I *just* got home and it is so past my bedtime! We honestly tried our best to “make some noise” multiple times to help things along, but it didn’t work until the 15th

Best I could do on my iPhone when it was nearly dark but this owl was just chilling on a wire across from the house and so I grabbed a couple shots!

Sharing this thread from a queer artist who needs $$$ help, and I figured this image (my fav sticker of theirs) might resonate with folks.

Sticker says: Please give a bitch a break, I work very hard, I’m trying my best, I’m so tired all the goddamn time

What a great episode of @kellysue.bsky.social talking about her love of Alan Alda! Really enjoyable listen, great job @spfanpodcast.bsky.social!

The Superfan Podcast 🎙️ @spfanpodcast.bsky.social · 8d

M*A*S*H wasn’t just a show — it was comfort, catharsis, and a cultural blueprint.

This week on the Superfan Podcast, @kellysue.bsky.social talks about Alan Alda, Hawkeye Pierce’s sensitive swagger, and how comedy can be a delivery system for grief.

This is incredibly sweet.

I unfortunately only really remember the teachers that discouraged me and told me various pursuits of mine (like drawing) were dead end careers that would never go anywhere. *sigh* I sincerely hope there’s more teachers like this out in the world.

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

If I had a dollar for every email I got that said some variation on "I have secret strategies that can help your Kickstarter" I wouldn't even need to do a Kickstarter because I would have so many dollars

I'm very grateful to everyone who took a moment to share this project, it takes a village (especially these days), so I truly appreciate you all!

I enjoy a well-thought-out, rule-based magic system in fiction as much as anyone, BUT I also think that we should give more props to what Terry Pratchett did in the Discworld books, where it was less about rules and more about vibes and, more importantly, what fit a given story the best.
