What’s the Bluesky equivalent of a latergram? An afterskeet? Anyway enjoy this picture of my breakfast from naked bean this morning.

Manages to grab a couple of northern light photos. Thanks to all the outdoor lights here my phone actually sees them better than I do!
Pink Northern lights above a garage roof and two tall pine trees. Pink and green northern lights.

Didn’t get around to posting these last night, so here you go today! Happy day-after-Halloween 😊
A closeup of a black tie, white collar, grey vest and black jacket. The person is also wearing two necklaces—a black filigree cross and a silver chain with two rings. A woman with long dark-blonde hair and black glasses looks to the left of frame. There is a large black pentagram temporary tattoo centred on her upper chest. A woman wearing a hooded black cloak and gold-frame glasses looks directly at the camera. There is a large black pentagram temporary tattoo on her upper chest. She holds a black mug shaped like a cauldron. A deck of gilt-edge tarot cards with a Skelton key on top sits in front of a decorative skull they lights in the eyes, a decorative bird skull, and two candles.

Darcy’s Adventures in Mixology: whiskey, sparkling espresso, homemade pumpkin spice simple syrup, sweet spiced cold foam, a sprinkling of coarse kosher salt.

Now, what should I call it??

Oh fuck off, Junior. I’m not in the mood.
A mailer from Junior Rookie MP Michael Kram titled “Jail not bail: stop the revolving door on crime” that, among other things, accuses the Liberals of “cuddling up to criminals.”

So how do YOU remind your 3am-half-awake self that your toilet doesn’t work?
A white toilet wrapped in decorative orange and black Halloween caution tape that reads “dead end” punctuated with skulls and crossbones.

Yeah.

I learned SO MUCH from the early internet. Message boards and forums were FULL of deep, nuanced dicussions and people eager to share their knowledge.

I managed to reconnect with SO many people i thought I’d lost forever thanks to early social media.

And now SO much of it is just…trash.
From Xennials community on Reddit arahir • i just can't convey the frustration and sorrow that it's been to grow up at first without the internet and then watching it bloom into this useful, fun, connecting force you sometimes spent time on, only for it to degrade into this constant oppressive waste of time and energy where people are constantly pumping out algorithmically designed content for max algorithmic appeal and even the most simple search generates either no results or an infinite abyss of ai generated slop none of which is usable or correct. we briefly had a library of alexandria and then fed it into a paper shredder so advertisers could sell a random mash of pulp back to us at a premium.

Bookmark crafting at home in honour of the Silent Book Club event I had to miss.

Had a great time visiting All Hallow’s Con at Vic Square today. Even if I did have to veto an underage tattoo 😄

Found this little oracle deck which seems perfect for the season. Maybe it will help me finally learn the meanings of the rune set a friend made for me, ages ago.

Don’t know if I’ve ever felt this so much.

I am taking none of these quotes, nor this sentiment, seriously until these goddamn whiners tell me who they voted for 🙃

“Innocent bystanders,” indeed.
A quote from a 13 Oct 2025 CNN article, “Canada’s ‘boycott America’ movement is hurting innocent bystanders.” ‘Virginia Distillery is hardly the only American business caught in the middle of the rocky US-Canada relationship. "This was all about some ugliness that we're not part of," Moore said. "We're not in politics. We're just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we're the victims.”’

We hit up the Prairie Rock and Gem Society’s annual show today. Might have bought a little more than anticipated. Sophia even won a door prize!
Two crystal spheres—one fluorite, one Turkish agate—sit on stands on a glass table behind a rod of fluorite, two small jars filled with lapis lazuli and sunstone, two polished cowrie shells, a mall polished rock, and an abalone ring.

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

@chucktingle.bsky.social’s books are usually a bit of a trip but I can now confirm this one is a bigger trip than most. In more ways than one. You should read it 📚💙 #BookSky

Can someone tell me why everyone with any kind of online journaling/writing/hand lettering presence seems to hold their pens like this? Because this seems to be one of the worst, most pain-promoting ways you could hold a pen.
A hand holds a pink fountain pen as if to write. The pen is held awkwardly, with the thumb wrapped around the pen and over all the fingers.

@yasminqureshi.bsky.social and @sunsetcrest.bsky.social: because you asked. The $1.29 fountain pen in action 😊
A page in a coil notebook with a handwritten message: “Good Afternoon, Bluesky! Here is an example of the $1.29 fountain pen. It feels flimsy, but writes well IMO. Now, to find a theme for the journal!”

Do we still post what we eat around here?

Anyway here’s breakfast.
