Jerry wins the internet today. Everyone can go outside and play now.

You know it’s April in Maine when every post is ‘have you planted your peas yet?'

I had to upgrade the operating system on my macbook today, and now bluesky is autocompleting when I type. Is this macOS hell, or is this some fresh hell from bluesky? Also, how do I turn this shit off!!!!

The cool thing about having access to transit for your commute is you can decompress and read a book and get closer to home all at the same time.

Y’all need to read this

I laughed until I cried and then looked at the post again and laughed until I cried and then….a few more times OP for context: _______________________________ Rav‬ ‪@rvbdrm.com‬· 1h WE NEED BAD IRRELEVANT TAKES IMMEDIATELY FLOOD THE TIMELINE ________________________________

Since the world didn’t end tonight, I’ll go back to my usual thing of reminding y’all that I make pretty stuff, like these Pond Creatures pendants. Sterling silver with a bright green peridot gemstone. hennesseyjewelry.com/products/pon...

I assume that 3 is related to 5, and not to 1, 2, and 4.

I want this to be the headline on the front page of all the papers tomorrow.

Dow futures up almost 900 points since TACO

The Dow futures are up almost 400 points, so evidently The Street thinks today is just another TACO Tuesday.

@piratito.com Jes, have you seen the article about Potter in Smithsonian magazine?

Have you seen the Apollo 11 earrings and pendant that I make? #HandmadeJewelry #Apollo #EastCoastKin #Space #Moon

Because none of us have enough books. No, seriously, we all need more books!!!

WOW. Just WOW. Artemis II launch - airplane view. One of the replies sources the OP and their Insta account, too, so you can see even more if you have an account there. Hi, it's from ksmathandmore www.instagram.com/p/DWnO3IgjUrv/

There’s a Portland, Maine group over on facebook. Someone asked if the new Aldi is worth going to, and one of the replies was 'it’s not in a good area of town so you’ll run into all the “people” from downtown' It’s in the Lowe’s shopping center on outer Brighton, on the Westbrook border 🤣🤣🤣😡😡😡

Every single Democratic candidate needs to play this over and over and over and over until election day. Put it on your web sites, in your fundraising emails, play it before your speeches. This is how you win.

wandering back in to see what shitforbrains prattled on about tonight….

Since the subject today is Moon, here’s a moon goddess ring dish.

omg. Last Justice of the Mochicans... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 By the way, if you enjoy Elie’s style, you should read his books - Allow Me to Retort, A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution - Bad Law, Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America Both are on sale at Bookshop dot org, or find them at your local library.

This sort of observation is why I always run to Elie’s threads for SCOTUS play-by-play.

This is a wonderful explanation of the power of pre-ordering books. #BookSky

Pass it on...

I loved the book 56 Days, so was excited to discover it’s a series on amazon. Except…. Apparently they kept 3 characters’ names and that a body is found in a bathtub 56 days after the two main characters meet. Everything else changed, including who is in the tub. *sigh*

Bumping for the folks who missed this last night.

I’m starting a new thing - before I leave my jewelry studio I record a quick video of what I’ve worked on. I make a long version (a few minutes) and then a TLDR version that’s 30-ish seconds or less. These are going on youtube. Here’s my first one, TDLR version. You like? youtu.be/uDJOLJBUz6c

The master hub for this design came from a company that made jewelry in the late 1800’s, so it was probably created as a suffrage design. Over 100 years later, we still have to fight for Our Choice.

Read an article in the Bangor Daily News about towns reconsidering road repaving contracts because this stupid war has made paving materials more expense, and realized I have to live with a crappy driveway that badly needs replaced for another year because $$$. Fuck.

Wild applause to the @inquirer.com for the amount of shade thrown by this headline.

How exactly does this make the security lines go faster?

Turned on the game and the other team had bases loaded and I wondered if I was jinxing my team again this year, but then the batter went full count and was struck out, so maybe it’ll be okay for me to watch games. Happy Opening Day!! (did I mention I make baseball stuff?) #Baseball #OpeningDay

This might be the most Philly thing ever...

