ALSO the way he phrased the statement (and he is a writer, we know he knows how to phrase a statement) is - “I was emotionally unavailable while being sexually available.”
uh, dude, the women are not like - if only he was more warm and caring, it would have been fine

He made multiple women call him MASTER???

Jenny, I came to Bluesky SPECIFICALLY to discuss this with you because what the hell

Moths’ wings have scales that absorb the sounds bats make to find food, so that they can make sounds back to bats that tell them to back off! What?! 🤯

Ohmigosh, my typo! As helpful as their absolutely terrible SEARCH function. But yes… also their non-existent chat 😅

Thanks for the specificity, GoodReads! As helpful as your chat function. 😂

I continue to be fascinated by Leigh Ann Henion’s Night Magic! In addition to salamanders, I am now really into fireflies (though, objectively, pretty much everyone is into fireflies) and glowworms and now even MOTHS. Seriously considering how to make my garden more night pollinator friendly

I really liked the Vijayanagar and the Easter Island/Rapanui episodes, if you need to build up to the seven hour one!

Hi!!!! 👋🏾

Let me know what you think, if you do!

Noise canceling headphones and a lofi beats playlist. Also, do you listen to podcasts? I HIGHLY recommend the fall of civilizations podcast, which is fascinating and each episode is like 3-4 hours long. The most recent one is a 2-parter about the Mongols and it is almost SEVEN HOURS LONG

Yes! I also love a montage of gardening. Clearing up a space, planting seeds, mulching, green shoots, and then flowers! And, ideally, perhaps an ending shot of a butterfly perched on a bloom, or a bird singing on a branch.

I just started reading Leigh Ann Henion’s book Night Magic this evening. It’s about all the wonders of nature that come out at night. I am so fascinated and am only on page 30! Did you know that salamanders can photosynthesize?! They have algae in their bodies!

I just recently read her new short story. Very much the same vibe as the others! Though I think the ladies of grace adieu was better. This one was so short I didn’t really get a great feel for it

Jordan Ifueko’s Raybearer is so good! Also, Danielle Evans’ The Office of Historical Corrections.

Oh yay!! I love this anime!

The lack of transparency in the naming process is what gets me

Mihir! Hello!

This has NOTHING to do with your post but I am so glad to see you here!! Also with the same content 😁

Love this!!
