One of the best things about having a questionable memory when something you posted (but don’t remember) pops up and it makes you laugh because that dude has the same messed up sense of humor you do…

Does seaweed taste fishy, or do fish taste seaweedy?

A grocery store Starbucks being the gold at the end of the rainbow is really depressing…

I’ve manned a lot of soundboards in many venues over the years. Nothing warms my cold heart like a singer/speaker with good mic control. :)

I’m too old to pull all-nighters for work. But I don’t have enough of a handle on my ADHD and/or I’m too immature to push past perfectionism and procrastination without the pressure of a hard deadline. Sigh.

Back in my day, the second moon still pulled the mana tide. During the alignments, fish would gain sentience and their dark lunar magic would mean a fortnight of hiding for us land dwellers.

A narrator change in the middle of an audiobook series is really unsettling.

@scalzi.com — heard his name in the acknowledgments of your mooncheese book, and my brain dutifully played (on repeat, dammit) the song with the modified lyrics. Damn you, Devin Desai. Even if every single one of us is, in fact, you.

I didn’t play sports as a kid (the crowd gasps in shock), and yet as an almost 50 year old nerdy meatsack, I have a knee that just always hurts. How are knees the best evolution could come up with?!?

When you’re an adult, you can buy cookie dough, put some in a bowl, and eat it with a spoon. So far that’s the only benefit to adulthood I’ve discovered.

It's crazy, after YEARS, I still love this mug as much as the day I bought it. reviews.nerdlings.net/product-revi... (Reposting because now there are 3rd party charging coasters on Amazon which are much cheaper than the name brand, but work just as well!)

Finishing a book series is depressing because starting a new book/series and getting to know new characters is just as unpleasant as doing it in real life… #IntrovertLife

Sitting next to my 28yr old daughter in church. She’s knitting during the sermon, and before understanding ADHD, if she were a child I might have scolded her and told her to pay attention. Now I understand this is a coping mechanism, and HOW she pays attention.

Farm still up for sale, but we already sold the tractor last fall… Had to buy a fixer-upper to mow the lawn. But hey, now the farm comes with a John Deere tractor with mower deck and snowblower! 😜

Vinyl aficionados: The hisses and pops add artistry and depth to the sound. GenXers who had cassette tapes during their prime listening years: That’s like enjoying the texture and character the sand adds to clam chowder.

@kevinhearne.bsky.social OK, you made me laugh out loud today. When the sun isn’t shining on the iridescent feathers, it can be hard to tell a grackle from a starling. I always tell my family to look at their eyes, because grackles have CRAZY eyes. And your photo caption in the newsletter agreed!

I was catfished. I don’t know why I fell for it. I don’t even like stinky chicken liver, and I could clearly see the hook…

If I were a bird, I think I’d be a duck. Because, “quack” describes my outlook on life most of the time.

@aptshadow.bsky.social It’s been several *years* now, and, “We are going on an adventure!” — still lives in the dark corners of my psyche, rent-free.

@kevinhearne.bsky.social We just got power back after the better part of a week (Michigan ice storm), and I see the audiobook is out! w00t! Do you know canonically where this lives? (Hi, I’m that annoying fan with OCD again…)

The power has been off long enough that I’m bored, so building fancy lamps rubber banded to battery packs for mobile lighting, lol. #IceStorm2025

We don’t grammar with each other, we communicate with each other. If you’re writing dialog, ending a sentence with a preposition is where it’s at!

Doing my best to keep up with the preorders of OBERON’S BATHTIME STORIES. I’ve signed a box this morning and have another to do. They’re shipping early pretty much as soon as I sign them! Want yours? hornedlarkpress.com/product/ober...

Six stacks of signed Oberon’s Bathtime Stories plus a stack of signed bookmarks.

My 2yr old granddaughter was helping mommy put groceries away. She threw a temper tantrum because my daughter wouldn’t let her put the eggs in the freezer. And she threw the whole dozen on the floor. (GoFundMe link in the comments…)

I’ve had a chance to go fishing a couple times this year when the weather cooperates.  I forgot just how bad I am at fishing. It’s still enjoyable, but there’s a reason I don’t have a fishing channel on YouTube.

I made up a song to sing to my fussy granddaughter. It worked, so I kept singing it. Now it’s stuck in my head and I can’t stop. I’m so mad at me.

In other news, our bedroom clock is correct again. I knew procrastination would eventually pay off. #DaylightSavingTime

@kevinhearne.bsky.social As a paid (and renewed) W&B subscriber, I can’t explain how giddy I am that your idea worked. I can’t wait to get the audiobook and to pre-order the physical copy. (My wife works at a bookstore, but I think Horned Lark is your imprint, so you get more % - plus: sticker!)

For 30 years, I’ve signed love notes to my wife with “-TB” (a reference to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; I call Donna, “Choochie Face”). Now when I sign off on a sweet missive, I think of Tuberculosis instead of Teddy Bear. Also @johngreenbluesky.bsky.social now comes to mind in every love note…

Just realized my, “Christmas Sweater,” which I wear every Christmas, isn’t a Christmas sweater at all. It’s just a Garfield sweater.
