Happy Pie Day!

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony...

Eating too much pie is okay. (The sin of pie is always zero...)

Hat tip: Robert Woodman for original version of the joke.

Apparently Amazon (via Goodreads) considers identity theft to be no big deal. Jane Friedman found a lot of AI-generated garbage listed on her author page and had a lot of trouble getting them removed. Here's her summary of what to do about it.

A #Barbie #pun for today's #dadjoke now that the #movie has come out. Been sitting on this one for a while...

I didn't know this about Bill despite having #run with him over the past decade and talking him into joining the #RaceDirector team for my largest #RoadRace last year.

His #branding is awesome, the envelopes he delivers his #poems in is the same color as his typewriter with a stamp to match.

At the 2nd Friday #ArtWalk in #Brunswick #Maine I discovered a #poet that will write you a #poem for a prompt (and a Lincoln) and type it out on a #typewriter. We bought two! You can find him on Instagram at: @auspicious_citrus

Really, really, really still trying to find My People here on Mastodon. Am I on the wrong server or something? I'm a self-employed #artist / #maker / #writer ... I make #ceramics ( #pottery )... dye #yarn ... #knit ... read #sciencefiction ... have two #dogs and eleven #cats ... am a recent #widow who loves to talk about what a wild ride #grief is ... and I'm a #Floridian scared shitless for my #BiPOC and #lgbtqia friends and family. Is that enough tags? Hello? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Fun afternoon/evening with the kids at #PophamBeach yesterday. Discovered Spinney's Restaurant so we didn't have to figure out what to make for dinner when we got home.
