Washed up on the beach this morning: two whole watermelons, two whole coconuts, a decapitated pineapple (head and body), and a dozen strawberries. ๐Ÿค” Did someone on a yacht not want fruit salad? Or was that headless pineapple a message? Solve the mystery #bluesky

My accent started in Australia then lived in other countries before settling in the US--now I just sound affected.

Yes, absolutely. I want to invite ART too, but he/it won't fit in the house.

I wanted to read #murderbot before watching, and four novellas in, I kinda want to invite a mass-murdering robot over for tea.

Death at the Sign of the Rook - Kate Atkinson

Death at the Sign of the Rook - Kate Atkinson

This was fun. Christiesque characters and settings, and a private investigator who finds them all tedious.

This was a hit with gluten-free friends. They thought it exotic, and its Venetian history made us look much more sophisticated than we are. Gluten-eaters scarfed it too. Thank you.

Many things. Typewriter mode. The cork board mode. The binder. Snapshots (of previous drafts that you can roll back to). Ability to set up the document the way you want it. Labeling. There's definitely a learning curve though.
