My hobby is collecting hobbies. SF&F, orchids, aquariums, fountain pens, showing dogs, far left of left, devout atheist pagan, retired ex-graphic artist, she/her/yo/hey you

Cearnach, in celebration of his 6th birthday, jumped our 4 foot fence to chase deer in our backyard. We got him back pretty quickly. Here he is with Dearg the greyhound who is begrudgingly sharing his bed. Dearg is a fairly large greyhound which gives you an idea of Cearnach's size. #IrishWolfhounds

I am heartbroken. I just found out that Harold von Braunhut, the developer and marketer of sea monkeys, was a white supremasist. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he holds the place of a child's first experience of being grifted.

There are an awful lot of accounts that post nothing but product ads with affiliate Amazon links. Seem to be a lot on garden-related feeds. I've seen "how to make money on bluesky" websites advise folks to do just that. You might want to report them for "advertising spam." #gardening #gardens

In the 'akshully' department: The Czech wolfhound shown chasing the skiiers is not a wolfHOUND, but a wolfDOG. The difference being wolfhounds hunted wolves and wolfdogs were bred FROM wolves and German shepherds to create the Czech wolfdog.

Dearg will soon be 8, he's getting a little creaky, and unlike the wolfhounds, he loves being warm. So he just got a new fuzzy cuddly bed. He's not fond of new things in his environment but he came right up to the new bed and without "digging a hole" in it, just settled right in. #dogsofbluesky

Can anyone who knows more about government than I do tell me why the Minnesota National Guard can't be called in and directed to politely escort the ICE agents the fuck out of the state? Preferably at gunpoint.

I just received a fountain pen from BENU and *surprise* I got an invoice from Fedex saying I owe them the tariff money that they paid on my behalf. I'm pretty sure the emailed invoice isn't a scam but the rate is ~15% and I thought the Armenian tariff rate was 10%. Not happy (tho pen is beautiful).
