For a second I thought my wife had posted this picture and she's not even ON Bluesky! Allow me to introduce you to Kiki and Koko, brother and sister litter-mates. Koko's in the foreground here.

It's time for #bulbposting 2025, Fall edition! This tool is the bulb planter's best friend. I only had 12 narcissus bulbs to plant today, but this was a lifesaver last fall when I planted 50 or so Siberian squill bulbs. #flowers #gardening

The fact that "AO3 Maintenance" is a trending topic says pretty much everything you need to know about Bluesky.

Because fuck you, I'm an adult, I can do what I want - I bought a cotton candy machine. I'm pleased to report that Werther's Originals can indeed be made into cotton candy. Also, the controls are comedy gold - INSURANCE!

Inspired by Technology Connections' (@techconnectify.bsky.social) video about awnings, I've installed awnings on two windows of one of our bedrooms!

"Breakin' the law, breakin' the law!" Not really, though. Every time I use my Flipper Zero to clone my hotel key and open my door, I feel like such a 1337 h4xx0r! And I wonder why hotels are still using Mifare Classic RFID cards. #flipperzero #rfid #security

BULBS!!! The hyacinth is mostly in full bloom now! And a patch of grape hyacinth appeared in the lawn in a spot that I thought it had been wiped out from, so that was a nice surprise! #bulbs #flowers #spring #bulbposting

It's so nice when they're doing this rather than trying to murder each other.

Wait... Loop antennas. Is that what the Cybermen from Dr. Who have going on?

The great thing about BULBS is that they change every day! We're finally getting some actual blooms, including the first Siberian squill of the season! #bulbs #flowers #squill

I prefer raw-doggin' it with a desktop PC, but I really just came here to show you what I saw right after your question.

How cold was it this morning? Cold enough that an icicle formed on the indoor side of this window mechanism purely through heat conduction.
