I visited a local nursery/greenhouse, entered a raffle, and won! They handed me this big pot full of coleus and something else that drapes nicely and suggested I wait until after the last likely frost (Tues. night) to put it outside.

W00t! My copy is here! @adapalmer.bsky.social
Ada Palmer’s book, Inventing the Renaissance. It has an orange cover with the title in white, over a black image of Perseus holding the Medusa’s head aloft. He’s also holding a sword, the blade of which interweaves with the letters of “the” in the title.

Without downloading any news pics, my energy going into 2025:
A creature from the Moomin series walking toward a cliff. There's a speech bubble from them that reads, "I only want to live in peace and plant potatoes and dream!"

I introduced my book group to Murderbot. Today they threw me a fair well lunch and gave me this. I’m going to miss them.
A square sticker with multicolored stripes, and the head and partial shoulders of an androgynous figure in a face-obscuring helmet. There’s text on it that reads, “Introverted. But willing to discuss Sanctuary Moon.”

Here are 200 voting reminder postcards, ready to go in the mail tomorrow. I wrote, addressed, and stamped them while watching Xena: Warrior Princess last month. Easiest GOTV job ever!
Two stacks of postcards with an image of a lighthouse by blue-green water. There’s text over the image that reads Michigan Votes Tuesday, Nov. 5.

I have a swallow on my upper arm. It’s a detail from a Minoan fresco on Santorini.
A pale upper arm with a tattoo showing a swallow. Most of it is heavy black lines, but the face is red and some details are white.

The northern lights made it all the way to NC last night. Here are some photos from just north of Pittsboro.

Lucy Liu, from Kill Bill, saying "Tear the bitch apart!"

If you’re in the Chapel Hill area and like carnivorous plants, the NC Botanical Gardens is the place to be. Check out these pitcher plants!
