Just finished knitting this slouchy hat, which for some reason reminds me of a Dutch baby and now I want breakfast @wrenandpurl.bsky.social

It is entirely logical to be furious at the fossil fuel industry, whose decades-long campaign of corrupting politicians, crafting fake science, sowing false doubt, and lying at an industrial scale has brought us to this moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/o...

Nico was very happy with his Christmas drugs (he got a catnip pickle embroidered with “I’m a big dill!”)

Merlin has no respect for end-of-semester grading. He demands that I pet him, and smacks me until I comply.

Hwæt! There is a MAGIC WAND that detects which switch on your circuit breaker panel operates which wall outlet!! And if you plug in the plug-innable part to the outlet, you can then WAVE THE MAGIC WAND at your circuit breaker panel and it will beep to tell you which switch to throw! !! !!!!

This is heartbreaking. One of only two major prizes for disability literature is failing after just 3 years. Please repost, like, etc. Someone must have some ideas/support/money.

![I have been the primary administrator of The Barbellion Prize since it was first awarded in 2020. At first I was able to fulfil my duties, but ongoing events (especially regarding my health) mean that I am struggling to maintain the prize and communicate with others to practically support me. There is no solid plan for The Barbellion Prize to function without me administering or co-ordinating it, and it has become too difficult given my ongoing medical issues — and other events. As such, the prize will be put on an indefinite hiatus until we have concrete support from a sponsor or suitable administration that can keep the prize going. The 2023 Barbellion Prize will unfortunately not be able to be fulfilled due to administrative difficulties and my own poor health. We may be able to continue in 2024 under better circumstances. […] If you have any questions then please feel free to send an email to: TheBarbellionprize@mail.com](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uovxkkwg37iajsgndg5owooq/bafkreih7tqr7jhecah2z3ukbmzjhjqfshzzvbzkzdiv34kt5vmjodyp6jq@jpeg)

Maybe Merlin’s middle name should be “Comestor,” or maybe he should have an epithet. Merlin the Destroyer. This is the third book he’s tried to eat (I thought it was out of his reach).

Sometimes one may not realize that the consequences of responding to the innocuous question, “Do you like mangoes?” are being gifted with a mango. I have now been mango’d.

Well, time for my first thread here on BlueSky, and I'm pissed off. I've been catching up on the situation with F&SF and Sheree Thomas. I'm slow because I'm not on FB anymore, where apparently the bulk of the convo is happening, and I'm barely on Twitter. Anyway.

This excellent Nose of Percy was sent to me by his daycare. They are also clearly fans of the Nose.