I overhauled the entire front page of my store tonight, renaming sections, redoing text, adding new sections, changing up photos, etc. so that stupid AI can better understand what I sell, and I did it without a back-out plan because sometimes I like to live on the edge.

If I can get to studio tomorrow night I might have to make a pair of earrings for myself for the Saturday protests 🤣

Inspired by that 7 day period every year where folks watch bears eat lots of food before hibernating (the name is trademarked 🤷)…..the Tahoma Agate stone looks like river rapids 🐻🐟⛰️ One of a kind pendant. #Metalsmith #HandmadeJewelry #SmithSky #Lapidary #Bear #TahomaAgate #OneOfAKind

I’m gonna go hit refresh on the lottery results page until they post tonight’s numbers, then get some sleep so I can go to work tomorrow because the jerks never pick my numbers. I mean, they DO pick them, just not all 6 on the same drawing 😂 Sweet dreams, y’all.

Check out this incredible Cogwheel Ocean Jasper!! It’s old stock; I bought the stone in 2012 and fussed with different designs over the years before deciding to go with something minimalist to showcase the stone. #Metalsmith #HandmadeJewelry #SmithSky #Lapidary #Cogwheel #OceanJasper

1/2 Read the Scarpetta books twice, first time as books came out, then a couple of years ago I re-read start to finish. Dorothy is a awful character in the books, in the show she’s beyond awful, and there’s way too much of her. On rewatch I’ll skip most of her scenes (like I do Nate in Ted Lasso)

Evergiven Day is tomorrow!!!!

21 hours away from the deadline for this special reward. Just need 2 more backers to reach it. You can find out more about my stories, and characters, and maybe even me. #booksky #kickstarter #flashreward

I’m all hash tag stone posted out for the night. It’s after midnight and I haven’t gotten around to the dinner dishes yet, plus I gotta get a good night’s sleep so I can spend the day tomorrow watching it SNOW!!!! Yeah, more snow!!!!! Sweet dreams, y’all.

Forgot to tag the Ocean Jasper post, plus I ran out of room. #BlueSkyArtShow #Stone #EastCoastKin

*slips in one more stone lesson before midnight* Ocean Jasper, from northwest Madagascar, is often green, pink, orange, and white, though it may have other colors. It has distinctive orbs. When those orbs resemble cogwheels, the stone is called Cogwheel Ocean Jasper. It’s rare, gorgeous, and $$$.

A skilled lapidary is a true artist. Tahoma Agate, found near Mount Rainier, has gorgeous scenes if one looks carefully. The man who cut these stones was a gifted artist: - a cliff on an alien landscape - storm clouds over a valley - river rushing over rocks. #BlueSkyArtShow #Stone #EastCoastKin

@piratito.com While at studio today I took a pic of a few of the 100+ cabs I’ve collected over the years. Hash tag life goal is to set all of them before I die, and that’s gonna take a long time 🤣

As a jewelry maker, a well-cut cabachon sets my heart racing and stokes a fire deep in me. There’s a reason some of us call this sort of picture ’stone p o r n’ 😉. It’s amazing that all of these came out of the earth. Detail pics and names in response posts. #BlueSkyArtShow #Stone #EastCoastKin

Mookaite is called jasper, but it’s silica based. 70+ million years ago skeletons settled on the ocean floor of what is now Western Autralia, eventually forming Mookaite. Normally red, yellow, and brown from iron deposits, sometimes it is pink or cream. #BlueSkyArtShow #Stone #EastCoastKin

Bumblebee Jasper was discovered in 1990s in West Java, Indonesia. Stone lovers snapped up this exquisite and vibrant yellow stone. I was lucky to acquire a few beautiful cabs back then; the stones available these days are *cough* crap. #BlueSkyArtShow #Stone #HandmadeJewelry #EastCoastKin

Re-watched the last season of Slow Horses and it’s both perfect and also the funniest season, so far.
