We got you.

Digital painting of a pre-dawn countryside landscape. It is misty, the sky is low and cloudy, blue from the dim morning light. There is a foggy field, and a wet road covered in puddles in the foreground. There are bare trees on both sides, and a low wooden fence on the side of the road.

We report: it is difficult to get rid of the damp these days, the way it has penetrated everything and everywhere around us. Our expert’s shoes hardly ever get to dry in between days of trodding through puddles and wet grass. It is not quite raining yet, this morning.

Located in DFW

No power, no heat, but we are in one piece. Can use Woodstove if it gets worse

Slightly more concerning are the chunks of snow/ice hitting the windows. Which may also explain the flickering power.

Power went out for a bit. Came back. Bit flickery. Fingers crossed.

Congratulations everyone

Holy Christ, It’s Snowing! Holy Christ, it’s snowing! Fuck, exactly what we never anticipated—not in this gray and frozen month. Martians or race riots, sure, but look outsid...

Heads up for SFWA members filling out the Nebula nomination form:

It is possible to 'save and continue later' BUT if you do this, be sure to ALSO do the step (on the next page) of emailing yourself the link to your partial ballot.

Otherwise you'll have no way to get back to it!

Martha's Vineyard. I don't think we're in the extreme levels of snow (last I saw) and I hope it stays that way. Or flat-out misses us. lol! ❤️

I'm so not looking forward to this. I don't want it to be hell. I'm prepared, but please, Neptune, spare my little island this oncoming storm.

Question: has the recent trend in zombie-related media included work to create artificial/cloned brains for them to eat? If it's used in vampire media with blood, it only makes sense to extend it to other undead, especially now we're doing "sexy" zombies.

He'd ridicule the scientists as trying to scare us and downplay the threat. "This would never have happened if I had Greenland." He'd joke about it hitting another country, "which is no great loss." And then he'd extort trillions from other countries to "solve your problem for you, as usual."

She looks like she's having FUN, which is nice to see. It seems like there's a looseness to her movements, more freedom to flow, as compared to the rigid perfection of a lot of others. Cheers to her.

Aide Wearily Begins 5th Explanation Of Why Trump Can’t Pardon Prince Andrew WASHINGTON—Exhausted from repeated efforts to explain the most basic aspect of political power, an aide to President Trump nevertheless began wearily explaining for the fifth time Friday why he couldn...

Digital painting of a sunset sky: it is bright orange, slightly hazy, with soft grey clouds traversing the frame. The light is more on the yellow side in the top half.

We report at the end of a day spent formulating thoughts, and organising them, and losing the train of them: we are now appreciating the luxury of letting them all go. The sunset, at the moment, requires no additional thinking from us. Our mind gets filled with orange light.

A wise shot of a crow with a broken top beak sitting on a traffic sign, with the moon behind it.

A few days old, but a decent shot of one of the regular crowbros on my walk, who waits on that sign every morning. Zoom in for some
cool details.

(I'm glad all of Austria knows about him and can avoid ever going on a date with this bastard)

There once was a man near Grossglockner
Who grew tired when girlfriends were talkers
He'd take them for hikes
Where he would say "sike!"
Then leave them to die of cold shock, sir.

We also need to put "maxxing" up on a high shelf until people stop using it for everything in increasingly offensive and stupid ways.

Parker would get in so much stabbing practice on Wade. Except on No Stabbing Wednesdays. He'd critique her and offer advice on better stabbing.

Gold medal in Basking for Minerva. :)

A turkey vulture laying like a cat loaf on a wide astroturf-covered perch in a snowy outdoor aviary space. (Minerva is an unreleasable education ambassador held under proper state and federal permits, not a rehabilitation patient or a pet.)

February is usually our coldest month, but a string of extremely warm days mean the birds have been thoroughly enjoying the winter reprieve. Here is Minerva the turkey vulture in her best toasty loaf form, soaking up the sun. 🪶

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

This super sweet female young cat was found in Bushwick. She's currently staying on a terrace because the cats living in that house are not very friendly, and she is looking for either a foster or a forever home. If anyone can help, please send me a DM

We Can Reform the Atrocity Machine My dear constituents, Like you, I am deeply troubled by the Atrocity Machine’s recent activity. It is a stain on our nation, and we must take actio...

"Reform takes negotiation, and sometimes that means playing hardball. In this case, that means giving the Machine a budget greater than the GDP of Chile."
