Why do I wear an N95 mask?
Bc Covid will happily destroy your immune system, more each time you get it. It can give you a whole new syndrome and/or awaken & worsen dormant viruses+syndromes.
You do not want a mystery disease like my loved one has now. Our system does not know what to do with you.

FESTIVE WALL OF FESTIVENESS
The colours don't show up quite right in the picture, but I accidentally started a @avalanche.bsky.social neck warmer because I don't have enough cranberry yarn. As a @nhlcanucks.bsky.social fan, I must remove the blue and come up with a new plan.

This owl isn't done with my shit, but is disappointed in me.
It’s not about trying to emotionally endure the owl's gaze. It’s about a complete, inner surrender to it.

99% of owls in pictures look like they're 100% done with our nonsense.
For the #ArtAdventCalendar – a grouchy great horned owl trying to simultaneously sleep and soak sun. I quickly left it be. #birds

I wish I could just give Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold a giant hug (as long as she's ok with it). It's such a shame she's not performing up to her ability.

If I search for something, then am constantly bombarded with ads for it, that's just going to annoy me and make me less likely to buy your thing.

Since Louis CK is in the news again, it's worth restating that he never gave an honest accounting of his sexual misconduct—his initial "apology" and his subsequent statements have been contradicted by the testimony of his victims, and contained elisions and gaps intended to exonerate him.

Is this pattern too "girly" to be appealing to the average dude? Thinking bright green to a lighter green.

This pattern uses stranded color work and changes gradually from one color to the next.

Hey friends and friends!
Black Friday/Xmas looms, and ya friend needs to buy a commuter bike, but knows nothing about them. ~2 miles each way, mostly flat, not too worried about weight. I would love to be able to add saddle bags... not break the bank on the purchase.
Any suggestions/advice? 🤩

Writers: Do you write your essay and then check to see if any markets want what you wrote? I have a hell of an essay brewing. I'm familiar with trying to place fiction, but this is my first time where I'm hoping to publish a personal essay.
