Welcome to Bluesky: Weird Al is on here but you sometimes don’t immediately get told that. That’s most of the important information.

hah, we had this happen in the planters in front of our door before we could replace them from last season.

Some favorites by women & BIPOC in SFF who have published work in the last decade:

@nkjemisin.bsky.social: The Fifth Season + Inheritance Trilogy

@crashwong.bsky.social The Fisher Queen + Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers

Ted Chiang: Story of Your Life

@marthawells.com: Murderbot Diaries

Every morning at 6am, from hell's heart, ya gotta stab at thee 🐳

Funny Mamdani thing, regarding the anti-Mamdani fundraiser:

Just saw multiple people on Threads saying “I now understand what is meant by Corporate Dems” and “oh so this is what happened with Bernie Sanders, I get it now.”

We can have a little hope as a treat

I told you we’d be back

It was really, really good! Looking forward to the next episodes.

This gives the same energy.

Hopefully you don't have the same problem flying that Mary posted about yesterday morning! Safe travels, Dawn.

What should we call hippos? (Trapp's got the answer!)

My wife's a History major. In fact, she literally specialized in early 20th century European history, and minored in German. She's reliving her research at this point.

The incantation is an important part of the process. You simply can't rest properly without the ritual.

Look it’s not my fault that the great creator thought it would be funny to give me a baby face and a baby voice and the filthiest mind ever known to man

Definitely. I frequently find myself gently tugging on my own beard when I'm trying to read or watch something. This is among other things I do on the edges of my own awareness.

Bluesky: where elected democrats go to get ideas on how to do their job from people who want them to get off their asses yesterday.

Most of the executive orders are illegal.

If you're not already in the habit of harassing your electeds, this is a great time to start. This admin can be held accountable, but only if people (especially Congress) actually do.

Every delay & tiny win means affects real lives. Including yours.

This is the way of things. We have a brilliant mastermind, a beautiful idiot, and a young gremlin. It is /never boring/ around here.

It’s wild to have two cats and have one of them be just so much more dumb.

People don't realize: Money doesn't work the same way for the ultra-wealthy as it does for the rest of us.

Truly wealthy people DO NOT want cash. Cash is taxable, income even more so than capital gains.

They live off of loans, which are tax-free.

That's how you make Musk money but pay zero taxes.

That's really the thing holding me back so far: there isn't the equivalent of Pages and Groups out there yet. And I get a lot of value from those communities still.

Just got my copy today, in fact!

Donate to Donate in memory of Bjorn Anderson, organized by Stephanie Francis On Monday January 10th the we lost Bjorn Anderson, a pure soul who carried light … Stephanie Francis needs your support for Donate in memory of Bjorn Anderson

One of my (adult) kids lost a friend on Monday. Their roommate needs help with their final expenses and outstanding financial commitments. Even if you're unable to financially contribute, a share to boost the signal is helpful too.

Taking Leave If you want to know when I pretty much drew a line though my friendship with Neil Gaiman, it was when Neil acknowledged that he made moves on his early-20s nanny on her first day of employment. Thi…

Scalzi's take on the updated Gaiman revelations. I feel a lot of what Scalzi's said in my soul right now.

Hieroglyphics that produce results.

I'm doing a bit of research myself. There seems to be a few apps/sites out there, but they probably require folks to have accounts with the app/site. Looking at Howbout.app at the moment, but will move through others to find the least annoying.

any billionaire buying Wikipedia would be a tragedy, "on the good side" or not. we need to stop divvying up all the important institutions along billionaires and then relying on their good graces — look how it's gone so far.
