One of my children today informed me, if you take the 'er's off butter cracker, you get butt crack. That is all.

Happy Birthday @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social ! Added a new thing to SffAuthors.ie - If it’s your birthday, you're automatically author of the day. (I’m pulling dates from wikipedia so I only have them for some people)

The front page of sffauthors.ie, featuring Sarah Rees Brennan as author of the day. It also features a banner which reads Happy Birthday to Sarah Rees Brennan

This post is making the rounds again for some reason and therefore I feel I must inform you that they’ve hired another one so there are now TWO forensic pathologists working in Iceland.

Ok I missed an entire day, but 723 words tonight. I'll take it!

I really like this. They could push me to buy this or that, but instead I'm just being encouraged to dive back in to things I already own.

Posting my wordcounts here as a sort of online accountability. Today: 500 words. Ended scene. Counted words. Exactly 500 I'm committing myself to matching that every day.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Is it a legal requirement for horse trailers to say HORSES on the back or is everyone just like bragging about having horses?

I'm on a roll with these sffauthors.ie updates. 1) Separate Book Series for authors. (will take me a while to add them all) 2) Mini-events: single author events like book signings. @mytholder.bsky.social is the first one for his upcoming book signing for #DungeonBook
