Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

I think the median American position on trans rights is something like “I don’t understand why that man wants to wear a dress but by God it’s his right as an American” which is pretty good, you can work with that

I loved all the details that made the world and the city and the university in which this story was set come alive, and the protagonists were all people I was happy to root for. None of them were perfect, but all touchingly human.

Boy, this was good! Terrific coming-of-age story/murder mystery with world building that I really, really liked. An academy at peak exam time featuring five students who all have their own compelling stories that are slowly revealed over the course of the novel. #booksky #fantasy #reading

Main character syndrome on a geopolitical scale. "Of course everything I do will magically work out the way it did in my head. No NPC would have motivations and tactics of their own."

They got permission to work on everyone's servers and kept things running - one guy, and my husband on the phone backstopping him.

I've never forgotten - my husband actively avoided the news that day and for some time thereafter. He was working via phone with someone who had not evacuated the server rooms in a nearby building.

What keeps me awake nights on this front is the "nuclear bunker" aspect of the White House ballroom construction. Once he believes he'll be safe, will any of the rest of us be safe??

Those are very beautiful! I really like the way the soft folds enhance the fabrics (the sheen on the tie pieces). What a lovely idea.

Same. I grew up in PA and moved away in 2010, and thought he was great. Sole consolation, I still think Dr Oz would have been worse.

WIP Wednesday: laying out the leaves for border number 4. #quiltsky #applique

A wide applique border of green vines and morning glory leaves on rust background fabric. The top edge of the border is cream and pale blue chevrons. Below the leaves are small traditional blocks set on point and a fan block at the corner, all in blues, creams, and pinks.

It'll be really pretty when done, I like your green fabric! But alas I agree with you re the plain squares.

WIP Wednesday: border number four in the scabrous stage, and I'm trying to get used to wearing a thimble again. So much faster and easier once accustomed, and no risk of running the very fine needle end into my finger. #quiltsky #applique #quilting

A wide border in rust-colored fabric spread on a table. At the top edge of the border are small traditional blocks set on point in blues, creams, and pinks, along the bottom edge are chevrons in alternating light blue and cream. Down the center of the border, green vines are being appliqued in place. Some pieces are basted in place and some are fully sewn. Because some of the vines will be covered with leaves, the appliquer is skipping the parts that will be hidden, so the vines have gaps. On the table above the border is the fabric used for the vines and a pencil case holding applique notions: needles in a fabric scrap, silk threads in various colors, pens and pencils, small scissors, etc.
