And unfortunately for my long-suffering husband that means I'm going to be even more inspired to remodel our kitchen. Please keep @mattmark.bsky.social in your thoughts during this trying time.
Ducking Grey Duck@duckinggreyduck.bsky.social · 7h agoBut, that means I have like three seasons of Australia I can watch. I have no idea if The Block NZ is still going/something I have access to.
I appear to have actually missed a couple seasons, despite having recently checked for missed seasons... Evidently I checked the wrong streaming service, which is further proof of the enshitification of consuming media

I don't know why Lady Liberty is so sad, but can you blame her?
Ducking Grey Duck@duckinggreyduck.bsky.social · 10h agoI'm going to reposition a few segments, but YOU GUYS!!! I still don't know what I'm going to put in the center. I'm going to play with a few options and see what speaks to me. #QOAS2026

OMFG Look, I blocked this doofus a *while* back, my timeline has been all the better for it, but this deliberate and willful misunderstanding of Boots Theory is going to turn me into the Joker.

Caterpillar the Last is actually still eating so not yet ready to pupate like I thought, but even still I've moved everyone outside. I see there is the potential for storms later this week, so hopefully nothing happens to the hamper but I've tried to protect it a bit from the elements.
If I ever do anything like this particular quilt square again, I will piece the Dresden plate first and THEN do the embroidery. I honestly don't know why I didn't thing to do that.....
Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.
If you're near the greater Mankato area in MN, come to my silly little vocal workshop on Sept 15th where I'll definitely talk about clenching your butt to reach high notes, babyyyyy
Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
i'm surprised folks don't know this in the year of our lord 2026! BMI is flawed because: - it's based on stats only from white males - it doesn't take into account weight of muscle vs. fat like at all - doesn't indicate metabolic health at all - assessments based on it do more harm than good
BMI a poor metric for measuring people’s health, say experts | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Clinicians should pull back on the widespread use of body mass index (BMI) as a metric for assessing people’s health because it can lead to patient distrust and delayed care, say some health experts.

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
"I don't understand why you, a fantasy writer, don't appreciate the value of making bargains with the fae."

this is really, really bad, and Spokane is ... not exactly on the national radar. I know there are infinite people and places that need help, and everyone's resources are finite, but some options if you are so inclined:

Just your regular reminder that: 1) Almost everyone has an underlying health issue if you look hard enough 2) People with underlying health issues don't deserve to die for eating lettuce 3) We should be strengthening, not weakening our regulatory processes. And properly funding them.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 3d agoBreaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.
