If it happens, I hope NASA has a way of letting the astronauts join in the celebration. I’d be so bummed if I was off-planet for it.

Guess who is amazing at Easter Egg hunt? Beaker! She’s awesome! All that digging and hunting. We had so much fun with @servicerotties.bsky.social and friends at the Easter Egg Hunt! 🎥 Beaker is tracking a scent and finds a plastic green egg filled with dog treats.

anyway I have a book releasing in July www.elizmanderson.com/the-lord-of-...

this sounds like an awesome strategy!

i discovered hi-lo when pal @kamielke.bsky.social's first hi-lo came out (Losing Hit Points, it's fantastic you should read it!) and i'm glad this category of books exist. i'm looking forward to getting my hands on 'nathan's books. i wish it wasn't so hard to get these books to readers

heads up. there is *one guy* creating approximately eleventy billion accounts to try to scam indies. pls just block this creep in all his forms.

at some point i will probably put the bsky app back on my phone to make pancakestime easier but for now i'm just really liking being offline

welp, i only half learned stained glass today because of some twat who decided to "ask forgiveness not permission" (a thing she literally said while snatching extra pieces off the table) and then refused to take the hint when the instructor said someone was still waiting to solder 🚮

I despise people who rail against content warnings. You know what never hurt me? A content warning. You’re not proving my anything by wanting other people to hurt, you know. It doesn’t make you edgy or tough. It just makes you an ass.

and i get to learn stained glass tomorrow! so excited! and still no migraine today! everything's coming up milhouse!

oh hey i made another patchwork pride book sleeve ✨
