Queen Lucanaii 👑

"What's your name?" I asked. Her chest plate rose and fell as she swallowed her defiance, using it as another layer of armor while her one good eye continued to scan the room. don't answer to the false king or his whore." She spat at my feet. "Die." My brows rose. That's a terrible name, honestly."

The way I'm losing it while at the gym is absolutely @ambervnicole.bsky.social 's fault.

That being said I'm absolutely loving Wrath of the Fallen so far. About 1/3 of the way in!

I hope my neighbors accept this love letter I'm sending them at midnight in the form of turning on my dryer just now ❤️❤️❤️

I came to the realization that I wish Alchemised was longer.

1000 pages was not enough.

My mantra was "the other drivers don't want to hit me and as long as I don't do anything too stupid too fast they will avoid me"

But also the cop passing me said he never wants to be on the same road as me so maybe I shouldn't give advice 😇😇😇

1am on a workday is definitely my favorite time to visit the gym.

Just a handful of people, each of them staring blankly at their machine, questioning all life choices

I fit right in

cries in community manager

I'm in the gym resting between sets and I can't help but think that there has to be a gym somewhere that at random points just connects to someone's phone to play whatever they're listening to and how hilarious it would be in the environment.

Imagine if you actually managed to rickroll the gym

Until they send you to a psychologist because you're obviously just looking for attention by going to all these doctors

Two different types of star wars aliens with lekku - head tails from animated series

Sometimes I wonder whether I even still count as a geek... and then I remember I did a talk at the biggest convention in my country titled:

"Not everyone that has a lekku is a twi'lek"

The org added (Star Wars) to the title because apparently I was being too obscure.

I've officially spammed my sister with enough messages about The Book of Azrael (Gods&Monsters series by @ambervnicole.bsky.social) that she requested the books for her birthday

Huge success #booksky

I finished Rose in Chains. I adored The Auction and so far I'm loving all the changes that were made. Honestly the worst part is that I can't read the whole trilogy right. this. moment.

Jets are cool and all, but this is my favorite type of flying. Propeller, nature, car with wings really :D

With 35+ hitting Netherlands next week it's completely reasonable to just hop into a car and drive north until the sun stops hurting me, right?

Random 3am thought that Manacled is my Roman Empire and I absolutely can't wait for Alchemised to come out #booksky

5 days of migraine and 6 (today) popsicles later I have submitted a short sci-fi story into a competition.

What a strange but positive feeling.

Even weirder is that my beta readers liked it. I haven't written anything in years!

Me: The migraine is not that bad today

Also me after driving for a bit: End me now and let me be

Let me tell you, writing a short sci-fi story while listening to @stellaris.paradoxinteractive.com soundtrack is a pretty cool experience.

Turns out if you practically stop drinking any caffeine and then drink 1 red bull + 1 large coffee in a day it's very easy to skip a night of sleep.

Something is telling me I'll pay dearly for this

I found my new favorite ice cream. It's so sour I had only one popsicle and it fried my tongue. And made it bleed.

Anyway I'm absolutely in love.

...all of this perhaps explains my reading preferences more than anything else I've encountered in my life.

I miss flying so much I keep watching aviation related YouTube videos all the time.

I might have to book a trip soon to scratch that itch.

facebook post with a collection of photos and video of a huge clutch of robin eggs and two adult robins squished together in the same nest: "I’ve had robins on my porch every year. This year has been quite interesting! On Sunday I found two eggs in the nest and by Tuesday afternoon there were 8 eggs! I had never seen that many. So I did a little bit of research and found out that 8 eggs means they were likely laid by two different females. So I set up a camera to see what would happen. And much to my surprise there are two females caring for the eggs. They are NOT happy to be sharing the nest. But they are stubborn and neither mother is willing to leave her eggs. I read that usually the robins are so territorial that one mother will leave. During the day they kick each other out of the nest taking turns sitting on the eggs. Then at night they both have such a strong instinct to sit on the eggs all night that they BOTH sit on the nest. One bird sits on the other. They fight and peck at each other constantly! Although they seem to have come to some sort of understanding and tolerate each other much better now. Here are some pictures and videos of these very stubborn and devoted mother robins. I can tell them apart by their markings by their eyes. And I can tell they are both females by the way the mothers settle onto the eggs and cover them with their brood patch. Have you ever seen two females sit on the nest at the same time!? St Thomas, Ontario Canada May 4, 2025"

help I'm obsessed with the warring mother robins who unhappily share a nest

The song has impactful (anti-war) lyrics but this part is what lives in my head rent-free.

Makes me feel like living a life just means balancing on a knife's edge between things we can and cannot influence

I was thrown into life
without being asked
and without being asked
I will be thrown out again
and so I ask for just one
small favor
don't tell me to my face
that you are acting out of my will
that all of this is also my wish

There's nothing I hate more when I hear about an interesting book and it can only be purchased on Amazon... Kobo ftw
