Book cover of Cinder House by Freya Marske

Just finished Cinder House by @freyamarske.bsky.social and I'm blown away by the writing - it is rich with a lush, almost desperate and sensual yearning. Incredible prose that resonated all the way to my floorboards!

I think the best way to recognize Cheney's death is to walk around with a pocket full of bird shot and just throw a handful at every republican you run into.

Has anyone created a trickster god Warlock patron based on @samreich.bsky.social yet or do I have to do it?

NEW EPISODE! Back from hiatus with a book club episode! content-warning-the-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/an-...

A softball-sized ceramic puffer fish sitting on a desk. The fish has closed eyes, a small puckered-lip opening at the mouth, an amber colored back with brown spots, and a white, spiky belly.

Every year I buy one piece from the Senior Art Show that we host in the library. This year I bought this adorable puffer fish that I thought I might be able to use to water plants AND I WAS RIGHT!!! IT'S SO CUTE!

The Geordi from Star Trek meme where he’s against the top thing but is really into the bottom thing. This one says Things he doesn’t like: "Do Not Comply In Advance" bossy already a cliche implies permission to comply later And the stuff he likes says “"Fuck You, Make Me" leads by example directs yelling at opposition instead of allies easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

fuck you make me

"THEY THEM ENER-GY! THEY THEM ENER-GY" Corook was such a joy

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Have some queer joy from #Treefort last weekend

A picture of a white woman's wrist with a green event bracelet that says "TREEFORT MUSIC FEST" and a second bracelet that is made of white beads with black letters that spell out "EAR THE RICH"

Becky made a bunch of custom friendship bracelets, and this is the one she made for me. So proud that this is my brand!

Being in my late 30s means getting Treefort ready also involves going to a Chiropractor 😆💀🙌 #treefort

Also, here is the finished lemoncurd, blueberry bakewell tart. All ready for d&d tonight!

Mole paste done! I'm weirdly sore, but the taste is so complex it's worth it🤤

A video of almost all the ingredients of the mole in process. Some veggie is stock used for blending and then the Mexican chocolate and sugar are added at the end.

Mole update!

Weird aftertaste. Ok, for this use, but I might try a different recipe or flour mix next time.

A view from above of a round loaf of soda bread in a cast iron skillet.

Gluten free soda bread! I should have covered it in foil earlier, but given my purpose, a little extra browning should be alright. #glutenfree

A stout, jovial man with a short black and gray beard is smiling about the new hat he's wearing. He has on a green hoodie with a large yellow logo of Borah Lions. The hat is a knitted trapper style hat, with ear flaps and a front visor flap. It is made of variegated earth-tone colors.

Loving bartering! I made this hat for the pottery teacher, and he's making me a yarn bowl! Commerce can exist without capitalism ❤️

How to add alt text to images on Bluesky (and why you should) Alt text is far more important than you might think, and Bluesky makes it fairly easy for you to add it to images you post.

I wish some of the biggest accounts here on Bluesky would use alt text more. It really doesn't take that much time to do.

Here's a link to a quick explainer.

we keep supporting our disabled friends and family, keep listening to Black and Indigenous poets and activists, keep using our libraries, keep celebrating queerness, keep checking on our neighbors, keep growing food, keep making art, keep resisting. that’s what we do.

My library buds and I were JUST talking about the prevalence of cool sprayed edge books! I was cataloging the new @libbabray.bsky.social - omg what a gorgeous object! So cool to see the modern history of this technology. Thanks for sharing!

**UPDATE** If you are in the Boise area and were planning on seeing me speak at the Pulic Library tonight, all city events have been canceled because of the storm. I'll let you know when we reschedule! Stay safe!

A promotional image with neon green starbusrts showing a new merch design with front and back views of a tshirt and a mug. The front and back views are labeled. The front black tshirt shows a small version of the podcast logo on the left lapel. The back of the shirt shows a minimalist depiction in white of a head hinging open. The eyes are looking up at text that says "stay curious out there." There is also a small, smirking yet sweet smile. Next to the shirts is a white mug with the same hinge-headed design in black. The text on the promo poster is in the areas. At the top, in small font, curved around a starburst that says "new," the text read "Shop all podcast merch on TeePublic - link in bio." The text on the left read, "Available in black or white on shirts, hoodies, stickers, ugs, etc!" The text on the bottom right reads, "Flaunt your love and support the show!"

New merch! Featuring Wally's go-to sign-off! www.teepublic.com/user/content...

Sometimes, I wish I believed in the Christian God because some of these idol-worshipping weirdos are in desperate need of a good old-fashioned smiting. ⚡️
