Welp, looks like I'm doing a craft fair this fall. Probably should start stockpiling crochet projects.

Totally valid. While stage managing, I once threatened to crucify cast members with duct tape and hang them on the flats as a warning to others if they wouldn't shut the fuck up.
Pixie Casey@pixiecasey.bsky.social · yesterdayin insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
Soon, I'll have a small assortment of little sporelings to sell. The problem? I haven't got the foggiest what to price them at, as the usual market research locations have similar items with prices all over the map. Not helping.
Met a smol frend at work today. It's a lacewing larva and they're very welcome to hang out, since they eat aphids and other small "pest" insects. #insects #lacewing #TalesFromTheGreenhouse
Lughnasa has passed, and now we are come to the darkening swing of the Wheel and the time of harvesting. It's good to be Home.
Today's original plan had been to turn a bunch of cucumbers into pickles, but that may have to wait until tomorrow (got a big cat scratch in a bad spot on my hand yesterday). On the upside, it's a good day to try and break the video inertia?
Are you in the Leominster area this morning? Stop by the Farmer's Market in Monument Square and pick up some native flowers from @redtrilliumgardens.bsky.social!
Whoo-hoo! Providence textile mills for me! *eye twitch* My consolation is that I'll be able to personally scare the hell out of Lovecraft, instead of just my grandfather doing so.

SageNatural@sagenatural.bsky.social · last wk.After I finish this cup of coffee - I'm thinking about making a new tea. (Salute and Goodbye and TOTMC sort of all rolled into one.) How does a lemon rose herbal chai sound? (balm and oatstraw, maybe, as the base.) *wants gluten free or would rig up something with barley* #DSNTeaLab #Tea
Folks at or en route to Pennsic! Community aid notice! Arastorm and family suffered a catastrophic vehicle fire on the way down that cost them their vehicle, their trailer, and a lot of their stuff. If there's anything you've ever wanted to purchase from Cabochon's, this is a good time to do it.
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

Today I learned how to can my own pickles. ☺️
Getting an itch to start going back to the SCA again, but not sure how to avoid an ex-friend who is extremely prominent in the kingdom, as there's no good way to just not be around him if I want to get seriously involved again. Blerg.

Hey Texas folks! A dear friend's brother is missing, last known whereabouts living semi-rough in some woods near Dallas. (I don't have the hand function to retype everything for alt-text today. If someone else wants to take a stab at it, please do.)
See, now I'm curious.... If you were to defeat me, what loot do *you* think I'd drop?
I miss the Poppet Witch. I should see if I can find her again.
Hooray! Something tried to eat the neighborhood skunk in the side yard and now the house smells like skunk. Sigh. At least it wasn't the front door this time...
If your argument against permanent Standard Time is "but kids will be walking to school in the dark!", the problem isn't what time the clock says, the problem is that school starts too fucking early. There is no sane reason why children should have to be up at literal DAWN. Change the school time.
Is the Doomscroll getting you down? May I suggest taking some time and working your way through @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social's podcast "Demand Utopia". Instead of listening to the Doom and Gloom, consider ways to envision and proactively build a better way. solarpunkmagazine.com/demand-utopi...

We have until July 29th to save Chaco Canyon, one of the most ancient historical and cultural sites in the county. It's absolutely irreplaceable, and this move is absolutely against the wishes of the local Native Nations and tribes. Please, please, please leave a comment
Daniel - Desert Apostate@hcexvangelical.bsky.social · 3w agoThe asshole administration is planning to remove the mining buffer around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...
I will never understand the people who spend their time on social media looking for every negative thing going on in the world, resharing it so everyone else has to look at it, and then complain that social media is full of doom and gloom. THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE, MY FRIEND.
Interesting day. Drove along a highway that can barely be called a road somewhere west of Satan's Kingdom, wondering if I'd need to light a Babylon candle to find my way back home...
...and one more time before I shut the work box down for the night. Sleep well, when you find it.

The smoke has moved off enough to open the house up and go outside again. Gonna take the boys out on the porch for a bit, then take the camera for a nice, long drive after. Might even wander out Quabbin way.
