My preferred client app for the Micro.blog service. It’s always improving, and is even open source.

The Micro.blog challenge this week is artwork and drawings. I will share some of my building drawings, done in Linea Sketch on my iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. Today, some early chicken coop concepts. 🎨 #mbmay

I had thought -- I had been told -- that a 'funny' thing is a thing of goodness. It isn't. Not ever is it funny to the person it happens to. The goodness is in the laughing. ... it is a bravery -- and a sharing -- against pain and sorrow and defeat.

I included a GIF of this at the end of the Caturday post, but here’s a video edition of it. Thanks to Camect for generating the summary. 🐈

Delusions are often functional. A mother's opinions about her children's beauty, intelligence, goodness, et cetera ad nauseam, keep her from drowning them at birth.
