Yes, I took these pictures, with my telescope, from my back porch!

Pitch for #hopepit:
#TheTaleofTwoshirts asks: what happens when the loathsome lordling learns that the one granting wishes isn’t the genie he captured, but his friend, the little goblin boy?
Dramatis Personae et Locus: Snippets about the characters and location, including the Gang, the allies, the antagonists, and the city of Akri. Each chapter is headed by a quote from an in-universe historical book and author, to deepen the worldbuilding and give a humorous perspective on how times have changed. They don’t always agree with one another. The First Page of the Prologue, which begins: “Born an orphan, and raised by Sister Persimmon at the Women and Children's Center of the Goddess of the Harvest, Twoshirts was an inquisitive child that could spin quite a yarn.” An annotated map of the City of Akri. Crescent-shaped around Akri bay, there are three levels: the Up, the Down, and between them, the Left and the Right.

Boggle, as drawn by my eldest kid (they/them). A surly-looking hunched-back goldfish, about eight inches tall, with stumpy arms and legs, tiny angel wings, and a backpack. He rarely expresses an emotion other than dour piscine confusion.

"Describing him was difficult; the best Twoshirts could manage was if you took a surly-looking hunched-back goldfish, about eight or so inches tall, gave it stumpy arms and legs plus a pair of tiny angel wings, you might get close to describing Boggle completely insufficiently. Boggle didn’t like to talk or make noises, and given his fish-shaped face, he rarely expressed an emotion other than dour piscine confusion."

Got out the telescope last night and got an few excellent photos of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon).
Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from a Unistellar eVscope 2. The coma is bright white with hints of blue-green. There are two tails: a diffuse orange tail, and a narrow tail in the middle of the larger tail. The narrow tail is brighter and longer. Both start at the coma and stretch up and to the right. Photo taken October 21 2025, with a 2 minute exposure.

Twoshirts (goblin boy): Think you can still hit it?
Puffer (teenage ogre):


Angie (human girl): Nice throw.
Puffer: Thanks.
