UNIXy Guy. He/him. Prone to shouting "PUPPY" in public.

I frequently (almost every day, in fact) give away Kindle genre books using #KindleBookGiveaway hashtag, and wrote a feed named "Kindle Book Giveaway" -- but remember bsky has hashtags now!

@fatsam.bsky.social wrote this and it conveys my mood perfectly.
“The figure stood motionless for a long moment. Perhaps. Denice Castanaveras, I am – The scream of his rage and pain filled her ears. There was a word buried deep in the scream, or a Name, an incomprehensibility so huge that the suggestion of it overwhelmed Denice, filled her with terror and then broke her, and she found herself screaming against the great roaring sound, “Stop it! Stop it!”

Scotty is a bit stoned. If you look at his right eye, you can see the swelling in the upper eyelid. I drugged him because I'm going to be pressing a hot towel, inside a ziplock bag, to his eye for as long as he'll tolerate it.
Scotty, a sooooooper flooy tan&cream cat, is leaning agaisnt my chest with drug-sleepy eyes. His bottom half, and snout, are white, while his upper half is tabby-patterned tan. His eyes are red-gold. He has a pair of tan spots on either side of his nose, and a tan chin, giving him a goatee appearance.

Scotty likes showing off how much better he is at boxing than Tony.
Scotty, a super floooofy tan&cream cat, is curled up in a small amazon box. He fits entirely within it, and is looking up at the camera to ensure that the photographer captures this glorious act. Scotty's fur is tan on the top half of is body, with some slight tabby patternng. His snout, and underside of his body, are white. He has folded ears, and striking red-gold eyes. His fur looks like it is the softest fabric in the world, and it is.

Tony is very proud that he can fit into the tiny box.
Tony, a large voice cat, is sitting in a fairly small amazon box, looking up at the camera with green eyes.

Yeah this person doesn't deserve free books -- this response is to the idea of tattooing newborns with a unique identifier. Barcodes for babies! Also his account profile says "AI is mostly beneficial for humanity," so that's another strike.

PHEASANT BOB!
Photo of a driveway and a large grass lawn, with some birdfeeders on a pole, and a boy common pheasant -- named Pheasant Bob -- on the lawn. PB's colors are striking, with a white cap, green head, yellow-orange bill, white collar, red-brown breast, and mottled light & dark brown wings.

LOOK AT HER LITTLE MAGGIE FACE LOOK AT IT JUST LOOK I SAY
Maggie, a chaotically-patterned medium-furred tortoiseshell cat, is resting on my arm. Her face is slightly towards the camera, but not entirely. She has one long, white whisker. She is mostly black, with random splotches of red or white over her body.

I HAVE A GLAMOUR SHOT FOR YOU! SCOTTY AND TONY PRACTICING FOR OLYMPIC SYNCHRONIZED SLEEPING!
Tony, a large black cat with a blue collar, and scotty, a medium-sized super-floooooofy tan&cream cat, are laying in synchronized poses on a large bed. The sheet is bright red, and there are purple and blue blankets on the bed, along with a pillow in an off-white pillowcase, and some pillows in green pillow cases.

Scotty
Scotty, a super flooofy tan&cram cat with Scottish Fold ears, is half on my belly, looking very concerned. The top half of his body is slightly-tabby-patterned tan, and the bottom part of his body is white. He's got a white snout and nose.

Maggie
Maggie, a small, chaotically-patterned tortoiseshell cat, is resting on my arm. Because of the patterning on her eyes, she looks sad. She has a single white whisker. We are both on a brown chair, and I am wearing a blue shirt. There is a grey laptop, and a light-patterned pillow. Below Maggie, my arm, and the light-patterned pillow is a purple blanket.

This twit doesn't deserve free books, because how much of an asshole do you have to be to declare this about @scalzi.com? (As an aside: photos of the Scalzis are always delightful and heartwarming and they are both super gracious in person.)

A photo of Tony, a large void cat, but only a portion of him. He is sitting on stuff next to the chair. The wall behind him is a dark charcoal color, and there is a brightly-lit door in the background. Tony's false eyes are magnificent.

A closeup phot of Dusty, an elderly dilute tortoiseshell cat, resting on my belly. Her fur is mussed, and she has some blood on her nose (runny nose, and she paws at it with her claws).

Apple's Liquid Glass has gone way too fucking far:
A macOS authorization window on top of a Terminal window; the auth window is 100% transparent, making it impossible to read what it is saying, since the text is directly overlaid on the Terminal text. This is reproducible on reboot.
