I'm refusing to give Kitty more wet feed tonight.
She's shocked, and very verbal about it.

I see that there is a message feature here, but that all followers/ friends can't be messaged. It could be an alternative to Messenger, though?

The handle there is TheBryde. Short and modest,wouldn't you say?
And it's a sad photo, because I'm sad.

I had a very short trip to York this time, but managed to catch the great VALHAll:A conference in the company of Hilde Thunem. The subject was "Home in the Viking Age". I enjoyed every talk!

I just got a beautiful edition of the Edda poems! It's a translation using archaic "New Norwegian", and I love the colours of the front cover.

Threads isn't threading well, Facebook isn't facing. I'll see if I can manage to fly in the Blue, Blue Sky!

Someone on Threads suggested that there should be a national day of protest in The States on Feb. 17th at noon (I can apparently not share the link here, and it's suppressed on fb), just so you know.😀

Trying to stay busy!

Putting together a talk about monograms, giving a talk about embroideries from all over the world and preparing a class in hand sewing the Viking Age Viborg shirt.

Happy Wolfenoot to those who observe! Kittywolf demanded extended lap-time today, and she got it.

Someone on Facebook told me that Bluesky has more bots than Twitter.

I answered that the reason may be that Twitter doesn't exist anymore?
