My latest #embroidery piece. This style was popular in Tudor England.

Tim got me a belated Christmas gift. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I made pancakes and Tim made eggs. We are snacking and watching the extended editions of LOTR. Merry Christmas y'all!

Went on a Krampus themed pub crawl last night. Made my own hat. Took selfies with the Mari Lwyd. Enjoyed Krampus liqueur. Danced my ass off. 6 drinks across 4 bars. One bar had SWINGS instead of barstools.

It’s incredible to me how publishing professionals will use AI for the work that they are paid a salary to do. At the same time, they require writers’ work to be completely original, unpaid until they decide otherwise, for pennies. Just breathtaking.

@clairewillett.bsky.social I'm not on Bluesky much these days so I didn't see if you posted about it: have you seen Wake Up Dead Man yet?

you have been visited by the Quail of the Double Top Knot. Like for good luck. Ignore to go fuck yourself.

77 gigantic Oreo bonbons for Tim's office. Several people told him they were only attending tomorrow's meeting if I sent them. I don't care about the meeting but I love my fans!

Love is having a husband who gets out of bed at 11:30 to make you eggs because you're hungry and your blood sugar is spiking. 💕

Still almost exclusively on Threads these days, where it's actually fun, but here is my cat sleeping on her beloved stairs.

If you have a chance to see del Toro's Frankenstein on this screen this week before it goes to Netflix, please do it. The small screen just cannot do it justice.

@realgdt.bsky.social sir, I have been unable to stop thinking about your Frankenstein for WEEKS. It lives in my head and heart and blood and lungs. It made me a better human. Thank you.

My homemade Rumi wig is AWESOME. #KPopDemonHunters #crochet #cosplay

My husband and I love @latenightseth.bsky.social 's Surprise Inspections. @mikescollins.bsky.social jokes are always the most tasteless and always our favorites.

Rocket has finished her course of antibiotics!

Rocket just took her 6th dose of antibiotics. Only 4 more to go. She's bouncing back like a champ.

This is a country full of: ableism, a failing mental health paradigm, eugenics ...

Rocket ate several squeeze tubes today and took her meds like a champ. 1/3 of the way through!

Rocket was in a bad place last night and I thought today might be my last day with her. But she is up and about and eating!!

I want a pink toad bag so badly. I don't know when I can afford one, but I want it.

The vet called. They ran the urine sample and Rocket has a UTI. This MAY be cause for her kidney values. She's going to get antibiotics for a bit and then we'll retest her blood.

@keith.social.starkeith.net.ap.brid.gy I finally remembered to find you on here and thank you for the Christmas cards every year!

I am determined to make Tim watch Nichijou.

Nemik actor Alex Lawther “had no idea” that Nemik’s manifesto in the ANDOR finale was going to resonate so strongly with fans. “Because of Tony's cleverness, I get to sort of live on in a way. But I wish I hadn't been killed by that trolley full of credits.” (Source: Polygon)

saw this post on Insta from my friend Laramie, a queer horror writer (excerpt from SACRAMENT by Clive Barker), then opened bluesky to see Talia’s post, and I am feeling both things so deeply. you are fucking magic. we are magic. we are a hydra. chop off a head, ten grow back. I get queerer every day

The words of someone who is more articulate than I can be tonight. (They wish to remain private.)

Tonight I had a class that reminded me why I love teaching #crochet. I am mildly ambidextrous due to autistic reasons. I had a student who is left-handed and had almost given up on learning. I can crochet with both hands, so I switched to my left. She caught on almost immediately and was giggling.

The moment a government takes weapons away from a specific group of people, that group of people are in extreem danger of being killed by that same government.

Why am I reading The Long Walk while I have leg cramps and neuropathy? This might have been a bad idea.

I had a reason for this post: RFK Jr. recs people eat less beans, a highly nutritious food rich with protein AND fiber in favor of meat. The man who was going to eat hrs old dead bear but stopped for a steak thinks this is "healthy". Meanwhile, we have rising colon cancer in young people.

Gods I love Gwendolyn Christie.

Just FYI, I'm mostly on Threads these days because it feels like Twitter circa 2009 when things were fun. I'm joi_the_artist over there, as usual.

My financial situation is absolutely destroying my mental health. It's literally so bad that I'm considering going back to T-Mobile.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Do you like NASA? And elves? I'm going to be GMing the official NASA one-shot, The Lost Universe at Flights of Foundry! It's virtual and free to attend. So if you want to come hang out on Saturday, 9/27 and roll some dice, sign up for it with via the lottery. flights-of-foundry.org/lottery/

@darthbluesky.bsky.social we got word back on Rocket. She has stage 3 kidney disease. It's not reversible but it is treatable.

Rocket likely has stage 3 kidney disease and possibly the beginnings of heart disease.

Who's the worst cartoon character? I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics. It's gonna take a thread.

you should want to keep learning things throughout your life if for no other reason than it gives you more material for jokes

Rocket just got back from the vet. I was given a kit to take a urine sample and she's getting bloodwork done. We'll know more on Wednesday.

Gavin Newsom doesn’t deserve your dead-eyed cheerleading. He is Donald Trump with better hair. Learn to stand for something and demand better.

Update: Rocket ate an entire tube of squeezey treats!

@darthbluesky.bsky.social will you send thoughts and prayers for Rocket? She's 14 and we have a vet appointment because she's rapidly losing weight.

Hark! There's a planet! It is nearer than night. It is roly-poly and squeaky. There's a chance you could be peaceful there.

Rocket has dropped a lot of weight and isnt eating much. I've booked a vet visit for Sunday. Thoughts and prayers appreciated.

Went to a car show hosted by the local queer collective in a dress I finished at 3am.

I guess I wanted people to go “you will not pick on trans kids.” And they did at first, but then he posted a few good memes and it was all “never mind, go Gavin” and…I really do not want that to be how things are going to be.
