HAMMOCK TIME BABY

Just finished re reading Heinlein's classic Have Spacesuit Will Travel after a gap of two decades or so and coming to the realisation that I've had a thing for the "smart boy in space survival" genre MUCH longer than I had previously realised.

I had a conversation about dinosaurs in Aldi! The hat is working! Get yours from @blacksmoke1033.bsky.social

Sharing the 1990 Bisexual Manifesto once again to remind everyone that bisexuality was NEVER binary

Shown by law every bank holiday of my childhood 🙌

Currently enamoured with The Mars House audiobook by Natasha Pulley and read by Daniel de Bourg. Utterly charming space politics.

Look at them! Eating a little leaf!

AQA, who hurt you? 🤣

May I offer you this pretty shell on this Monday morning?

I’m running a shop sale because my event is going very poorly due to rain and I haven’t broken even. It’s just for the next 2 days! It’s 10% off everything including the shirts using code FECK10 blacksmoke1033.etsy.com

Animal people! 🦌🐕 #fursuitfriday @sashadistan.bsky.social

My body is ready! My outfit is not.

Be yourself, life is too short to be anyone else. #Pride

#NoMowMay is going very well in our garden.

Here, have a poppy

I love my time with my fur friend so much, but I do miss the fields

First mini (the non binary space marine from Feb 2025) to the most recent (synth wave Tyranid Feb 2026)

And I'm back in the woods!

Omg a t-shirt from @blacksmoke1033.bsky.social that's not black 😱

LOOK LOOK, IT'S MEL LOOKING AWESOME WITH MY AXE! #cfz2026

If you need me, I'll be in Birmingham.

If you're at #cfz26 then come listen to me talk about my favourite Greek Myths. Hangover friendly, I promise there's not a quiz at the end. #ConFuzzled #ConFuzzled2026 Artwork used with permission from the wonderful @flaroh.bsky.social

Hey @churchofpossum.bsky.social didn't you just make a sticker of nearly this? 🤣🥰

Caterpillars making silk in the graveyard have made it extra spooky

Pet peeve: I really hate it when artists give mermaids knees. They don't need to bend there! That's the fish bit! (This also applies to nagas)

If you’re a writer, write “I waited” without saying it. The bread dough rested, the yeast breathing gently. It seemed like a good time for a cup of tea.

My parent's new dog is mostly ears

Yes, I live on an agri-world and life is good

AND WE'RE DONE! #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40K #nerdlings #CrossStitch Just need to wash it and iron, and then get it framed. It's taken 3 months and it's been totally worth it.

We're nearly there fellow #NightLords! #WarhammerCommunity #CrossStitch

HAHAHA LOOK WHAT I FOUND Yes, I'm going to convert it into a #Warhammer40K Space Marine playset. IT WAS FREE

"just infill" they say, like that's not a monumental task. #WarhammerCommunity #NightLords #CrossStitch

And now all the counting and outlining is done. We just fill in the rest

Progress that Talos and the #NightLords would be proud of. #CrossStitch #WarhammerCommunity

The angry man is taking shape #CrossStitch #WarhammerCommunity

@yuehime.bsky.social bee maths!

Back on my therapeutic #CrossStitch bullshit. #WarhammerCommunity #NightLords

Look at this nice bark

I don't know if this counts because it's not finished, it's something my hands are still making, but please enjoy this Warhammer 40k Night Lords inspired cross stitch I designed.

My children are having a LAN party. They are all 10 and under.

Stone of us never fell for that skinny jeans nonsense.

Finished our 6km walk with seeing a very pretty rose

Anyone want to recommend me a houseplant suitable for north facing windowsill in a house which isn't very warm? (Our house isn't cold, but we are "wear a jumper" people rather than "turn on the heating" people)

I finished @nataliehaynes.bsky.social No Friend To This House and let me tell you I am now a WRECK. But also somehow healed and whole and changed. All the emotions.

Dashi feels much better
