Hey @chuckwendig.bsky.social this your Ouray?
Forest fire on the outskirts of Ouray in daylight. It's spreading quickly due to the high winds. Second picture is taken on Main Street in front of home. The fire is working its way around the canyon entrance into town. On standby with bail out bags in case of evacuation. #ouray #colorado #fire

I say “that’s good stuff Maynard” all the time
What's the most random/obscure thing you quote?

In "The Stand' by Stephen King (complete/uncut ed iirc), a character called The Kid would sometimes say "how do you like that happy crappy?" and I often say that to myself/out loud for various reasons lol.

Might I suggest “Wendig-ing” up the alt text, like so:
“A beautifully alert very small bird the color of a tobacco-sunburst Stratocaster with purple haze legs, I will call him Jimi. Behind Jimi is greenish haze, and his branch is covered with delicate tendrils of colorful moss. Photo by Jen Cross.”
