Book indexer, taxonomist, avid reader, weaver, librarian. Why do bird book illustrations always show roadrunners with dead lizards in their beaks but not other raptors? I think it’s a plot.

Photo of a part of the sticker wall, near the gum wall in Seattle. A large glued poster of a cat holding a sign reads, “A.I. IS DẠTA

CREATIVITY IS TRYING TO SEE WHERE WE CAN GO.”

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 19/06/2026
A digitally drawn montage of scene's from Hayao Miyazaki's animated movie Porco Rosso. In the foreground wwe see Porco flying his Savoia S.21 seaplane. It's a bright red monoplane with a fuselage shaped like a porpoise and the wing mounted above and in front of the cockpit, and the single large, bulbous, shiny red prop engine mounted on top of that. Outrigger floats hang down from the underside of each wing and the vertical stabilizer is painted in the colors of the Italian flag.  Porco is looking down toward the Adriatic sea below. From a string of clouds behind the plane rises a closeup portrait of Porco in the plane's cockpit. He's a human with a cartoon pig's head, he's got a little black curled mustache, and he's wearing round sunglasses, leather headgear with goggles pushed up on top of his head, a white silk scarf and a tan jumpsuit. He is smiling past the one side of his mustache and giving a thumbs up to the viewer. Under the plane in the bottom right of the rough-edged frame in yellow handwriting is written 'Maybe it will happen today'.

A leader leads from in front, by the power of example. A ruler pushes from behind, by means of the club, the whip, the power of fear. #Abbey #EdAbbey #EdwardAbbey

There's a reason that DJT doesn't have pets. There's a reason that you don't see him in pictures with animals. Animals don't like him. Sometimes the best judge of character is a dog or a cat or a horse. 🐎

For nonfiction books, a good index is essential. After I did the index for my textbook, I had dreams of reviews saying "The index alone is worth the price."

I agree!
dolohkov: An Old English word for library was "bochord", which literally means "book hoard", and honestly I really think we should go back to saying that because not only does it sound really cool, but it also sort of implies that librarians are dragons.

Thought we didn’t have money in the USA for healthcare. Yet the Defense Department’s latest estimate puts the cost of the war with Iran at $37.5 billion. Funny how we’re always told we can’t afford to invest in people’s health, but somehow tens of billions of dollars for war can be found.
