I need more time in my day. I need a *lot* of orders in a very short space of time, but I don't actually have that much stock, which... takes time to make. Can't sell what's not there.

I'm not getting on with these meds, the doctors just want more and more tests, and I'm so very tired.

Kobo and Apple users, make sure you give yourself the gift of SURPRISE HOSTILE YEARNING IN YOUR EREADER in a few months (coming elsewhere on release; eARCs to those owed them probably in March sometime).

Hello, I don’t mention this a lot bc I forget, but I do have a Patreon where you can get all my designs and a license to sell, and this week I’ll be posting a new design every day (to make up for the forgetting lol), starting with the whole School Supply collection! 🎨

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights
A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..." More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!" A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

The eBook portion of this sale is good for one more day although I *think* the Apple start-a-series sale starts just afterward and I intend to extend SS's $1.99 price point during that one as well (all regions). Still, a great time to start binge-reading! At least Livi can punch her problems.

Watching ep 3 of #GameOfWool and honestly, this is just cruelty to crafters. The reason I stopped watching GBBO is because it started to feel mean and artificially tense.

This is too much work in not enough time, with weird needle/yarn sizes people are not used to working with.

It's very simple, Silver Springs is a perfectly good song for the first three minutes and fifteen seconds, and then follows that with a contender for the best minute and a half in pop music history

Silver Springs has been following me around. But I'm trying to think what the last 1/3 reminds me of.

(I don't expect you to guess but if you have recs that sound like the "Time cast a spell on you..." I'm all ears.)

Archbishop Broglio is, to put it extremely mildly, not generally viewed as one of the more liberal of the American bishops.
kschake.bsky.social Kori Schake @kschake.bsky.social · 1d
It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”
Military archbishop: Troops could refuse orders on Greenland
Speaking to Britain's Sunday program on BBC, Archbishop Timothy Broglio reiterated that conscience could permit refusal of an unjust military order.
