Lots of echo chamber discourse. So. A 🧵

The echoes in my chamber:

* Equality, regardless of race, creed, orientation, sex, gender, etc.
* LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.
* Woman have the right to control their own bodies.
* There's no such thing as an illegal.

Daily bunny no.3109's seafaring days are behind him
A bunny, dressed like a sea captain, smokes a pipe as he sits on the roof of his tavern in a town by the sea. The tavern is called "The Birb & Bun", and there are a few seagulls on the roof with him, relaxing. At the entrance to the tavern, younger sailor bunnies are on shore leave.

I thought I recognized it. Read it back in the early ‘70s and remember being amused by it.

Goodnight from Warlewaste Hall, haunted by all the lives casually snuffed out to provide the taxidermy trophies hanging on its walls. Goodnight from Britannia Habard, sitting on the steps of her caravan and smoking an extra pipe for purposes of tephramancy. Goodnight from Hookland.

For Death is just a nap, I think.
A pause, breathe out, a little blink.
Then back again to light of day,
To smile, and laugh, dance on our way.

The world turns and we move away,
Yet the sun is there, and still makes day.
There are eras left of warmth and light.
So we just need to pass through Night.

It Does Not End by S. Bilodeau (20181015)

You see the sunset of your life?
Portents are there, the air is rife?
Please do remember this, my friend,
While the sun sets, it does not end.

Today's word is GOLD. Today's quote from the e-collection SWAN'S BRAID AND OTHER TALES OF TERIZAN. It seemed like the logical choice. Terizan is, after all, a thief, & she's fond of gold. Very fond. Maybe a little too fond. Dangerously fond...

Available digitally worldwide. Shop indie if you can.
Digital cover of Swan's Braid in the lower left over a spill of gold coins taken from that cover. Vaguely Middle Eastern buildings in the background. The stairs broadened as they descended. Level ground was a six foot wide corridor, tile not stone and judging from the small section they could see, probably beautiful. "No turns," Terizan murmured. "How can you tell?" "The way the sound travels. Stay close." She'd counted forty-nine paces when something up ahead reflected back a glimmer of light. "Gold." "That's it then." As Jameel surged past her, she heard a tiny click. Sweeping his feet out from under him, she got him flat on the floor just in time.

Daily bunny no.3108 will grow into a beautiful butterfly
A very small bunny munches on a leaf, like a bug or caterpillar. The leaf is the same size as the bunny, and the bunny is beneath a flower in someone's yard or garden. It is a warm autumn day

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 21h
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is sitting at his hobby desk with paint jars, paper, unpainted miniatures and other painting paraphernalia set around himself. Blue: I'm going to paint some miniatures. Green, unseen in the background: Okay! Picking up a miniature, Blue goes deep into focus, gently brushing the figurine with a paint brush, making a soft, quiet little "shup" sound every time. Looking up from his work, Blue turns to listen as Green interrupts his work to say something. Green: I like the little sound that your brush makes when you paint. Blue lowers the miniature, looking at it with a frown. Blue: Well now I'm too self-conscious about that to finish this. Green: Aw.

I couldn't pick a single favorite book, but I just discovered The Murderbot Diaries this year, and read all of them back to back in like six days, so that's my favorite read for the year so far.
