On Thursday afternoon I was interviewed by Shaun (brindle) and Dotty (black/white) so they could check I would be able to serve them to the standard they require when their primary humans are away.

This weekend it's "days of open atelier" in Brandenburg country. We've visited the wonderful place of Silke Schmidt. It's quite magical #Uckermark
It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

Von dort fahren Züge bis Rom, Pisa, nach Tarquinia, Follonica, Siena oder Paganico oder der Bus an den Strand. Auch Regionalzüge, für die es ein günstiges 3- oder 5-Tagesticket gibt. Zurück fahren wir über La Spezia, Genua und ab Mailand per Nacht-Flixbus nach Bregenz. Der Weg ist unser Ziel.

They'll claim voter fraud (as always), find a way to push some swing state vote counts to the courts --> SCOTUS --> installation.
And even non-partisans will refer back to "all those polls over the past few months showed it was really cl…
Data modeling is hard!
The first photo, uploaded to #WikimediaCommons, is of a painting depicting a Philippines Historical Committee marker (shown in the second photo) that commemorates a public square that is named after a doctor.
The doctor, the plaza, and the marker all have #Wikidata

I have a longtime habit of abruptly making a flurry of clicking/popping sounds with my mouth as a way of expressing feelings, fulfilling a similar function to swearing, for example.
However, now that I'm going to college I've been struggling with occasionally starting to do this and then catching myself once I register what's happening. I can't tell if other people aren't bringing it up just to be nice, or really if my feelings of embarrassment are rational. What…
