So, our test packages to the US have so far all got through without grief and so the great distribution of issue 7 begins, I’m going to say probably towards the end of next week just to be safe. But now’s a great time to order a copy and/or pick up our mega bundle with issues 3-6 shop.wyrd.science

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Youngest has found the power button on the NAS, so I've had to come up with a solution...

Secret Passages issue 2 arrived today! Great to see the wonderful @wyrdscience.bsky.social on the first page & a complimentary sticker! #snazzy #secretpassages

We now have a fediverse presence! You can find it and our other social media presence on our linktree, in bio or conveniently located for you here! linktr.ee/bristolhacks...

A 'Lemonade Sucker Bird' envisaged and coloured by the 4 year old and sketched by granny. Apparently it has both a mouth and a pointy sucker which it uses to eat leaves and then squirts lemonade into lemons (which is how lemons get their juice).

Playing railroad ink and lamenting that we need more childless / childcare flexible friends for boozy boardgames.

Love a bit of Gosh, It's always the place I try to make time to get to any time I'm in London, scouring the central table for cool indie releases has always led me to something interesting!

Gosh!Fest is TOMORROW! So many amazing artists are joining us throughout the day (we’ve reached 50)! On the day, they’ll be signings, window painting, zine-making and so many amazing comics, many of which are new and launching specially for Gosh!Fest! goshlondon.com/the-gosh-blo...

Anyone know how to explain planet formation and evolution to a 4 year old? I've just been double tapped with 'When was the earth made?' and 'When did people get here?" In quick succession.

Hot damn, 'The Matrix' at the cinema. Holds up superbly, what an absolute treat!

Word of the Day is ‘theic’ (19th century), defined as ‘one given to immoderate tea-drinking; a tea drunkard’.

I have no local audience here but hey, if you're in Bristol on the 31st of August with nothing to do, consider coming to have a look around the Hackspace! It's super cool I promise. If you like making anything at all you'll find something for you! bristolhackspace.org/open-day

probably should have included a link really, lucky for me social media users are famous for checking out replies to hours old posts 🤷‍♂️ Subscriptions: wyrd-science.subsail.com/subscribe/ Single issues/tees/etc: shop.wyrd.science

since we don't have kickstarter to kind of provide some kind of exciting goal/target/sense of urgency I'm thinking maybe we do something really depressing like this instead

From 3Kg of Plums to 14 jam jars! 🎉

✅ Task Complete: Bought a Ladder ⚠️ Task Alert: You've now unlocked 1365 new house tasks!

3Kg of Plums off the tree! Off to the official jam maker (Mum).

Another day, another bumper crop from the allotment.

We are finally ready to announce that EMF 2026 will happen on July 16-19, 2026, at Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Herefordshire. Expect more updates soon as we start spinning up the organisation again.

1996 was a different time.

Yeah it's pretty hot indoors...

My Norwegian Army poncho is an all time best buy for taking the boys out; managed to survive a downpour on the way to the model train park yesterday. Packs down super small. Worth its weight in gold.

Ok, because there is no better time to relaunch your newsletter, and launch your entire (half built) brand new website, than a Sunday afternoon when you are on a family holiday that’s exactly what we’ve done… Gazetteer subscribers please check your inboxes/junk mail or like everyone else read here

The 4 year old is giving the Mariana Trench a run for it's money today with questions like "Who was the first baby?"

"Daddy it's one of your ADULT BOOKS!" My 4yr old shouts as he hands me a small yellow package from the doormat. Congrats @rascal.news on year 1. Long may you continue! 🎉

Nothing lays bare the absurdity of a landfill than having to explain it to a 4 year old.

Toddlers learning to say 'uh oh' is probably the high point of toddler adorableness, after that it's the inevitable slide back down into the 'terrible twos'.

Saved this absolute unit from my skylight this morning. #absoluteunits #dragonfly

These two look familiar....

Through the eldritch power of Facebook marketplace, I have finally completed my collection of @wyrdscience.bsky.social! 🎉

Had a good old time playing Arcs today. Kinda a more streamlined Twilight Imperium, Very good first impression, still took 6 hours. Definitely a book off a day game.

Youngest is ill so I've left work + got him from nursery and in 30min I'll have childcare so I can go back to work. But right now, while he's having a nap, I can hear birdsong in the garden and warm sunlight beams through french doors as I sit on the sofa, I wish this moment could last for eternity

Looking for the best examples of circular economy hubs in the UK - hit me up with your best orgs doing radical work around repair/reuse/recycling/training/community etc!

❤️ @chelt-hackspace.bsky.social ❤️

Had a great meeting this morning with @vision21glos.bsky.social including the ever wonderful @raechelkelly.bsky.social. Discussing @chelt-hackspace.bsky.social and both organisations future plans. Fingers crossed there may be some really cool stuff on the horizon! 🤞

How I arrived on Bluesky (and escaped from twitter)

I swear I've built this house before in Minecraft.

It's so nice not being in the office on a day like this. ☀️

Partners Mum stayed over last night and I realised that this is the first time someone has been in our house after 7pm in about 18 months. Makes me miss our old Libatious evenings of wine and boardgames with previously child free friends.

We like to look after our readers (& we’re also terrible at business & order spreadsheets)! But imagine this bounty turning up on your doorstep in the next few days, well you don’t have to imagine you can head to shop.wyrd.science & make that dream a reality Use the code WYRDWELCOME & get 25% off

Ordered some cool zines in the post. Accidentally got sent double cool zines in the post... Thanks @wyrdscience.bsky.social for being doubly cool I guess... #zinedad

My eldest apparently found a Transformers toy in a charity shop while out with his Gran. So of course now we've watched the first episode of the 80's Transformers and he's singing "Transformers, robots from the skies!" at the top of his voice. No matter how many times I correct him.

The child labour production line is in full swing for mother's day.

Got my last few things from the old unit. Glad to finally see the back of this place. Was a real pain in the...

I think I've got to the age where I need to stretch every day.
