Apologies for double commenting on your post, but apparently Mr. Preeminent Pisspuffin's response to you *wasn't even correct* (nexii vs nexi) and someone else called him out on it! 🤣

Screenshot post of person correcting Mr Pisspuffin: please disregard my pedantry but due to a Condition i am required to post that the double i ending only happens with words ending in -ium/ius, like vexilliarius > vexiliarii. for nexus it'd just be nexi

thank you for your consideration for this, my autonomic pedantry response

To which Mr PP responds: How useful! I've never studied Latin, so I'll upgrade my usage of Torment Nexi accordingly.

My backyard songbirds have been scarce lately, even though we usually have many kinds that come to our birdbath and foundation in summer. I think I just figured out why. ⤵️😬🪶

Enjoyed a beautiful summer day at the wildlife refuge at Plum Island off Newburyport, MA, Warm breeze, sparkling ocean, wooded trails. Even found an old tree that kind of looked like a Chinese dragon face! 🐉

Mixed feelings about this. I love the fall but last winter here was just relentless. Hoping for a break this year. 🤞

On Saturday, I wrote a draft post about how much more popular my dog Sam is on Bluesky than I am, but then I went moderately viral on Sunday with an art post, so now I'm thinking maybe he needs to be MY social media manager for a change. Or...maybe not.
