Mikki stops (knocking items off the table) and smells the roses.
Mikki is is on the kitchen table next to a vase of red roses. She has her face shoved into the petals. Close up view. The window in the background shows the snowy landscape.

I was at a recent signing where I noted that we suspect about 10 to 15 percent of sales for this book came purely from the cover, and someone in the signing line who heard the comment said "Oh thank god, I'm not alone," which I thought was pretty funny.

Bought this as a vacation read based solely on the cover photo

Has not disappointed
Photo of Greg laying on a beach chair under some coconut trees. In his hand is the book "Starter Villain" by John Scalzi. The cover photo is the top half of an anthropomorphic black and white cat, dressed in a dark suit, white dress shirt, and dark blue tie.

Important study in Sweden found that females may be just as likely to be autistic as males but boys are up to four times more likely to be diagnosed in childhood. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
Autistic girls much less likely to be diagnosed, study says
By age 20 diagnosis rates for men and women almost equal, research finds, challenging assumptions of gender discrepancy

Turned on CBC in time to see the Olympic rings come together. The athlete parade is next. I have to go to work soon. So far I don't see much snow happening despite being in an orange blizzard warning. 🤷🏼‍♀️🥶

And find the custom feeds! There's an awesome Science feed as one example.

Tip for those finding Bluesky sparse or empty:

Follow more people until your feed feels right. You can fix this.

There are a ton of active accounts across a lot of areas. Scientists are waaaaayy more active here than on X, for example.

Just hit that follow button.

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover
(In this case the Beatles if the Beatles were all Black-crowned night herons) 📷🦉🌿
Four black crowned night herons standing in a diagonal line, reflected in almost-still water that looks white in the pre-dawn light. Only the one at front left is in focus, the rest gradually blur. There is a small twig in the lower left corner to complete the sumi-e feel of the whole thing.

This r/askTO question about relocation from Ottawa to Toronto has a wild twist 😆
Where Should We Move? My husband's job has asked him to relocate to Toronto, and we must move in the next 10 months. We currently live in Ottawa, and have only ever visited downtown Toronto, so are looking for advice in suburban neighborhoods we would like. Our criteria: • On the subway line (my husband's office is downtown) • looking for a single family home with a yard (no apartments); we have a dog, so a yard is a must. Ideally we are looking to rent a home for a couple of years before buying, but we would buy immediately if needed. • We only have one car, so need to be within walking distance of essentials (grocery, pharmacy, etc) • I ride horses and will be bringing my horse with me, so looking for a neighborhood that is approximately 30 minutes from a barn. Obviously would also be nice to have a neighborhood with local coffee shops, restaurants, parks for our dog - but trying not to be (too) unrealistic!

The wrestling community is known for being accepting of people with disabilities and providing things like sensory support and ear defenders. It does not surprise me that they do not support humans being hauled off the streets. Also...Luchadors...and Samoans...

This voicemail prompts a number of questions, but one of the top ones for me is how does the Premier of Ontario not have anything better to do with his time than call people up at night and leave passive aggressive voicemails?

"For beneath the Union Jack, we will drive the Fenians back / and we'll fight for our beloved Canadian home."
stillots1.bsky.social Shirley Tillotson @stillots1.bsky.social · 2d
Oh Canada, our nationally hybrid land!

Here, an anti-Fenian song that was also (with slightly different lyrics) a Union song in the US civil war (Prisoner's Hope)

I learned this as a kid, aided by a 1968 songbook published by Sec.State in aid of a Fed-Prov Youth Travel Program

#MyLifeIsHistory
The head note reads "In 1865 the Fenian brotherhood, made up mainly of Irishmen who had come to the United States, conceived the idea of invading Canada and thus forcing Britain to grant Ireland its independence. In 1866, one year before Confederation, the Fenian raids began, but for the most part were ineffective and the raiders were driven back. The Canadian volunteers who fought the fenians were proud of their victories and wrote this song set to an American civil war tune" French version of this head note also given This page gives the refrain. "Tramp tramp tramp the boys are marching! Cheer up, comrades, let them come. For beneath the Union Jack we will drive the Fenians back. And we'll fight for our beloved Canadian home."

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
