Hate it when I make a test cup of something and discover that I really would have rather made a pot. #DSNTeaLab

The store that sells blank journals which makes you feel like a wizard when you write in them is having a 25% sale plus free shipping! #PenSky #BookSky www.etsy.com/shop/SlowArt...

Leia's Legacy (English Breakfast and Cinnamon) is finally back in the shop: tinyurl.com/j8r4yyrr

*glees because there was a box from @thevagabondtabby.bsky.social waiting on the table for them out in the Public Spaces* This is a thing that sparks joy.

Folklore folks! I'm looking for resources about crossroad lore. Anyone know of anything?

Reconstruction 2 is going to require a level of seizing assets that I am very comfortable with but you may still need to work through

Time to start a "Things that Need Names" thread here on Bluesky, I think. Fun was had on Twitter, back in the day... (1/?)

🌲 THE BIG CHRISTMAS GIFT THREAD! 🌲 If you are a creator or small shop/business, reply to this post with: - pics and a brief description of what you do (don't forget the alt text!) - a link or details on how people can buy I will boost you! Everyone else: buy the cool things! Repost this post! ⛄

There will be an update post on a variety of things as soon as I can manage to get it written (and recorded) - but in the short term - there's quite a bit in the Sale Bin, and it is already blended and on-hand.

Time for a new thread of new shinies! As usual, the shop can be found at www.etsy.com/shop/Lioness... Beginning on Thursday I will be shipping every two days, and then going to every day, so as to get people's shiny goodness to them as quickly as possible.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

#Booksky Our books are still on sale at DriveThruFiction! You can also acquire an ebook bundle featuring the Captain Ramos books by Alex Acks books and SSBA Award finalist TERROR AT TIERRA DE COBRE by Michael Merriam for the princely sum of $10! www.drivethrufiction.com/en/product/5...

This right here.

Loosely tea related: What are you hoping for from 2026? What are you expecting from it? (Reskeets appreciated.) #DSNTOTM #DSNTeaLab

I'm diametrically opposed to and repelled by marketing, so I painfully share that if anyone wants to give any of my few published crochet/Tunisian crochet patterns a shot, they're on sale on Etsy, and there's friendly and responsive live support available on Bluesky (namely me) 🧶 madstash.etsy.com

I have 2 of the non-sweary* tees ("Powered By Spite" and "Could You Not") and they are super fun to wear and also quite comfy. *(Being a kids' librarian in a small town means running into smol patrons all the damn time, sigh.)

I really need to rename my chocolate chai. Any thoughts? (Bonus if it comes with a fandom.) #DSNTeaNaming

If they want to slow down the Trump administration, Democrats should begin promising this *now*

One of those "someone wants me to know I'm loved" sorts of mail arrived yesterday, and it turned out to be a day where that level bright spot was sorely needed.

Some quick investigation on Psychopomp's site yesterday showed that they still have a *lot* of inventory for sale. This might be the perfect time to pick up some holiday gifts for people and help out a small business.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

I kinda wish that I had listened to this podcast prior. This first episode about Lord Byron has some really. pertinent. stuff.

The reason I mentioned this, though I felt too weird about it to say so yesterday is that if you subscribe before I get around to this you will get current prices with a slow monthly increase next year.

This is such a damn mood. 💯

Hey. Did anyone here attend the International Star Trek Convention in Washington, DC, January 1-4, 1976, or know one of its organizers? An editor at the excellent @fanlore.org site is looking for info on the con.

Sometime in the next few days I am finally going to get around to dealing with the price changes required to the Tea of the Month Club - due to the increase in the cost of shipping.

This book on Sofia Parnok has made me realize I have to read something on Russian mysticism of the late 19th century (beyond basic Theosophy and Khlysty stuff in the background) and probably about Eastern Orthodoxy as well. Uh. Got any nonfiction book recs?

...having to call the Tea Day early today. Apparently I have over-extended, physically, far too much this past week or two.

Any thoughts for what I should put together with Lapsang and Vanilla?

30 new things went up today including holiday themed things and stitch markers. All money spent here supports LGBTQIA+ artisans. Flat $4 US shipping. Thank you for peeks/shares! www.peculiarityshop.com

Current most ethical way to stream?

It would be nice if we could do recall elections for senators. And the president, for that matter, if I'm dreaming about things.

I have never used it. I have never written a prompt. I've never been tempted to. Every AI feature that I can turn off has been nuked on all devices.

Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

...I do not need more paper to write letters on. I don't.

There's also some ginger that was too large to be used in tea - and ginger doesn't cut down well once dry.

Me: "Okay, today we are going to finally tackle some of that deeply boring organization of ingredients that has needed to happen for MONTHS and Really Needs to Happen Now because we're bringing back long gone fruits." (1/2)

@ossipago.bsky.social Pardon if this is a weird question, but were you on Twitter with the same handle?

Another new addition? Nibs' mouse bone rings. www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...
