Team Oyster mushroom, as well! 🍄

Did you know we're all placed onto different Bluesky servers, and they're named after mushrooms??

You can find out what mushroom server you're on by looking yourself up on Clearsky clearsky.app

I'm team oyster mushroom. 🦪🍄

Glad you're feeling some relief. Migraines are no joke.

Maneuver. I can never spell it correctly on the first try, be it the American or the British/Canadian/Australian/literally anywhere that speaks English other than the USA version.

Occasionally is also one of my nemeses.

Occasionally I can be persuaded to write something weird.

Three of the words that always spell wrong even when I am thinking about them. What about you? Do you have words that catch you out?

Does anyone know why a restaurant's page on #DoorDash will show a .99 delivery fee, but when you order and get to the check out page the delivery fee (ONLY the delivery fee, not the taxes, fees, and tip) jumps up to 3.49? The internet has not yielded any answers thus far. 😭

I'm from a part of Ohio that has a town called Oregon which is not pronounced like the state of Oregon. Also, Louisville. Spokane.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 2d

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Please order one. I have and I need it so badly! Please back this project!

Rest well. I hope you feel better quickly.

I have finally reached the furthest point I’ve previously read in the book I started eight times since 2022 (life made me put it down each time). I’m so happy now everything will be new to me! 🎉

I find I’m able to keep a good momentum if I get stuck or frustrated on one project if there’s another else I can switch to for a bit. Is that how it works for you, too?

Good evening! I'm Mariel and as I'm trying to get back in the habit of writing regularly, I've opted to work on several fiction projects. I'm just trying to write at least every other day and get out 30,000 words.

Cleo is very interested in our little visitor.

#CleoTheLeo #cat #cats #CatsOfBluesky #torbie #torbies #chat #gato #Кошка #ねこ #猫 #고양이

The back of a torbie cat’s head. She is peering out a window at a small, dark green lizard (an anole, perhaps) that is chilling between the window pane and the screen. It is not trapped. There is a small hole it can move through to get out (not pictured).
