This Thursday. Coming to a podcatcher near you. The first episode of my brand new show - Roll by Myself! A biweekly solo actual play starring...me! And only me. Me being @shaghik.bsky.social. Here's a little teaser from the first episode. TW for creation of fictional major disaster?

VACCINES SAVE LIVES Vaccines ended the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines and other public health measures save the lives of millions of children worldwide. Do not let RFKJr and the Trump admin take us back to a time when 5 in 10 children died before the age of 5. theconversation.com/infectious-d...

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

Man it's a trip listening to @coolzonemedia.bsky.social podcasts (Better Offline, Behind the Bastards, Weird Little Guys) and hearing ads about blocking EMFs with magic pills. Also, the AI ones on BO are especially quirky. Oh, and I loathe the BMW one, gah it's so pretentious, car guys suck

It's nice to hand write a letter these days

Just ordering some turning kits for cheese charcuterie boards, craft fair coming up in May

I guess it's the bears' turn to govern now. First new ordinance in our parks: no lids on garbage cans

Our political leadership folks *evaporates into gaseous shame*

Good piece about how to (and if we can) verify photo and video authenticity in an age of "AI"-generated images and media. youtu.be/qO0WvudbO04

Guys, go on an adventure!

Dammit, I'm out of turning kits and it's too cold in the shop for glue to cure properly.

Keep calling!! Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard. 5calls.org

Just the usual morning routine: bagel, make some coffee, report incorrect geographic features on google...

Hell yeah, mushroom episode!

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

It’s been our general philosophy that when it’s, for example, Black History Month, we should simply be able to go to the stacks and pull relevant books and make a display, no special orders needed. If we can’t do that, we’ve slipped up along the way and need to reevaluate our ordering.

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

Remember a week or two ago when I questioned the wisdom of the Iditarod’s desperate devotion to the Willow restart when the conditions are so clearly unfit for a good race (and the welfare of dogs and mushers)? This is what the Farewell Burn is looking like with two weeks to race start.

Three mini flasks, and three pen/pencil sets. The pen/pencils are made of mahogany. The three flasks are Maple, mahogany, and Walnut. #woodwork #woodworking #penturning

It was a rough as shit week, but this one keeps me on a regular frisbee schedule
