Hubby and I watched Rental Family tonight, a breathtakingly beautiful film about human connection.

Remember, in your venture to eat better this January: A bacon wrapped vegetable is still a vegetable.

When I say “thank you for supporting my work,” I mean this kind of energy. 💖 #store

Good morning! Live and streaming over at the purple place, not gonna put a link because stuff never seems to get seen when I do that. Instead, please enjoy this picture of my son. Come on by and say hi if you have the want or need. I'm doing an art with some gaming later! Cheers!

Are there any #Packers fans who also like #dragons and #chainmaille?

Our government is a dumpster fire. I'm cleaning up the edges on shiny things to hopefully make people smile.

I was trying for strawberry milk dice and ended up with jello salad instead. I'll tweak the colors and method next time. #resindice #ttrpg

4665 words written for Reality Check's advent flash fiction pieces this month. Given how horribly I broke myself in the last week, that amazes me that I could do that much. i'm finally able to use my arms without losing sensation, though my nervous system is still out of sync. More rest, I know....

BAHAHA theonion.com/health-specu...

Fun fact: covid isn't seasonal. It's always mask season.

These Storm Mage dice have finished curing, so today they get the edges cleaned up the rest of the way, polish the faces, and then ink the numbers. I made a bunch of dice and then stored them away to cure for Midwinter. Now, the convention vending prep begins!

My hands are still a bit shaky from my flare, but I managed to make myself a piece of mask jewelry using some Strawberry Shortcake charms the twins gifted me.

Looking for some post holidays baubles? I still have a few of these left and only charging for the shipping! Times are tough and we all deserve pretty things that bring us any amount of joy at all. Cheers!

Lupus thoroughly kicked my ass after overdoing it to get everything ready for the holidays. I was in too much pain 23-25 to go see family who were in town and spent most of yesterday sleeping or seizuring. Today is better— and not just because my @mayakern.com skirt arrives.

“We were born astonished. We should never grow out of our astonishment.” — Andrea Gibson, poet, 1975-2025

Heh.

I'm grateful for all the artists and dreamers amongst my friends and acquaintances. You make this world a better place.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

I love my work beyond words. I have been doing it for 30 years now and pushed the boundaries of what I was taught to do as a teenager to include so much more. I have grown with my art and my art has grown with me. All I truly want in my life is to do my work & see people smile.

When my advent word list for today popped up with Red, I though I'd end up writing something holiday-themed. Nope. A vampire watching over his half-blood heir from afar as his bloodline curse activated.

Good morning - starting the week with this video from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 🙏 💚✊NYC (and America) has always been, and will always be, a home for all immigrants.

One Rainbow Ring Splints (Or three if you go by 8oz=one cup; I use a *big* mug) (I want to make my own wire wrapped ring splints to support my hypermobile joints and reduce injury.)

Nix' attention to detail through the entire process: design, creation, packaging, and shipping are all done with such care and love. I'm happy to own some of his creations as well as have commissioned others as gifts.

My Patreon flash fiction advent pieces set in the Reality Check world are in progress. I'm trying to stay two days ahead with posts scheduled for release, because life keeps turning sideways on me this year, and I'd really like to give back to my patrons for all their support.

Are y'all ready for #ThursThreads tomorrow? @krvanhorn.bsky.social is our judge and he's lookin' forward to your tales. #FlashFiction #WritingCommunity siobhanmuir.com/blog

Krampus seeks to add some names to the naughty list, and he starts by sending an anthropomorphic chili pepper to a librarian to help spice things up. Winter Heat, the first short story in The Krampus Collection is available now on Kindle Unlimited. www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4SQ8SGN

I never thought I'd be publishing short stories involving Krampus creating an anthropomorphic chili pepper, sourdough loaf, or deviled eggs, but here we are anyway. Merry Smutty Holiday Season, y'all. Winter Heat should be live later today or tomorrow. A sneak peek went to my Patreon yesterday.

The event we're vending at next week has swag bags for the first 50 attendees. Vendors were invited to add something to them. Hubby 3d printed a bunch of tiny dragons with remnant filament, and I'm going to adjust our business cards to attach with glue dots.

Find me on Nov. 29th in Racine, WI at the Big Christmas Shopping Craft & Vendor Show at the Delta Hotel from 11a-4p.

For every ‘Good Vibes Only’ sign made, a bad vibrator moves to the Island of Misfit Adult Toys to balance out the cosmic vibrations. The island is where all the bad vibes go: the ones that stop right before you come, the ones w/ buttons in awkward spots, the ones that are too loud....

Hoping to do a store run today. Need to stock up on candles, matches, lamp oil & other emergency essentials for the coming winter just in case things go sideways. Also need to get a few more bags of potatoes & some meats. If you'd like to help, I have baubles for sale! ko-fi.com/mcetching

Wyrm Embrace by STLFlix in a tricolor filament and coordinating chain to be worn as a shoulder rider.

I've been watching Witcher while doing dishes or sorting jewelry findings. Some of the dialogue has been the best writing yet in the series.

I'm rereading one of my published novels in hopes of finding a better marketing angle for it (other than Upload x SAO + Lesbians). I'd only planned on skim-reading it, but I was thoroughly caught up in several chapters as I went through the story as a reader instead of the writer.

Hey, here's that blog post + freebie I promised. (If you're just here for the free stuff, I get it - skip the to the very end of the article for the link or just head to my ko-fi 👍) www.alderdoodle.co.uk/blog/so-you-...
