But DANG did it chafe when I debuted and people were categorizing Chef's Kiss as sapphic. Ray was on the page as saying they were masc nonbinary! They hated being lumped in with women. But it happened anyway bc some people need that black-or-white: sapphic or achillean. When Queer is right there?

But tonight Lv1 is alive and in the west
highlands with his herd. It is a perfect
winter evening: the moon rising over
the ice fields, the snow in the wind.
And as he stares into the skybox, there
is 1/50th as much health as usual.

THE WITCH ROADS is now available in audiobook, narrated by the fabulous Ella Lynch (she & I exchanged many lovely emails over this book).

So if you want a grimsweet tale of a humble deputy courier, a possessed prince, & a ravenous fungal ghost plague:

For my textile buddies, this was all I could get—a cotton(?) cloth piece from 200BC. Google thinks the sign said it was embroidered, but honestly, it looked almost painted to me?

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

do you want to read a weird western novella about what happens to dreams denied and who counts as part of a community and how even the worst parts of us can be yoked to serve? Also do you want to help pay our plumbing bill?

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 12 copies of @lishmcbride.bsky.social's Hold Me Closer, Necromancer (Necromancer Series Book 1), which I have, have read, and love. Although I haven't read it in a dozen years or so. It's *fun*.

Really cool thread!
IN CONCLUSION (finally) a desert or dry prairie grassland does not need to be made into trees! It’s pulling its carbon weight just fine! Respect the grassland! Respect the desert! It is not a slacker! It is doing big shit on way less water, and we should work with it, not against it.

Another very cool thing this museum did that I haven’t seen before were braille displays with replicas of some of the statuary so that people could touch them. That’s a great idea and more places should do it.

"And so they came, at a friend's behest.
To Ishgard, shining city on the mount, overlooking the dominion of Coerthas...
A land that after a thousand years of war had forgotten what it meant to be at peace."

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Heavensward today.

Holy shit I fucking got it. I've been awake since 4:03am, I drove 95 miles, got here at 7:10am, and at 4:29pm one of the peregrine falcons attacked TWO pelicans and made contact on THREE attempts. 17 useful frames.

Here's a fast edit on my phone.
