Some people suspect people without profile info. But I'm just here to read some great posts, & sometimes reply. I don't really have content. (Confidential to HRJ: I didn't mean for you to make a strapless silk evening gown!)
@heatherrosejones.bsky.social 's latest publication, Skin-Singer, just arrived. I got a physical copy because it would be harder for someone to yoink it.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Some say this house will end in fire
Some say wisteria
From what I've cut off the exterior
I hold with those who say wisteria
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of plants
To say that, for destruction, fire
Is pretty much the only chance

Sure, this is just a double sunrise due to the way the eclipse geometery worked out, but it may in fact actually be a DEMON SUNRISE.

Fans of Quatermass and the Pit might recognize what it really *truly* is, too.

Sometimes, the most amazing photos from space are of objects close to home.

Or even *of* our home.

This is a lunar eclipse as seen from the Moon. That black disk? That's Earth. And the ring around it? Why, that's the magic.

This is the year I’m bullying all my author friends to also sell their books direct and DRM-free, apart from the usual online marketplaces like Kobo or Amazon.

If Gumroad isn’t to your taste, there’s ko-fi, Patreon, itch.io, payhip

Roses are red (pink, white, yellow, orange, purple, and more),
Violets are...well, if they aren't violet then I don't even know what we're doing here,
Sugar has been overused in western cuisine since the Renaissance,
But in my contrarian, over-analytical way, I love you my dear.

Roses are red,
But that's not quite true,
They absorb every wavelength of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum,
*Except* for that hue.
