Oh *screw you, whichever Boomer made today's Wordle. Grumble grumble grumble...

I don't know if it's better if a guy named Steven Kang happened to be someone who made Z-grade horror movies, or if someone who made Z-grade horror movies changed his name to Steven Kang to get the full off-brand power of using that name in the title. Either way: art.

This thread is perfect.

reminds me of the funniest zoology tiktok i’ve ever seen

It's too long so I'll have to redo the bottom, and I still have to 1) clean up the corner seams inside and 2) make an opening for the handle, but it's DONE. #sewing

Seam allowance: I has it. Now, how the heck do I put this together??? 🤔 I think I'm going to ask a neighbor for help, I don't want to screw this up. #sewing

I'm doing a rewatch of "The Mentalist" and having a hard time not mentally casting Simon Baker as all the charming/roguish characters in my stories... 😊

Don't give up on your dreams. If you wish to haunt tiny coastal towns as a tentacled monstrosity that hides in the fog and drives some folks to madness, I know you can do it. I believe in you.

Me: ok, this is the final FINAL version of the worldbuilding notes, I've got a duology plotted out because I can't fit all of this in one book *saves file* My brain: WAIT WAIT I HAVE MORE IDEAS WAAAAAAAIIIIIIT #writingsky #amwriting

Muse once again proving that hexagons are the bestagons. (Man, I miss Guitar Hero/Rock Band...)

The electrician they sent is wearing high-waisted pants.

Everybody clap, I managed to ink five #fountainpens and didn't get any ink on my hands! Jinhao 9016 - KWZ Maroon #2 TWSBI Diamond 580 ALR - Lamy Turquoise Sheaffer Prelude - Lamy Petrol Lamy 2000 - KWZ Gummiberry Pilot Capless - Waterman Audacious Red (Bonus Nespresso + Caran d'Ache Fixpencil)

I’d add words of wisdom from my stepmother—“A hobby is something you spend money on. If you make money on it, it’s a job and you’ll eventually need a new hobby.”

Women, learn to fix things around the house. That way you won't have to deal with stupid bullshit like this. 🙄

I think all of us born between like 1975 and 1985 need a support group for the fact that living through a rolling apocalypse, living with long covid, and starting menopause apparently all have the same symptoms.

Happy Perfect Date Day!

I played filament chicken with my printer today, and won! #3dprinting

I do not take booktok seriously and I never will. What the fuck you mean the epilogue and prologue “aren’t part of the book/story”???????

Chuck Norris was a monster but the jokes were fun. I propose we Pedro Pascal the Norris jokes so they’re fun AND attached to a decent person. Pedro Pascal doesn’t need to read books; when he cuddles them, they give him the information he wants.

However you feel about drinking green beer today, definitely pet a cat in honor of St. Gertrude of Nivelles, the patron saint of cats, gardeners, and travelers.

I need to get up because my asthma inhaler is out of reach and I need it, but alas, I am prohibited by law from so much as twitching. #CatsOfBluesky

This is the way.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Gah, @storiesandlies.bsky.social are playing Delta Green "God's Teeth" and GYAH. I'm glad I got home when I did and took a break, because the new episode is full of really disturbing stuff. I was making faces and muttering "oh fuuuck" under my breath on the walk home.

Dear Printy McPrintface (AKA Prusa Mini): If you could please stop doing the corner lifting on the lower right corner of the print bed, that'd be awesome. Just stop. I've done everything I could to fix you and you're still doing it. WHY DO YOU HATE ME???

Punk Cat PSA

ok but who gave music the right to be SO FUCKING GOOD and just cut right through all the bullshit and give people SO MANY FEELINGS (I'm people. It me.)

This is such a simple ornament, just a printed out photo and a 3d printed box (but you could also make it out of cardboard and silver paint or tinfoil), but it is genuinely making me laugh every time I walk by the tree this season. 🎄💖🥹 #ChristmasOrnament #DieHard

Sunday night contemplation. #CatsOfBluesky #TheRedDot

Red sky in the morning, sailor's warning. Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky at noon, Cthulhu arrives bearing gifts, and that gift is your doom.
