Our mini artificial Xmas tree sports a Midsommar tree topper from A24, an Abominable Snowman ornament for the Cryptozoology Museum in Maine, a Kirk vs Gorn Star Trek diorama (w/ music), and a Clark Kent from my IG comic friend, Robbie.
Umm. Faulty memory. Played through DLC for Ghosts of Tsushima. I believe @joefielder.bsky.social is credited for his superb writing.
Come meet up and chat with the Spark Society!

Potato "hiding" when bathtub water starts flowing is pretty damn cute.
I was honored by the @psychscience.bsky.social DEI Committee's invitation to help curate this collection of outstanding articles addressing a range of issues related to anti-Black racism. I also couldn't have asked for a more thoughtful and thorough partner in @johnjost.bsky.social. Please share!
Some dogs get a cone. Others get an inflatable donut -- with sprinkles.
Potato climbs up the stairs one at a time in a way that is never not cute.

Happy to report that the @sparksociety.bsky.social NSF grant has been reinstated!
Potato keeps trying to convince me to feed him dinner early... in a really cute way.
Took Potato to the beach this morning. Think he liked it.

A really good boy.
It's Potato appreciate month.
Dr. Sam R. Sommers was one of those truly good people who also happened to be a total powerhouse. It is with deep sadness that I share the news of his death. Everyone who had Sam in their lives was lucky, and I am grateful for every moment he shared with me. ❤️💖💫 now.tufts.edu/2025/03/20/r...
