#BlueSky ⚠️PSA⚠️

Please watch out for scams this #holiday season.

My author domain was co-opted by a scammy Amazon vendor selling...watches. 😮😞

I'm contacting my hosting provider & ISP to get this fixed & the scammer reported.

Mmm. My sister and I had a weekend kitchen triumph 👇🏽👇🏽

Homemade General Tso's chicken.

Crunchy w/a rich, sweet-and-savory sauce. 😋

Delicious.

#BlueSky, it's #Book Lovers Day!

A #fiction series I loved in my teens was Brian Jacques' Redwall series, feat. British medieval adventure ⚔️—but w/mice, otters & badgers as heroes. 🦦

What #read has inspired you most?

*SPOILERS*
Fave scenes in #StrangeNewWorlds S3E1:

Uhura + team used solar cycles to WARN of the Gorn's rise from hibernation 😈

Capt. Pike prevented a terrifying Gorn invasion by turning the ship into a STAR☀️?

Gotta love Pelia's mischievous mentoring style in #StrangeNewWorlds S3E1. 😁

Mid-crisis, Scottie couldn't recall how to finish his invention.

Pelia simulated shipboard panic, bringing out Scottie's brilliance.👌🏽

"I've found that even in the darkest circumstances, there is a light.

Sometimes only a glimmer.

Trust that light.

Find a way back, no matter what it takes."

As summer heats up 🥵 I'm relishing refreshingly cool & sweet coconut water from my local supermarket.

W/natural electrolytes, it's a tasty AND healthy way to stay hydrated!

Enjoy National Coconut Day 🥥

It's the Int'l Day of the Lynx, a snow-loving wildcat native to North America, Europe and Asia.

Dinner last night — scrumptious.

Made a batch of Jamaican saltfish (codfish) fritters, filled w/the savory flavors of thyme, escallion and scotch bonnet pprs.

Happy birthday, Colm Meaney!

His #StarTrek character, Chief O'Brien "inherits a station that's physically broken, riddled w/Cardassian booby traps, secret codes & condescending messages from Gul Dukat."
(ScreenRant)

Rising to the challenge, he became 1 of Trek's most innovative, beloved engineers.
