A post by @revmagdalen.bsky.com: I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes. A comment by zachwlambert: I can't wait to stay up late on No Kings Eve to eat bites of the Resistance Frog cookies, put pocket Constitutions in my grandchildren's shoes, and then wake up the next morning for a dance party to all of our favorite Rage Against the Machine songs

A post from Timothy Snyder Five things to remember about war: 1. Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true 2. Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics 3. The rationale given for a war will change over time, such that actual success or failure in achieving a named objective is less relevant than one might think 4. Wars are unpredictable 5. Wars are easy to start and hard to stop

First pick up from my CSA today. 3 quarts of absolutely gorgeous strawberries 🍓🍓🍓 These berries are perfectly ripe and they smell amazing! I almost ate a whole quart in the car on my way home from the farm!
Three quarts of ripe, local strawberries from Hanson’s Farm in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Something pretty because joy is an act of rebellion.
My diva of an iris. She is always late, she never apologizes, and she has a flair for the dramatic. Two iris blooms. Ruffled white petals with violet and gold shading, against the backdrop of day lily and raspberry foliage

This is my dog. He’s basically 23 pounds of codependence with fur.
My four and a half year old pug, Crouton. He is very close to the camera. Very. Close.

Something pretty, because joy is an act of resistance.
A Northern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly chilling in my garden compost bin. Black and yellow segmented wings with spots of turquoise and orange-red along the bottom. The butterfly perches, wings folded on a clump of soil between wilted yellow zinnia blossoms.

Went out for an early 20th anniversary dinner with @enchanted-tiki.bsky.social. When I told our server it was our anniversary, he confettied our table, and comped me a flute of sparkly wine 🥂

My new short story, Collision & Coincidence, got its first review out there in the wild!
A screen shot of an Amazon review of COLLISION & COINCIDENCE by Cameron Garriepy. Verified purchaser WendyLou gives it five stars and says, “steamy and wanting more. What a fun read. I was looking for something carefree to read and was alerted that Ms. Garriepy has a new book. Perfect I thought. Now I'm all caught up in the characters and I can't wait for the sequel.”

Something pretty. Because joy is an act of revolution.

I’m eating it for dinner, but it would also make a #GoodLunch

Teen boys don’t always say, “I love you,” but sometimes they leave you a note and an empty wrapper to let you know they were home between school and lacrosse practice, but you missed them because you were out with the dog, and that’s basically the same thing ❤️
Still life photograph of a sticky note from a pad I got at a Worcester Academy alumni event, a black Sharpie marker, the empty wrapper of a Special K protein bar, and the base of my blue Yeti water bottle on a natural wood surface. The note reads, “Protein bar bandit”

The book cover for COLLISION & COINCIDENCE: A Thornton Adjacent Steamy Short, by Cameron D Garriepy. The image depicts a close up of an old fashioned key hanging from the lock of a partially open door lit in gentle rose-pink light. In the shadows beyond, a man and woman are passionately embracing. They are shown in gently blurred silhouette.

I really need to stop preordering chicks. I did it for the first time in October of 2019. Last year I did it in November 😬 But! Tomorrow I will have chicks 🐣
The interior of a chick brooder pen. Collapsible pen with pine shavings for bedding, a cardboard divider to keep the space small while the chicks are acclimating, a plate-style heater, and feeding and watering stations ready to be filled when the chicks arrive.

I’ve been away from bsky for a weekish because I’m part of the volunteer board that hosts a national #archery tournament event in my state. Some stats:
13 volunteers
1 25-Foot truck
10.5 hours
5 laser snapped lines
11 backstop nets
11 pre-marked line mats
1 lunch break
So. Much. Floor tape 🫣

I’d like to state for the record that I am taking down my fancy artificial Christmas tree full of vintage and niche glass ornaments against my will. My family is apparently freaked out by it in February 🙄🎄
A decorated and lit artificial Christmas tree with a red skirt and a Grumpy Octopus plushie where the star would be. It’s decorated with antique and vintage ornaments, kitschy ornaments, and ornaments I’ve bought while traveling–including a collection of glass Mickey Ears from Disney, a glass macaron, a glass TARDIS, a glass pickle (IYKYK), my mom and maternal grandmother’s vintage ornaments, it’s crowded and sparkling… A ceramic gingerbread house and a copy of The Night Before Christmas from the 1950s are tucked under the tree. The tree stands next to a piano, and a poster of Le Chat Noir hangs on the wall to its right.

If you see this, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.
A photograph of an eight-year old boy running on the ridgeline of a giant manmade sand dune at Hampton Beach, NH. The image is washed in blue tones and the sun is high, creating a dramatic lens flare effect, limning the boy’s silhouette. Rosy peach cirrus clouds trail near the horizon.

Apparently Lucy Parker’s “aloof, arrogant, vain, and emotionally closed-off, but secretly gentle and generous when he falls relentlessly and unexpectedly in love” hero-type is, in fact, a whole catnip for me. The voice-acting was an absolute delight, to boot.
#Romancelandia
The audiobook cover image for MIS-DIRECTED, an audible ORIGINAL by LUCY PARKER,STARRING NICOLA COUGHLAN & GWILYM LEE *ONLY FROM audible. The image is a mint green background with a stylized strip of pink film zig-zagging across the center with the title in white. A woman’s silhouette holding an umbrella is seated on top of the film strip. A man’s silhouette is standing upside down on the underside of the film strip, offset in the zig-zag.

An excerpt from Cameron Garriepy’s forthcoming romance, posted for #FridayKiss: Sean was waiting for her by his locker after Woodside Singers' practice. He sat on the floor, hunched over his guitar, playing Cady's favorite Sarah McLachlan song. She picked up the melody as she approached. Sean didn't look up. "You are singing with me tonight." She couldn't. Could she? "I can hear you trying to talk yourself out of it." Sean was looking up at her now, his fingers still idly strumming the chord progression. His half-smile flirted with his mouth, and his hair was pushed behind his ears. Cady's lungs squeezed. "If you want me to, I will," she said, more bravely than she felt.

A screenshot of a post by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC Trump is holding all the nation's hospitals and vital services hostage to seize power from Congress and hand it over to billionaires. We must state the truth: this is a constitutional crisis. It's a massive, illegal power grab that the House and Senate have a sworn duty to stop.
