And now the point where I remember I don't vote because they charge for that...

Eyes down for , lads.

And a great start with the lass from Israel coming out to a song where the chorus is “I don’t care”.

Astonishing.

Dear @rowyn,
I just finished The Princess, Her Dragon, and Their Prince. It was amazingly sweet. I adored the characters to bits and finished the story happy with the ending yet sad to leave. This is a great example of positive polyamorous representation and I will be reading the rest of your work.

Dear Everyone Else, buy this charming triad romance fantasy here:

Love, Andy

"I know it's hopelessly out of character," Vil said, "but I'm going to make some tea."

Vil is one of the leads in my novel. Sometimes I feel a lot of kinship for him. He's part ice elemental, runs a teashop, and enjoys working with kids. But then he'll start talking about how he enjoys cleaning because it helps him feel like he's in control of his environment and I'm all, "How am I qualified to write someone this different from me?"

“Sorry, and you’re from the consolidated what?”

“Consolidated union of Mousers, Templekeepers, Ship mascots and housecats. Mostly the latter these days to be honest. We are representing Princess Fluffykins in this matter.”

“The matter of morning lap time?”

“Yes, we’re told there has been a sudden and unannounced reduction.”

“Look, I have to be at work by seven, I love Fluffykins dearly but I can’t cuddle all day.”

“Ms Fluffykins said you used to leave at eight”

“Yes well it’s a really busy time at work and I’m trying to get more done.”

“Ms Fluffykins is prepared to renegotiate her compensation if an appropriate portion of your your overtime payments are recognized in kitty treats”

“Oh, I don’t get paid overtime”

“You should join a union”

@Unixbigot I felt compelled to read this out loud to my wife, who declared it delightful.

I feel like people forget you can cook fruit. Craving apple pie but don't want to go all out?

Lightly seer some peach slices in a little butter. Serve with your oatmeal. So fancy and yummy.

Is your curry boring? Do the same thing!

Put a little cooked fruit on it for a good time.

@futurebird
You're right. I should look for more opportunities for cooking fruit.

The most amazing dessert I ever had at a party was simply grilled peach halves with light spices and fresh whipped cream. I'm sure that would be astonishing with a wide range of breakfast foods.

And back when I ate pork, my favorite way to make it was to bake it under apple slices. People I made it for thought I had way more culinary skills than I do. Lol.

Chapter 2 is happy to be almost all new, although it would like to know where its fez is. Meanwhile, Chapter 3 is scared of change.

Mastodon is for people, who when they are called Weird, say Thank you.

@RickiTarr True story: Earlier today my child informed me, "Every day you fit in less and less with the other moms." I did, in fact, respond, "Thank you!"

Currently hanging with King Quacksly of Hedgiehaven.

His Majesty lives in my hot tub with his husband and co-ruler, Elvis, and their daughter Princess Unicorn. They're all pretty ducking cool.
