Welcome to BlueSky.

It is really nice that you are following me, but be advised I don't automatically follow back.

However, if you hang out, join the convo, and play nice, maybe we'll end up friends or mutuals.

Equal rights and bodily autonomy for all.
OK. I did the thing. It was the only thing left, so it is done. It wasn't a fun thing, but now it is a finished thing.

So yeah, I did the thing.

To those celebrating Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for this fandom & the friends I’ve made. You’ve continually brought a smile to my face & kept me sane thru the B.S. From me to you, whoever you are, wherever you are, allow me to raise a glass to you in spirit.

From the Orion family to yours. LLAP 🥃🖖🏻

In Librarians Matter news...

As a Library Trustee our community asked about Sunday Hours. Using volunteers we did a trial and the first Sunday opened at 10am with a queue outside the door. Sundays became part of our regular hours.

Librarians make a difference to all our lives.
Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Grocery shopping on the Monday prior to Thanksgiving was madness! I honestly didn't expect that many people.

However, apple strudel and pumpkin pie were acquired, so Yay!

Somehow, @tammi.bsky.social's 'beep beep' backup machine has space warped itself to my street and is now driving me nuts.

Admittedly it's only been two hours but for me it's a very short drive to nuts.

It’s Friday once more, you know what that means.

This week the theme is…are we the baddies?

Let’s see all your rotters and rogues.

As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it!

So my wife asks me to run an errand next week. I think for a minute...

Me: Thursday? I say. Thursday I think will work.

Wife: Thursday is Thanksgiving.

Me: No, that's the following week isn't it?

<Narrators Voice: Next Thursday *is* Thanksgiving.>

Me: Where the hell did November go??

IDIC means celebrating all facets of humanity and ensuring peace, safety and support so we can all manifest our greatest selves. Denying trans people this right is in direct violation of Star Trek’s ethics and core values. Violence against the trans community must end.
