Fifteen years ago I felt pretty embarrassed pronouncing a word wrong, but now I’m just boasting like “oh yeah I guess I only know that one from READING it in a BOOK”

I feel like iOS’s autocorrect has gotten stupider: frequently suggesting or inserting very uncommon words, like—just now—“anthrax” when I was trying to type “anything”.

I really want to get a burrito, but that would require bundling up the baby for the snow and wind, and neither of us wants to deal with all that. ☹️

No idea why the SiriusXM radio in my car got reactivated, but I am definitely not complaining. The baby is going to know all the 1st Wave jams soon enough.

I love browsing my local indie bookstore and seeing copies of a niche book I’d ordered from them on their shelves ☺️
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

There are flurries? But it’s 57° (13C) out???

I’m used to seeing snow at ~40° (4C), but this is bizarre. Lake effect is wild.

Finished reading Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social

Beautiful art; great use of differing color palettes. The story is sad, creepy, loving, hopeful; presents a refreshingly compassionate view of mental illness.

Reading this while holding my sleeping infant son made it hit all the harder. 💛

Just saw a fireball over the Niagara area. Bright white, heading directly away from me, so seemed to go straight down.
Unfortunately, it was through a window, so I couldn’t see the beginning or end of it. But, on the amsmeteor site, there are several reports of the same one, which is neat.
