Trying to figure out how to clone some of the fruit trees in my yard, and every bit of terminology sounds ripped from a grimdark fantasy novel.

⚡️ PREPARE THE SCION.
🎸 THE GRAFTING METHOD.
🤘🏽 READY THE ROOTS.

I just want another apple tree, not trying to write a heavy metal album.

In light of the Unbound/Boundless situation (which I am not involved in) here’s a list of the warning signs the three times publishers did this to me. When you see it (no fault to the authors for sticking it out!) you may want to start preparing to sever the relationship.

The Unbound contract lists both non-payment and Unbound becoming insolvent as events that trigger rights reversion.

Anyone who needs an assist with this, please let them know that they can email hello@effinbirds.com and I'll give them the rundown on how to do it.

you befriend the crows nesting in your yard

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

Please read and share this thread.

The Otter version of Watership Down would DEFINITELY have characters in it called Drylla and Skovie 🦦 😄 🦦

Continuing the theme of insect rescue - this little dude somehow got stuck between the glass and fly screen. Literally throwing hands when I came over with my speaker on (maybe he wasn't a Sleep Token fan 🤷🏻‍♀️). Successfully rehomed in the garden 🌿

It's been SO LONG since I saw anything M9 related and part 1 of M9 reunited had me simultaneously going "my bbys!" and completely losing my mind laughing on the treadmill at the gym. RBF completely destroyed by Sam 😂

My @criticalrole.bsky.social watching history has been very chaotic. Started on C2, did C1, & now I've been doing all the oneshots, EXU, & reunions before I start C3 (my DM is my CR guide for optimal watch order without accidental spoilers). 1/2

Start your Saturday off with...

After the meal, there were barley scones, Guosim cheese, and crusty rye bread for those still wanting to nibble.

Say hello to my little friends

Listening to our blackbirds is one of my favourite things in the garden ♥️ (Admittedly, the other dominant voices are the cockatoos, which frankly make it feel like Jurassic Park. Different vibes entirely.)

Sketch in progress half-covered by a white sheet of paper with a blue pencil next to it. The sketch is of a chicken with a tiny hut on its back. On top of the hut is a mouse in a shawl drinking a bloody mary taking to a bee.

Anyway I gave Baba Yaga mouse a tiny bloody mary because I can do whatever I want.

At the risk of making us all sad

Noticed a flash of movement when I was at the gym. This rainbow lorikeet wasn't letting the rain stop it from getting its dinner

An elf with white hair, pale skin, and glowing violet eyes, wearing a dark robe with wide sleeves over fitted clothing with silver trim, leans against a desk in a dimly lit library, studying a map of stars that glow a violet/pink that is projecting from the spherical artifact in her hand.

The women’s health initiative has followed tens of thousands of women for more than 30 years and provided invaluable information on topics like hormone replacement and cancer.

Jay Bhattacharya cutting this program will not only hurt women, it’s also just a colossal waste to lose such an investment.

I used to love when my blackbird and robin foremen came along to check on things when I was gardening in St Andrews 😍🌱

A male Orange-tip butterfly rests with open wings on a small white flower, showing off its bright orange wingtips and mottled green underwings. Surrounded by a wash of soft green grasses.

What small, wild thing has caught your eye this week?
The bright flash of an Orange-tip? A blossom? A bird on the breeze?

Let's enjoy the little things.
