This isn’t hard. In fact, many companies are capable of firing up to 30,000 workers via email.

Came back to the office after a few days out and found these super cute gifts from a couple lovely friends, who make sticking around worthwhile. Best gifts since another gave me Iron Maiden socks that I sneak under my dressy work clothes.

Went a little overboard with the violets this year. Violet honey, violet syrup, violet sugar, and homemade Parma Violets candy.

Astronomy on Tap at Lansing’s makerspace tonight! I hear there will be tacos again this year.

Easter breakfast redone as Tuesday dinner due to a sick person on Sunday. My MIL makes delicious Polish white borscht, with separate bowls for blessed and unblessed items. I especially love the horseradish.

Indian food + Azul with friends = great day.

Picked up an @msusurplus.bsky.social copy of Christina Rossetti’s poems today thinking it would give me a chance to finally use a bookbinding kit I bought awhile back, but it’s beyond a simple glue up and/or stitching repair. Now I’m trying to decide if I can patch the spine or need to start fresh.

Someone in my office put these little duckies everywhere for April Fools’ Day and we’re all so starved for joy that everyone is genuinely excited about it.

I’m the neighborhood weirdo outside picking violets in the rain and almost dark to make violet sugar. There are so many!

Still a few spots left to spin molten silver into a pretty thing. #lovelansing

Joined a full house at Lansing’s makerspace tonight and had fun making a hideous ornament for a coworker’s retirement card. Trying to get back to my real outside-the-office life.

Nice to go for a walk in the sunshine and run into some friends today in Lansing, Michigan.

Five bands I’ve seen more than five times: Olivas-era Savatage Tool Refused Puscifer Bloodywood

I’m back from Japan, but my brain is not getting the message and I’m still sleeping about twelve hours off. Anyway, here are a few pics from the Lucky Cat Temple in Tokyo for #Caturday.

I’m in Tokyo (!) and just spotted Zohran Mamdani on the Shinjuku giant cat billboard. Good job to folks back home!

Share your favorite covers as a timeline cleanse. (Any excuse to share Bloodywood.)

The Flint Institute of Arts has an exhibition “MI Ink: The Art of Tattoo” highlighting Michigan talent and tattoo history. It’s pretty fun and not what you’d typically see at an art museum. I was so excited to see a What We Do in the Shadows tattoo!

I couldn’t decide which was funnier tonight, a grasshopper jump scaring me or catching a couple in the act, but I was just picking arugula leaves in the near dark when a raccoon came around the corner and we were almost face to face before it took off. I’m not sure which of us was more startled! 🌱

Street art edition

Another Flint mural. This is by Kevin Burdick/Scraps Design and is in the alley next to the Capitol Theatre, one of my very favorite places.

New mural going up behind Blackstone's in Flint.

This evening’s garden wildlife sightings. 🌱

If you’re at #DragonCon, stop by and say “hi” to Jody!

After wrapping up a mess of a project (months of working as fast as I can, tons of extra hours, firehose of updates), last night I had Kerrygold butter on graham crackers for dinner and watched an embarrassing number of Pyaari cat dress up videos. Please send an adult.

My kitchen has become endless ever-changing piles of drying herbs and flowers, especially for salts and teas. Cookie sheets in the stove, cutting boards layered on pans, half-filled jars everywhere. It smells wonderful. 🌱🍜

My first time harvesting fennel pollen, although I have no idea what I’ll use it for. I left lots for the wasps that are all over the plant. 🌱

looks effin delicious! — 16. #aughost: bad — #aughost2025 #ink #art #drawing #puka #öhrchen #kleinekunstklasse

I continue to drag my poor partner onto every carousel we encounter. He’s very nice about it.

Cute little pollinators at Crossroads Village in Flint.

Seeing the sights of Bay City, Michigan. Got excited about bats decorating a building, but on closer inspection they were just eagles.

Super quick garden haul since the air quality is so bad. 🌱

I voted! Yay and hooray!

Last day of Gen Con 2025. I got to meet and talk with so many cool people. So much fun. Thanks all so much! If you have the energy and time, stop by the Gamer Concepts booth 1317. We may have something you might like.

Definitely not helping with the air quality in mid-Michigan.

More northern Michigan weirdness. Giant metal heads and the “World's Largest Steering Wheel.” The signage was vaguely threatening, so we didn’t get very close.

I feel extremely anxious in rural northern Michigan, but the roadside sights are top notch. Spotted today: a large skeletal chicken, life sized fiberglass bear and metal buffalo, a scarecrow riding a tractor, and signs for a “gospel tent revival,” elk crossing, and Amish buggy crossing.

Some things change. Some things don’t.

Up north hanging out with the duckies.

Roads in Lansing, Michigan, are the most flooded I’ve ever had to deal with. Stay home for a little while if you can.

Nightly firefly update: They are everywhere and I’m still terrible at recording them.

Blink!

The Stamp King, the last stamp dealer in the city of Chicago, is that it is exactly what you imagine it would be: chaotic and jumbled, a space navigable by exactly one person, the Stamp King himself. Written by @dansinker.com dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

What the heck is this little guy? A katydid? Its camouflage is so good it was very nearly added to the compost! 🌱

Giving blood in Flint, where they have a brand new machine that calculates your hemoglobin without a finger poke. And the ceiling tiles are always a good distraction.

At Lansing’s Makerspace making some of my worst ever cutting boards. Did a terrible job on the glue ups. Didn’t realize I had made bad angles on the jointer. @stablechaos.bsky.social tried to help me plane them into something useable. Gifts for my mom and stepdad, who won’t care anyway.
