Hello, Bluesky!
I’m a fiber artist who uses vintage domestic knitting machines that I restore myself.
I love permaculture gardening and finding ways to make life work for me as I navigate the Unholy Triad of hEDS, POTS, & MCAS.
I never want to stop learning! What’s your fav gardening trick?

Okay, I was tricked into finally trying that Dramoine fic that is the "best" ever and... have these readers ever read actual literature because it is literally a reskin of the Handmaid's Tale.

Based off that price, I'm a super gamer, but in reality I buy games I intend to play and then never actually play because I don't have time.
Here are all 6 segments, if you're interested.
(And Super Gamers spend, on average, $153 on video game products every six months, since I'm seeing some online convo on that).

Quoting a friend:

Tbh the one thing that's giving me hope in what is objectively a really fucking dark time seemingly globally is to find the people who aren't having it"

Finished Pantheon. That was some good, solid, sci-fi with solid characterization. I love anything with transhumanism themes, so the latter focus on what it means to be a human and what the future of humanity lies in spite of prejudice and vice had me enthralled.

#currentlyreading The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri. Been in my TBR for a while. I'm loving the disease that turns people into plants. Sounds painful, looks grotesque, and sad all at the same time.

your blood will boil reading @marisakabas.bsky.social on David Axelrod doing PR for Republicans. They get to go on his show and spew vicious lies, and the rest of us have to wonder what the heck kind of opposition party the Democrats claim to be.
challenge: accepted.

Really excited about the next 3 updates; Magus’ Three Generals!
Lets start with Ozzie! Opulent, full of shit and memorable as all hell. This type of character is a Toriyama staple so I tried to add my own spin while making those giant metal underpants stand out 😎

hey all -- wrote on this neat, snarky poem by Dickinson which combines two very important themes: 1) calling your crush that didn't bother calling back a loser 2) religion. I don't know if my comments made any sense, but i tried, and as we all know now that's enough to be POTUS:
Emily Dickinson, "The power to be true to You" (464)
Dickinson does not inch toward the cosmic.
