My girls and their (sometimes) unusual eggs. 😁
A hen named Ginger exhibing proudly her black and orange feathers. No one could guess that she's a fearless cause of mayhem in the garden. Two hens posing for the camera. Ginger is looking upwards, daring the photographer to get closer and risk their phone to get snatched. Molly, on the other side, is oblivious to the situation. A whole egg laying on a human hand's palm. The egg is so big that almost covers the palm, it also is strangely longer than usual. A long plastic plant container, filled with soil, holds fifteen eggs. They were hidden in there for more than one week while the hens' human was losing their mind, wondering if both hens had suddenly stopped laying eggs. The answer was no, they hadn't, they just decided that the nest wasn't so attractive anymore so moved the production site to a cooler one.

Knitting & dry humping, your average Saturday morning activities. 😏
A hand is holding a half knitted sock. On the background, a white cat with big dark tabby spots is humping that person's left leg while grabbing a blanket between his teeth.

My 1st #writing project ever is a dystopic sci-fi thriller that I started longtime ago but shelved it, turning my attention to shorter projects. I didn't plan to continue it as it's very long and complex but it never stopped calling me. I'm reading it today & damn, it's so good!

Time to work on it.

Currently reading The Accidental Time Travelers Collective, Vol 3, and I must say I'm enjoying it a lot. If you like short stories about time travel from different perspectives, don't look further.
Thanks for this discovery, @writernatswift.bsky.social!

All You Can Eat Buffet.

He's been coming every evening at the same hour for some days now, smaller than my hand's palm. 🦔 🥹
A baby hedgehog is eating dry cat food from a rectangular plastic container. All his body is inside it and he's standing on the food, as if it was a tiny swimming pool as little as he is.

When an "author" bio is written in 3rd person and sounds like copied from their website, check their replies. "Kindly" is a favorite term for fakers.
Screenshot of the replies from Jeanette Walsh, whose account is clearly fake. Her replies are similar to those usually utiluzed by bots and scammers.

Post 4 characters that describe your personality.
The Joker from the movie The Dark Knight in front of a giant pile of money that he just set in flames. He's wearing a disturbing cliwn make-up, all smudged and caked. Fleabag, the main character from the series Fleabag, resting against a wall during a break from a family dinner. She's looking absentmindedly to her right with an exasperated expression while holding a cigarette in her right hand. Miss Peregrine from the movie Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. She's holding a pocket watch in front of a little girl, looking at her with a mixture of discipline and affection.

Photo of a rather dark landscape. There's a field of poppies on the foreground, their petals creating a red blanket in the distance. On the background, a group of low mountains are darkened by big grey clouds. Some sunrays passing through them illuminate the sky. The words "The Infinite Field" in white color can be seen in front of the clouds. As a second red star rose beyond the horizon, steaming clouds slowly formed above the still surface of the newborn lake, growing in height as higher temperatures transformed its liquid content onto lighter gaseous particles. Following a swirly motion pattern, they ascended towards the sky like fragile tendrils, only to be shredded then by a soft breeze.
