Dave!!

Uncharacteristically nice weather for mid-November (78°F, clear and a slight breeze), so taking advantage it by enjoying a cigar on the porch with @desertbus.org #DesertBusForHope

I got two shirts, but only one sticker. How can I get a second sticker, so my spouse and I can each have one?

I just saw Sinners on Sunday. Damn good film. Fantastic score and soundtrack

Three years as a Crafter was a good streak.

My dice helped raise about $25,000 for @childsplaycharity.bsky.social, and I’m pretty damn proud of that.

And I’m already thinking over ideas for next year!

While I’m a little bummed to not be part of the #DBCraftAlong for @desertbus.org this year, I know a bunch of my Internet Friends are gonna be making amazing things that I can’t wait to see!

Compost the rich.

We had a busy week, let's recap!

🎨 Craft-Along Submissions: Open now through May 27.🖌️

There’s no rule that says dogs can’t Pope

And of course, the slow pour

Vacuum-degassing, part 2

Vacuum-degassing silicone is always so satisfying to watch

A set of polyhedral dice and a few LEGO pieces, in a box to be filled with silicone

Prepping to apply to the @desertbus.org #CraftAlong for #db2025 means it’s time to make a new dice mold!

I liked him as Dr. Strange

Those sure are all words.

Important reminder for #StarWarsDay:

There are two Es in Wookiee.

Picard ethics tip: The fact that a conflict has many sides does not imply that every side has merit.

Also I relate to Magneto.

I wish Illinois would just extend the border a handful of miles west, and annex the St Louis area from the rest of Missouri.

Anyone know how to say "Kiss Vance's ass? Over my dead body!" in Italian?

Agreed 100%, it’s so clever and fun. Tons of new stuff, but still feels distinctly Mario

Commander,

I regret that I am unable to report for duty today. My honor has been jeopardized. Dr. Crusher can explain.

“Concerned about falling birth rates” = “white supremacist.” No need to complicate it further! Take the rest of the day off.

Was it Chad?

Autism is not an "epidemic" because it's not a disease. Saying we don't know what "causes" it is absurd. It's genetic and, what's more, NORMAL FOR HUMAN BRAINS TO BE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER.

On this day, 38 years from now:

April 5, 2063- The warp signature of Zefram Cochrane’s vessel The Phoenix was detected on its inaugural flight by a nearby Vulcan vessel, leading to Earth’s First Contact with an extraterrestrial race.

Happy First Contact Day! Well done, Dr. Cochrane!
