I'm a writer, photographer, and nerd, though not necessarily in that order.

I'm also an AvGeek, enjoy tabletop games, and have spent way, way too many years in the legal field.

Hello BlueSky! (And thank you for doing this!)

I'm a writer, photographer, and nerd, but not necessarily in that order. I have the best of my photos now up for sale via SmugMug, and I've even broken them out into categories, like Aviation, Nature, Beach and Ocean, and such.

I hope you enjoy :-)

And the Kahlua Cream Pie out of the oven!
The lines did not line well because I didn't trust the process, lol.
Always a lesson, but the fudge topping didn't seem to be dissolving the fudge, so I *shudders* added a spot more water.
Next time I'll hold te course, but it should still taste good 🤞

I see the back and forth about celebrating Thanksgiving, and I really understand why some people want nothing to do with it.
Im doing a pair of Friendsgivings because I am truly grateful for the people I have in my life, and think the promise of America is worth celebrating and embracing.

Having seen this, I’ve got to say, the KPop Demon Hunter fans need to re-discover Final Fantasy X-2, where you play a girl band who changes fighting classes by changing dresses and has no less than two concerts on the way to saving the world from a giant weapon.
Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I see from my timeline that today's the day lots of Americans like to celebrate with a turkey.

I trust this suffices?

The condensed milk bread! I ran out of time and energy for the pie, but I did get the crust done at least, so it'll go faster come the morn.

I have a pair of Friendsgivings, tomorrow and Friday, and just started the second rise on Condensed Milk bread.
I'm about to start a Copycat Marie Callendar's Kahlua Cream pie while it's rising, and then baking Irish Soda Bread first thing on the morrow.

(I'm getting too old for this, LMFAO)

And sometimes we’re still working full-time jobs that pay the bills but don’t feed our souls because we can’t go without health insurance. 🤷🏼‍♀️ the willingness to wreck ourselves and our lives for art is the point. We forgo luxury (and sleep) to keep creating.
Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

OMG the coach on this Zoom said she & her husband do a "Toxic Family BINGO" (in their heads or on paper they keep private)
Then after they go to a big family gathering they often will treat themselves later to ice cream another night since they got either a BINGO or a Blackout. 😀

After fucking the National Park Service in a variety of supremely petty ways, the regime gives us this absolutely nauseating image. I read the press release announcing these changes and I will spare you the taint-licking obsequiousness.

Family law lawyer here. Oh, he cares alright. Just not the way you mean. He gets the $1 million, custody, no child support, & no parenting time to her "bc she's not in a stable situation." Speaking of betting, guess who I betcha called ICE?

Since the deep-sea accounts for over half the surface of the planet and more than 90% of this world's biosphere, in a very really and quantified way, the unknowable wonders of the deep are the normal ones and us terrestrial outliers are the weird ones.

Bluesky needs an account claiming to be a sapient tree, exclusively quote-posting people's photos.

If a photo contained trees, it would say, "Wood."

Otherwise, it would say, "Woodn't."

This is a solid list.
Ranking Star Wars movies is a thing?

Okay, I'll get in on this.

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Star Wars 1977 theatrical release
3. Rogue One
4. Return of the Jedi (because I was 11)

Everything else is somewhere between "meh" and "why. why. y u do dis?" [sad kitten dot jpg]
