Reposting the story of "Marie" and Whistles Out: a Benoit Blanc mystery, and apparently we've now sent Marie 67,000 whistles. ❤️

Do you need to repost the link to fund Marie's whistle and card underground railroad? Or are they doing all right now?

Thank you, Didi. I got it with my re-adjusted Hoopla. I will let you know what I think. Sideways nonfiction is good to have on hand. I have read Annalee's Four Lost Cities, and it is both rooted in the world, and fantastic!

Just finished The Inn At The Foot Of Mount Vengeance by Chiara Bullen. It’s wonderful! Cozy but deeper than some cozy. Set in a fantasy setting about adventurers and challenge. Also figuring out who you really are and found family. I liked it enough from the library I bought a copy.

We gotta keep fighting, Meg. I have something I want to do, too, and I felt I had to get the inflammation down before I could make a case. But we also have to figure that we don't run out of time. We play the hand we were dealt. Others will pick up the deck. 🌸

It's just been announced at NYCC so I guess I can tell you that I'm writing The Regulators for Marvel. My five issue comic series will be out in 2027. Mutants, magic and monsters woven into the very fabric of Jim Crow America.

For people having their first Waffle House hurricane experience—what matters is not whether the Waffle House closes for the storm, because if they’re in a dangerous area they will. But the big question is how quickly they reopen, whether they can use their own equipment or are using portables,

We have a couple good testing companies here. One had no test for PFAS when I wanted to buy. Said they weren't seeing it unless near small airports. I feel blessed that I don't have any pesticides/herbicides in the water here. I just have the septic pumped every 3 years. So far it's doing well. 🤞

I've been on the list to get my well pump inspected & a larger entry installed for YEARS. It's the last small-time, good group, the owner dug these wells so wanted to stay with them. He says he cannot assemble enough good teams to do non-critical maintenance. Too many emergencies & new digs.

I didn't understand her, not being a speaker of that language, but it looked like a huge improvement over other accessible tours I've seen. Descriptions, 3D, tracks on floors for orienting yourself-- Really nicely done! Wish Instagram would warn on length of videos.

I checked for everything under the sun & put in a nice softener in July. It was definitely $ but I'm saving a FORTUNE over the old softener that kicked on to recharge every other day. May pay for itself fast! No filter yet. It's iron & calcium here, and I felt plumber was overcharging for a unit.

I'm hyper-immune so I might be in trouble. But I am blessed with good well water (although hard enough to build a wall with 😂 ) Since I don't have furred ones here currently, I don't feel at risk. It was just a déjà vu feeling of the original bingo cards of the 45 administration! 🤨

You were more careful? 🌸 It's something we just gave its own name, looks like it's been around a long time. But man, I did not have "hysterically careful with water & food no matter where from" on my bingo card for this year. I just made sure the blueberries were local, at lunch. 🤨

A livestreamed execution. A call to “fight back” against Somali neighbors. A crowd cheering the imagined destruction of LA and San Diego. The Trump regime is upping the violence and spectacle, but that’s quite a tell. My write-up in the link in the comments.

We can't keep sending moderates if they're sending trolls. I was pleased when my new senator went prepared to reach compromise with anyone who wanted to pass legislation. And then went on the offense to back military, patriots, and citizens being hammered by stupid tariffs.

Maybe this will slowly inspire Salem to get braver. Friends watched their former feral slowly reach the point where the cat made the decision that *they* were all right. (Outside loud noises could still inspire a bolt.)

Wouldn't it be "cruel and unusual punishment" to livestream an execution? I know it's quaint to bring up the Constitution, but some of us still support it.

MRM's plan seems to be "acquire all rights as cheaply as possible and then make bank when we sell the options on for media development" which, NO. That cash belongs with the AUTHORS. We had media queries for stories via Uncanny. We. just. forwarded. those. to. the. authors. Ethics aren't hard.

That was the HUGE THING about when microwaves arrived. It was considered the biggest invention of its decade. My Ex wanted to know how I knew that. I told him because I got home from school & either noticed or helped with food prep. That took hours, even with thawing frozen meat.

An ancient summer cottage in my extended family had one of those electric wringers, and you used a polished STICK to feed clothing. The senior aunties trusted us with many things, but they fed the wringer. (Maybe it was fun!)

The pure link in your ALT was shut down, thanks for making sure. (This is a longtime problem name, I remember at Deadbird. You have to find out from someone what they're doing, good to mention occasionally.) The "-m" site is the one up now, it's on several mute/block lists! Sharing--

A gorgeous 22° halo around the sun today over Southwest Mountain vineyard in Virginia. Ice crystals bend and diffract the light, creating the colors, similar to a rainbow.

The sun is a white blob with a partial circle of red and blue around it. In the foreground are trees, grass, and grape vines.
