Trying to figure out how to clone some of the fruit trees in my yard, and every bit of terminology sounds ripped from a grimdark fantasy novel.
⚡️ PREPARE THE SCION.
🎸 THE GRAFTING METHOD.
🤘🏽 READY THE ROOTS.
I just want another apple tree, not trying to write a heavy metal album.

In light of the Unbound/Boundless situation (which I am not involved in) here’s a list of the warning signs the three times publishers did this to me. When you see it (no fault to the authors for sticking it out!) you may want to start preparing to sever the relationship.

The Unbound contract lists both non-payment and Unbound becoming insolvent as events that trigger rights reversion.
Anyone who needs an assist with this, please let them know that they can email [email protected] and I'll give them the rundown on how to do it.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

Continuing the theme of insect rescue - this little dude somehow got stuck between the glass and fly screen. Literally throwing hands when I came over with my speaker on (maybe he wasn't a Sleep Token fan 🤷🏻♀️). Successfully rehomed in the garden 🌿

My @criticalrole.bsky.social watching history has been very chaotic. Started on C2, did C1, & now I've been doing all the oneshots, EXU, & reunions before I start C3 (my DM is my CR guide for optimal watch order without accidental spoilers). 1/2

After the meal, there were barley scones, Guosim cheese, and crusty rye bread for those still wanting to nibble.

Listening to our blackbirds is one of my favourite things in the garden ♥️ (Admittedly, the other dominant voices are the cockatoos, which frankly make it feel like Jurassic Park. Different vibes entirely.)
Next in our line-up dawn chorus singers come the Blackbirds.
Carefree, rich, fluted notes, drifting through the trees just as the light grows.
A sound loved by many...have you heard one singing this week?

The women’s health initiative has followed tens of thousands of women for more than 30 years and provided invaluable information on topics like hormone replacement and cancer.
Jay Bhattacharya cutting this program will not only hurt women, it’s also just a colossal waste to lose such an investment.

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history
It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women

I used to love when my blackbird and robin foremen came along to check on things when I was gardening in St Andrews 😍🌱
My lunchtime was digging a trench to plant asparagus crowns
Foreman Bert literally supervised every movement of the spade, sometimes even bouncing around my legs to bravely pull away any worm that was in danger from the downward movements
Proper teamwork with lunch thrown in
