Found this graphic novel at the library today and it seems like the right book at the right time. ❤️ #superman #comics #graphicnovel #booksky

See this skirt? I made it!! For a total of $0.
There is a wonderful craft collective where I live, that you can just drop by and get whatever you need for a sewing or other fiber based project, for free. I am about to spend SO MUCH TIME THERE.

If anyone makes fun of my granny bag I will hit them with it.
(Made by me! Fabric is a vintage upholstery fabric picked up at my local craft co op, handles are an old webbed belt. I *love* this bag so much.)

If anyone is curious, I'm still co-running that book club in that discord. We have international members, and our book of the month is Never Whistle at Night! It's sparking some amazing conversations about fears and colonialism. Join us at the Out Of Place Society!

I have a new most hated book!

All I'm saying is that if your wife is deceased, and you show up to a place you KNOW FOR A FACT is inhabited by tentacle horror monsters, maybe don't fuck the one that looks like your dead wife.

Fun fact: One of my random disabilities causes my hair to fall out in handfuls from time to time. No amount of supplements can help.

So I keep a box of scarves from my Orthodox days for that purpose, bc it makes me feel pretty to wear one when my hair decides to jump ship.

Taking a moment to thank the r/suggestmeabook subreddit for enabling me. Outside of The Fisherman, this entire stack came entirely on suggestions from that subreddit.

AFTER A WEEK OF SEARCHING, MY LIBRARY HAS OBTAINED THE UNFINDABLE BOOK FROM ANOTHER LIBRARY! #booksky

Finished objects today! It's amazing what having personal supports allows, even with the disabilities.
