"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad!

A portion of creamy soup in a black bowl with visible chunks of chicken breast, sausage, carrots, potatoes, onions, corn, and floating flecks of pepper and herbs.

I love soup season. Chicken and sausage chowder with potatoes, onion, carrots, corn, chicken stock, Tuscany herbs, black pepper, pinch of Berbere, cup of cream, a couple crumbled strips of bacon, and a dash of lemon.

A bird with black head and wings but red-orange body is slightly annoyed to be touched by a human hand, beak semi-open in protest, as if about to complain. In the background is a lush forest scene.

Touching this bird can result in numbness & tingling in extremities. Eating it can result in paralysis or death ☠️.

Let's talk about neurotoxic birds 🐦.

... I used to take the I-5 by Pendleton, not infrequently.

This is *insane*.

Yeah, it was a little light on dragon. I was a much bigger fan of Flight of Dragons.

An idiot black and white cat gnaws on a much-abused bungee cord, two fangs and a curling tongue visible while she stares off meditatively to the right. In background, two mugs full of highlighters, pens, and other office supplies.

Kaylee is obsessed with gnawing the bungee I use to keep this lamp in a good position.

All in what hits you the wrong way at the wrong time. It's been way too long since I saw that one, but it was a favorite. Was it Elliott himself that bothered you or am I forgetting some scary bit in it?

Critters, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, The Fly (original), definitely Poltergeist in there too, but for some reason it was the rat-dogs in Willow that gave me the nightmares.

Lately, I am obsessed with lizards! I mean, look at their adorable curly tails! 😍🦎

And, of course, they are called Curly-tailed Lizards! 🤭

A bowl of brothy chicken vegetable soup with visible chunks of tomato, zucchini, carrot, cauliflower, onion, and potato.

A 6qt Dutch oven completely full of jasmine rice cooked in a rich tomato-chicken-ginger-garlic-onion stock, with browned shredded chicken thigh and chunks of green bean and carrot visible.

I had a tray of chicken thighs that needed using up, so today involved a great deal of kitchening. Results: Chicken thareed and an absolutely massive pot of jollof. Both lovely.

A sparsely made bed with black sheets. Under the sheet is a suspiciously cat-shaped lump.

River has gone to war with the bedsheet again.

Long view of a rotund black and white cat, in an extremely unflattering blob pose.

Round cat is round.

Okay, the critters are adorable but also I *love* the hat collection.

A bowl of caprese - diced tomatoes, shredded fresh mozzarella and basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

The only thing I'm going to miss about summer - fresh caprese.

I had one too! Lovely Sony Mavica. Went to Ireland with me and I filled up some twenty floppies.

Me neither, I had completely forgotten they existed until your photo made me go !!. Happy memories. :)

Oh cool! I remember having one of those! Memory says he was in shades of brown-bronze, but memory is notoriously unreliable.

Haven't tried either of those yet - anything with a good building system gets my attention (since I've Minecrafted so much not even mods help anymore).

Valheim's has a lovely organic feel to it, especially if you like the Norse aesthetic, and lossless rebuilds, which I love, less grind.

Absolutely looking forward to it, then. I've been obsessively building in Valheim lately (still the one that makes me happiest) and could use a change of pace.

Oh, neat. I've had that wishlisted but haven't looked into what it offers for base building. Sounds like I need to bump it up the list.

Beneath Ceaseless Skies - The Thirteenth Time by Patrick Samphire You know how sometimes there are things that happen that you never want to think about again? Not because they’re terrible or horrifying, and not because they were such a perfect moment that everythin...

Hey! My new short story, The Thirteenth Time, is now available to read for free on Beneath Ceaseless Skies. I, for one, think it's pretty good.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

A dilute tortie wedged into a lap next to a keyboard, sleeping with her face pressed into a hand.

"Hold my face while I'm sleeping." Yep, not even a flicker of affection there.

Thirty days of treadmill without missing a single one.

Ain't much, but it's about the habit.

Photo of the front cover of the Mythago Wood anthology Heartwood.

Right there with you - they were my real introduction to mythocentric fantasy. And there's an anthology out, Heartwood!

I learn so much about plants on Bluesky. I'm not always sure *what* I've learned, but definitely Things.
