Happy Mardi Gras
Happy Lunar New Year of The Horse
A photo I took at Cajun Mardi gras in Eunice Louisiana in 2011. A man wearing a colorful costume of multiple ruffled fabrics and a tall colored pointed hat rides a brown and white horse through a green field of grass beneath a blue sky with puffy white clouds.

Made myself a love song playlist and mostly what I have learned from this is that Hum Hallelujah still rings me like a bell.

Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.

You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻‍♀️

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising.

IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar.

Reposts very welcome. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

thinking about Nick Groom's suggested "seven types of obscurity" in Gothic novels, forming a handy "is it goth" checklist lmao
Meteorological (mists, clouds, wind, rain, storm, tempest, smoke, darkness, shadows, gloom). Topographical (impenetrable forests, inaccessible mountains, chasms, gorges, deserts, blasted heaths, icefields, the boundless ocean). Architectural (towers, prisons, castles covered in gargoyles and crenellations, abbeys and priories, tombs, crypts, dungeons, ruins, graveyards, mazes, secret passages, locked doors). Material (masks, veils, disguises, billowing curtains, suits of armour, tapestries). Textual (riddles, rumours, folklore, unreadable manuscripts and inscriptions, ellipses, broken texts, fragments, clotted language, polysyllabism, obscure dialect, inserted narratives, stories-within-stories). Spiritual (religious mystery, allegory and symbolism, Roman Catholic ritual, mysticism, freemasonry, magic and the occult, Satanism, witchcraft, summonings, damnation). Psychological (dreams, visions, hallucinations, drugs, sleep-walking, madness, split personalities, mistaken identities, doubles, derangement, ghostly presences, forgetfulness, death, hauntings).

Sweden curling set up a sting operation to catch Canada cheating i’m fucking losing it
-HowAboutNo- • 1h • Sweden That angle was pre-prepared by the Swedes. It's not a usual angle. The Canadians didn't know this angle existed. It's usually from the front where it's impossible to see a touch. The Swedes stated in the post-match interview that they made it into a big deal because the Canadians have done this before in other games. The refs never act and they wanted to force them to more actively rule the games. The Swedes can be heard during the game saying that "it's fine, Magnus is recording", refering to a guy from Swedish television operating the camera from that angle. This was pre-planned and expected. It's the reason why Oskar is so confident that it's on camera.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!
William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.

A friend would like to memorialize her beloved pet and needs certain linguistic assistance, probably from the type of people who excitedly shouted “look he’s got a jumja stick” while watching star fleet academy:

My favorite part of the GQ article is the author being like “holy shit these are POP STARS” when Hobi does some random singing during the photo shoot.

Hi #skystorians! A freshman in my History of Animals course wants to do research on the history of service animals. I would love some recommendations for secondary sources to get her started. Anybody working at the intersection of disability history and animal history?

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1
