Huh. I'm not sure. It looks okay on my end?

You inspired me.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Frog & Toad by Arnold Lobel. Toad (a brown toad wearing a green jacket and pants) sits on a toadstool (ha) among green grass and reads Frog (a green frog wearing a brown jacket and striped pants) a book.

I adore this seeming-non-sequitor. Peter Rabbit was the 1st time I had heard of chamomile tea. As a kid, I thought it was made up for the book - a special tea for rabbits made w/ a real flower. I thought it was quite clever. I'm glad someone else had that association - Ursula K. Le Guin, even! 💙📚

Me holding the book Very Far Away from Anywhere Else by Ursula K. Le Guin. Cover depicts a young couple holding hamds while standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean.

Photo of a portion of a page from Very Far Away from Anywhere Else by Ursula K. Le Guin. It reads:

She was kind of floored. She said, "Would you like a glass of milk?"

"I just ate dinner."

"Chamomile tea," she said.

"Peter Rabbit," I said.

AND THEY LIVE UP TO THE NAME!

A puffling (aka baby puffin) being held in the palm of someone's hand. It looks like a black puffball with a white stomach. Fluffy poofy puffy.

My 11yo likes Rice Boy by @evandahm.bsky.social as demonstrated by their pizza plate.

A paper plate decorated with a blue marker. My 11yo wrote "meep" and drew characters from Rice Boy with labels saying who they are. The characters pictured are: Rice Boy, Spatch, Golgo, T.O.E., Cal, Olga, Tree Keeper, and Lil-Peep.

Coffee+bookstore date with my wife and I got these!

2 books on a table. On the left is a hardcover copy of Dodger by Terry Pratchett and on the right is a paperback copy of Bloodchild by Octavia E. Butler.

Pronouns are finally water bottle official! Plus 2 bonus stickers! Pronoun sticker + others all designed by Queer & Feral, but I don't think they have a bsky account...

Pronoun sticker on my waterbottle designed by Queer & Feral. Background of a large quantity of mushrooms with "they/she" in the foreground.

Sticker designed by Queer & Feral on my water bottle. Floral background, animal skull with mushrooms growing out of it in the foreground.

Goddamnit. I got too excited and pre-ordered the same book twice months apart...again. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Go read @nghivo.bsky.social's books! They're super good! 💙📚🪐📚🌈

Two copies of A Long and Speaking Silence by Nghi Vo - the latest book in the Singing Hills Cycle.

So, I know for a fact that it wasn't my first album (we're talking 200...2? So, freshman year of high school?), but the first one that made enough of an impact for my memory to take note is Relient K's Anatomy of Tongue in Cheek. Literally don't remember a single one before that. It was formative.

Album cover for Relient K's The Anatomy of Tongue in Cheek. White banner at top w/ orange letters for band name and album title. Then gray banner with white text with track listing next to color photos of band members. Main image is b&w photo of 4 young men (the band) leaning against a white wall.

I'm not really a gamer, but my favorite game is EASILY Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley. This past Mon, the 2nd one came out: Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth. Got to start playing today & it's everything I could have hoped for! If @hypergames.no could make these until the end of time, I'd appreciate it.

A calm scene of 2 friends (Snufkin and Moomintroll) contentedly sitting on a bridge over a river.

A winter scene of the same bridge in the previous picture. It's a night scene in winter. Snow is everywhere, the moon is glowing bright dead center and the northern lights are overhead. Moomin stands on the bridge, looking down at the river. Too-Ticky sits on thr bank, fishing. A hemulen looks happily at a small dog.

Really wish I could have made it bigger, but oh well...

A sign stuck on a lawn depicts Prince John from Disney's animated Robin Hood sucking his thumb. The caption has some music notes and reads: A POX ON THE PHONY KING OF E-E-ENGLAND!

Benjamin 🜬 (they/she)@enbyemu· Mar 28

Can't go to the No King's March tomorrow, but I'm going to find a place to display this in the yard somewhere. Not in solidarity, mind you, but just to show my appreciation of Disney's animated Robin Hood for no reason whatsoever. ;)

A good end to a bad day is coming home to a package full of personalized @oliviawaite.com books for meeeeeee! And an unexpected bonus chicken?? Fuck yeah, bonus chicken. Name for bonus chicken pending. Also, need to figure out if the music is a real song or not...hmmm... 💙📚🪐📚🌈

A pile of 4 books and a small metal (silver?) chicken sitting on a wooden desk. Books are The Hellion's Waltz, The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows, Nobody's Baby, and Hen Fever - all by Olivia Waite

Title pages for The Hellion's Waltz and The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows by Olivia Waite. Both say, "for Benjamin" and are signed by the author. THW has 3 bars of unidentified sheet music doodled in and TCaFoWW has a heart made of a beehive with little bees flying around.

Title pages for Nobody's Baby and the dedication page for Hen Fever by Olivia Waite. Both say, "for Benjamin" and are signed by the author. NB has a doodle of a tiny spaceship traveling the cosmos and HV has a doodle of a chicken. The metal chicken has been placed to look as if it is kissing the doodled chicken.

A metal chicken (silver? Maybe 2" high?) being held up in front of Van Gogh's almond blossoms.

