LOL. Tweesecake is working again. I have no idea how long this will last.

You would think that the cops have more important things to do than traumatize a little girl and bring a goat back to be slaughtered. But no, they just enjoy flexing their muscles. latimes.com/california/story…

A 9-year-old girl didn't want her goat slaughtered. California fair officials sent deputies after it

Jessica Long's 9-year-old didn't want her goat, Cedar, to be slaughtered at the county fair. Officials sent deputies with a search warrant to get it back.

Some friends have said that their third party accessible Twitter clients aren't working anymore. Tweesecake is still working for me. Are the other blind-friendly Twitter clients failing?

All right, there probably won't be many that care about this but me, but I finally made Gold this morning in Hearthstone! That was fun!

OK, I apparently fail at Hearthstone Access. We must have had an update this morning. I repatched and it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Help.

How do I turn on audio descriptions with Paramount Plus and Peacock? I've been told there are options at the top of the screen, but when I flick through my options, I never see them. What magical gesture am I missing to get to those options?

First, when I Facetime, how do I share my screen? The first time I tried after the feature was added, the option was visible and it worked fine. Now I never see the option. What am I doing wrong? How do I get there?

OK, I have Voiceover for iPhone questions. I readily admit I'm not the best Voiceover user. Questions to follow.

Just updated Tweesecake. Lots of changes for Mastodon. The world is tempting me to post there more often.

Taking tomorrow off. I'm feeling under the weather, and I need to meet with my doctor again to go over some lab results. Nothing major, but I suspect some dietary changes are in my future.

OK, so I'm doing it ... or at least I'm trying. The Witching Hour is a 47 hour read, and I have begun. It may take me the rest of the year considering my current reading slump, but we'll see.

I received my box of Flamecraft goodies today! The Bread and Meat dragons are adorable! The components are top notch. Each resource is a different shape; I can tell them apart by touch. It feels like this was made for me. The board is lovely. The box is designed well!

Walmart is selling the lament configuration as a child's toy. Wow, Walmart, what were you thinking?

Perplexed. The Accidental Alchemist by Gigi Pandian looks like something I'd love, but it looks familiar. It's not on any of my reading lists, though. I didn't track DNFs, though. Did I DNF this one? Does anyone else ever have this problem?

I continue through a deep reading slump. Tried a new urban fantasy today. They've given me nothing to know about the character except they're whiny and demanding. I have no patience for that.

All right, since I have the day off I'm going to dive down the Mastodon rabbit hole. Anything I should know?

3 of 5 stars to Half-Bad by Sally Green. An interesting urban fantasy with lots of magic, but I like the world and the mythology more than I like the main character.
