This is Ziggy. He is a senior dog who is often mistaken for a puppy. Will drop his skincare routine if you drop part of your sandwich. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

a fuzzy little black and brown pup in a teal harness poses on a sidewalk mid-prance. his front left leg is lifted like he’s about to frolic your way, and his fluffy tail is up proudly. he has a very young-looking face, and he’s pretty small, so he definitely gives off puppy vibes.

Fun fact: writers don't 'finish' books, we just eventually stop editing before we spiral into madness.

continued from above.

my kids started using the phrase and it became a comfort and common saying in our home.

everyone should be safe to like what they like, you do not have to change we do not have to fight

Here is my motivation, but I want to know, Why did you write your story?

let's collect our journeys and stories

#booksky #indieauthor #indie #book #childrensbooks #kidsbooks #why #youlikewhatyoulike

one day my youngest came home in tears.

bullied for enjoying things outside the stereotypical norm

we talked about what was said and how words can hurt us.

we talked about how we should be safe to celebrate what we like and what we love l.

A rhyme popped into my head to help us remember, to help us accept ourselves and others.

You like what you like, and that is all right!

I am very happy to hear this. I left insta during lights out and haven't been back, but it's hard sometimes to stick to your guns. This gives me some hope and makes it a little easier to avoid the temptation of returning to the easy and unsafespaces of insta.

Boots' face very much is asking if you think this is some kind of joke.

Schitts Creek was very good, my son and I watch old sitcoms before bed, he really enjoyed How I Met Your Mother, and My Name Is Earl, he couldn't get into The Office or Parks and Rec, maybe we should try The Good Place next.

I don't know how to bluesky very well, I tried clicking on your post a million times to see if I could read the comments to see if it was already asked but no luck, I'd just like to know what is NGV?

Aquaponics, the whole idea is just fascinating, a balance of food and beauty. I dream of a time when homes have these little functional and decorative ponds or tanks inside. But who cares what the trolls think? You like what you like, and that is all right!

thanks for sharing, I would have never found this article without your share, and it makes such great sense. Slower traffic, more time to react, fewer injuries, deaths, and property damage.

Here in Victoria most local speed limits are being reduced to 30kph. Inevitably the speed-addicted & pro-car crowds complain and say it won’t improve safety. This research suggests it will: collisions in one year fell by 40% with 39% fewer casualties and 23% fewer deaths. A no-brainer really.

20mph speed limits do save lives, and most road users respond to them well, study suggests

While debates over lowering speed limits on UK roads continue apace, studies show that they do make our neighbourhoods safer and more pleasant to live in.

I am so bad at spelling. I am constantly confusing art for higher learning.

Generally, I don't know that I always look for growth, but I'm a fan of characters who move, up or down, success or failure, I like to read about that experience. It could be an interesting read, a character that magoo'd through the whole story, no growth, just readers edging, is that a thing?

I've creeped on imgur and Instagram, Twitter briefly but mostly just to catch jokes before the last few years kinda dried up all the funny

ryanmarrbooks @ryanmarrbooks.bsky.social · Sep 22

haha, my pleasure, I've been a part of a few different social networks and never had an actual conversation, so i was happy to be a part if it.

Let the Kids Get Weird: The Adult Problem With Children’s Books

Picture books must hitch a ride on the parent if a child is to get a look-in so the children’s publicity machine is tilted fully at the adults. The frontlist is built around celebrities children ha�...
