What I am really appreciating about Pixelfed is that it’s a great place for seeing excellent #photography, with no—hold on to your hats—ads (and no Zuck). Compare that to Trashstagram…

What it doesn’t have as much of yet is engagement, so if you like photography give it a try! And me a follow 😉

Post a book quote that you love. #booksky #bookchallenge #writers #authors #readers #booklovers
Illustration of a dark haired man wearing Regency Era dress. The style of the illustration is that commonly used for book covers and move posters in the early decades of the 20th century. Overlaid on it near the bottom is the text “He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.” This quote is attributed to the author Rafael Sabatini and is the opening sentence of his novel Scaramouche.

Since 2025 is the year of giving made up awards, I present to you, The Peabody Award. I feel that I am entirely qualified to create and bestow this award based on the accident of birth that gave me the Peabody surname. So if you’d like it, let’s talk.
Illustration of a round, bronze medallion, with a carving of a crow in the center. Below it is the text “The Peabody Award”.

No surprises here, I think. @pjfabulous.itch.io, @enicolaou.bsky.social, and @wrubyslippers.bsky.social are my most interacted with. “Wrexham” is my most used word. The Welsh flag my most used emoji.

MD-1 and @ibabao.bsky.social and I are ready to Go! Can you believe the ridiculous shit I get paid to do at work? 🤣

C’mon you Red Dragons, I hear some of that North End mutton tastes GOOOOOOD!!!

What started as a perfectly normal photograph of two retail employees excitedly looking ahead to their club playing a match tomorrow has morphed, through the agency of silly software tools, and into something much, much different. Offered here for you enjoyment and with our apologies…

A few photos from Wednesday, when I took a trip out to the Kitsap Peninsula to visit a small park and mostly just get out of the house for a little while.

I could not make this stuff up! 🤣

The fact that I listened to a particular heavy metal artist for 666 minutes in 2025 is epic.

Anyone else have a good one from this year?

Self-portrait.

Stylized color, self-portrait photograph, depicting a man in a traditional, tartan kilt, all the accoutrements, a buffalo plaid wool shirt, Akubra hat, boots, and bulky leg warmers. The brim of his hat draws a dramatic line of shadows across his eyes.

What a miserable, hateful person. Were I a nice person I would wish for her to experience a change in heart. Since I’m not, I will wish that she experiences the sort of punishment she so seems to relish.

Good morning Wrexham fam and Thirsties! Weird one for me since I’ll need to finish getting dressed and then leave for work half way through the second half.

Let’s go you Red Dragons! Up the Town!

When the utility company is working on your building’s meters and turn off the power, but you NEED tea, it’s good that you have other means of boiling water.

A little evening of boot maintenance.

The boots? Nicks in Buck Brown Double Stuffed veg tan from Wickett & Craig. The product? Smiths All Natural Leather Balm.

Starting on this new book today, beyond eager to see what @colinwoodard.bsky.social has to say about the state of the federation. Last night I finished the latest book by @scalzi.com, proving once again that he can make me feel like few other authors.

I’m sitting outside on my patio, with my fire, listening to the wind in the trees and the sounding of my chimes. The weather is changing. The atmosphere moving. By tomorrow we’ll again have rain. But for tonight I can sit out here dry, with my fire and my chimes.

MD-1 and sitting outside of work on my “lunch” break. Am I—perhaps—kitted and kilted? Why, YES I AM. Very much looking forward to see our lads take the pitch tomorrow against those some other team whose name I shan’t be bothered to recall.

Photograph of a Wrexham fan with his team scarf wrapped tightly around his face, his blue eyes sparkling with mirth above that red, white, and black knit fabric. Photograph of that same, Wrexham fan, using a low angle to show that his scarf is being worn above his kilt. And if that kilt should show a saucy bit of knee and leg? You’re welcome.

Trip to Costco on a Saturday(😬) to buy 30 pounds of peanuts to feed my crows? Yes. Worth it? Yes. Buying this same amount from the grocery store would cost twice as much.

A couple iPhone pictures from an early evening photo class I co-led yesterday evening, and a picture of my newest, cute little silver lens (the one on the right). It’s a 28mm 1.4, completely manual prime.

On my first break at work today I had to go to the grocery store to buy more peanuts, to feed the crows that followed me to the grocery store, and waited outside for me. Between that break and my lunch I fed them about 22-ounces of peanuts.
