Two people sit in a nearly empty auditorium. One looks into the camera. The other gazes into the distance. What has captured his attention? What lingers off camera, bewitching and/or bedeviling him? We may never know.

Nice.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I’m so vexed that I didn’t manage a perfect game today, but I got two different pangrams, and that feels like a win.

My Smush score for July 20, 2026, with 408 points.

This is a chocolate chunk cookie in a plastic sleeve. The label simply says “INGREDIENTS: Ravinia”

29 years with @airanw.bsky.social

Me and the fella in front of NaKorn, where we celebrated our anniversary.

I forget how clunky early iPhone cases were.

I stopped by the reflecting pool.

A blue plastic bowl full of slimy brown-green water.

My yard keeps producing five-leaf clovers. Are these mutant clovers, or was my house built over a radioactive waste dump?

A patch of clover. Two hands are holding three of the clovers, which have five leaves each.

There has been a birdicide.

My blue canary nightlight is broken. The plastic blue bird lies on its side on a counter, disconnected from the nightlight in the socket. There will be a reckoning.

Sebastian

Many years ago (maybe 1998?), I saw David Byrne perform in Denver, and I became obsessed with the idea of becoming one of his backup singers. Time passed, and I forgot that aspiration until tonight. David, is it too late for me? I’ll wear orange! Let me know if Hannah needs a sub.

David Byrne and three members of his band, wearing orange, perform on a stage that looks like the moon, with the Earth rising behind them.

Seeing Ravenswood Winds at The Green Mill, including the world premiere of @airanw.bsky.social’s Quantum Entanglement.

About to see @tmbg.bsky.social at The Vic in Chicago with @airanw.bsky.social

Airan and me standing in front of the Vic Theatre, about to see They Might Be Giants.

I look like I’m having so much fun out there. Like I’m dancing with the lawnmower. The Yardwork Tango. No wonder Sebastian is jealous.

A dog (Sebastian) in silhouette looks out a window and watches as a human (me) mows the lawn with an old-timey non-motorized spinny-blade lawnmower.

My favorite time of year

A cluster of lilac buds and blossoms in a blue mason jar.

Sup.

This is a close-up shot of a dog’s face. The dog is Violet. She is brown and black and white, and she is a very good girl.

Something some people like

Kelly Wright@omnikel· Mar 31

Working on something @airanw.bsky.social

Two people in an office/makeshift recording studio. I’m wearing headphones and standing in front of microphones. Airan is working on a laptop.

They really, really want to be friends with the chickens next door.

Two black/brown dogs (Violet and Sebastian) watching three chickens in an enclosure.

I traded my @jococruise.bsky.social lanyard for my @c2e2.bsky.social lanyard. I’m glad we made it home for the last day of C2E2, which was sort of a soft re-entry into the real world. But oh my stars I’m exhausted now. @airanw.bsky.social

Four people (my family and me!) standing in front of the entrance to C2E2, a large red arch that reads “Welcome to C2E2!”

Ozzy Osbourne did not leave this mortal plane; no. He has inhabited a new vessel, mild-mannered science fiction writer John Scalzi, who retains nothing of his former self but his Crocs. @scalzi.com @jococruise.bsky.social

This is the trophy you receive for winning first place in the JoCo Cruise Bananagrams tournament. It is also the trophy you get for winning second or third place. We don’t need to get hung up on where I finished. We can just acknowledge and appreciate that I HAVE A TROPHY. @jococruise.bsky.social

A photo of me wearing a large sun hat and sitting on the Lido deck with the ocean behind me. I am holding a small banana trophy that says “Top Banana Award.”

I saw a lot of tail today.

Taking a break from the world for a week.

A photo of about 3/4 of my face with the port of San Diego in the background. I’m on a cruise ship. At last.

Kelly Wright@omnikel· Mar 21

I think it’s trying to tell me something.

You can see my sandaled feet at the top of a staircase. Every step is yellow and gray and has the message “WATCH YOUR STEP”

Kelly Wright@omnikel· Mar 20

I am an adult.

Photo of me holding robot-made cotton candy at the San Diego Zoo.
