The one rule for admission into the galactic community is for a presumptive member species to not have already invented social media. Oh well…

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? I’m screwed… at least they have pitchforks. No offense Monty.

#deathloverobots meets #extrapolations in my new collection “Moral Laundry”. Out now everywhere but the Zon. conradaltmann.com/moral-laundr... 📚💙 📚🪐 📚🤏 #shortstorycollection #sciencefiction

The key word for this morning is “or”. As in: wine OR whiskey, not wine AND whiskey. Though the exit polls for “aspirin” have it in a close second.

The last #iris. Ann Chowling. First bloom and spectacular!

Some of the #orchids found on my #botanizing hike in the Trascau mountains. Names in alt #flowerreport #bloomscrolling 💚🌱

I love the natural beauty of my adoptive country. If only it’s natural born children appreciated it as much as I do…

Exolegacy chapter 15 “The Dream” is live on YouTube (ad free!). youtu.be/t-Uzd9soNTQ Gin meets the newest member of her team, and learns that a plan has been laid out without her say… 📚💙 📚🪐

www.404media.co/teachers-are... Oof. I foresee the rise of neoluddism in the near future.

Pretty little swamp at Soggy Bottom.

Black veined White on the Dianthus this morning

Mammatus clouds before the storm today. Thankfully the new tomato rig withstood the wind.

I want to start something new. Every Friday, I want to feature HUMAN creatives and what you've made. So if you're an author, artist, musician or any other type of creative, drop your links below so we can buy your human made art. #HumanMadeArt Image source: hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

Many Manisae of either gender strive for the honor of being elevated to the agendered form. With it comes increased intelligence and memory, as well as the removal of irrelevant hormones, as many achieve leadership roles.

So disappointed BBNYA allows AI generated covers. I don't think I'll be taking part in this comp anymore. You can't claim you're a competition for writers and throw artists under the bus. We're all part of the same community. Smh.

I leave you tonight with a view of a massive cloud-wing stretching over the Transylvanian hills. Sleep well, and may you dream fully formed plots and remember them upon waking.

Tomorrow morning (EEST) my short story collection “Moral Laundry” launches! #sciencefiction 📚💙 📚🪐 📚🤏

#Anacamptis coriophora in the wild hills above the house today. I’m not an #orchid nut like some (no pun intended), but I do enjoy finding them on my botanizing. #flowerreport 💚🌱

The big #roses are blooming. No idea what they’re called, but the bush is over a meter tall now.

Does anyone know the name of this #iris cultivar? I bought it without the tag and I love it.

Some new blooms from the garden #nloomscrolling 💚🌱

Reading “Why We Can’t Wait” by MLK Jr. and I’m wondering how much of it resonates with Romani here in Romania. I know it’s not a 1-to-1 comparison societally, but I need to know more before making assumptions. 📚💙 🇷🇴

I might need to release my collection a few days earlier before it switches genres from fiction to nonfiction. 📚💙📚🤏🏼

Digital love and loss, new-capitalism resource management, hand-me-down truths, corporeal copyright expirations and more in “Moral Laundry: Seven Cautionary Tales of the Near Future” out this Friday! 📚💙 📚🪐 📚🤏 #shortstorycollection #sciencefiction

I like the genus #Centaurea (cornflowers) but some I like more than others… like this C. atropurpurea that took four years to bloom. 💚🌱 #bloomscrolling

Eddie thought it would be smart to scale the outside wall and fell. Thankfully just stunned. Helped him back to his lounge under the spigot. Daughter didn’t help… 🦎💚
