Made this yesterday and it’s a small milestone for me because this bracelet is entirely made of components I crafted. It’s my very first clasp and while it’s rough, it’s holding today at work. I’m rather proud of it. I want to make more! #jewelry #chainmail #handmade

Can we PLEASE get more practical effects in horror movies?!? 😭

SINNERS IS NOW ON NETFLIX!! If you haven't seen this film yet, do yourself a favour and watch it asap!!

I'm looking at damage reports and pictures from last night, and omg. What an awful end to so many people's 3-day weekend.

new lament configuration just dropped

In case you missed it earlier:

In Ye Olde Days of high school creative writing, we were passing around copies of our work for peer critique. One kid grabbed mine, glanced through the first couple paragraphs and asked, "Is [char] gay?" When I said yes, he dropped it on the floor and said, "I'm sorry. I have standards."

Twitter has now started to collect palm scans and face ids as biometric data required to log in to your account “to verify you are human” it claims it’s not storing this data, but do not do this!

my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up

My kingdom for a YouTube search function that actually works 😫 What I search: DIY PolyMorph monster claws What I get: Wolverine claws, paper origami claws, hot new nail art trends, paper nails, fursuit claws (which... is closer to what I want than the rest of the results, but not quite).

Oh, the explanation of why the company is closing is heartbreaking. If masculine dress shoes are your thing, check them out, buy something.

its just possible there'd have been 50% less devil dog encounters if they hadn't been flavouring the beer with henbane

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

In case you missed it earlier:

I think we should bring back waking up on Saturday mornings and watching cartoons.

Wig dyed, wool in the dye pot, necklace fixed, customs label made for tomorrow... p'rhaps it's writing time?

A friendly reminder: fuck Ed and Lorraine Warren forever.

Hey, guess what? The new story's live on Ko-Fi! Ochlophobia, or An Average Family Christmas is a short story based on real events. This is the link to the PDF; there's an epub version available as well (and if you need a different file type, just shout!).

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

It's time.

Do I know anyone looking for a very experienced sound editor / mixer / drama editor, worked for the BBC, etc? Got a mate who's having to take six months out of his PhD due to a shoulder issue and operation, looking for work. He is terminally offline but has showreels.

Our neighborhood's fireworks got shut down after 10pm due to severe thunderstorms coming through 😊

I've spent too long staring at this screen today. The small letters are making my eyes cross and droop. I'm calling it. I'll start again tomorrow. The bed is whispering my name.

"stop being cringe" i would rather die fucker

The security guard at the door:

Fucking fireworks and the jackasses that light them... 🤬

Do Roombas dream of electric sweep?

So a little birdie has in fact confirmed to me just now that there is indeed a new short story dropping in Stellan's Ko-Fi shop tomorrow. Keep your eyes ready because this one's straight anxiety from start to finish.

as is tradition 🇱🇷🧎🇱🇷🧎🇱🇷🧎

Had to start over because it saved incorrectly 🙃 plus now I'm down to one hand to do so with because a dog decided to slam herself down on my working arm.

Urgh, reformatting the epub 'cause the conversion went wonky, and this isn't really how I wanted to spend my Saturday afternoon.

I attempted chainmaille exactly ONCE and it was HARD and all I was trying to make was a super simple 3” chain, this is beyond amazing www.32auctions.com/organization...

Coming soon from @filthyloot.bsky.social 9 stories collected from 2020-2025.

😭😭 it is *at least* as bad as I feared. Like, might require professionals level of bad.

I'm about to throw my phone in the lake... in the last 45 minutes, I have had 14 notifications minimum. I am trying to focus on editing despite my anxiety. This is incredibly annoying.

Here's a link to my Ko-Fi shop, because where else can you get a short horror story about trying to survive a tornado with a stranger in your storm shelter AND some weird original art (including one painting that has a tornado in it)? Help me get a bass guitar and a new tattoo below:

Today we're tearing the bathroom floor open, and I'm super anxious about it. Cross your fingers for me that it won't be as bad as I fear.

Sharing with alt text, but also to say that this here is no joke. As far as I know, Ravelry was the only social media that banned MAGA on the first term. #knitsky #crochetsky

Bleh. I'm still at it due to the number of interruptions absolutely murdering my focus... The formatting's mostly done, at least, but the editing bit is taking a while.

Ellipsus keeps booting me backwards to my last save point while I'm trying to edit this collection, and it's starting to get a little bit frustrating.

I'll put it this way: in my 31 years, I've never identified with the US as a whole. Nor have I ever identified with Utah or Oklahoma. I barely even identify as human.

I fucking hate summer. Fuck the sun. Fuck the heat. Fuck the mosquitos. Fuck the swamp ass. Fuck the boob sweat. Fuck people that don’t use deodorant. I want my fog and snow and eerie coldness back. FAWK

I fear we were too hard on the CD Cenobite. A beautiful creature who really embodied the pain/pleasure of being a dedicated lover of physical media.

Formatting and editing, editing and formatting... plus I need a cover :/ (I'll do that tomorrow, I think)
