My only note is that given the rest of the anatomy, it makes more sense to have a lateral swim motion, not an up-&-down tail. Unless, of course, it’s a fin-swimmer, rather than a tail swimmer, like the difference between how seals swim vs seal lions.
</unsolicited dork rant> 😅

Okay, but… if it’s a benthic dweller, then I think it makes sense. The huge hydrofoil fins would be perfect for a slow-mover, and the tripod stilts are found in actual benthic fish that adopt a “wait and lunge” feeding strategy.

Gyot-dang, Bluesky needs a not-happy react button. 😕

Not transgender, not a drag queen, but... surprising exactly no one.
I am so fucking tired of the Orcs pointing at the Hobbits and going, "LOOK, ORCS!!!!!"

My post-canon Game of Thrones series where I give Podrick a pretty ginger BF with whom to quest is careening right into super smooshy Romantasy territory and I've no plan whatsoever to fix the brakes. ❤️😜

It's times like this I wish I weren't an atheist so that I could wallow in the delicious satisfaction knowing the horrors that await you eternally in Hell.

I don't care in the least what this person would have done.
I care that - though they'd sooner die than admit it - the inarguable MOST popular religion in the Global North is the worship of tangible goods extorted through brute violence from the Global South.
Sincerely,

* ...Because I'm mad at Daddy Jan.
Sorry, don't feel like deleting and reposting. Bluesky DOES need an edit button. ;)

I'd love to see some data on this tidbit that was apparently keister-pulled. My lack of an X account isn't because I'm at Daddy Jan (Elon HATES being called Jan), but rather that talking to people on that platform is pointless.
They are as lost as a people can be.

Me offering up the Puerto Rico Trench off the north coast of my island - second deepest spot in ANY ocean on the planet - for the… um… cause.
I mean, if we're looking for deep trenches with very little likelihood of anything coming back out, this one's hard to beat. 😉

Me & My Chronic Insomnia: *rattling off the chemical names, NOT brand names, of the sleep aids I have tried*
My Doctor: Wrey, I’ve been in practice for over 30 years and even I don’t know those names the way you just gave them. No, that’s not a compliment.

It's metric I use to define a "good book". It should be a different book each time I crack the cover. It should have many ports of entry depending on the ship, I, the reader, plan to dock.

Wild in the sense that it almost points to a kind of sought-after humiliation. Like, you KNOW what's coming if you use that tag. The human psyche is infinitely bizarre and fascinating.

This right here left me more than gobsmacked. Knowing full-well how people feel about it, that people would put themselves on blast using a tag is wild.

Dear UK,
Are you okay? Seriously, though, are you? You’re over there gesticulating wildly at the fuckery in the USA while making the same plans as them, just on a smaller budget and with more polite wording.
Sincerely,

Both paretns worked, but I grew up in military bases, which are basically giant play pens as regards safety. I was defo an "outside until the streetlights come on" kid.

Dear Prosecution:
One of the hardest razor’s edges to walk as a writer is in the construction of a compelling “villain”. The reason being - the most compelling ones have a solid point to argue. Like, rock solid. Like, “Is this actually the bad guy, or is Batman the bad guy?” solid.
Just sayin.

The first of many wonderful things my mom did for me was to install the Rainbow Widget in my OS. One of the next wonderful things she did was to yank the Religion Module and replace it with the Language Expansion Pack.

I love how no one needs an explanation. The zeitgeist is internally synchronous! 😂❤️
