Good morning! The Shop is going to go down briefly this evening around 10pm Pacific, as I do more things to help make us more stable.

I also expect to be able to upgrade us to the latest version of Mastodon!

Boosts appreciated, I'll also post again once we're closer.

Six years ago today (and a Saturday even), I spent the afternoon, evening, and overnight in the ER trying to determine whether my first migraine was in fact that or a brain bleed

My several attempts to learn the bagpipes ended in abject failure; fortunately, Mini Me is much more musically inclined

If you are new to Mastodon, you might wanna read this article I wrote recently, that illustrates the principles of Mastodon: medium.com/tootsuite/twitter-i

And share it around outside of Mastodon for other people to see 😋

Temperature projects done through February

*sets up tray for project, immediately attracts cat*

My February stitch alongs are done! (I’ve dropped one because I’m unhappy with the design and will adjust later when I have more time)

This is the face of a cat who wants you to know just how much he’s been neglected

Took the Miss to get her retainers; she’s having a major meltdown over having to wear them

The Miss: I DON’T WANT TO WEAR THEM. I WANT MY TEETH NOT MOVE WITHOUT THEM

ME: Well, I cannae change the laws of physics *laughs*

She... didn’t like that 😁

Alright Friends--I wrote a novella!
Okay. That's not exactly right.
I Chuck Tingle'd a novella!
Is that a verb yet?
Anyway... I'm proud-ish to announce:
Hotties and Bazingas and the Murder Cult Murders!

This year’s temperature projects: January

*I had the temps from 2016 for a blanket that got unravelled, thought I may as well do something with them

*same area of completed 2017 for comparison

The greatest lie we've been told as Americans is that we have to sacrifice our happiness for the greater good. And it's pure bullshit.

Never, ever sacrifice your well being and happiness for anyone. The world does not need your suffering to make it better. There is nothing noble about short changing yourself.

The idea of self care is a simple one, but it's revolutionary because are taught to take pride in suffering.

And that's nonsense, man. Be happy. Be fulfilled. Be you.

I’m a little jealous of Mini Me

For , I have 4 official stitch-alongs, and 1 I’m doing as a stitch-along, and here they are with January complete

1-4 are “official”, “unofficial” one in comments
