This was not a rational expectation, but I'm also very glad that in the early 90s I already had such high expectations for SFF and never backed down on them. I read a lot of great books about girls with swords and animal friends!

I'll always be MEH the LotR books because someone handed them to me when I was 12 and wanted another fantasy book, but to me fantasy books were about girls with swords and talking horses.
The betrayal I felt at there being no girls in the first 100 pages. I never recovered. π
however I have gotten a ton done today! I made a simple syrup to mix with the 2lbs of lemons I juiced so now I have delicious lemonade. I picked all the meat off 3 chickens so we can do taquitos tomorrow. and I've prepped a bunch of PLUMS so I can puree & freeze dry them for PLUM SMOOTHIE POWDER
I don't know if it's just my general mounting surgery anxiety or how hard I'm trying to Do All the Things before it happens, but I'm so fucking clumsy right now.
I have cuts on 3 fingers and the heel of my hand now, I'm actually going to run out of bandaids. LOL
Itβs day 95 of the ICE occupation of MN.
This weekend, Minneapolis is waiting to see if Jacob Frey will sign the Pause Evictions, Save Lives policy passed by the City Council.
The mutual aid fundraising has been enormous, but the needs continue, even as donations have slowed.
Call the mayor!

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon
At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me
I went to the prep school attached to St. John's University and for like a month in 1997 I decided I should just wear all black + a pink beret. just for funsies. at that point everyone was like "well Bree's at it again oh well"

no question about it, this was me at my most terrifying and awesome

the back of my little ink design showing two hexagons
there are hexagons on the back of each unit that you just kind of hook in there. the hexagons are designed to have more space at the back so once you get them worked in they mostly lock.
my white honeycomb storage wall (which is just white hexes attached to the wall, like pegboard but... hexagons) and a little pink cup/stand sized perfectly to hold the ink but also show it off. the pink is the same color as my wall!
OKAY I designed a little holder for the honeycomb storage wall to fit the iroshizuku inks and my little test print is perfect! I have an empty bit of wall to the left of my desk, it feels like it should become The Ink Wall.
I'm blaming y'all.

Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:
1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.
2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.
Find your senators at reps.fyi
What the actual fuck?
I'm so glad we could get them to you, and let us know if you need more!!! (also I love looking at all of them there, I can see different Whistle Goblin's favorite whistles! LOL)
awww, I'm so glad! they are painfully cute and I spread hundreds out on my desk to try to put 10 different ones in each egg! LOL
repost to save a life

a close up of 6 or 7 turtles tumbling out of an egg. these are so small they could balance on your fingertip, and each is a different wild combination of colors! there are pastels, shiny rainbows, deep blues and bright greens.
a shot from above showing 6 different eggs. every egg is totally random colors in funny stripes, since we have them printed with filament that otherwise would have been wasted during color changes
a little stack of 10 turtles on top of each other!
three different eggs. One is purples and black stripes, one is bright oranges and rainbows, one is bright bright pink mixed in with teal & purple stripes
This one is a Blue Sky Special. Everyone keeps asking us if they can just buy the tiny freebie turtles (or multiple of the tiny freebie turtles) so now you can buy a Tiny Turtle Army in mystery colors! They all hatch from a cute randomly colored egg!

I can't add to my scheduled thread but it's been A MINUTE since we had a Mystery Misprint box, but I'M BACK! Only one thing in here is actually a misprint, the rest is just Stuff That Is The Wrong Color/Seasonal!
These tend to go fast!

I want to shake them all because WHY ARE WE LETTING THEM MOVE THE BATTLE TO THIS WEIRD LUMPY FIELD????
Who fucking cares???? NAZI??? TATTOO?????
I have been discussing this with my mom a lot and I think the real divide here isn't generational or class: it's who has been both online & marginalized enough to know the red flags in an edgelord's reddit comments.
like the minute I saw the full posts, I knew there was more out there. I KNEW.
he could have ridden how desperately we want to forgive white men to a fuckin' presidential nomination, man, if he was smart enough.
I just have to assume he's not smart enough.
there was a very clear & cynical path through this where he said "wow, I get why this makes it harder to trust me, and this moment is too important for me to be a distraction. come to my tattoo cover-up fundraiser for New Guy" and he would have been forgiven instantly & bulletproof in 2028
this was fucking amazing btw, I'm 10000% all in.
I LOVE ITTTTT
Listen I've been trying to ignore this because it makes me sad that so many shitty men destroyed even my nostalgia, but for the love of God.
Absolutely fuck this.
Are you fucking kidding me??
