Thinking of making a crafting blog. Where is a good place to start one?

@dustykatt.bsky.social 77 workouts completed! I’m pretty impressed that working out is something I look forward to now.

I am on vacation next week. I really, really need it. I love my students, and will be refreshed and full of spoons when we get back.

I now have a laser cutter/etcher. Let the fun commence!

@dustykatt.bsky.social I thought of you today. I hope you are healing okay, and also hope you know you are continuing to inspire me to take better care of myself (52nd gym workout happened 3/14/26).

@dustykatt.bsky.social Make that 33 workouts now. And new workout shoes, because arch support is a good thing.

@dustykatt.bsky.social hey- just thought you’d like to know I’ve completed my 31st workout at the gym :-). You‘re inspiring me to do the thing.

Question: What is the best online place (Etsy, Shopify,???) to sell both digital downloads and physical products?

Hi everyone! So I have an Etsy store. Please feel free to check it out. www.etsy.com/shop/WithATe...

True story: I REALLY wish I had known about my current employer years ago. It’s really cool to work in a place where I can be…me.

My mother got me a portable recording studio!

Send positive vibes. I’m not feeling great, but am at work because we have winter iReady diagnostic testing for ELA today.

Still can’t believe my tote bag went for $1200 at @ponyvilleciderfest.com.

I haven’t done this in a while, but if you care to help me out with a few things for setting up my classroom (same school, just larger room), that would be great! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

2 whateveryoucallem are now on my TikTok. I might be having fun....

What do you do when strongly encouraged by @ambermayvo.bsky.social, @nataliehaynes.bsky.social, and Gillian Berrow to create a TikTok profile? You create said profile. Chaotic_pony is my username.

If you’re at @trotcon.bsky.social and want to drop off items for the Sunday charity auction (11:30am, Mane Events) benefiting @kycohio.bsky.social, you can do so at the con store in the vendor hall! Thanks, all!

I'm also making my ginormous periodic table in SVG form for my Etsy store, as well as my vision board.

I have decided that I'm going to make the kit labels in SVG form for my Etsy store. Please note, I'm making them. I'm not using AI or any of that stuff. So they may not be perfect, but I consider that awesome.

Inspired by @dustykatt.bsky.social , I am assembling a miniature room kit. Because I'm me, I organized the tiny bits.

Oooh! Question for my fellow VA peeps. Do any of you use those portable recording booths? Like this: The Snap Studio portable recording booth delivers studio-quality sound for vocals, podcasts, and more from the comfort of your home. You don't want to miss it! a.co/d/0yDduMJ Thanks in advance!

I am so proud of myself. I just finished a coaching session with someone who has been in the audiobook field. I have goals, advice on how to improve my recording setup, and yeah...I'm really glad I did this.

I have *looks at tablet* many questions for tomorrow's chat. I will not get to them all in the time I have. This is ok.

I signed up for an online coaching session which will be happening this Tuesday to serious start pursuing my audiobook/VA dreams. No, not giving up being a teacher, ever.

Did not have 'get emotional while making a light saber at Disney World' on the bingo card. But it makes sense. My dad and I enjoyed watching Star Wars together (we saw ROTJ in the theater while my sister and mom went to see something else), and while this may sound really corny, I felt his presence.

@alasdairstuart.com Had a Aeros bar at (sadly, no orange Tango to be found- thought of you <3

Made it through the 2nd year anniversary of my father's passing relatively ok. However, ALS needs to have a cure found. So do all the cancers, etc.

Sooo...Tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of my father's passing. I know some may not have had the positive relationship that I had with my father, and I don't want-especially in these times- to trigger anyone with any posts that I may do tomorrow. And, ALS needs to be cured.

To anyone in the education field (and this is not just for teachers, but everyone): I know it's really, really hard right now. I appreciate you. We all rock.

Hello! So my new job is amazing- both my coteachers and the administration. This is a first for me.

For once in my life, I do NOT want a snow day tomorrow. Why? I still have stuff to get out of my soon-to-be former classroom, and 2 days would work out better for me than just one. However, if it turns out I end up having to do Friday/Saturday, that's fine.

That feeling when, at 49, you do something for yourself that terrifies you, but works out so well. I start a new teaching job Dec 9th. I can't wait. So much more awesome is already waiting for me. I've earned it.

Please cross fingers/toes/ hooves/what have you for me. Thanks!

@meredith.cc If you ever want to do a co-op game thing on Powerwash Simulator, let me know! No...pressure (unintended wordplay there).

I had a phone screening today for a job closer to home. I'm feeling very good about this! Next week I meet with the school administration team, and get a tour of the school.

Is there a resource I can use to change a teacher resume into one that is more senior care centered?

I'm looking into switching into senior care (activities director or something like that) after 22 years of teaching. It feels right.

Please send positive vibes my way this Thursday at 4:15 pm EST. Kthnxbye.

Screams into void. Between Twerpface being elected, and my mom having new health issues, I don't really know how many spoons I have left right now.

I make absolutely no apologies about being imperfectly perfect me. So there, sage nod, good talk.

So apparently, yesterday was needed for a variety of reasons. I'm feeling much better today.

Cue crying in my classroom by me today. Not sure how I'm supposed to teach 5 different grades at the same time with no other teachers, etc., in the room?

And, apparently playing a VR powerwashing simulator is relaxing for me. I'm...not normal, and I'm glad.

In case anyone thinks I'm trying to indoctrinate my students, the answer is no. I'm just trying to herd hyperactive squirrels most of the time. While on a flaming tightrope over a pit of angry chihuahuas. Why yes, today was stressful- how did you ever guess? 😉

Repost if you support trans people and think we're neato

Tonight was fun. I was Eerie Mary at Halloween on a Sub. (U.S.S Cod).

Hello! I'm going to be on here a lot more now.

Hello! It's me :-)
