Happy book day to my friend and her wonderful hound! Curses and Curtains series is a good, light-hearted but also snarky romp in the middle of a Venn diagram made from musicals and fantasy.

Can’t wait! Also, everyone on the right side of the poster looks like they could be a Doctor Who and everyone on the left looks like a companion.

This is the third time I’ve started knitting something. Hopefully it will be my first finished project.

Farm fresh chicken egg. But it’s color-changing? I held onto this for a minute while talking to my husband and it went from green to blue where my fingers were! Green/blue eggs were already cool enough, they didn’t need to enchant me further.

I ordered more books. Do I have space for them? In my heart and head, yes. In my house? Nope. They are mostly field guides for wildlife and plants, so technically they will be with me outside, right? That saves space, right? 🫣

Homemade applesauce, homemade sauerkraut, homegrown sunflower sprouts, and dry rub pork chops. I haven’t enjoyed pork chops this much before.

This entire thread made my day. Unfortunately I tried to relay these amazing facts to my husband who did not tell me he was on a call and there was a moment when the other end might have heard the phrase “migratory testicles”.

I'm going to do a tiny 🧵this morning about my freelancing gigs! Not only can reblogging these help me find more business, just clicking into them for a look around can help my search analytics! Here we go! First of all, my Fiverr profile (may ask for login): www.fiverr.com/s/lj01yy7

First #sprout harvest! I only had to remove 7 hulls because my #adhd family found it very satisfying to pick them off whenever they walked by and there were hardly any left. Maybe I should grow tiny trays of sprouts and offer them instead of fidget spinners. #gardening #homesteading

I'm a very big marshmallow of a human who was born in a time when I had to adapt to mounting cruelties or be swept away by them. I mourn for the soft and fuzzy I could have been sometimes, but that's not how it went, so Bitch Face it is.

I will be participating in the economic blackout and not buy anything from midnight Thu to midnight Fri. And I’m looking forward to it! This is kind of why I started building up a pantry and canning: I want to go a long time without having to spend money. www.axios.com/2025/02/25/e...

First Romeo button press! I don’t think he associates the word with what it means, but he intentionally pressed the button, if only to see my reaction. He is our most curious pet. Only Bagheera, our oldest at 15, has not pressed a button yet.

More seeds! This time I’m starting microgreens: sunflower sprouts and a 3 bean mix of lentils, peas, and adzuki. #homesteading #gardening

Very excited about these talking pet buttons. Nova and Peaches are interested. Romeo just loves the box they came in. Bagheera is too interested in yelling at me for food to notice the buttons. #talkingpet #fluentpet

Are you interested in this fine fantasy literature convention (June 13-15 in Minneapolis)? Do you have some ideas about what kind of panels you'd like to see, or perhaps even participate in? Would you like to make those ideas /my problem/? Then please, email [email protected] !
