I forgot that @bookshop.org is on here, so in case you don’t know about them: You can order books online from them and they’ll sell and ship them to you from a nearby privately-owned bookstore. All the convenience of online shopping but you support a small business!

A little reminder that writing & being a homeparent IS real work, and supported my family better during those years than driving to a fast-food job would have done. Working Parent is book 2 in my series of real life stories! books2read.com/workingparent

Realized I should update that this is now ungated. Everyone can now read, without subscription, the article that one reader described as having "about as close to a plot twist as one will ever see in a review essay." (I loved that comment, which has been making me smile since I read it.)

Instead of another recipe for lentils, today I'll share this link for websites with lots of recipes and better ideas for meals.

*ahem* To parents & sibs: you ARE allowed to be a mortal human, get sick, or even die, but NOT allowed to need help & hide that from me even if all I can do is not be mean to you.

This 3D printed animatronic necklace concept really did come to life! Sometimes when you're sketching it can feel like the reality is a million miles away. But every journey has to start with a single step. I'll be running demos at @hackaday-feed.bsky.social Supercon 2025, be sure to come say hi!

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

Just sending out my thanks to folks like @kristadb1.bsky.social & @skyladawn.ca who support veterinarians. Buy their books -- they're great! One of the vets in my town was prosperous enough to help my neighbour be able to afford end-of-life care for her cat.
