Digital Cuttlefish

Waaaay ahead of you

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Greg Bovino is the reason Barney Fife was only allowed one bullet, which was not loaded into his pistol.

Ewww, no!
(She would have been in grade school at that time.)

This entire thread is such a great read and a searing example of how the rush “back to normal” is leading to unmitigated COVID spread, disability and death.

Employees have the right to refuse work they believe it’s dangerous, but it does NOT apply to Covid in the workplace.

This is a wonderful book! I have my copy of the first version, and will be signing up for the new one when I get on the proper device for doing so. Highly recommended!

(I have no legitimate reason, job or hobby-wise, to have bought it. As a cuttlefish, though, making one’s own ink seems a natural.)

The only president who should be associated with ball room is LBJ.

I don’t even live in NC but everyone needs to see this

I have known only one person in my entire life who had a Nazi tattoo. The Nazis gave it to him when he was just a boy; I knew him as the father of three of my friends. He always wore short sleeves, and refused to cover it up.

He would have made a pretty good senator, actually.

You may be surprised by how hard the "Nazi tattoo" thing hits. For instance, people I knew growing up had them but they were just numbers.

My parents lived in a couple of places where they claimed that there was a frequent, if perhaps not legitimate, legal defense of “that man needed killing”

My rule for stats cheat sheets was “if I have to pull out my magnifying glass, I get to keep it” (I got to see them before the part of the test where they could use them).

It turned microfiche into something far more useful.

(But yeah, I don’t think I ever could write that small!)

I cannot stress to y’all enough what a big turnout we had in small-town Maine for No Kings. Ellsworth (pop 8,500) had 2,000. Southwest Harbor (pop 1,750) had 775!

Yes, folks came from the surrounding rural areas and towns but even so, these are impressive numbers!

It’s a good life.

I love that with your level of expertise and experience, you have chosen a path that still brings such surprises regularly

That is just gorgeous!

Is that shot taken with a polarizing filter? Or does that just show up like that to the naked eye?

I strongly recommend “The mountain under the sea” for your reading pleasure. Not cuttlefish, alas, but it does begin to explore your second paragraph notion. With octopuses.

Happy world squid and cuttlefish day!!

Text your friend a squid fact. Watch a video of a cuttlefish doing something cute.
Doodle a squid and then show it to me.

The world is cruel but squid are good.

It’s a grift that brings all the boys to the yard

They are one of my favorite verse forms—I’ve written scores of them!

The structure is called a Double Dactyl, if you want to find other examples.

I had briefly quoted a line from Romeo and Juliet while driving on a family trip, and my grade-school son chimed in with the next line.

I was shocked, he was amused, and it was over a year before I found he had learned it from Hey Arnold.

And better looking, tbh

Got mine yesterday—my first! So happy to see it

GrandCuttle cannot yet pronounce “Grandpa”, so I am “Beepo” and I don’t know if my heart can take so much adorableness.
Which is totally a word that exists.

From someone who did not travel until almost 50, for what I thought were good and necessary reasons… I endorse this wholeheartedly.

Travel.

While still young.

You regret the things you did not do much more than the things you did do.

Noooooo!

BTW, I showed your art and books to my brother and his family when they visited recently, and they absolutely fell in love with it all.
