Might as well post it here! A magical girl animation I've been slowly chipping at over the weekends for ages.

just FYI, the #Liene sticker printer is garbage. The paper doesn't stick, and if you buy your own vinyl paper, the ink looks shitty. This was a waste of hundreds of dollars. And I am sad. Do. Not. Buy.
I received this postcard from China today. I’m guessing it’s a recipe. Can anyone tell me what it’s a recipe for? I recognize bok choy in the drawing, but that’s it. #postcrossing

This is the second book in a month trying to world-build with dairy cows with no babies or bulls. That's not how cows (mammals) work despite what the Dairy Industry pretends. I'm saddened and angry that basic facts like this are unknown and showing up in books I'm reading.
one thing about writing an entire book about sandwiches is my brain is just full of random facts now. coffee plants were forcibly introduced to java by the dutch. tuna fishes have extraordinarily high lung capacity. barbecue was a status symbol denoting slave ownership in the antebellum south
Sam Neill sounded like my grandfather when he sang. Watching these earnest and kind videos during lockdown brought me such comfort. It was like my grandfather reaching through time to tell me not to be afraid. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTSGEHJ5N/
THROWBACK THURSDAY Dayton Ohio 1903 Something else I was doing a while back - lockdown days . Playing the uke and singing as best I might to cheer a few people up . This song of course , one of my all...

People hate being surveilled by the pallid gleaming cube necklace. However, they love being surveilled by the cute fox brooch, robotic snail, parrots in the rafters, mushrooms, stained glass window
This will be my last statement on the McConnell hospital photo Whether it is a real photo is irrelevant I have to go to work tomorrow and hope I don’t get sick because unlike McConnell I can’t take a month off work, and he is one of the people primarily responsible for this Have a great night
Two year anniversary of when I first posted this comic
even though D.C.'s Fourth of July has sucked, it doesn't suck everywhere.
Jason Rabinowitz@airlineflyer.net · last mo.A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.
Until this country faces our racism, nothing will get better. Everything we want is kept from us out of the racist (and classist) fear of someone Black having more. 250 years of racism holding everyone down.
Steven Nelson@snelsonus.bsky.social · last mo.I appreciate the @theguardian.com’s willingness to call this group what it is. Neo-fascist group Patriot Front parades Confederate flag in Washington DC on Fourth of July www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Photo of the year. Today. D.C. The masked morons are the Proud Boys, on their way to another round of shenanigans (it's 103°F outside). Apparently they're proud enough to show up, but not proud enough to show their faces. Anyway, this is part of America today, 250 years after independence. #life
These beds are new this year. Extremely happy with how they've turned out, as they are pretty much just a hodgepodge of extra seeds and plants I couldn't fit anywhere else 🌱
Honored to say The Works of Vermin is a finalist for the Ursula K. Le Guin prize! Congrats to everyone on the list!
Ursula K. Le Guin@ursulakleguin.com · last mo.We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:
Raspberries are sized JUST RIGHT to be fairy clown noses. "Clown" defies species, defies scale—clown is a fundamental property of intelligence
@michaelharriot.bsky.social #booksky Just finished Black AF History by Michael Harriot. Equal parts hilarious, infuriating, and meticulously researched. It doesn’t just challenge the version of American history many of us learned—it fills in the chapters that were left out. Highly recommended
Steam’s Summer Sale is on and TOEM is sizzling at 90% off 🔥 Still time to play before the sequel comes out. Now is your time: s.team/a/1307580
I just threw a hundred bucks at the Steam summer sale and some more over on Itch, not even for games I expect to play soon, but just for things I’m glad exist. It’s brutal out there in the games industry right now. If you can afford it, support your local indie developer.
