Do I *need* a teeny tiny rigid heddle loom? Nope. Do I *want* a teeny tiny rigid heddle loom? So so much. www.etsy.com/listing/4421...

This is what I mean when I say I have no idea what to do, and no way to plan ahead. I need to get March's rent in now before they make international shipping illegal or something. If you want a shiny thing, jump in here: oishiny.etsy.com

Wings for days! (Featuring everyone's favorite yellow-headed vulture, Mr. Sev! He's got quite a bit of spring fever right now even though spring is still a ways off here. Me too, buddy!) 🪶

Your plans for today just are incorrect if they aren't, "spend the afternoon consuming beverages and communing with the fine fine inhabitants of Blue Heron Farm." Really, it's well under an hour from most parts of Houston and totally worth the trip!

"Running like a fool". Rude!

So now you've all listened to my new podcast (i mean, obviously) PLEASE PLEASE do rate it on your pod app of choice. Especially Apple and Spotify. That then triggers it being recommended to new listeners. Otherwise they get pushed endless AI slop. Of course if you hated the pod ignore this post 😆

Good morning Saturday! I still have no idea what's going to happen with the tariffs but for now, I'm covering everything, so get your orders in before the mad tangerine decides you can't buy from abroad! oishiny.etsy.com #Handmade #ShopSmall

And now my air fryer is being Loud and rattling. If that's on its last legs I am just walking into the sea...

I found my other external battery! In the drawer with wire and wool, which makes no logical sense, but that would be why it was missing. (I bought 2 when the power was dodgy. 1 in my bag for my at the time old phone, and 1 I put "somewhere safe"...)

I am selling these 3 original watercolor paintings forr food. One is the OG "Mars' Bloody Stars" (7x10), a desertscape (3x4.8), "Dark Mornings" (4x6). $45 each. Get some orginal art & also keep a disabled queer trans artist fed? #Art #ForSale #Paintings paypal.me/rookkilljoy CshApp/Vnmo: foxrook

And I have one that you can use if you do

Who benefits from this? Waterstones (monopoly model, don't pay living wage) and Amazon (planet destroyers) and genAI. All the worst people.

The littlest raptor. Microraptor zhaoianus - less than a metre long and weighing around 1 kg - might not be most people’s idea of what a dinosaur “should” look like. Happily, nature doesn’t care about our preconceptions. This illustration is from my new book, “Ab Antiquo”.

Now, tonight's inventory selection. Today's featured masterwork is an old-style collar necklace with 5 pendants in royal lapis and turquoise [shown below]. We have an all-new cuff, featured here Sunday, in another spirit's form, also set with royal lapis and turquoise.

Since we have a lot of new followers, tonight I thought I'd give folks a chance to read our most infamous series with a "pay what you want" for the first 3 ebooks! Please read these actual bad reviews first so you know what you're getting into! Then pay what your heart wants! payhip.com/b/dxkA

Ye gods, Tumblr has a bunch of AI chat ads that are just flat out promising you don't have to be lonely because it won't leave you on read.. I know everyone worries about Kids These Days but I'm worried about what's being done to people's brains.

You will never be this comfy

Just sold a pair of #Keck Observatory earrings. Inspired by the OG segmented telescope in Hawaii 🤩 This design will be discontinued when they sell out. Only one pair of earrings left and 4 necklaces. Earrings: sciencesocks.co/prod... Necklace: sciencesocks.co/prod...#Keck 🔭🐡🧪🎨

Free, incredibly depressing, post on my Patreon rounding up my thoughts on the blizzards and the future

.............so if you're new, back in the day, the screamy self-promotion fee for a book release was gently smooching one of Shepherd's goats on the forehead. I do not like to smooch livestock. Sorry. It's a me thing. But now there are goats coming to my yard if we make Certain Sales Goals.

