Pipe cleaner? Overnight soak? Honestly if itβs that bad it might just be new feeder time. Iβd be worried too!
Itβs that time of year where the hummingbirds are fighting or fucking or most likely both. Theyβre emptying feeders every other day, the little bastards.
"Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'
Quite the headline from People.com

Kristi Noemβs firing is long overdue. She oversaw vile crimes against humanity and weβll never forget it.
But until ICE is abolished and expelled from our communities, we keep fighting.
Lawless federal agents kidnapping and killing people on our streets can never be normalized.
I hope journalists covering tech caught this. It was by far the most unexpected and newsworthy moment of the hearing today
I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.
You can call your Senators, too.
Find them here: reps.fyi
pretty sure no one voted for "the shield of the americas," impeach this stupid venal fuck today and every fucking day
if you are not demanding to know what the fuck "the shield of the americas" is and who the fuck is paying for it and why the fuck we need it when the defense budget is like a trillion dollars just quit please
Let me be clear: Iβm glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
Iβd take that meeting, no question!
President Donald Trump says he's replacing his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and will nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

Something Iβm still excited to get to say: Murder by Memory, the first Dorothy Gentleman novella, is eligible for the Hugos! Nominate as your heart moves you, and you have until the end of March! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
At this point it honestly feels like Jacob Tierney is aiming at the exact place I stand in the Venn diagram (Letterkenny + Heated Rivalry + the ancient world). Excited for when he starts doing something about jewel heists or shipwrecks or polar exploration or cephalopods.
This is really great. I tend to think of genre rules as the kind of rules games have. The limits create the drama. Sff: a game of what-if. And that makes litfic βthe game where you make up new rules every game.β
Hey amid all the hell, I added some new TRYING beanies to my shop. Now in addition to the original olive/orange there is maroon/orange and a limited edition safety green/blue. Get yours. shop.dansinker.com/collections/...
These folks need to hear from you yesterday π
Overwhelmed by tomes and doorstoppers? I wrote a MMF romantasy novella for people with extremely short attention spans. It also for people whoβd enjoy one brown FMC, one brown MMC, and a subby token white guy. π Check out Frostburn for $2.99.

βBlocking access to books does not change our history norβ¦who we are. It simply prevents readers from understanding the complexity and beauty of the world we live in.β
@maris.bsky.social on why we must stop bill HR 7661, which would ban books on sex & gender from public schools/libraries nationally
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
Same. Went to Disneyland as a kid, was traumatized by the Matterhorn.
Went back as an adult, rode it again thinking I would conquer my fears β but no that shit was TERRIFYING and worse RICKETY and I was right to be afraid! Never again!
A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime
WASHINGTON-Democrats criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's planned appearance at a political fundraiser next week for Rep. Zach Nunn (R., Iowa), saying the event is ill-timed given the war in Iran. Hegseth is scheduled to headline the "Top Gun"-themed event in Iowa for Nunn, who represents the district where four of the U.S. service members killed in Kuwait were stationed before deployment. The fundraiser βbilled in promotional materials as "Operation Top Nunn: A Salute to the Troops!" βcomes as Hegseth has publicly cautioned that more American casualties could follow. Hours before the Pentagon released the names of four of the six troops killed after the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, Nunn announced that the defense secretary would attend. Tickets for the event are priced as high as $3,500.
This one has so many perfectly American elements that it deserves to be in the time capsule about how stupid this era was.
Calvin and Hobbes is my source reference for a surprising amount of information (βthe Republican Party and Tammany Hall!β / βphalangesβ), itβs so educational!
Oh thatβs a GOOD one
Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.
I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.
Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.
Those are all so good! Gary Larson is an underrated literary influence on a lot of people, I suspect.