Oh wait! I forgot I put my phone on "natural light" mode to reduce the strain on my eyes. Did much better when I switched to "vivid"!

Screenshot of my "[triangle]EokJND" results. Score: 0.0013. Screen says: "Okay, either you're a mantis shrimp in a trenchcoat or your display has a secret wide-gamut mode nobody told me about. Suspiciously impressive." There are two buttons that say "share result" and "Again. I can do better."

Benjamin 🜬 (they/she)@enbyemu· Mar 11

Oooh. This is fun. I bet I could do better if my screen didn't have images from my gps burned into it. 😆

Screenshot of my "[triangle]EokJND" results. Score: 0.0063. Screen says: "Better than most. You can see differences that half the population would swear don't exist. Your opinions about color palettes are now legally binding." There are two buttons that say "share result" and "Again. I can do better."

A photo of my 2 cats sitting in a window. One has a red circle around his head and a black arrow pointing to it with "Arsonist" in white text

Benjamin 🜬 (they/she)@enbyemu· Mar 9

Cats turned on the stove in the middle of the night and tried to burn the house down. I think I came up with a high tech solution.

A piece of cardboard taped over a stove control board that says, "ANTI-CAT-INATOR".

I have a Calvin & Hobbes for that!

Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes sitting in bed w/ a thermometer in his mouth and watching something on tv with kissing sound effects. He says, "Sometimes I think I learn more when I stay home from school."

Benjamin 🜬 (they/she)@enbyemu· Mar 5

I KNOW there are several Calvin & Hobbes strips I reference often, but now that you've asked, I can't think of a single one.

Are there 2 eggs now or is this my wishful thinking and that's just a feather in there or something?

A picture of the big bear bald eagle live cam with the time stamp 2026-03-03 12:17:31. The nest is devoid of eagles, but there seem to be 2 eggs resting there???

My 11yo asked about my Legend & Lattes series on my bookshelf. I gave a brief overview of the characters & story. They were immediately inspired to draw their own version & asked me to make sure @travisbaldree.bsky.social saw. My personal fav. is the one of Zyll, but they are all fantastic. 💙📚🪐📚🌈

An illustration by my 11yo in colored pencil of characters from Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. On the left is Tandri, a succubus with pink skin and purple hair, wearing an apron and carrying a tray with a cinnamon roll and a coffee mug. In the middle is Viv, an orc with green skin and black hair wearing a tank top and holding a kettle (coffee pot?) and a mug. On the right is Thimble, a ratkin with gray fur wearing an apron who is carying a tray with a cinnamon roll and mug of coffee on it - Thimble is a bit panicked because the items on the tray are almost spilling.

An illustration by my 11yo in colored pencil of characters from Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree. On the left is Viv, an orc with green skin and black hair, reading a book and leaning companionably against Potroast, a gryffon. On the right is Fern, a ratkin with brown fur and a red cloak writing on a paper with a quill.

An illustration by my 11yo in colored pencil of characters from Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree. Fern, a ratkin with brown fur and a red cloak, is writing on a piece of paper with a quill and using a brown horse named Bucket (who is lying down and sleeping) as a desk. In the bottom left is an elf named Asteryx, who is warily looking at a goblin named Zyll who appears to be feeding a demon chicken some...eyeballs...

An illustration by my 11yo in colored pencil of characters from Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree. On the left is Zyll, a small goblin with green skin and orange hair wearing a large coat made entirely out of pockets, is running with a bag of coins in one hand and a knife in the other with a look of mischievous glee on her face. On the right is Zyll's companion, labeled as a Death Chicken...which is probably the best description for it as well.

Audiobook-Rereading a childhood favorite: the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. Now on book 2: Mossflower. Ebook-Hat Trick: The Drop of a Hat by Luke Chmilenko & GD Penman (I was convinced to pick it up ages ago due to a post by one of the authors here on #booksky - finally getting around to it!)

The cover of Mossflower by Brian Jacques. An illustration in sepia tones depicts some anthropamorphized woodland creatures gathering around a tree with a door in the trunk in a snowy landscape.

Cover for Hat Trick: The Drop of a Hat by Luke Chmilenkp and GD Penman. The cover depicts a kobold wearing a blue wizard hat with silver stars on it backed up against a tree in a forest with a panicked expression on his face. Coming from off-screen to point at the kobold in a menacing circle are various weapons and comical objects: swords and spears, yes, but also a rubber chicken, an umbrella, a paintbrush, a skeleton arm, and a spatula. In the background, white rabbits laze about on a patch of grass.

⭐️ Pass along, let’s see your PFP in its full-sized glory! ⭐️

Selfie taken on NYE. A nonbinary transfeminine person with dark (slowly edging towards salt and pepper, but not enough salt to count as such yet), shoulder(ish)-length hair and a reddish-brown, well manicured beard is looking at the camera with a very slight close-lipped smile on their face. She wears sparkly brown eyeshadow, winged black eyeliner, a pinkish-reddish shirt, some necklaces, and a gray cardigan.

We also have a Winnie! So named by our then-very-young oldest child because her yellow lab fur reminded our kid of Winnie the Pooh.
