This squirrel sounds like he smokes a pack a day and wants you to get off his lawn. (Sound at about 8 seconds). He sits here outside my kitchen window and yells until I come to say hello.

Banned Books Week starts today! This year’s theme is: #LetBooksBe What do you think books should be? Share your answer in the comments: ✨ Let Books Be Free 🎉 Let Books Be Fun 🌎 Let Books Be Diverse 💡 Let Books Be Thought-Provoking ❤️ Let Books Be Themselves

Experiments in the continuing effort to combine my long-term interest (and business) in tie dye, with my more recent interest in leather work, specifically journal covers because boy howdy do I love a notebook that is pretty to look at and pleasing to touch. So far none of these are winning.

I mean, they are all successful insofar as they are colorful and interesting and someone will love the finished product. But none of these methods so far reproduces what I would do with a piece of fabric.

Fun experience tonight: in a restaurant with friends, was approached by a very familiar-looking woman who reminded me excitedly that I taught her to knit, like 17 or 18 years ago. It's especially gratifying because teaching knitting was my favorite job.

Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: Low-budget LARPers complete most, but not all, of a quest before being interrupted by law enforcement.

Sir Arthur is innocent of any rumors you may have heard about harassing the other cats. He is a sweet innocent angel boy, just look at that face.

My horoscope says it's a good day for me to post thirst traps, so here's a martini *and* a water bottle, that's twice as thirsty. Right? Am I doing this right? My resident Youth Expert is asleep.

"upfuckenating" gets my vote for word of the year

Premee Mohamed@premeemohamed.com

Excited/traumatized/excited that I pitched an essay and the pitch basically went "Can I do a deep-dive on a book that fucked me up" and they said yes There are so many SO many But this one was early and formative and upfuckenating and I am excited to write this essay

OnlyMarms

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social

Facing federal science budget cuts, biologist Daniel Blumstein resorted to uploading marmot videos to OnlyFans to raise funds for his marmot research. However, when he uploaded his driver’s license for verification, OnlyFans informed him that his appearance didn’t match the marmots in the videos.

It's an exciting #caturday, the kitten has been named! Please allow me to present Sir Arthur, Voleslayer, first of his name. He would like to lick your nose.

Latest addition to "weird/cool things in my house": a Bluetooth speaker for the kitchen, built into a previously non-functional Fender amp.

We have a weekend guest who showed up uninvited but brought a hostess gift of a vole. He's into interpretive dance and bird-watching

TFW you find a charm and make a whole cover to go with it, and then discover you already had matching contents. Leather cover dyed with shaving cream, leather dye, fountain pen ink, and painted with acrylic paints and glitter. Hand sewn, with pen sleeves, a handmade sketchbook and a nice journal.

The project the cat stamps were for 🙂 Except now I am also thinking about a little border of paw prints around the bottom of the legs.

"poetry"

Odd This Day@oddthisday.bsky.social

It’s the 114th anniversary of the opening ceremony of the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm—the first at which poetry was a category you could win a medal for. The gold was taken by... er, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, President of the International Olympic Committee 🧵

Happy Explosions -and-Barbeque Day to everyone except the people in my neighborhood who have been setting off fireworks continuously for the last couple days, and an especial fuck you to this guy

Getting ready for a project in a couple days for which I need a variety of cats. The black one is from my #the100dayproject, the orange one is new. What other classic cat poses do I need? Sitting up like an Egyptian statue, arched and hissy - jumping to catch something?

You may have heard rumors that Miss Dorothy is all enormous tail and fluffy pantaloons, but I assure you she is also mostly belly.

77F/25C degrees at 4:30 am, how's it going? I, a middle aged lady, am perched on the edge of my seat with a hand fan aimed alternately at my crotch and my feet. "Refrigerated Underpants" is on the family list of band names but right now I want some to wear to bed.

Today's project: transforming a pocket notebook cover I made a while back and then ended up not having anyone to give it to, into a portable paint kit. I added the two center pen pockets - the second pen fits if there's a book in the elastic rather than a pad in the front pocket - and divided (cont)
