Amanda/Inkling 🏳️‍🌈

Sorry, that should be the "A" in STEAM.

I am Sleepy.
But.
I have diagnosed a Garbage Disposal.
I have finished knitting a Sock.
I have worked on Projects.
I am Tired.
I hope all of you have had as Fulfilling A Day as I have had.

I love Magrat so much. It took her a bit to find her True Self, but she did, in the end.

(My writing is Not Amazing. But someday, I would like to share it, & I hope that some people may Resonate. That is all I ask.)

OK, this sounds weird, but...
I would like to write a book that Sticks With Readers.
It may be mediocre. It may be, actually, Not Very Good.
But, I would like to have a Positive Message That Lets People Hang On To Positive Things. And that is why I write.

I mean, she would, but would she also not have thoughts about the Creepy Creeper Watching Through The Window? I feel that would have been More Pressing.

He is. We are fighting. I swear, we are fighting.
STEM: Look what we can do!
Humanities (the E in STEAM): But should you?

Phil. Sweetie. Could we...not?

That's the Dark Path.

Time to hang up my hand knit socks (that I just washed) and go to bed. #KnitterLife #IJustDarnedAnotherPairOfSocks #ByWhichIMeanISaidDarnAndThrewThemAway #BadMothsDoNotEatMySocks

I have almost finished a Knitted Hat and I am working on Socks and dangit, I may not be able to save the world but I can keep myself and my friends Warm.

That One Guy is just Happy To Be Here.

Feeling a bit old, but in that weird "What Do You Mean It Is 40 Years Since The 1980s" way. #WhereDoYouSeeLions #OnlyInKenya #ComeToKenyaWeHaveGotLions #LlamaLlamaDuck #JoinInWhenYouKnowTheWords

I mean, lots of people forget to be polite & kind to their partners.

It goes a long way. Just say "Thank you" and "I love you" every day. It doesn't mean treating the other person as a stranger; it means treating the other person with love & appreciation.

Alex made 3 Cup Chicken for Dinner tonight. This made me happy, along with knitting socks.

Is there a way of putting in my will that I do not give my permission, in perpetuity, for anyone to do this to my image or voice?

Almost anything Tulio says.

Despair very briefly, bolster one another, then go out into the World again.

I mean, the only answer is "shrug and sleep contortedly around the cat."

This is my favorite account on Bluesky. Thank you for spreading joy. I will check out your book. 💜

And why are a bee's knees apparently so wonderful?

I mean, they are delicate joints. But. Dogs love breakfast. Many cats hate pajamas. Bees are probably ambivalent about their knees.

Sad but true. Despite medieval apothecaries trying to figure out our humours by analyzing our urine. One of the many things they were wrong about.

I realize this is very Frivolous with all this... ~gestures to Everything~ ...but my place is Very Soundproofed but I can still hear the Sportsball happening at the Arena nearby and that troubles me. #TinyProblems #StillIrritating #SleepIsImportant #HearingLossIsBad

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany.

Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."
