Iggy Pop in DS9's Magnificent Ferengi. One of my all time favorite TV episodes.
Iggy Pop as a Vorta.

Saturday waffles, hmmm
🧇
Waffles cooking, a bowl, a brush and oil in a jar, a laptop and a delicate cup and saucer with black tea.

I thought there'd be a preview?

Anyway, I made one, idk

My feed lined up nicely this morning. Did you coordinate @saskajanet.bsky.social and @socalleslie.bsky.social 😂
Two skeets with pelican images. Janet Hill's text is "Clear the runway! American White Pelican landing #birds" SoCal Leslie's text is "Good morning. Brown pelican take off 🪶"

Once again heard peculiar noises and looked up to find the raven #birds 🪶
Looking up (way up) a totem pole with a raven perched on top. The sky is very blue with fluffy clouds at the bottom and wispy clouds at the top left. There are some leafy trees.

There's an oatmeal cafe that features savoury dishes, including ramen. Still parsing that!

A wet morning walk today ☔️ and I came across this. Beaver ftw!
A tree stump full of fresh beaver teeth marks. An ineffective guard mesh has been pulled down and circumnavigated. A second tree with a similar guard is on the right. Intact, for now.

Moar new leaves 💚
A branch with brand new leaves unfurling. A river in the background.

New leaf green is the best green.
A young tree and several branches with brand new leaves of a gorgeous lime green glowing in the sun. There is more greenery in the background and some power poles.

Lookit what I found!
Two patches of fuzzy purple crocus flowers in dead grass and pine needles. To the right is a rocky path down to a rock beach and a river. The river is a gorgeous glacier blue.

Tracks in snow tell interesting stories. I imagine this was a raven, hop, hop, hopping up the roof.
Snow on a roof with a line of prints up to the top. Two feet in parallel framed by wing marks! The tips of four to five feathers.

My @gailmyerscough.bsky.social Chrimbly cards are here!!
There's going to be a postal strike!
Solidarity but also Ah!
A package of cards wrapped in orange tissue paper with large white polka dots on a wood laminate table. The Gail Myerscough logo (black lettering with cats eye glasses) is on a sticker and also visible through the tissue paper.

If you see this pic, post a beach photo from your own gallery... but only if you have one handy, have time and feel like it ;)
A frosty sunny morning along a river. The forefront is a graded trail, frosted bushes frame left and right, then a snowy "beach" and a gently steaming river. The far bank has trees and bushes and hills.

Why is my handle, that I've had from the beginning, suddenly invalid?
I'm a bluesky elder!
My username Jane and a yellow warning triangle and the text Invalid Handle.

My @vanessagillings.bsky.social prints arrived! I love their serene calm.
Two prints: The Writer and The Tea Witch. A musk ox sits writing in a book. A person with their brown hair in a bun, points a wand at a cup of tea.

Some of my adventures today. Feeling a bit crispy now, hope my sunscreen held up.
A bag of First Peoples coffee and a bottle of Croft Pink port.

Waiting for an appointment, look at this vintage set they have for kids!
A tiny old school vinyl and metal table with two chairs. They're green and brown and adorable.

Mediocre picture of a very fine sun dog.
Rising sun with a lens flare and a sun dog, a faint ring around the sun with rainbow spot at the top and sides. The horizon is shadowed with outlines of buildings, utility & light poles and some trees on the left.

If you see this, you have to post a picture from your device without explaining it.
A fish with its nose just out of the water, causing faint ripples. It is mottled pale yellow, cream, and vivid orange with grey speckles. It has weird fleshy bits over its eyes. It looks side eyed at the camera, perhaps concerned the photographer might fall in. It is right to be concerned.

A bee!
A bumble bee with their head stuck in a pink flower. It's fireweed and the background is a fast moving greeny-blue river. The motion of the river is shown by faint Whitecaps.

Putting new sheets frome Homebird on the bed and spotted this label. THE most useful label ever.
The folded back seam of a white fitted sheet with a label saying LONG SIDE.

Because of reasons, I've just gotten my copy of @tkingfisher.bsky.social's latest. I am SO EXCITED and savouring the moment
A shiny, uncracked Paladin's Faith by T. Kingfisher on a green blanket. The cover has white text, green and slightly purpley stylized flames and design. In the middle is a hand reaching for a broken sword. Oh, and there are four little skulls with vertebrae and two white rats
