When I rant to my wife about the #news, I often say things like, “If there’s a future, people will look back at this time and…” I must be a real joy to live with.

The cover blurb on this one pretty much tells you everything you need to know. But read on for a few brief thoughts. ⬇️

The main thing that bothered me about The Beast in Me was when Claire Danes learns the missing wife was into bird-watching and she’s like how did she get into such and *unusual* hobby and I’m like wut?

The Black Crowned Night Heron finally moved out from behind some of the branches...and the sun came out momentarily!

Hiding behind the bush branches and perched above the pond, the black Crowned Night Heron was about to fly and meet his family. More wildlife photos soon.

There's an anomaly in time... 1912, 2020, 2203... This literary #scifi pandemic novel covers a lot in 255 pages, but the concise prose does all it needs to and reads like a charm. This has heart and ideas, so...👍

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

I’m glad reviews for The Beast in Me are generally good, but I saw one proclaim it peak TV and I’m sorry, no. It’s entertaining enough for woman-may-be-living-next-door-to-psychokiller fluff. #BeastInMe #Netflix

Me: dismayed that my son now wants stupid shit like the #StrangerThings #HotWheels car.

Days *I’ve* gone without wanting stupid shit: Zero.

Got my church schedule book! I actually don’t have much use for it, but I’m hoping it will help me pick up some liturgical calendar lingo in Japanese.

No idea what this species is. My determination app says it's Mycena pseudocorticola, but I'm not so sure. Another app is saying Rickenella swartzii. If anyone can help, I'd be grateful.

It’s always fun when there are musical mishaps at #church: a member of the congregation launches into the part only for the pastor before realizing the error and abruptly cutting off with a mortified, strangled sound… 1/5 #Lutheran
