A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Very cool in content and method. But I do like most that step 1 is Bedazzle the Honeybees.

Could be a caspian pink? They’re pleated and beefsteak sized. Their pleating is only at the top tho, not all the way down.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

"Florence Craye ran her Powered by the Apocalypse homebrew the other night, Jeeves. Have you played PbtA, Jeeves?"

"I have not yet had the pleasure, sir."

"Nor have I, Jeeves. Not a twenty-sider to be had. One would think dice technology hadn't advanced since the days of Parker Brothers." I took a harrowed sip of my energy drink. "I tried to roll initiative and was called an 'incurable gamist.'"

"Most distressing, sir."

"Give Bertram Wooster dungeons, Jeeves. Give him dragons. Give him dice by the handful. I'm a simple man, Jeeves."

"Yes, sir."

Alas, I hate my new journal. There is nothing like hating a journal to make you feel like an insufferable Goldilocks: "This cover is too hard! This paper is too thick!" But also if I don't like it, I won't use it. 🀷

I maintain that a significant part of why the Idaho Stop works is that drivers have absolutely no problem seeing cyclists when they're doing something drivers think they shouldn't.

Ooooooh! That is delightful lighting. I’m doing well! New job, new city, same love of the cephalopod. How are you?

Why are all these people dressed on the train like it is the snowy arctic north out there? It is 45F and sunny! There is a gentle breeze at best! Crocuses are gonna get ideas at this rate. At a certain point, dressing for the weather you want just makes you sweaty.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

On the first night of winter, St. Nautilus flies through the air, pelting good children with candy and dousing the naughty ones in ink.

I suppose it could on the corded base? I wonder if it would cost more to produce. Also I assume there are people who like the app feature that yells at you when the tea is at the right temp ( I do not).

Ok, yes, I know I know. But hear me outβ€” if you’re prone to having your tea go cold all the time, the ember mug is really great. And I never have to open the app except to change the holding temp, which I never do.

Oh no! I hope the Kpop boys keep you entertained during the tedium of hospital life and you’re able to get out of there soon!

In better news, I have discovered my plant store. A little far of a walk but well stocked, decent prices, and SO nice.

You can always tell when the straights have decorated for Halloween. They have NO concept of draping. Their spider webs look like someone stuck cotton candy on top of a bush. Their witches dangle like an execution.

On the one hand, the trees outside my new apartment make some fun shadow patterns on my ceiling. OTOH, I’m now very aware of how annoyed I’m going to be in 5 hours with this blindless, curtainless window.
