I can always tell that a new acquaintance (almost always male) is going to be an annoying so-and-so when they immediately call my husband Pete instead of Peter

Just turned two!

Neon. Who’s no angel, but gradually getting more reasonable as he grows out of puppyhood!

Male, blue merle mini Aussie looking winsome with his mouth slightly ajar, sitting amidst grasses and scrubby plants almost as tall as he is.

Same blue merle mini Aussie, mouth open and looking happy, running in a grassy field. Behind him is a rough border of scrubland, then a chain link fence denoting the property edge.

Yes I would but that's because I happen to think the Ring novels are a real slog. They bored me as a kid and are, charitably, not my cup of tea as an adult. I vastly prefer the movies, which I think work better as vehicles for the story. This is, I acknowledge, a controversial stance.

I concur. Read A Wrinkle in Time to my kid (I loved it when I was young) and I couldn’t believe how creaky the language was. It did not go over well with the young ‘un

Oof, Tom Lehrer and Cleo Laine on the same day. That’s a huge chunk of my musical childhood right there.

Young blue merle mini Aussie puppy crouching protectively, Smaug-like, over a colourful pile of plush toys.

Twinsies! Here’s our mini, Neon, at 2½ months. A month later *all* the pictured toys were utterly destroyed. Plus some of the baseboards.

Man, this brings up memories! ITA didn’t hinder my reading at all, but I was a voracious reader and was more than happy to re-learn regular English afterwards. Never found it confusing; I guess it worked like it was supposed to on me!

In a dog park strewn with wood chips, a tan and white smooth collie is holding onto a leash attached to a blue merle mini Aussie as he’s preparing to run toward another dog.

In a woodchip-filled dog park (with a picnic table and log in the background) there is a tan and white smooth collie yanking on a leash attached to a blue merle mini Aussie, who is now standing still, wondering what the hell just happened.

Young idiot mini Aussie started getting a bit intense toward other dogs in the dog park, so this sensible girl grabbed his dragging leash and applied the brakes. “Whoa dude, chill!”

From 2022, my other Burrower concept done for the MURDERBOT series (along with some earlier explorations and a keyframe sketch of the 2 Burrowers getting frisky on the Hopper from Episode 7!) The hopper was a place holder sketch I dropped in since the ship wasnt finalized yet. #creaturedesign

Yup—both current favourites of ours!

Real world:
- Trump team trying to create a Reichstag moment.
- Trump telling military audience that LA is hellhole full of "animals"
- Officials in Calif trying both to calm things down, and stand up

PUNDIT world:
- Is it smart politics?
- Is Gavin running?
- Doesn't Trump look strong!

Yeah, years back when I was in a particular creative industry the executive of the main professional organization mainly consisted of “ladies who lunch” types with rich spouses. Their cluelessness to how many creatives lived was a bit of a turn off.

Same. Though I would’ve preferred that the Cons got more of a thumping

I used to listen to a podcast about creativity and design in the modern advertising industry. Yes, the artistic creativity was off the charts! But I could never shake the fact that all this genius and inspiration was in the service of making stupid ads, and I couldn’t stand listening to it any more

Every time I see that view I’m put in mind of the Gamma elevator operator in Brave New World, thrilled when he reaches the sun at the top, then disappointed when he has to go down again

Dogs wander in a field oblivious to a strong rainbow arcing through the partly cloudy sky behind them.

A public park baseball field with lights and a pedestrian bridge behind are in foreground with a strong rainbow and a dimmer second rainbow arcing across the mainly cloudy sky in the background.

Telephoto image of the vivid colours of a rainbow with a pedestrian bridge, construction equipment and baseball stadium lights in the foreground.

Today at the dog park: the most vivid rainbow I’ve ever seen, and the first double rainbow I’ve seen to boot. #yyz #rainbow

Lovely thread
