The Artifice of Us Episode 6 prt 2-Carnivorous Some people are dead! There's a cave! Prison planet? Ahhh!! #booksky 💙📚 Site: t.ly/I6Ndq Inkitt: t.ly/ixWN3 Wattpad: t.ly/G1l25

Severe storm weather has me yammering about polygons like a mathematician from a small town in New England that's plagued by a mysterious fog.

The spring weather in Texas...she begins....

My FDM printer has a camera, and there's something DEEPLY soothing about putting the feed in the top of my screen and watching it go.

Found an updated copy of Labyrinth. Broke it out for #boardgame day. Haven't played it since literally the 90s, and it's more deceptively difficult than I remember.

Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.

Explain a symbiote Comic Thing in a comment on a subreddit, and as you're typing you're like "this makes perfect sense." It's only when you read it back how utterly deranged you sound strikes you.

This #NCBD brought the first standalone in the Death Spiral crossover event, and I JUST WANT DYLAN AND EDDIE TO BE HAPPY. 😭😭😭😭😭 #comics

So I feel (both as a reader & author) like discoverability of new books is down lately, especially for the midlist. Please tell me some recently published (past year-ish) SFF books you loved that are midlist/overlooked/deserve more hype! (And please share your recs/this list!) My recs in reply!

I appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. (Captions added, video 1 of 2):

Occasionally I'll drop a "been doing [xyz needlecraft] for 25+ years," and it sounds pretentious and fake. Really I just spent a lot of Sunday afternoons as a kid with only my grandmother's sewing room for company and needlepoint was an "acceptable" thing to do with your hands during Big Church.

My husband is about to watch This is Spinal Tap for the first time. I'm genuinely excited.

This #NCBD I get to debut my new comic book shopping bag. I saw Venom fabric at Michaels and bought 3 yards, figuring I'd come up with something eventually. Sewed this gal up last night, and she's a cutie. #crafts #comics This week: Fantastic Four Ultimate Spider-Man Knull The Muppets Noir

Modeled and FDM printed some beads I couldn't find in the right size at Michaels, and I've never felt more powerful in my LIFE.

Our next Shigeru Mizuki release is coming soon! THE DEFINITIVE YOKAI FIELD GUIDE. This was a personal request by Mizuki himself to have it translated, as he felt it was the culmination of his work. @dandq.bsky.social amzn.to/4rVYPC9

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.

For Valentine's Day, a part of one of my favorite spreads from one of my favorite single issues of Venom. LGCY #150 W-Mike Costa Pencils-Tadd Moore Color-Felipe Sobreiro Letterer-Clayton Cowles

Please look at my little #Venom in a canister. I spent so much time on him just to have a little buddy to carry around. #crafts #resinprinting

Coming down with something this #NCBD, but I will not be deterred! This week it's -Venom -Wade Wilson: Deadpool -Space Ghost And I've had to put Black Cat on the backburner, but I want to read/collect this upcoming MJ!Venom arc. Considering their relationship, I think it'll be fun. #comics

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/b...

My ex-gifted child fear of failure is only outpaced by my queer audacity that I can eventually figure anything out with the right YouTube tutorial.

A few weeks with transition lenses, and the shape is proving a problem. In regular mode: great! In sunglasses mode, I'm a trilby and a trench coat away from being a minor character in the movie Grandma's Boy.

In theory, "urbia" is a word (re: suburbia), but GOD it does not look right on paper.

Spoiler for Trials in #Frosthaven. All my years of the safety pin game at Girl Scout camp have served me well, so far, but I did just take two hits back to back not thinking. It helps that I don't "attack" anything in this game. I "punch that guy in the face." #boardgames

Oh this one hurts. youtu.be/yC8rZq3oKuI?...

Trying to explain filet to crochet to my husband. I started at "binary image" went through "a discrete fold of a length of yarn to a given topological arrangement" and landed at "a universal platonic ideal of a stitch" at some point.

animal shelters in the usa are getting overwhelmed again- if you have the space, time, and resources to foster or adopt a furry friend (or two!) please consider doing so! just remember that every pet needs time to get used to a new living space 💚 #art #comics #fosteringsaveslives #cats #dogs

There's a #cat in this picture.

This local queer bookstore only has 1 week to raise the funds it needs to stay open!!! Please if you can, consider giving a bit. They’re currently at $400 out of the necessary $6.5k. If you can’t afford to donate that’s okay too! Just sharing helps!

Before y'all start making fun of us Southerners for being "scared of snow/cold" let me break down what these weather events look like: Right now, it's in the mid-40s, raining, and will be the rest of the day. This is as warm as it gets today, so that standing rainwater won't be evaporating. 🧵

#NCBD is a Fantastic Four week, so of course that's great. But it's also the debut of Inglorious X-Force and yooooo. Everyone looks SO👏 FLARKING👏 GOOD👏. Like my boy Nate back on page with Boom Boom after how long? 😘 #comics

Paarthurnax, in particular, doesn't understand personal space. #cat

Made another floppy #comics hard slipcase....thing... This one for my favorite symbiote mini-series, Toxin. Different kind of board than my last one and still figuring out some construction details. #crafts #diy #venomcomics

Maybe we should stick to a message this simple.

The division has lost over $77 billion since its inception in 2020.

Friend texts me: "So we're watching Heated Rivalry..."

New glasses! Insurance allowed me to add blue light filtering and transition lenses for, like, $20 total. Blue light filtering- Yes, so far! Sun transition-Meh. They're not really dark enough, and I still feel like I need my wraparounds. Not sure I can reccomend if you have to drop $ on them.

New Space Ghost this #NCBD, and I'm behind by, like, three months. Maybe Urbosa will let me catch up. #comics #cat

I talk about this when I teach translation, but the choice to keep a word in its native language must be deliberate--and not simply to exoticize. You are attempting to introduce a new word into the English language. And by doing so, you are asking the reader to do the work you are being paid for.

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN

Has anyone talked about the filament printer to ball jointed doll pipeline, because I might be staring it down.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Fascinating approach to nutrition block serving size on this Canadian vs USian drink. Why is the serving on the Canadian one such a WEIRD unit? It's a 500ml bottle, so 375ml isn't even an even half. Would be interested in what the regulation looks like to cause this.