"Boss I can't believe you roped me into your marketing schemes" Have you preordered Sidequested yet?? Alas that Beamer and I no longer live close enough to participate but @kbspangler.com is committed to bringing goats to her immaculately landscaped yard if it sells enough! sidequested.com/book/

I made 46 new pieces of layered art! Each one is completely unique and hand painted. There are 2 new collections! The Forest Moon collection and the Mountain Axe collection!

I need an employment lawyer

Periodic reminder that most anti- sex trafficking NGOs deliberately conflate sex work with sex trafficking in order to muddle the issues and deny sex workers human and labor rights. They also receive govt money (your tax dollars) to force women into their diversion programs.

Keeping Watch at the Cape May Ferry Terminal. There’s something truly special about seeing our national bird right here at the shore. It never gets old!

Tell you what, when we hit 1,000 pod subscribers for The Untitled History Podcast then we'll do animals and spaceflight as a topic. Chickens and tortoises will feature.

Getting to the end of S4 of Person Of Interest. It's interesting how physical a character Root is. I joked about her and Shaw being like if Drusilla picked up Faith as her knight but Root is very, very capable in herself.

One of the deepy frustrating things with how *ridiculous* the US is right now is not knowing how to manage it. I can't panic at every scenario, it's OTT and ends up being boy who cried wolf. But on the other hand, there's zero indication what to take seriously and what not.

Occasional reminder that in addition to following my bliss on making ridiculous yarn bowls, I also use those yarn bows to hold yarn for cool stuff! Which is a convoluted way to tell you that now is a great time to join the Tree-Rex waiting list ☺️ measuredandslow.studio/treerex-samp...

Hedone was run by perpetual non-payer Caitlin Marceau. Avoid this editor when they inevitably launch their next project. To all Hedone authors affected, you have my sympathies and I’m sorry this is happening to you.

Mira Grant, £2.99 on kindle if you're in the UK. (Buy it tonight. Read it tomorrow in the daylight.)

This is what they want you to think but we all know they do it purely to harass joggers in the park. With malice aforethought. (Excellent picture.)

Here's our free comics explainer on what tariffs used to be compared to what they are in the Trump Administration, which is basically "whatever he feels like i dunno give him a bribe" in zine form. www.patreon.com/posts/civix-...

and oh MAN does she have a backlist!!!!! Paranormal romance! Urban fantasy! Thrillers! Horror! YA! Middle Grade! She got me to read a contemp rom com with a hockey player hero & a romance writing heroine, and it was *so good* & those are all things I always swear I will NEVER READ, AND YET!!!!

I am sorry but this is still the core problem with trying to parse anything he says about tariffs.

Trump is apparently responding to "Your tariffs are illegal" by... adding more tariffs. ...I'm not saying you should order pendants from me before they make international shipping illegal, but at the same time... oishiny.etsy.com Can I get March rent in before the US bans "abroad"? #Handmade

I'm not going to hope that I'll get reimbursed, being foreign, but damn that would be nice. But, this does mean I won't have to put my prices up - I've been holding out, so we'll see.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Every time I see a weird house listing discussed, I wonder if my grandparents took the heavy duty locks off the big bedroom door before they moved... (It belonged to some of the cats/me. We had bars on the window because pub safe, so with internal door locked we could leave window open* for cats.)

My brother was so annoyed when he asked my bird nerd partner what that yellow-headed blackbird was called and got "yellow-headed blackbird" in response. "Why are half the birds things like blue jay and the other half are things like Johnson's marsh swooper?"

Let me know when it *actually* comes into effect. (Probably just after I've finished training my local post office about tariffs...)

I was trying to get us over 500k whistles shipped in Feb this morning, but that was like 8 hours ago so now we're at 522,875 shipped, because THAT IS HOW WE DO IT. It seems impossible you could be following me and not know where to get whistles, but. I mean. If you don't... linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

I'm tired of being this exhausted. The doctor inists it's my heart, not the meds, but I feel worse than I did off them - will see what results say at the end of the month. First things first, need some sales ASAP so I can order more supplies, can't wrap without wire or stones. On we go!
