Took Wallace (white fluffy) to the vet yesterday. His second visit since joining us last November. No growling at the vet. Got X-rays and was generally manhandled without a fuss.
Still snooty about treats so those were picked up to be brought home for Paco (mostly gray brindle).
Seeing Mr. Beast on 'Shark Tank' and I'm like, "Welp never watching that show again." but also kinda "I wanna see that idiot try to sound like someone who understands business and looks stupid doing it."
But I won't because F that and F him (and F mr. Wonderful or whatever his stupid nickname is)
OK. This is cool. Keeping this open in a tab until they’re back.
Selling books ain't easy. Reading slips more and more every year.
I'm part of a large sale chock full of great stuff (I've grabbed a lot for myself). Whether you're the reader or know one. We'd all appreciate your taking a look and sharing this sale.

Had a really good meeting with some of the CO Authors League folks. Re-starting our work on the Denver Festival of Books!
Looking like Spring 2027 will be our inaugural event!
I get it. You're a slithereen or rufflepuff or whatever. HP is a massive cultural icon. But his creator is a horrible monster. You own the books and movies, great, enjoy those, you've already purchased.
Supporting this new thing. That's an endorsement of her evil. Same as buying a cybertruck was an endorsement of Musk.
Go find someone creating things that aren't evil to support.
Good. Now just keep winding down until you're gone.
LOL well yeah.

No one likes the lying theft machine that hurts the environment just to make shit up. Go figure.
Just posted my ‘what am I reading’ post over my on my Patreon. These are public so if you’re curious what’s on my Kobo right now, take a look!
Guess they'll just lean into the whole "When there's a lot of Republican's in one place our servers overheat" thing.
LOL. The Nebula voting packet is 95% PDFs.
Fuck that noise. I’m not struggling through reading a PDF on a device that I normally read on (it would have to be my iPad).
Nor am I inclined to try some janky conversion to EPUB.
The internet really has broke our brains.
People in writing forums “Can I write/do this?” EVERY DAY.
People in reading forums “SHould I start with X or Y? Is this book ok?”
People in Ereader forums “Should I buy X or Y?”
I get getting input, but christ. Is no one capable of just acting without?
hey #denver friends. Want a free tree?

We got two (Bur Oaks) for our tree lawn. Love em. Hopefully we’re still here when they’re mature and adding to the street’s canopy.
Super awesome program! Check it out.
“Sora is dead. May the memory of its four-month existence as a copyright infringement machine that was also used to make videos of men strangling women and ICE arresting undocumented immigrants be a blessing. “

RE: @arstechnica@mastodon.social
John confirms he'll stop using Apple Maps ‘This summer'
because fuck Apple. Apple is rich. They don’t need more ad revenue. Fuck Tim Apple. Steve would be so disappointed.
Fuck enshitifican.
@benbrown 1. I see you brother of 90s comics. 2. I despise that this will inevitably lead to more muggings. "I don't know why I was robbed! I had $2000 worth of Apple gear hanging from a string in plain sight. But still…”
Tried to watch the Golden Axe cartoon. Not feeling it. Felt like it was trying really hard to be Vox Machina
Latest “What I am I reading” just went up (A day early) over on my Patreon.
Gave up on a Non-Fic and not sure I’ll be on team Dresden or not.
