Yarn on the bobbin of an electric spinning wheel.  The yarn is marled in shades of blue and green, blending together for a purple effect in some spots.

My current spinning project is @fossilfibers.bsky.social in the colorway Mirkwood Spiders, spinning for a sweater project. I'm very happy with how the singles are turning out!

Spun on my fabulous @daedalusspinners.bsky.social Magpie.

Neil Gaiman is crawling out of his bog two years after sexual assault allegations to play the sweet old fantasy uncle again -- complete with name-dropping that book you like & his twee "make good art" catchphrase -- all in order to (of course) sell you his upcoming book. Don't you dare fall for it.

I made this ASL video about the SALUTE/ACTUAR acronyms re: observing ICE, but @bsky.app won't let me post here because, best I can tell, hands are moving too much? Anyway, if you have a moment to share, many d/hh folks have 1st lang that's not English.

A text screenshot of an orange cat sitting next to 2 knocked over food bowls, and a bunch of towels next to a cat water fountain.  The text with the photo says "first he makes a lake, then he I think fails a dex roll for eating food?  Orange cat itis."  Lia responds with "wow"

If you feel like you're having a chaotic day, consider my orange cat Rumble, who first scooped enough water out of the fountain to make a small lake, and then managed to knock over two food bowls.

A view from out of a car window, of rolling green hills.  The far hill is dotted by small, distant houses.

Speaking from the Accessibility side, it is literally a net negative to be critical of a game. Developers will either argue with you or even blacklist you, and other disabled people will argue because your experience doesn't match theirs.

alt text is important for accessibility and my plea for people who don't personally need it - aside from it being the right thing to do - is, well, you'd actually benefit from it more than you think

how many times have you seen someone quote something with a character you don't recognize? alt text!

Folks, you don’t have to watch the video. It’s horrifying, vicarious trauma is real and traumatizing yourself will not help this person or anyone. If you watched already, drinking a glass of water to help flush adrenaline and dunking your face in a cold bowl of water can help.

I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.

My partner and I have been feeding a stray cat, who we nicknamed Charals (because he's at the window). Shimmy has developed a massive crush on Charals, and toots at him from the other side of the window every night. Shimmy is *distraught* when Charals eats and leaves.

Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

As a kid I'd read Warhammer stories where they tried to explain Nurgle Cultists, people who give themselves over to the plague god. In those stories, set in a grimdark medieval fantasy, they just lean into the disease, embracing it as inevitable and then fueling horror and monstrosity. Ah, fiction.
