I went to the library for a meeting and oops I came home with LESSONS IN MAGIC AND OTHER DISASTERS by Charlie Jane Anders. Raved to the librarian about ALL THE BIRDS IN THE SKY while checking out. She immediately placed a hold. \o/

Welp. I missed my rent payment and landlords are knocking on the door with threats. There's literally snow on the ground. Please help keep a trans girl and her dog housed. ko-fi.com/remspeedwagon

One time, 20+ years ago, I decided to make a cranberry sauce from scratch. It was my first time hosting Thanksgiving, and I wanted to impress my grandmother. It came out fine! But was not the stuff in a can. Needless to say, Gram wisely and quietly pulled a can of Ocean Spray out of her purse.

It's Friday, and items @peculiarityshop.bsky.social are 20% off! Here's a thread of shinies to consider, if you're thinking of treating yourself or someone you dig. First, this necklace from Becky, pairing an excellent pewter owl with their chainmail skills: www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...

Hey peeps, this is the Kickstarter by a friend of a friend, about a lovely children's book. It's close to its end and could use some help to cross the finish line. www.kickstarter.com/projects/299...

Nightborne has been unleashed! Here are a few of the shinies I made for it that you might dig. These poison-green skull earrings: www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...

PSST. Clearance extended through 10/5/25, and new stuff added! We don't ever put Boneyard stuff on sale bc it's already really discounted, but I need it out of my house so I can install the printer that'll let us make cheaper, better t-shirts, so please buy it? Use code GO2025 to B2G1 on:

I'm sorry I keep asking for help, but I literally have nowhere else to turn. I am doing my best to get back on my feet, both literally & metaphorically, but that will be exponentially harder if I lose my apartment. I desperately need $482 for rent & enough utilities to avoid shut off. Please.

I've taken all* my craft supplies out and organized them into type -of-craft piles. Now I have to... *checks notes* ... put them away? Seems like bullshit. *in this room.

Circling back around to this. Folks, these are OLD friends of mine. Like 20+ years friends. We've seem some shit together. They're good people, working hard to make the world a more progressive place. Hannah works with a DV org to help victims. 500 bucks is not a huge ask. Can we do this?

The library is one of the best things this country has to offer and everyone should be taking advantage of their local branch. Also librarians are some of the best people who will consistently fight for your right to read. (More ways to support libraries here: ilovelibraries.org)

a canceled streaming subscription is easily converted to several spec fic magazine subs on patreon and similar services, some are as low as 1-2 bucks. the more you know.

Psst. Our Capybara Pronoun Pins from our 2023 Kickstarter are discontinued, and we need them out of our shop so we have the room for new stuff. Want two pins for $8? Go get 'em. They're buy one, get one, no code needed, as long as they last. (gotta put 2 pins in your cart for the discount to show.)

I have older pieces from reptile shows and craft fairs on Etsy, and gotta make room for new beads and pieces that meet a very high bar! Clearance sale exclusive to BlueSky: 50% off with code BSKY50! Get a great deal and help me get even cooler new beads. #bsnm #jewelry varanidparadise.etsy.com

Reminding myself that I have all the things I really need to get started with bookbinding already, and no, I do not have to source archival quality whatevers when I am *learning* and making things for fun. Anyway, cute notebooks incoming soon, in theory.

Christian extremists in LA raise a stink over a kid's book. Why? It's "pornographic." Because it says some kids have two mommies. Well LA school board president Goldberg has a few choice words about =that=. Wow. Just wow. Madam President, take a bow. 💐💐💐 #lgbtqia+ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjaa...

Maybe Baba Yaga wants to live in a cute house, has no one thought of that??? Anyways I'm doing @peculiarityshop.bsky.social Nightborne work on this holiday weekend.

It is I, but a humble queermosexual, asking that you peruse my goods perchance because I'm short on bills this month. Someone had 1k in vet bills, Matilda, and a $630 dollar electric bill. Halp? www.peculiarityshop.com/hillary-s-co...

Do you like scaly things? Do you like shiny things? Rachel has scaly shinies for you at her freshly-launched shop!

Game Changer ARG! Come for the minigames, stay for the QR code fragment comprised entirely of tiny cartoon buttholes.

When we fight, we win. The vast majority of ALL Americans disagree with book banning. So grateful to be a part of @authorsabb.bsky.social (and esp @massaabb.bsky.social) so that we can fight for everyone's right to read freely!

GUILLOTINES, GET YOUR GUILLOTINES HERE. (chop chop) (Thank you 🥰 we have the very best customers)

My car wouldn't start this morning. Between paying for a new battery and lost wages, I'm down $400 for the week. It's a great time to buy my jewelry if you've been on the fence. I have guillotines I can list, or DM for dragonscale earrings in other pride colors www.peculiarityshop.com/becky-s-corner
