Kilham Bear Center near Lyme, NH is a rehab & release program for orphaned or abandoned black bear cubs & once a year, their FB feed becomes a joyous cele-bear-ation of the APPLE PILE, a combination of ball pit & all-you-can-eat buffet for young bears to gorge & fatten on.

Love Josh Johnson, I think he's really on to something here. youtube.com/shorts/npl8b...

John Wiswell’s @wiswell.bsky.social books are all wildly inventive, compassionate, and crip and queer forward. “The Dragon Has Some Complaints” is all this plus it turns the dragon rider academy trope completely askew. You need some Garrodigh the Great Terror in your life. Complaints and all.

The “Don’t promise us a good time” democrats.

Just finished the new Becky Chambers #book and AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. Anyway read it and I can’t believe I have to wait for the next one.

If you are in the mood for a feel-good sisterhood best friend movie about exceedingly pretty people doing competitive inter-collegiate Bollywood dancing, I highly recommend "Best of the Best."

AMAZING

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

This is a very fun read

i suppose i should give update on TXLA (texas library association) situation after they rescinded their invitation over my physical presentation. when story blew up they immediately apologized and reinvited me, i said 'no thank you this year but next year would be great.' there was a reason for this

Just finished “The Isle in the Silver Sea” by Tasha Suri @tashasuri.bsky.social It is about immigration, assimilation, how stories create culture, and vice versa. It is also a grumpy / gremlin reincarnation sapphic romance and it has knights and witches and The Best Cat named Maleficium.

“Bodies of Magic,” the new @freyamarske.bsky.social Freya Marske #book is Magical Medical School Murder Mystery Friend Group with a Little Queer Longing as a Treat. It’s got lots of competence, snark, and puzzles. Plus some anti-capitalism and pro-unionism. I will definitely read it again soon.

Apparently the commander of the International Space Station brought her dancing pants to space with her

New Darcie Little Badger!

How sad is it that potential annihilation might be avoided because it's not profitable?

A new Donyae Coles book! He’ll yeah! @okokno.bsky.social

So, it’s not a conspiracy, and you are not imagining it. The biggest and wealthiest tech leaders are genuine fascists. They are leading an active and intentional systematic attack on labor. And they have radicalized each other while sidelining or removing the remaining decent execs in the industry.

Truthiness.

Mr. Norrell: Years did I study, reading obsessively and cultivating my great library in the hope that one day I'd rewrite English magic in my own image and on right virtue. Jonathan Strange: So a man under a hedge sold me 3 spells to duck a vagrancy arrest, and I was trying to impress this girl.

Y’all I know a lot of things are real bad right now, but here’s one of them

Honey is great, but have we really tasted every kind of slime that bugs make? We could be missing out on something.

YES. I have a whole rant about how she started out writing an entirely different genre than she ended up in, and the problem was she didn't do it deliberately and didn't even notice the shift

My company, BBI Engineering, was responsible for the AV Integration at the Obama Presidential Center Museum, and I had the honor of attending the opening ceremony yesterday. It was a peak career and life experience. Great speeches and epic performances. I’m still smiling.

once again the Guardian is showing U.S. editors what an accurate headline looks like www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

We have no idea just how far behind the United States will be in 2028. We'll have nothing: no national science infrastructure, no agricultural progress, no medical progress. The oligarch class has decided to hollow America out in a hedge fund takeover. We are being robbed of our future.
