Well, corn can be called a fruit and it’s the concentrated liquid of a plant, so in the same way that wine is a fruit and chocolate is a bean?

Spooky season has arrived! 🔪🎃 Share something spooky, scary, or creepy to kick off the month 🖤

Blurry photo of a black cat and kittens looking up into the camera but it’s distorted and looks like some seven eyed, eight tailed, eldritch creature. Text, when you piss piss piss into the voice, sometimes it piss piss pisses back.

Comic of stand à la Lucy from Peanuts. A tentacle faced, winged creature sits at the stand labeled, psychological torture, five cents. The unspeakable eldritch horror is in.

Comic in four panels titled the best parts about fall. Panel 1, cozy flannels: woman wearing a red flannel shirt. Panel 2, hot beverages, she happily holds a steaming mug. Panel 3, return of the old ones: Forest monsters stand over her. Panel 4, bonfires with friends, they happily sit around a bonfire in the woods with their mugs.

If you haven’t read Station Eleven, you should. You should also watch the show. “Survival is insufficient.” Tbh, this book is so much better than The Road by Cormac McCarthy. That book was thought provoking, but Station Eleven gave me frisson at its climax. The show was different and amazing, too.

M. Rogers - Fantasy Writer @mrogerswrites.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yes. Survival is insufficient. 🥰 We still need Alf and comedy and art. Besides, I have a weird knowledge of safe to eat plants. Hope you like cattail pollen flour.

I grew up feeling unloveable. The tale I told myself over and over was, I am unlovable therefore I must make myself lovable. It took me a long time to realize I was wrong. Parenting books with those sorts of affirmations have helped me in my journey of becoming a healthier human and mom.

M. Rogers - Fantasy Writer @mrogerswrites.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

You are loveable. You are enough. You have always been enough. You are good inside. I believe this is true of almost all people, so without knowing you, I believe it’s true about you. I hope you will soon feel valued in the ways that you need, whether that’s from friends or romance or family.

Busan has a new resident named Bukangi, a shark who started chilling in the canals near the train station a couple weeks ago. The city has been trying all sorts of schemes to gently lead her back to the ocean but she foils every attempt and swims back and forth being admired by crowds of fans.

Apparently today is International Podcast Day, which seems as good an excuse as any to talk about ocean podcasts! There are so many good ones out there, covering everything from marine science and conservation to life at sea, ocean careers, history, policy... there's even comedy ocean podcasts!

What about you? Did you have a theme to your room as a teen? My room now is… not themed. It’s in the middle of being changed up. I need to paint it. The paint is ready and waiting.

Thank you! My bedroom as a teen was space themed. I had all kinds of things hanging from the ceiling. I was so obsessed with Star Trek and of course I had the Rand McNally moon poster on the wall.

Grandiloquent Word of the Day @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Roorback (n.) - A false or deliberately distorted report circulated to damage a political opponent or gain political advantage. “Three days before the election, a roorback appeared in The Times, accusing Pemblesnitch of iniquities so ostrobogulous that his poll numbers actually improved.”

A “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme for "Roorback", defined as a false or deliberately distorted report circulated to damage a political opponent or gain political advantage. The example sentence reads: “Three days before the election, a roorback appeared in The Times, accusing Pemblesnitch of iniquities so ostrobogulous that his poll numbers actually improved.” At right, an antique political cartoon depicts a portly, crown-wearing ruler lounging on a keg of gunpowder labeled “Financial Question,” with the caption “Our American Czar and His Do-Nothing Policy.”
