I designed a new #origami dragon today. I want to create a really simple one but that's easier said than done. This is neither really complex not really simple, but I like the result. It really looks like a lizard with wings although not able to fly without magical assistance due to the proportions.

Purchased! I love the Noss saga and have been waiting eagerly for this.

I learned about the upside down pineapple from my husband, who learned from a friend who learned on a cruise. And it *wasn't* a JoCo cruise, so Scalzi is not to blame in my case, even indirectly...

An origami group I belong to challenged us to design models based on an 8x8 pleated grid. So far (since last Wednesday) I have a Corgi, a guacamaya, a cross, and a dragon. #origami

"As epic as it is queer" and sure to be banned in conservative libraries sooner or later; I can't wait to read this latest installment in the series!

The saga continues! I look forward to reading it.

Maybe the octopus IS his girlfriend, as per The Deep in "The Boys".

My last evening visiting the USA, so I went all-American: a BLT with house potato chips and "shipyard pumpkin ale" with cinnamon and sugar on the brim.

I agree! The show made me want to read the books, and I got the Martha Wells β€œHumble Bundle” with the whole series. Totally worth it. I hope the continue to adapt the following books just as well as they did the first…

Today I finished reading the Murderbot Diaries novels by @marthawells.com. Very entertaining! And not a very long read either, as a whole. The books kept my interest the entire time. I came away wanting more...

Great illustration, and a memorable moment! I look forward to reading it again and seeing how things have changed since the beta version I read.

That sounds terrible. I hope you can get effective treatment. I've read that male doctors often tend to be dismissive of women's pain; I hope that's not the case for you.

I finally got to finish watching Star Trek: Lower Decks! The finale was much more exciting than I expected. The strong coffee I drank this morning may have had something to do with it, but still... #STLD #StarTrek

Dang, I was looking right at it all the time! Now it's obvious, of course.

I'm "udderly" amazed by the quality of these covers. Can't find the wolf, though!

Even though it's as background music, I can still appreciate the progression of the songs more than if I listen to them separately. Playlists have their place but albums have their own unity and architecture.

I know, right? Among other things, digital music (whether local or streaming) has totally changed the way we listen to music. For a while I even kind of forgot that albums are designed to be listened to from start to finish. Now I make it a point to do that often, instead of just isolated songs.

I wish I had enough free time to just sit down and listen to music sometimesβ€”not as background music while I do something else (which I do every day); as the focus of my attention, so I can really pay attention to the lyrics, sing along, pay more attention to the melodies, the flow of the album...

From time to time I'm struck by the huge proportion of my daily actions that can be accurately (if reductively) described as poking or tapping on buttons, switches, or touchscreens.

I think I'll make my anxiety Biff and my fear Trevor. Take that, Biff and Trevor! You've just lost 40 points.

I was today years old when I learned that the prog rock band Yes covered a Simon & Garfunkel song! 🀯❀️

You have corn smut in your womb? It belongs in a quesadilla or a soup, not in your womb.
