Happy weekend! Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! 🐙❤️ Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

If getting a @self-induljennt.bsky.social commission or adopt a sketch has been something you’ve been thinking about, I absolutely think you will love it. I feel so lucky to have had this drawn for me. 💖. The stickers are also fabulous.

4 years ago was marvelous. But let’s not forget 3 years ago. I love us. 🏴‍☠️💕

Saved from 4 years ago today

I’m Missa. My sexuality is sapioasexual. I rarely think about my gender. My fashion sense is all about wearing clothes my mother would have hated.

Is anyone else having a problem saving photos from Bluesky? On my iPad when I click on the three dots, which are new, it flashes “save photo” then disappears. I redownloaded the app and restarted and it’s still not working. It works on my iPhone 🤷🏻‍♀️ Frustrating. Photo because its so weird and cool.

Quilt in community room at John Campbell Folk School. F#ck AI.

@shearwater-bird.bsky.social Look, Robin Stede🥰 (not my photo but soooo sweet)

@judysoranges.bsky.social This made me think of you as I know you love these guys and like to laugh, and live close enough to the city that it’s within reach. www.theatermania.com/news/review-... Of course it’s for anyone curious.

In case you’re not on Threads. 😎🏴‍☠️💖

This feels like an AU. Stede is horrified to find out the short life span of manikins so buys them up. And dresses them up in his auxiliary wardrobe. Ed finds him somehow, finds him by intriguing, makes double entendres Stede doesn’t get… you know how it goes. 🤭😎

I love when teachers write teachers. And I love everything from @mustardwrites.bsky.social so snuggling in on the couch quite delightedly.

Tag yourself. Senior Pet👵🏼

Hi all! I’ve been dyeing everything I can get my hands on & have two pieces of show and tell.The dress is my attempt at tentacles,achieved by folding and clamping and ice dyeing.I made the scarf for a neighbor and she got arty with the photos. Inadvertently mussel-y. Hope everyone has a nice weekend

Loving this. Definitely click on the link to see the delightful inspiration drawing.

This is very cool. Remember when a lot of us got witchy and made altars and charged them up on a full moon? Mine’s still up. 🕯️🕯️🕯️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️💖💖💖

Happy Taskmaster Day to those who celebrate!🥳

This. It’s perfect. (I don’t know if this is a screenshot but it’s the only one I could find)

I’m Missa. I’m a craft slut. Found the show early on, went to ECCC and had the best time meeting Con, Kristian, and Nathan, and lots of lovely fans. Elder. Retired teacher. Learned some pretty key things about myself because of OFMD. Grateful to be here with you all.It’s about belonging to something

Ok, I’m having the best time rereading this and in amazement at the magic that is a well done SMAU. I’ve got group chats, tweets both public and private, and stretches of prose. If you missed that phase of fic I urge you give it a try. It’s a special kind of storytelling. Happy for recs of others. 🐝

Apparently it’s International Day of the Bee, and it made me nostalgic for Liquid Gold. Thinking that newer folks may not have seen it, and it’s a great example of a SMAU. It’s also sweet and beautifully visual. archiveofourown.org/works/409316...

Falling in love…

Another opportunity to see Being Billy online for free 😍❤️ (you only need to register at the festival page and "buy" the free ticket) #ConONeill #BeingBilly cbff.sparqfest.live/en/2026.00/b...

I always repost faithfully. Did you know Eddie Peaches has stuff on Red Bubble? All super cute.

This afternoon I was catching up on this marvelous podfic of this gorgeous story. One of my favorite modern Ed & Stedes. Reading teacher muscles never go away so I’m gently offering this to you. Thanks @kninjaknitter.bsky.social and @amuseoffyre.bsky.social archiveofourown.org/works/820228...

My first saved Ed

Any one else have an existential crisis when it looked like bluesky had just melted away? And I’d lose you all? Just me?

Ok, this was the chapter that really made me homesick and nostalgic for my teen years. So much Donna Summer. So many mustaches. Such short shorts. @unfunpleasures.bsky.social and @citrussyndicate.bsky.social are a perfect match. Read this story for some sweet gents in a cool time and place. I❤️NY

Took a one day class to learn how to assemble stained glass. The pieces were all precut by our teacher and we learned how to foil, solder, and came. Mine came home to join the little monstera I innocently bought at Trader Joe’s, and who may well take over my apartment 🙄🤭

I know Rhys himself didn’t really send me an email titled You Wear Fine Things Well, but I’m going to pretend he did.

You’re trapped in the last TV show you watched. Where are you? Gladly😎

Wishing everyone the Friday you need. 🫂. Here are my recent scarves. In my never ending search for tentacles, I’m chuffed with both of these. The colors are lovely in person. Silk is magical. Thanks for letting me share my show and tell.

This is a marvelous start inspired by a great drawing. Perfect if you’re in the mood for some sweetness.

Paul McCartney is one the good ones. This is for @thesecatbandits.bsky.social and anyone else who might enjoy it. youtu.be/zNQY-zIL4zg?...

I just wanted to thank @happydaiz.bsky.social and @kninjaknitter.bsky.social for keeping me such good company. I live alone and am retired so I can go days without a conversation. Which is really hard sometimes. But these two lovely people read me stories while I make art and alone gets less lonely❤️‍🩹

For @ghostalservice.bsky.social and anyone else who likes a nice sky. Hope everyone is adequate today 💕

Feel like spreading some cheer. Here’s a commission by @neslee.bsky.social I asked to see the Little Captains dance. I mean,please 🥹🏴‍☠️💖

16th Mothers Day without my mom. Our relationship wasn’t always easy as I was dealing with things we didn’t understand, but she supported my general quirkiness as best she could. If you’re with your mom today, give her some extra love for those of us without ours for whatever reason.

Rhys is in here at minute 35. He’s adorable as usual. youtu.be/pLVIlP1lSqY?...

I saw The Sheep Detectives and really enjoyed it. I’m not very objective because I’m a wool-spinning mystery fan, but it was witty and well done. It deals with heavy subjects gracefully and I think anyone over 8 would enjoy it. Rhys and lots of cool folks voice the sheep. A great old fashioned film🐑

Favorite OFMD meme? I use this the most

That Remarkably Bright Creatures and The Sheep Detectives are basically coming out on the same day feels like a gift for me. Violet, at the aquarium, now released back into the Puget Sound. My friend Lonnie’s sheep in Shetland. 💖

I just had a magnificent fan fic experience. I have loved this story since it started and was lucky to gush at @amuseoffyre.bsky.social at airport con. I’m loving listening to the podfic by @kninjaknitter.bsky.social and something in the most recent chapter pays off in the beautiful update and I’m 🥹

I love this and will always post it. Surely there’s a fic in this.

I just remembered that when I was 11 and beginning to learn Spanish at school, I made a whole set of furniture out of toothpicks and glue, and labeled them in Spanish. No one asked me to, but I worked on it for hours. Laughing because it only took 50 years to figure out I am autistic.

Hi all! Our beloved @therealcononeill.bsky.social has been nominated as best actor for his brilliant performance in Being Billy. I have seen it and it’s remarkable. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Back at the dyeing. I’m combining ice dyeing with scoured organza, and it does some really cool things. It’s very unpredictable because these dyes aren’t intended for silk so serendipity is involved. Folds and circles. I promise I did not intend to make something tentacular but I absolutely will now
