did you notice the body language? My mom pointed it out: Trump was unconsciously mirroring Putin as the two were sitting together after the meeting. A physical tell for someone seeking the other's approval. Also, his posture was like a little kid sitting in a corner, after doing something wrong.

I remember them claiming that they couldn't breathe, that wearing a mask would cause great harm from restricted airflow including brain damage from insufficient oxygen. And yet here they are now, ICE & other militia/security forces wearing masks which cover the entire face, not dying from asphyxia.

That's impressive, a job in Intelligence! He sounds like a great guy, and doing important work. Fair winds and following seas to him! Even if he's currently land locked. 😊

I appreciate your son's service! Where is he stationed? My stepdad was a Navy Master Chief, his war was Vietnam. One of his ships was the Forrestal, aka "Forest Fire" - a bit of black humor from the sailors after the tragic accident on deck.

Wow, what a family legacy! My great-uncle Joe was a Marine in WWII, he served in the Pacific and was part of the Battle of Iwo Jima. He was a such a great guy, I wish I could have known him as an adult. Those soldiers & sailors truly were the Greatest Generation! ❤️🇺🇸

So after years of trial & error, I decided if all my lilies (and hostas) were proving to be the plants best suited for the soil, sun & environment conditions, why not just keep going with what works. 😎

Kristin @anicat68.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

This is a great article, thanks for sharing it! My garden has both types, the day lilies were the first flowers that survived & thrived while all the daisies, cone flowers and other flowers I tried didn't make it.

Kristin @anicat68.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

My next goal is to maybe get a few of the kind that bloom twice in a season, instead of only the once. Do you have any experience with those? I haven't run across any for sale in garden centers or the farmers market, but I've seen them online. 😎

Kristin @anicat68.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

I love lilies - trial & error over the past 7-8 years has shown that these beautiful perennials are the perfect flowers for our garden's conditions. So I've been adding all sorts of colors & varieties, so happy they are thriving & slowly starting to spread. Yay for lilies! Here's a few pics! 😊❤️

Eleven years ago, I played a failed writer in a feature film. I have now released my first book, a life-long ambition. www.amazon.co.uk/MY-EGO-SCREW... I'm hoping the real writer does better than the character. 🤓 #Writingcommunity #Booksky #memoir #books #booklover

Consider how people have been performing Shakespeare for hundreds of years: the scripts are identical, but each performance with different actors & setting makes them distinct! David Tennant did a "modern" version, with security cameras creating the watching eyes & paranoia of Hamlet's life. 😎

Kristin @anicat68.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

But despite the similarities, it would still be your original story, told in your own voice! And then consider all the other factors that can add to the uniqueness: each actor brings their approach to the characters, cinematography, editing.

Watching one of those "20 weird things you didn't know" videos about #TheBluesBrothers movie, and I legit LOL'd to learn that Aykroyd's initial script was *324* pages long. The studio execs were like "is this for real?" 😂😂😂 @scriptchat.bsky.social #scriptchat #filmmaking #writing #movie #screenplay

Ya'll are both motivating & giving me anxiety....I too have been playing around with a series concept for a while: an Asimov/Heinlein-esque character-driven #scifi set 300 years in the future. I've planned out 2 5-year season arcs, with an idea for 11-15. This seems like a bit of overkill, lol. 😂

My friend up in Vancouver suggested this idea, saying it could be called Canada's "Southern Territories". 😎

I asked this very same question in a political group on FB a few weeks back: if & when the Blue-donor states would realize that two could play the "withhold funding" game. I think this is the "states rights" hardball we need right now, in these unprecedented times without rules or norms.

"Plausible deniability" sabotage. The DeSantis administration here in Florida did the same thing in my city (Jacksonville): a Pride march across the Main Street Bridge downtown was thwarted by FDOT raising the Bridge during the scheduled time "for maintenance". 😮🙄😢

Kristin @anicat68.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

Right?! Those men (and women) stepped up when called to service, whether the battlefield or home front. They gave their lives and sacrificed so much, then came home & began building a better world. And in 100 days it's all being destroyed. For what purpose? Absolutely nothing, except spite & power.

Kristin @anicat68.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

He was an amazing guy, I wish I had the chance to know him as an adult. Used his GI Bill education to get a business degree, founded Mr Steak restaurant chain, invented an ice cream flavor, etc. A Marine to the end, he did pushups every morning until cancer took him. The Greatest Generation = ❤️🇺🇸

Kristin @anicat68.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

My great-uncle Joe was one of those Marines who served in the Pacific, and fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima. I'm glad he's not alive to see this disgrace of a President, the destruction of our democracy and the downward slide to the authoritarianism rule he fought so hard against.

Can I point out that this is one of the major reasons the old Soviet Union collapsed: bankrupting its entire economy in service to its military, competing against the US in the Arms & Space Race. The system starved its people of a functioning society as it spent everything on the Cold War.
