Well, it only took four or five photoshoots, but in this one, we finally (finally) FINALLY get to see your hinder (and it's a nice one, too) 🍑😈.

Today I dropped off my framed photo of snow buntings to the @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social. Twenty-three birding photographers, including myself, will have our photos in a temporary exhibit called The Art of Birding. The exhibit opens on Saturday! naturalhistory.novascotia.ca/whats-on/art...

The Art of Birding
Birds are often the first animals you see (or hear) on a walk. With over 400 birds living in, and visiting, Nova Scotia, our lands, waters, and skies provide endless opportunities to experience birds....

It's an extraordinary, and very original, film. I'd classify it as 90% psychological thriller/10% full-on horror. The real horror comes from the unrelenting mundanity of the backrooms, themselves. That, and the way the characters almost always seem to inhabit spaces that are too big for them.

Tonight's viewing: "Backrooms" which we'd missed seeing play in cinemas last summer (entirely my fault). Now, we'll see if Mark Kermode's praise is well founded. #Horror #Film #Blu-Ray
The artfully minimalistic slipcase design for North American blu-ray release of Kane Parsons' "Backrooms."

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

I distinctly recall that scene, as well. Within the first two minutes of the very first episode, Hooperman's shower fails. Without missing a beat, he pulls off the toilet tank cover, sticks his head in, and keeps on washin'. We'd sure as heck had never seen that on TV before. Certainly not in 1987.

Also, miss seeing you 'round Mastodon. I can dig why you needed to back away from it to pursue other channels, but it is a nice little island of sanity (if a tad quiet, at times) 🏝.

Hmm, I'd thought that you were already using BlueSky primarily for sharing your art/writing anyhow, but thaz cool. I may also drop by your 'blog more often; Threads is too much Meta for me (and I can't leave Facebook, much as I'd like to 🤪).

The success of Emily Wilson's translation had nothing to do with Christopher Nolan. The hardcover edition came out 9 years ago and was a huge success. The paperback has been in steady demand since 2018. My store has sold 75 copies (a lot for 1 book for us) and 66 of those were before January.

We didn't luck out with "The Odyssey" during my FYP year (1992). No, sir! We went from the awesomeness of "The Epic of Gilgamesh" right into "The Illiad" and - good Lord - did I ever hate it 😑. Fortunately, we'd followed that up with "The Aeneid" which somewhat made up for it.

I understand your pain 😔. When I lived far away from any Arby's, I'd make do with some deli Angus beef sandwich meat and some Diana Sauce (original) in a kaiser bun and toasted in a toaster oven with a few slices of cheddar melted on top. It's not the same, but close enough to scratch that itch.

If we're referencing a film released *within the 12 month period* during which I'd turned 18, then the results are... slightly more awesome 🦖.

Never used Threads, but I have tried so very, very hard to convince friends and relatives to join me in a mass exodus from Facebook... to no avail. They're there, they've put down roots (and it had been a job getting them to use FB back in '07), and thus I am stuck there 😑.

You've kept your Mastodon account on life support, right?! I know it doesn't quite get the traffic this place does, but it's still a relatively sane (if quiet) place.

Another original #watercolour for everyone to ignore: a #watercolor #cartoon I've made for my husbear's birthday. Yes, I'd been focused on the drawing and marked the date wrong ("Feb" instead of "Jan"). Yes, cave #bears went extinct ca. 20,000 years ago. Let's see YOU draw the damn card 😂. Enjoy!

I prefer "Day" for many reasons. Also, the longer I contemplate the setting - everyone holed-up in an underground bunker with no outside contact or hope for rescue and the social order unraveling between the scientists and civilian engineers vs. the soldiers - the more hellish (and timely) it seems.

Nothing terrible to confess, here. Not only is the 7th Doctor era one of the best, IMHO, but I'd also argue that Ace is one of the Doctor's very best companions ever. She also turns up for the 13th Doctor's final story, and it's lovely.
