Thanks for all the birthday wishes! If you want to help celebrate my birthday, you can:
Tell me your favorite thing about my cat Fishy. Yes, I will read all of your comments to him. English is not his first language, but I believe he has a basic understanding of most of the words.
Subscribe to my Patreon so I can continue to write all the dumb silly things that I write.
Fishy, I like your expression, it feels like you're about to tell somebody off, and since you're not looking directly into the camera I feel safe that you're probably not going to tell ME off...
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
Upon finishing NORTH AMERICAN LAKE MONSTERS I sat, quietly devastated by the elegant, bleak prose that spooled out stories of souls broken by fate, circumstance, tragedy, &/or the random cruelties of others. Beautiful, savage, resonant. A "must-read" collection.

Thank you for this recommendation! I hadn't heard of this book but I've purchased it & downloaded it to to my phone & am now listening while fixing Sunday night dinner
after my 3.5-mile #run I went up into the back yard and pulled some #weeds between the #cherry and #apple#tree, and planted some of the gazillion little starter #plants my sister Cathy left with me during her recent visit.
Yay, Cathy! There will now be at least half as many strategically placed plants in my #garden beds as there are wild weeds! Still plenty of #natural growth for the local #bees, #birds & #butterflies
I'm retired & I still dream of that kind of fantasy life. One day, I'm going to retire from my retirement life & I'm going to REALLY spend my days just reading books & petting cats.
Maybe I'll open my own Sleepy Cat Books, but then I wouldn't be retired from retirement anymore....
Households that locked both ammunition and firearms had a 78% LOWER RISK of self inflicted firearm injuries among children and teenagers. #momsdemandaction#teens#safestorage
I owe you all the deepest and sincerest apology. It has been brought to my attention that my facts are enabling fascism and destroying democracy. I am especially sorry for the harmful facts stating that:
-Every month is National Potato Month.
-George W. Bush has a Foo Fighters tattoo on his back.
-Optimus Prime is the only heterosexual Transformer.
-The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New York City.
-Cher’s full name is Chernobyl.
I pray that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me.
Your level of skill or competence in those fields don't matter, and it certainly doesn't matter whether or not you've been paid to do them. You don't need to say you're an 'aspiring' anything - you are the thing.
It’s kind of interesting seeing reporters slag off Mastodon for having low interaction and not being good when they follow 4 people, have 20 followers, and wrote two messages.
I think people have forgotten what it’s like to join a new social network, since people have been tied to other ones for years.
I just said this exact thing to a friend who is still on The Former Site. TFS del like a small world at first, but little by little I learned how to engage with others, and create a presence of my own. I loved it, I had a lively account.
Mastodon is the same, the more I engage the more interesting the site is.
