Um.

Threw my back out practicing with my fireknife this morning. Might try Hua Tuo's classical pain remedy.

My card game Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa has cards for the River of Fire technique, where you spin the knife fast enough to fling a line of fuel onto the ground. #RiverMonth

The realtor who left everybody a business card and a box of sparklers is going to wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night when she remembers that all fireworks are illegal in the city.

(Yes, sparklers are among the least dangerous fireworks and the landscape happens to be significantly less crispy than this time last year, but the joke stands.)

Dazzle camouflage: not just for WWI warships!

If you replace an element of an #Rstats list with NULL, it shortens the list.

Well, sometimes.

> a = list(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
> b = list(8, NULL, 10)
> length(a)
[1] 5
> a[2:4] = b
> length(a)
[1] 5
> a
[[1]]
[1] 1

[[2]]
[1] 8

[[3]]
NULL

[[4]]
[1] 10

[[5]]
[1] 5

> a[3] = NULL
> length(a)
[1] 4

#Violet is a very nervous dog, quivering with stress.

Thanks, Google Photos! Are you going to snail me each one on a floppy?

"It's a trap!"

It's getting crepuscular.

#Violet's ears are a-quiver with antici ... pizza.

Judging by the cover challenge: what is this book about?

#Violet is a non-stop parade of adorability today.
