Wonder if the book industry will be affected by the tariffs and counter increases/boycotts up here.
May be a shrewd move for me to stock up on some @scalzi and @lilithsaintcrow books.

@theropologist Ah, you know what? An email I got from ko-fi says you can do one-off payments with credit card but not monthly.
So maybe I'll just do an annual contribution by credit? Could solve the issue all around...
Thanks for the transparency with all the accounting info. Happy to be able to help pay some (ok... really small) bills. :)
All the best.

@theropologist Good morning!
Any chance you'll be opening up your ko-fi contributions to credit card? I don't use PayPal, particularly, but would like to throw you an extra couple of bucks a month to help keep the lights on.

The day I’m available to get some blog posts up and my monthly newsletter done is of course the day the dog is evidently needing extra snuggle time.
They’ll wait because he shouldn’t have to.

Elon will probably be having kids into his 80s, but that makes sense at least financially because he can afford all those little jackboots.

I’d consider getting a vasectomy, but then what if I win a billion dollar lottery in coming decades and catch the obscenely wealthy person crazy and decide it’s reasonable to father a child when I’m 80?

At my kid’s high school curling team’s practice while checking out music from metal bands I haven’t heard of to add more to my playlists.

The kiddo wanted to watch the original Teen Wolf last night and we discovered that it was only available on Crave, the one big streamer we don’t subscribe to.
Weird to spend hundreds of dollars a year on numerous steaming services and still be unable to see a 40-year-old movie because Oh, sorry, you don’t subscribe to one specific, right service for it.
I’m still not a fan of pirating, but man, I get it.

Lots of dog poop needing to be dodged on this morning's dog walk. Way more than I'm used to seeing, which is already excessive.
Much like I surmised a few years back with people who bag their dog's poop and then leave the bag out on the sidewalk/road/lawns/paths and probably sincerely get frustrated when no one picks those up, I'm curious if people who let their dogs poop and then don't pick it up ever get frustrated with how much dog poop is left around by others.
Like, it's objectively ridiculous, but I'd bet the house that those people exist, and some are in this very neighbourhood.

Our dog Radar was a bit wound up as we headed out for a walk this morning.
My wife is a teacher and had left a small stack of kids' work books on the bench by the door, and being a bit rangy, Radar gently took one with his teeth and dropped it and was starting to chew on it.
It was the first time I'd ever heard of a dog eating someone else's homework.

Hey #iphone users:
Any idea why most -- but not all -- of my contact profile pics would have disappeared recently? They're back to the round grey button image with the initials of the contact name.
The OS didn't update, that I know of, and even if it had... I mean... what?
Also, the inconsistency is weird to me: If there was a glitch that removed profile pics, weird, but at least I'd get it. But for something to affect a portion but not all of them? Why not all or none? 🤔
