NEWS: Delighted to announce Moonchaser, the next Courier novella, is coming in 2027 from @underlandpress.bsky.social!

One of the unreservedly awesome things about living rural as a neurodivergent person is that I'm no longer so constantly overstimulated that I'm stressed and cranky all the time. I'm happy to visit cities and happy to leave. I can move through the world thinking 'Fuck it's good to be alive.'

Retirement goals: opening a bar like this Open 7 days/week But because I'm very old hours of operation would be 1pm to 6pm

I am super loving 4x3 and smush, which both scratch the NYT daily puzzle games itch but are made by people I actually want to give my clicks to. Yesterday I suggested a word in smush and it got added to the dictionary!

A screenshot of a smush completion screen with an achievement called out. The achievement is "Lexicographer -- your word is in the game now."

This baby goat's ears look like this all the time. When she's excited, they get even more floaty.

A light brown baby goat of mixed Nubian and Spanish breeds. Her ears are long and round, like a Nubian's, but float at an improbable 45 degree angle off the sides of her head.

The cats love this partial wall, known in my house as "the up tall," so much it's pretty much worth the whole mortgage.

A picture taken while standing on the floor looking up at a three quarters height wall. The Emperor Theodosius Magnus, Augustus, Fortunatus, et Pius, who is a large black cat with green eyes, is reclining on top of the wall. His head and front paws are visible. He is approximately four feet above my head. He looks pretty happy.

Fire got bigger but didn't explode overnight. Next couple days will tell us a lot. Meanwhile, this sky.

A green and brown landscape capped by a blue sky and patchy cirrocumulus clouds. Maxfield Parrish ass place to live.

Glad the wind is blowing directly away from the house and into largely unpopulated areas.

A picture of a plume of grey white smoke over the horizon. It's from a wildfire that started about 20 miles away from our house.

Spiritual sequel to @paultremblay.bsky.social's HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS but it's about living rural and it's called YARD FULL OF GOATS

A roan red and white Nubian goat stands with several of her compatriots in my yard. Not pictured are other goats, but they're there. They're always there.

This was pretty much all dirt and mulch a couple months ago. Now hearing the sprinklers drip water off the leaves makes me happy. Water in the desert is a miracle, even though in this case it's a small, human-made miracle. Keep going.

Several garden beds enclosed in a fence. The sprinklers are running and all the plants are happy.

Thought people might enjoy this video, which I took for my mother because her friends asked to see video of "the little baby goats who come running when they hear [my] voice." Made for old ladies I've never met, so unlike most of my videos this one is safe for work and children.

Oh also: Zachary Coffin's Temple of Gravity (pic from the artist's Instagram). 180,000 lbs of stone and metal, simultaneously graceful and solid. Set the bar for what installation art could do for me for a long time.

Two bent metal arches meeting in the center, suspending four enormous slabs of concrete above the playa at Burning Man.

Yes but unfortunately for her she's in line behind this guy

Got a fancy tag for our little space alien

A silicone dog tag with the word DAISY on it. The tag depicts a UFO with a beam coming down toward the word. The tag is attached to a light blue reflective collar. Behind the collar, a relaxed looking golden dog sits patiently.

Important update: no chip, no lost dog posts matching her description. She's ours. She charmed everyone at the vet by offering all of them hugs, even when her paws required two shots of lidocaine so they could go digging around in wounds looking for more foxtails. Welcome to the madhouse, Daisy.

A selfie partially showing a white woman smiling at the camera but primarily showing a gleaming golden dog smiling at the camera. She had her first bath today and she's extra beautiful.

Well, looks like we (provisionally, until our posts in local lost pet groups and the vet check doesn't find a chip) have a new dog. This weekend has been insane.

A phone selfie of part of a white woman in a blue coverall but mostly a beautiful golden white dog in the back seat of a car. She has short, businesslike ears and her paws are oversized, both because she's not fully grown and because her feet are swollen from the number of foxtails and burrs that were crammed into them. It's hard to tell from this picture, but she's significantly underweight, probably about a 2 on the Purina body condition scale. We speculate that she was wandering in the desert for a couple of weeks.

The tragedy of young life so cruelly arrested by the draw of a soft cool dust pile (lamb is fine, just napping)

A picture of a Dusty embankment dotted with sagebrush and reclining sheep. One brown and white lamb is laying completely on its side at an angle, resting its soft little cheek on a mound of cool dust

Yesterday I bought this little guy just because he was wearing a seed hat, which I'm sure is lucky, like when a human baby comes out wearing the caul. #firstYearGarden

A baby cucumber plant in fresh earth. The plant tag is visible beneath a couple broad green leaves. One leaf wears a split seed on its tip like a jaunty little hat.

Hilariously I've been to places that look exactly like this, one a bougie coffee spot and one a tech company, both in Oakland.

A horrible oversized room with a honeycomb bar thing and a horrible greenery wall lit by bar lights like a terrarium from ALIENS.

Deeply touched by this very personal email from Margaret Atwood, so identified by the email address, the signature line "Canadian author of The Handmaid's Tale," and, most helpfully, the photo of Margaret Atwood.

A screenshot of an email to me with bland, impersonal commentary on my book. It is signed from Margaret Atwood and includes a picture of Margaret Atwood. It is not from Margaret Atwood.

Not as fun as the tiny loader (but still fun)

A view from the operator platform of a rental trencher, looking back up the hill at the trench I trenched, which looks like I was only a leeeeeettle drunk when I trenched it.

In my medium nib era for my writing log and that means I get to break out all the fancy inks

A close up image of a partial page from my writing log notebook, turned to the May page. The page is written in a brick colored ink mottled with gold shimmer. It's Birmingham Pen Company's Lava Rock Twinkle.

A drop of the same ink on a manuscript page. The gold glitter has accumulated in the center and the red bleeds out around it like a sunburst.

The real reason is because a @peculiarityshop.bsky.social piece can make every photo a thirst trap.

A close up selfie of a white woman with shaggy brown hair in a tank top. Her lower face and chin are visible, lips slightly parted. She is wearing a strand of pearls the color of old blood on an oil slick, separated by copper beads. This picture makes you want to capture and hold her attention.

Continuing my tradition of acquiring weird art while on trips

The Angel of State Route 37 by Simon Underwood. A small hand drawing of a car stopped on a highway in front of a strange apparition/growth. It looks like coral or fungus. It appears to have two big wings. The car's headlights are on and the passenger door is open, implying someone has abandoned the car in a big hurry.

Someday we're gonna fence the yard so we can grow nice plants that aren't immediately eaten (and let the dogs out without having to go with them) but right now it's pretty great to look up from the kitchen sink and LAMBS

A troop of white, brown, and black lambs wandering through the yard, akin to a horde of zombies from The Walking Dead.
