Needs some beeswax to do that. Where'd I leave that beeswax...? I can't. I need to get the beeswax. Everyone's waiting on that beeswax. Beeswax... come on, Oddy, think! Know I saw some beeswax somewhere... Surely I can find some beeswax. Need to find the beeswax first.

Making a period tracker yourself is a really amazing way to take over your digital agency!! I want to teach a workshop where we each make a simple securely hosted (or locally hosted) website (that doesn't rely on large hosting platforms) where you can easily go to and enter your data

Everest Pipkin@everest.bsky.social · 4w agoWould you like to contribute an OBJECT to live in a WAREHOUSE GAME? I'm working on a parser fiction game where you play as a worker in the warehouse of the gods- sorting, storing, rearranging objects, meandering. I need so many objects!

![Form II was of sufficiently lower energy that it became impossible to produce Form I in any laboratory where Form II was introduced, even indirectly. Scientists who had been exposed to Form II in the past seemingly contaminated entire manufacturing plants by their presence, probably because they carried over microscopic seed crystals of the new polymorph.[3] The drug was temporarily](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:plvxn2kpjuseoftweoo4xtag/bafkreicvlnfpu66zxvro2wx6hwzqkz6c5y7p4vnxzoqtqqa5vu4776kgqe)

The Prairieland Sentences Are a National Emergency
A federal court has punished Texas ICE demonstrators with decades in prison. This is dark news, not just for them but for anyone who may want to register political dissent.
