Noticing more and more that my books are being ordered through libraries which is so awesome! I worked in libraries for 30 years and will never not be thrilled at the idea that library users have access to books I wrote with my very own brain! 💜💜💜

Linking medical care to employment is very stupid. There was a kerfuffle with my paycheck this summer, and for one pay period, my insurance premium was not deducted. As a result, they canceled my insurance without telling me, but kept deducting the premium. I just found out I’m not insured. 🤬

Mundane Halloween returns! Halloween is great, but the greatest part of Halloween is the annual "mundane Halloween" costume contest sponsored by Japanese website @dailyportalz Here is a thread of some of my favorites from this year...
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #FrightfulFeathers, any eerie, mysterious or spooky birds sure fits my annual halloween post of this great grey owls vampire impersonation. #owls #birds #vampire #halloween
The US National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences recently cut its funding by 80%. This is the part of the NSF that funds all atmospheric, ocean, Earth, and climate sciences. 😱😱😱
Tom Gauld@tomgauld.bsky.social · 3d agoA halloween cartoon for this week's @newscientist.com
Now, tonight's local urgent needs. Julie's now covered, so just one for tonight. Tiffany needs $400 by tomorrow for October rent, etc. If we can raise half of it overnight [$200], @shademar.bsky.social has generously agreed to match it with the other $200 tomorrow.
Was it always the case that if you internet search a simple question, every single resultant website summary contains only enough text to literally repeat your question back at you and tease you with the concept of an answer? Because I feel like it was not (it was not.)
Yeah, shit day. 3 glue sticks into two projects and amazing art waiting to be experienced, but I am so so tired. Taking a break from making random stuff because I'm getting clumsy and some of the components are fragile and irreplaceable. And other ones I need darkness to test. Or don't have.
#DPS2026 I’m in the exhibit hall at the AURA table with a popup shop of my jewelry, badge lanyards, etc! Come get your bling!
It's kind of a tradition in Tahoe to go trick-or-treating in a snowstorm. 🎃☃️

"Shannon, why did you stop making political donations?" Me: Elon Musk "But how can we compete if we don't outspend him on x,y,z races?" Me: We can't. So either it matters and we can't do anything about it, thank you Roberts court, or it doesn't matter and we can find more beneficial uses for our $.
Why in the name of fucking everything did I just get a mail beg from Ken Paxton?! I've never once donated to anything even vaguely republican shaped. Probably donated to one or two TX dem candidates, before I realized political donations are all wasted bullshit. But *him?*
Our last day visiting Kenny and I got a little surprise. Becky's parents live 20 minutes from the rock and mineral museum. Soooo. Pictures incoming!
This week's mix of imagery and wearable art consists of three related photos linked by two obviously coordinating works, a pendant and a cuff. All of them are perfect for this week ending in Halloween, the photos of spooky spirits, the silverwork embodying places where spirits meet.
