Culliope mogs for the camera with ignatia the red earred slider

Two middle aged ladies doing our best!

A Mississippi map turtle sits on a piece of wood under a lamp in a fish tank

I did not appreciate the sheer joy my turtles would get from basking in their own personal basking lamps. Bradley is so happy.

The person we got him from did not know he needed a place to get out of the water or a basking lamp. He's been swimming for 5 years with no rest. 🫩. No longer! #petturtle

The day I randomly saw this driving down 95S was the best day of my whole life.

A calico cat curls up on an unfinished crazy quilt

WIP quilt, now with cat!

I try to sort of have Karen energy but the positive version where I leave excellent reviews and email companies to tell them how great members of staff have been.

A wild rhododendron blossom in a forest. It is a bunch of white flowers with 5 petals each on a tree with large dark green leaves

This bloom is not open and looks sort of like a pink pine cone

Culliope and Mr. Culliope (the most beautiful blossom of all)

Another close up of a rhododendron blossom

Rhododendron State Park is very cool! 16+ acres of wild rhododendron that bloom in mid-July in southern NH. Actually made it this year!

An orange cat and an orange and white cat investigate the top of a crazy quilts that is lying on the floor

The front of a crazy quilt that is a work in process. There are four squares across by seven squares down. Each square is a collage of different fabrics.

Summer craft project in full swing. I'm finally trying to use up some of my scrap fabrics by making my twin baby cousins each a crazy quilt/I spy quilt. Here's what I've got so far, complete with two helper boys

Teen characters wielding fire spell, painting prosthetic arm, playing the lute, and conjuring a water fish. BSL alphabet in the background.

We’re 200% funded overnight! Thanks to everyone who has pledged or shared the project across socials and with friends. We’re pushing for the teaching pack today. The funding will allow @culliope.bsky.social and @ichistorian.bsky.social to finish their brilliant project to the highest standard.

Windy and I thought you might enjoy seeing them in their side hustle as the mascot for an RPG based special ed summer school program in NH. They keep an eye on the kids and give lots of hugs and some encouragement magic when learning is hard!

Ignatia the turtle on her red slate out of the water

Ignatia listens to lofi study music

Today Ignatia was strong enough to climb up on this red slate by herself! She likes to chill and listen to music with me. She seems to know my voice.

Ignatia looks balefully at the camera from a right side profile

Ignatia still looks basic balefully at the camera but now you can see her shell too

This is Ignatia t. Bellows, A red-eared slider that we rescued. She has no front claws because they were eaten by a raccoon about 15 years ago. She has lived in a small fish tank for a long time and now she gets to touch grass.

Making a tabletop RPG for your particular kid by Steph Campbell on a shelf with a lot of other TTRPG books

A wild tortoise eats a plant

A wild tortoise of Athens!

Yes! More penis, more problems.

Three middle aged ladies pretend to be columns in front of a historical site that deserves better.

Corinthians, ionic, doric columns at the Olympic stadium in Athens

An ancient Greek relief that is as described in the text. It's a good butt.

When your butt is so good you have to look back and give yourself two thumbs up while you run #athens

Culliope and her roommate are posing in a big metal sign with 5' tall letters saying #arachova in front of the view of the city

A view of Arachova, a Greek city on the side of a mountain with white buildings and red roofs

#arachova Greece

This is a fire breathing lion!

Definitely

That is similar!! I wonder what it actually is!

A little critter looks over its shoulder. Is it a flying horse? Maybe a hippalectron?

This must be a leopard. It has a very human face

A beautiful floral grave marker

The museum is called Archeological Museum of Chalkis

Set also from early Christian church frescos on the island of Eubota at the Archeological Museum of Chalkis

Sea urchins are amazing

Culliope stands in front of three columns of the Parthenon

At the Parthenon!

A very beautiful white and black pigeon on an abandoned house

This is a suspiciously beautiful pigeon here in Athens. You can't fool me, Zeus. I'm onto you...

I don’t know how to make people understand that *you’re supposed to* care about the wellfare of people you don’t know. That’s what you *do* in a functioning society.

Day 1 in Athens!!
