Calianna was so glad to visit the Lavish Chateau, give congratulations on Fjord and Jester's wedding, and show off her wedding outfit!

@sherlockhulmes.bsky.social I love this character so much and jump at any opportunity to cosplay her!💚

My Lucky 13 from @fridaytea.com came and it's *so* tasty! ☕

Ambitiously also got tea cakes thinking "That's a cool way to try new flavors...I'll have to learn how to brew correctly before they come!" then promptly did no such thing, so I know what I'll be researching tonight.

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

“Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

“Oh, I feel very angry a lot of the time," said Tiffany, "but I just put it away somewhere until I can do something useful with it.”

Discworld QOTD, from Lords and Ladies

“I had to learn. All my life. The hard way. And the hard way’s pretty hard, but not so hard as the easy way.”

Time to post it again.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

A long but valuable thread - worth a read.

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!

Read Pope Leo XIV's first homily as pope

During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo XIV said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

To the stranger seated next to me at a concert this weekend who realized I was deaf and typed the title of each song onto their phone as it started to cue me to which one it was so I could enjoy the show more fully:

I hope life brings you nothing but kindness, gentleness, and amazing things. 🤟

Had to get a catnip No-Face pillow from Caverns and Calicos for the fuzzy horde at home, too! (Couldn't find these vendors on Bluesky, but they're all easy enough to find via a search elsewhere.)

Overall a great first time at this con. Now to sleep!

Saw so many amazing cosplays, though I didn't get any pictures - I'm sure others will share! Met great folks in various lines and had fun chatting while we waited. Found a few D&D vendors in the mix - loved The Dicey Dungeon charm bracelets, and absolutely smitten with SmokingGlueGuns handmade dice!

First GalaxyCon was so much fun! Asked CR Dice Dragon Laura Bailey to bless my fav d20 (from @longdogdice.com) with a lucky roll and she rolled an 18! Was able to give her the stuffie Trinket I made, and add her autograph to the CR cast I've been slowly collecting over the years. She was so kind!

Not me getting misty eyed just reading the first few lines on the back of the @criticalrole.bsky.social 10 year anniversary hoodie....never the right words for how much these have meant over the years.

Thanks for all the stories, y'all. Here's to many more!

I know it’s a lot of doom and gloom and people don’t know where to start so my suggestion is find your neighborhood/close by community fridge. Take when you need and donate when you can. That is something you can do.

This is correct — and, in fact, typical. Opposition parties typically aren't the driving force behind movements against democratic backsliding.

To see what an alternative strategy looks like, read my new piece www.vox.com/politics/399...

This, the whole thread - beautiful. I am three cats old, and the deep ache of loss of those that came before is ever fresh. With the current fuzzy horde, that ache will grow exponentially someday, but I would do it all again in a heartbeat - life is nothing without these beautiful souls.

Amazing Digital Carcass @amagire.bsky.social · Feb 11

one of my favorite quotes expresses the same sentiment in more words

Irving Townsend
American record producer
(1920-1981)

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle; easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan."
"Another cat? Perhaps. For love there is also a season; its seeds must be resown. But a family cat is not replaceable like a wornout coat or a set of tires. Each new kitten becomes its own cat, and none is repeated. I am four cats old, measuring out my life in friends that have succeeded but not replaced one another."
