Shiny things, get your shiny things, new up last night!

oishiny.etsy.com

3 labradorite pendants, just listed. And I am shipping to the US again.

(Am exploring my options slowly - I haven't raised prices yet but am likely to need to in the near future.)

Not a bit ashamed of himelf that the entire of Bluesky is following whether he's peed or not.

Shawn, get your act together! (I hope everything clears up and he's better soon.)

I have been considering an "Actually yes I *am* a unicorn, thank you for asking" t-shirt, and I haven't had half your troubles.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

🐉✨ Collaboration time!
I’m so excited to share that Sarah from @greyowlknits.bsky.social has created a stunning new pattern the Draco Manus Mittens using my yarns Louverture’s Sapphire & Dragon’s Pale Gold. Get your hands on her new pattern & also enjoy 15% all my yarns this weekend! 🧶

A collage announcing a knitting collaboration inspired by a medieval dragon. In the top left, a blue and gold dragon curls beside Gothic script from a 15th-century manuscript (Harley MS 1662). To the right, two skeins of yarn — one cream, one vivid sapphire blue — are shown with fern and pearl accents. Below, a pair of colorwork mittens display the dragon motif in blue and cream against a rustic wooden background. Center text reads “NEW COLLAB ALERT!” with a small green dragon icon. Additional images show close-ups of the yarn and the finished mittens, whose intricate patterns mirror the medieval illumination.

Looking for a little magic? I'm slowly adding more labradorite pendants, and US shipping is open once more - it may be slower than usual, but nothing has changed on your side (the tariff stuff all gets sorted at my post office).

Another really bad day of the brainfog. Current level: Struggled to divide 37 stitches roughly even over 4 needles (the answer is three 9s and a 10).

Wirework on hold so I don't stab something.

Yeah - shorter bat, slightly different layout, but similar concept of "hit ball then run like hell around the bases and hope you get there before someone gets the ball back".

I loved rounders back in school. I was ambidextrous so I just waited until they set up the field, then switched hands. And I'm told at most other schools did they not carry the bats and hit the posts, but we did and I was known for not bluffing, so.

...and I just hope you all had a nice time.

(Same as rugby. I looked in on rugby and went "Well I understand we're winning, but not by how much or if it's catch-up able.". I mostly played football and basketball.)

I have a strong belief that back in the day I could have been great at baseball - I was fantastic at rounders and it's basically the same skill.

But I've never *actually* played it. So I come back to my TL going "Well that's an eagle on 3rd down in Cario, he's going to need a double skiffy now"

Several people I follow are following Jennbudd. There are enough real women being kidnapped by ICE without having to fake it for attention.

(So many people saying "It's no big deal, it's obvious" except there are people falling for it.)

Genuine question: does Lecornu now count as a two-term prime minister? Or is it still one term, just one with a… reading week?

In the 90's, there was one random Anne Rice or Dean Koontz within 3 meters of you, no matter where you were. They were what you had nearby to read, so you read em.
