I'm just gonna stare at everyone in First Nations ancestry. You can damned well bet they used biowarfare on my ancestors. Less than 500 years ago.

I used to watch waay more movies, huge theatre goer (many of my favs are on your list!) But it's been nigh impossible to get to the theatre since covid for me. It's almost time for my annual LoTR rewatch. Recently rewatched Pirates, need to rewatch Honour Among Thieves too. After this run of BG3 😅

Hi there, other young roadrunner! Might be the one from earlier returning, it’s getting hard to tell them apart now. 🪶
A visiting roadrunner is standing on our backyard patio looking up at the camera. Its beak is open looking like a smile. We see mostly the left side of the bird with its long tail feathers pointing to the right and touching the ground behind the bird.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

#TongueOutTuesday Robin edition Harvesting the haws from the hawthorn tree. 🪶📷🌿
An American Robin, along with many of its buddies, plus a few Chickadees, and Cedar waxwings, is working over the Hawthorne tree in my sister’s backyard. The paler colors make me think this is a female and if you look close, you’ll see her tongue is out to guide that fruit into her beak and down to her belly.

In the U.S. at least historically, if you own a mule and that mule kicks someone, you’re liable for the mule’s actions, and mules have real agency and a mind. With these “escaped the sandbox” intrusions, obviously it’s a user error for not having a truly sandboxed environment. (h/t @metacurity.com )

This unassuming little lumpkin is the world’s oldest surviving tool, excavated from the archaeological site of Lomekwi 3 in Kenya. It was made some 3.3 million years ago by a human ancestor, probably someone like afarensis or Kenyanthropus (images 2-3).

Could you clarify please? I'm not xtian and would have to look up the saint. I'm taking the question of 'what if xtianity hadn't ever been much of a thing'? What would the world have looked like? Because there's no denying the destruction xtianity perpetrated to so many cultures and beliefs.

This is so early in the process that it'll probably be years before it's a finished set of books to read, but one of my favourite things about writing is doing the research to make the world building so good it feels truly alive. Meanwhile, I'm still editing the others for re-release.

Okay. Research on this CeltIberian story has me by the throat. The 'what if' ?? that starts all my series = 'what if christianity had remained a minority religion & NOT destroyed so many things. The rabbit hole has turned into a warren. Guess I'll be writing a historical fantasy. 🤣 Send carrots.

Looking back at last week's spectacular sunset that I got to enjoy from my kayak. It turned what was otherwise and unremarkable, mostly cloudy sky and uninteresting shoreline into something incredible.
A old dry-docked lake freighter sits on the silhouetted shoreline against the backdrop of a brilliant sunset. It's streaks of orange and deep red, lighting up pillows of clouds with deep blue sky in between. The whole scene is mirrored in the still water of the Icelandic river in the foreground.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is walking around and encounters an unexpected persimmon on the floor. As he goes on, he passes a larger pile of the fruit, and then arrives at a persimmon pile that's twice the size of a fox. On the centre of it is Green, serenely basking in the presence of ripe persimmon with his eyes closed.
Blue: It's persimmon season?
Green: It's persimmon season.
