Got the new footstool and its going to have a cat shaped dent in the cushion as it expands because Hammy has claimed it and refuses to leave.

I've run into a wee problem with my cross stitch. The fabric I chose is too close to a floss color used as highlight on the crow's beak and there's not a good DMC substitute. I ordered a few Cosmo floss hoping for a bit more contrast. Kudos to cross stitch designers. Choosing colors is hard!

Haven't spotted the ferals since we let them go and I know that's normal, but I wish I knew they were okay.

Starting my 10 days off strong with incessant whining and OCD reassurance seeking from Miss 12 while husband gives me advice on how to relax. Excuse me while I dig a hole in the floor so I can lower my expectations even further.

Love it when I remember something I need to add to the grocery order, open up my laptop and go to the website, and have already forgotten what I was going to add to the grocery order.

I'm in the mood for an #HistoricalFiction book to sink my teeth into. I've read Edward Rutherford and books like Chesapeake. Not really looking for things involving royalty or the world wars. Wadda ya got #booksky?

I know ACAB but can we make a tiny trophy for the cop who played Radiohead's Creep at a press conference about an ICE officer arrested for soliciting a minor?

Coworker said he was out tomorrow and all next week and I assumed he was on normal PTO and made a comment about making sure his TPS reports were done but apparently it's due to some type of family emergency so probably Office Space references weren't welcome. I'm always out of the loop.

this is because we don’t need food to survive. we’re like vampires, except instead of blood, we subsist entirely on tea

Nothing calms the ADHD chaos in my brain so I can focus on boring tasks like Enya. Been listening to her since I heard Book of Days in the movie Far and Away in 1992. I listened to her in high school to help me fall asleep at night and in college to help me study.

My postcard and sticker sets (all printed with designs of my original aerial embroidery landscapes) will be going live this Saturday (the 22nd) at 2pm GMT - all available in the full sets shown below! Full details will be on the listings: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #art

undocumented immigrants deserve to be protected and safe, regardless of immigration status

So this is an option, but this will also disabled tabs, spellcheck, etc. Because of course they need to try and force people to allow AI to scrape their content. I'm leaving it all off for now. Great way to finally get me to unsubscribe to all the junk email senders.

I have posted before about how my GLP-1 pretty much saved my life after covid, but I also strongly believe that people taking them should have access to mental health support, because these medications & discussion around them & how folks treat you would make it so very very easy to hurt yourself.

Today is an excellent day to restore Link’s account, as other people who did the exact same thing were only given short suspensions. He was one of the most positive voices here and he deserves to be reinstated.

Please help and share

If you aren’t throwing your whole weight behind supporting persecuted groups, I’m not voting for you.

Just imagining showing up to a worksite and someone saying this

Indian, when used by a non-Native to describe us, is derogatory. Many of consider it to be a contextual slur. WE will it: Indian Country, Indian hospital, when referring to ourselves and others Natives. But no one else should be using it to describe us! Block & report @eweissunburied.bsky.social

I have just learned the acronym STABLE (Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy) in reference to craft supplies, and it is so rude of the English language to call me out like that

If you're in Michigan, here are some organizations you can support in honor of #TransDayOfRemembrance. www.aclumich.org/en/transgend...

On this #TransDayofRemembrance, as we think of all those who have suffered and died needlessly because of the bigotry of a minority... ...it's a great time to think about how you can protect trans folks by speaking up and taking action in your community. #TransRightsAREHumanRights

Now THIS???? is a white man! this is how you white man!!!!!!!!!

This is quite the dichotomy, Etsy.

Things I finished making today. Available Friday night at Loxythemaker.com

Done with the first color! Started a bit of the next grey on the beak and cheek and am thinking it might be too subtle of a difference to act as a highlight. Will look at it again in the day and reassess. #WIPWednesday

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender.

Just had a piece of chicken that tasted too much like chicken.

If you've got your eyes on something for Christmas, please get your orders in as early as possible - I will be posting orders all the way through, but things will no doubt be slowed down with tariffs etc.

My goal for this holiday season is to buy 80% of all gifts from small businesses and artists. Having a kid means some mass market stuff is inevitable, but she's less interested in "stuff" these days so I might even be able to hit 90%.

My efforts to find dupes for Owl Forest flosses I need to complete some of their patterns is certainly building my floss stash, but unfortunately not with many dupes! I wish I could dye my own floss, but I get MCAS reactions just from touching some hand dyed stuff, so I don't dare. #CrossStitch

Fun thread. I want to hear everyone's weird experiences.

We released the hounds! (kittehs) Tabitha seems the most domesticatable of the two. I hope we can start to earn their trust over the next few months and get them inside or at least acclimate them enough to get them vet care occasionally.

Since I saved us $1000 bucks on a sofa, I was hoping to get myself a Lowery stand for Christmas, but it appears the ones I want are sold out everywhere. Bummer.

Once upon a time I was a nearly prolific illustrator of ancient life forms. Here's a sampling of this 🐡🎨 paleoart from the early 20's.

Please? #MutualAid We're going through every donation we get just for daily survival because its trickling in. Its been 2 days since the last & bills keep hitting. I need to have an EpiPen on hand. linktr.ee/wylder

First, the family whose vehicle we raised funds to replace yesterday? One of the things they need for the bus that is the home is a different safer heater. It's COLD at night here now. You do have to contact me for their shipping address. Details here: bsky.app/profile/wing....

It needs a teeny tiny paoer chain doesn’t it. Runs off to cut tiny pieces of paper up

SINCE THIS HAS COME UP AGAIN... WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND YOURSELF THE TARGET OF A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION.

Never did figure out where the error was. I just ripped out all the neck stitches and started over. 7 days of work to fix the mess caused by a single extra stitch.

Feeling sad to release the kitties out into the cold, still healing from their surgeries. I'm thinking of getting an outdoor heated cat house for them. This winter is supposed to be cold and snowy. :(

Get your shiny things in time for Xmas!

bowl season starts in December. bowel season is always.

Miss 12 just had a half hour meltdown because I asked her not to drop tissues on the floor for other people to pick up, so I guess today is a pick your battles day.
