These games are so actually incredible that I have to share this!

There were laws forcing Black Women to work outside the home even if their husbands could afford them staying at home. Meanwhile middleclass white women were fighting to be allowed to work. Controlling women is always the point of EVERYTHING concerning laws and custom regarding women. Period.

Rhythm Heaven NOW

Voting will not solve everything. It is not the sole solution. There are no easy solutions to any of these things anymore. But it IS necessary, and we are going to fight for the right to vote for as long as it is being unfairly denied.

On the last day of Pride Month, happy Trans Pride, now and forever and ever and ever, Amen.

Timely & helpful reminder, given today’s horrible, predictable legal decisions:

I’m back home! Didja miss me? Reyn me in

One of the strongest recommends I can give - chat and I found a whole new secret last week which is involving me drawing paper maps with colour coding and RIDDLES I’ve genuinely filled an A5 notebook with scribblings and I hope that in the future someone does an art exhibition of everyone else’s 👀

Listen y'all @moryan.bsky.social gets me, this is my platonic ideal of a flower and it's blooming in my garden now. 😍

Really excited about these Buy it Nows that I'm about to upload! Thanks to some whistle crew friends who printed the stencils and the matching pens, I have assembled a word count tracker journal package: journal, stencils, pen & day/date stickers! We'll have 2 different colors!

We made it back from Hawaii, and oh good, here is the jet lag

TAPPING THE SIGN

1/2 " I'm just mad about saffron ..." In this case, a juvenile saffron finch. Standing on lava (Hawai'i) In Donovan's case - See below (comment) I don't see many yellow birds in the wild., but what a mellow yellow here. Mellow yellow... 🍌 🎶 #Saffron […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Has anyone else seen that trailer for the mice and eyeballs game, or was that a fever dream?

Also the first two have MURDER GIRLFRIENDS. And also a dragon boyfriend, but Ash knows we’re there for the murder girlfriends and he’s good with that because so is he 😂

This is an amazing series and a steal! Happy book day, fellow fans of chaotic-erotic sea gods. (Read Daughter of Tides!)

As part of the fight against the national book bans, we've made candidate scorecards for the original sponsors of HR 7661. If any of these Representatives are running in a race in your district/state, you can use these cards to help inform your community. This is gonna be a big old thread...

Also allows people’s mute words to kick in. I don’t want to look at spiders or blood*. If you properly alt text things without being coy (don’t say “eight legged tapdancer”), Bluesky is far more accessible to people with phobias and PTSD. *By this I mean I will scream uncontrollably or faint

Today, I took a moment to reflect on the simple joys of things I’ve liked since childhood. I didn’t have “grownup tea” this morning; I sat on a porch swing this afternoon. Life goes on

In spite of the circus at the peoples house tonight may I bring some love and light? My share is that the fennel I intentionally planted for the swallowtails is being used to its purpose. Peace and love to you all 🌱

Reminder that if you preorder Prince of Storms from one of the indie bookstores at our link below (Tropes & Trifles in Minneapolis, The Ripped Bodice in NYC/LA, or Love's Sweet Arrow in Chicago) you'll get ONE OF THESE GORGEOUS BOOKMARKS!

If I went to a party today, I would stand next to the sink and talk about Xenoblade Chronicles the entire time

I don’t know her name Doodle

Xenoblade Genesis Xenoblade Mega Drive Xenoblade 32X

Bramble’s one year old today wtf

Oh hey, it’s my home state, along with an accurate quote that made me laugh. (I live farther north than the land in this photo—we’re close to Georgia, so have more pines and more obvious diversity of flora—but I’ve camped or hung out in plenty of places that look like the photo below.)

This bird is not a bird, it is a fairy 🪶

I just accidentally created a minor recurring character: a cat who wears a necktie collar because he has a job. That's it, that's the character. (His name is Tortellini) #ocsky

Because a few folks have asked, I am fine and at the moment I do not need any cash (I am clinging to the edge but I'M CLINGING) but if you want to enable my unhinged garden hijinks, I do have a list of things I'm going to buy myself if anthropic money drops or something. lol amzn.to/4o9DK6w

If you give me the name of a gay video game, I might buy it in the next 3-10 days and give my impressions at a future date. But don’t let me tell you how live your life.

Introducing the first of our short stories featured in Common Bonds 3: You, Me and the Sea by Lucie Mason! Absolutely great approach to the mermaids' song from an aro lens~ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

Happy Pride Month folks 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ It’s a bit shit at the moment but the LGBTQIA+ community continue to be a beacon of hope, light and joy across the world - keep shining 💚 (If you disagree with the above, then you’re a knobhead and you can fuck off 🥰)

Wisdom of the Sea and Stars 🌊🌟 #art #mermay

Do me a favour? Since I missed #BandcampFriday, please recommend five songs, preferably by different artists. Any genre, but I’m getting tired of nihilistic gloom. Bonus points if the singer: • is female; or • doesn’t sound exactly like Robert Smith, Ian Curtis, or Carl McCoy. 𝘕𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴. 🖤

Sorry if it offends you that HuffPost rubs me the wrong way most of the time

Had no idea this bluebird was taking off to catch a tiny bug until I got the picture onto a larger screen later. Thought he just had somewhere else to be. #BirdOfTheDay #FirstWingbeat #BusyBirds 📷🌿🪶

Why does creamy Jif phosphoresce upon exposure to UV light?

I’m about to start Lumines arise tonight!

Yes but also no. Various agricultural studies have shown that livestock and crops do better under solar panels - as do the insects pollinating plants - mostly due to providing available shade for ecosystems to thrive.
