More differences popping up between the untouched meadow and the other sections. Found non-native cinquefoil and St John's Wort blooming in the untouched section. Booooo. Also a ton of fleabane in that section AND a fresh groundhog burrow. Yaaaaaaay! 🌱🌿

Stop asking questions. You have all the answers you need. The age for questions over. The time of the Orc has come. Imagine the Empire blowing up Alderaan and the Rebellion initiating a fucking fact-finding committee.

And now Etsy has fallen over. (So has Spotify, so I'm sure things will be back online later.) I'm having a crisis here, could we have a less? Ko-Fi is still up - can I interest you in a wallpaper or two? Grab a bundle and get a big discount: ko-fi.com/turtleofcalm...

Men, if someone tells you that something you said or did was creepy, trying to explain why it wasn't creepy just makes it creepier. You do not have the right to feel comfortable making other people comfortable, even if you're a "good person."

This is not just a warzone. It’s our home. Our memories lie under rubble, but our words rise above it..

agree with this trot from buckaroo @scalzi.com when i first came to bluesky there was almost double engagement from 5K followers on here vs my 100K on scoundrel pit twitter. i am on like seven dang platforms and THIS is the one i use to determine how somethings REALLY doing. its the only honest one

Today,my body and dignity were shattered at the American aid center in Nitsarim as I tried to secure flour for my children. A broken father’s cry for mercy, especially for my daughter Kinda. I appeal to every free soul to support my daughter Kinda and my family in this hard time. gofund.me/edd687b8

I finished the BBC Pride and Prejudice mini series last night because I couldn't find anything better to watch. It at no point managed to endear itself to me. 95% of the characters were insufferable. Neither Firth or Ehle managed to make their characters feel 3 dimensional. It's been a couple

Gee golly, I love how every morning I have to check the Air Quality Index now to see if I'll be able to walk outside without a mask. It hasn't been in the green zone in...3 weeks?

New poll. Is my bloody nose (not one of my normal symptoms) due to: A. High stress increasing blood pressure B. Two weeks of wildfire smoke C. Perimenopause

Watching our CEO's dog lick its balls behind her during this company wide meeting.

I just realized my husband's birthday is the same day as Trump's. Now I have proxy ick.

I want to start the human version of ChatGPT that employs people who are autistic, have ADHD, or are disabled. Flexible hours, pays a living wage, work from home. And people can use it exactly like ChatGPT except they'll be talking to people who know wtf they're talking about or are able to

Last night I dreamed that I was Trump's minder and he went swimming in a pool that was connected to the ocean so I had to go too. I realized in the pool that I had a cut on my shoulder that was bleeding. As I tried to climb out, a Great White Shark swam in and made a meal out of Trump. 💖

*sigh* I tried to offer seeds from the native meadow to neighbors and heard not a peep. Whyyyyyyyyyy would they rather have giant lawns they NEVER use instead of pretty flowers.

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

I release two cross stitch patterns on my Patreon every month, always starting with an original design. This time around, I've stitched up a cute lil' froggo sitting on a mushroom, to go with a snail design I released last year. I think they turned out super cute, do you? #crossstitch #stitchskys

How about a little Tour De Shop, see how many of these pendants can find a home? These were something a little different for me - dyed onyx keeps the natural banding of the stone, but with another colour overlaid. A & D still available! oishiny.etsy.com/listing/6229...

Another 40 minute rage meltdown from Miss 12. Watching mental illness consume your only child is horrific in a way that is probably only comparable to addiction. There's help but she won't accept it. She is so smart, funny, and talented and OCD has her hogtied in a box of panic and anger.
