I didn't manage to get a photo of it, but Novi made a valiant attempt to catch some of the vapor coming out of the humidifier.

I was the first Mastodon person to use #itsprettyhere that my server is showing me. But there are hits on Insta. From those, I conclude people find the following features pretty in a place (in order): water, mountains, the sky, trees, smiling women, snow, and unusual or very old buildings.

I could easily get six of those into one photo on a clear day without traveling more than a few miles from home. No idea how I'd convince the forest service to build an artistic building by my lake though.

I can see snow from my (temporary) house! (My living situation is complicated right now.) I love it!

Dear new opening passages, you made me cry! No, don't apologize. That's a good thing. I think you're going to do a MUCH better job of connecting with readers than your predecessors.

Me: Hello, Chapter 1. Thank you for coming. Have a seat.

Ch1: Um.

Me: So I'm looking over your achievements, Chapter 1. I wonder how you feel about them in relation to the book as a whole.

Ch1: I honestly don't know why I'm here.

Me: It is such a relief to hear you say that! I was thinking your content would be better presented in summary form in what is now Chapter 2.

Ch1: What? No, I meant I don't know why I'm in your office!

Me: Well, that is unfortunate, Chapter 1.

@Vordus RIGHT? That was my response when my offspring showed me the first game. It occurred to me that maybe it was social commentary on living in late stage capitalism, so I floated this towards him, but he was all, "Ugh, Mom! You think EVERYTHING is a commentary on late stage capitalism!" Apparently I was just supposed to play the game and not ask questions.

@paparatti Friday's rain cannot get here soon enough. And apparently the mountains might get snow this weekend? Because we're just not doing autumn this year I guess.

@Archimage@mastodon.technology lol. I love it. (I'd say maybe this person should consider becoming a Pittsburgh fan instead, but breaking up with the Phanatic is probably dangerous.)

In the course of the last half hour, we went from "I guess I can smell smoke if I'm thinking about it" to "I'm pretty sure opening the windows would set off the smoke alarm." The Pass I live on was spared the horrors #Seattle went through over the weekend, but I guess our luck just ran out.

@noelle I vividly remember my family's first VCR. And I remember how proud Youngling Me was of herself to figure out you could program them to record at a set time so you didn't have to be there to press the button. My parents had no clue that was even possible until I discovered the feature and they never really did learn how to do it. They weren't even old yet, just bad at tech.

Outline: ANDY! Are you listening?

Me: Oh! Sorry. No, I wasn't.

O: This scene isn't 1 we agreed on. Neither were the last 2.

Me: Sorry? Aren't they working?

O: I guess? But you're still in Act I and you've already deviated from our plans a LOT.

Me: You really should have mentioned that earlier.

O: I DID! You weren't listening!

Me: Right... Okay... Well, we'll just have to change our agreement. Let me finish this scene first.

O (muttering): I can't work like this.

@wordsmith I not only create characters for my dreams, I frequently create first person characters. So I'll be participating in my dream but I won't be me. I may not even be my waking gender, age, or species.
