also can you guys show me pics of your cats because i am working on a kitty cat sticker sheet and wanna have lots of different cat patterns on it ty!!!

really I'm just in the most dangerous level of PEM where the fatigue and pain levels are low enough that my Need To Do Something (whatever it is) can activate the Let's Do It! process, but still too high for Let's Do It! to be anything like a good idea. even stabbing a potato for baking just now 🫠

decided that unscrewing the sewing machine cover to check for dust, etc, wouldn't be Too Exerting. i was wrong 🥲 but that could be because it was more confusing than i expected! and the needle down button fixed itself??????? machine is dusted & threaded and ready for use, though

this was one of my newest sticker sheets that i debuted at otakon! It's based on bavarian folk art, but with bears.. so bearvarian! I will have them listed soon, along with three other new designs 🐻

Still at $131/$750 at this point I am just desperate for a tiny bit of rest, please

I finished reading Chapter 2 about the Hazards yesterday, and it has lots to be thoughtful about. Rockman shows how they built their business in the 1820s and 1830s through selling to plantations and Rowland's annual travel through the South to New Orleans and how he saw slavery firsthand.

Chapter 2 of Plantation Goods discusses the Hazard brothers of Rhode Island, who manufactured "negro cloth" for the South. But, curiously, their uncle refused to do any trade with enslavers, a grandfather who repudiated slavery later in life, the other refused a wedding present of plantation+slaves

@robynelyse.bsky.social fyi "profound autism" as mentioned in your latest re the Amish, isn't really a thing. it's being ginned up by an Autism Mom whose kid has autism + intellectual disability and is kind of conflating them? nothing to do with autistic support needs but it sounds scarier

"and jellyfish" 😬

Allowing herbs (like this basil) to flower can attract pollinators to your garden. Since herbs tend to lose flavor once they've flowered, plant twice as much as you need and allow half to produce blooms. More herbs for pollinators at UF/IFAS Gardening Solutions: buff.ly/Az4ueMl

6am, me: i might be feeling a smidge better, despite everything? 9am, my body: haha, sucka! tricked you again!

Everyone with #MECFS & #LongCovid deserves £compensation for harm, neglect, abandonment, and blocked research and treatments. Instead of healthcare we have gaslighting. It's a scandal. I would write more but waking up in pain and discomfort and a broken brain, every fecking day, dulls my eloquence.

Today is Severe ME Awareness Day, so if you have 27 minutes to spare (even to just put it on in the background) and don't know much about ME/CFS, you can be really cool and watch/listen to this video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiwX... { #MECFS }

I really, really hate doing this, but: if you've enjoyed reading something I wrote, and feel like kicking a couple of dollars my way for food & bus fare until I get paid for literally anything, I would be SO grateful fullstorybaltimore.tours/tip-your-gui... 🥺🧡

@swordsjew.bsky.social Wild Faith: Simply terrifying book. Explains so much: workers' rights, climate change, foreign interventions, Palestine etc., all make much more horrible sense. Your descriptions & explanations are beautifully crafted. Thanks for making me engaged, terrified & depressed.

"It’s not just that the crystal is old. It’s that something this small and this fragile-looking has outlasted almost the entire physical Earth it formed on. Continents have assembled and broken apart, oceans have opened and closed, and entire mountain ranges have risen and eroded"

Who else spent their childhood cutting out paper dolls? This collection was made by Anne Sanders Wilson for her sister Mary in 1832 & accompanied a morality tale called The History of Miss Wildfire charting the perils of fashion. I still have some of mine, anyone else? #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I've been hoping to nap for over an hour but every time i close my eyes, sleep feels too far away. I really don't want to make this NatGeo thing a long-term habit - there's too many trash shows to annoy me. i am def feeling yesterday's over-exertion, though. maybe it's just painsomnia? hm

One thing I love about Brian is that he looks like he is actively plotting my murder whenever I look at him

Three years ago on this day, I reviewed Beth Farrell's (AKA: Pearle Botsford's) "Lady Snob" (LOVE STORY MAGAZINE, April 25, 1936), featuring an unusually slim and effete hero, and some surprising poignancy to the heroine's journey. Happy anniversary, you crazy kids. #pulp #romance #romancelandia

“Lady Snob”: I would read a whole series about Lace Flowers: Sissy Detective.

Simonné looked the young man over, gray eyes amazed.  He should have wilted in his tracks, but he didn’t.  Merely stood at smiling attention, one brow quizzically raised. There was so much about hi…

Unlikely to make it out with my camera today, so here is another photo from yesterday's walk: Hummingbird, sipping from salvia flowers.
