Good morning, all. A shimmering blue mist hovers above the ground in every little clearing. #bloomscrolling

A clearing in a pine forest filled with millions of blue mist penstemon flowers.

#WritersCoffeeClub 6/17—As a writer, how anonymous do you want to be?

Somewhat anonymous.

I use a pen name (the one you see above) for that reason, to a degree, but also because my real name is hard to pronounce (and type) for English-language speakers.

I really do not want to be recognized on the street, either, not that that is a problem for many authors.

On the other hand, it would be awesome if more people knew my author name and would buy my books. Ahem.

WhatsApp will start showing ads in the Status feature, ending its ad-free policy. Ads will use personalized targeting but won't affect personal chats for now.

No new contents for now, still busy with family matters :ablobgrimace: 🙏

A few flowers from the yard ...

Pale pink volunteer columbine faded but hanging in there.

Lavender blooms against a concert sidewalk. It releases its scent as we walk by it.

Miniature red roses just about to bloom. Sedumes in the background are extra tall with this springs rain.

Coreopsis: Sunburst.
A daisy shaped flower with cone shaped pale yellow and burgundy centered petals coming from a pollen filled center.

If you've followed me on here for a while, you'll know I'm a fan of Honkai Star Rail and other gachas. However, I've hit the critical mass where it's just not feasible to keep up with all the ones that interest me. In this blog I try to narrow down the list to something resembling what a sane person would play.

Hello, techhub and #Fediverse residents. I've been on Fedi for a good year or two, and am coming back after a decent break. I have many hobbies, namely tinkering with #Linux, computers, and other geek stuff. I like #gaming and #retro games too. I like #anime, #manga, and anything weeby. I particularly love #Tokusatsu and #Mecha, and other sorts of JP media. That's about it for now. I want to look into #selfhosting my own instance and services in the future, so I don't know how permanent this home will be, but I look forward to communicating with people all the same.
