Desert Bus for Hope 🚌 Nov 14th 3PM PST @desertbus.org · 4d

We're 18 days (!) away from the start of our 19th run. Why not spend the next week with us welcoming the volunteers working in front and behind the cameras to keep our show running? Each shift runs 6 hours, features beloved segments, and might just have a few additional surprises or cross-overs.

Ok y’all. We’re two weeks from @desertbus.org and one week from donations opening and I’ve got nothing for this years “James Challenges Chat”.

I’m open to any and all suggestions. But please keep them in the realm of reality :)

Rise and shine each morning at 6am with the refreshing and vibrant Dawn Guard crew! Rustle up your most robust coffee roasts and finest fashions, then add in a dash of daily gameshows for the perfect mix of overcaffeinated chaos to guide you through to lunchtime.

Few dare to pilot the Zeta Shift, starting at the stroke of midnight and running all the way to 6am. The Zetaful Eight ride again, bringing chill conversation, high stakes brick assembly, and musical interludes. If you're a night owl or on the other side of the world, they've got your back.

Night Watch hits the scene each evening starting at 6pm and running up until midnight. Previous editions have been full of arts and crafts, auspicious adventures, and Beyblade. Who knows what they'll get up to this year, but we'll all find out starting on November 14th!

Technically kicking off the show (since we start at 3pm), and then occurring from Noon-6pm daily is Alpha Flight! With familiar faces shuffling into the shift, it's hard to pin down what they'll be up to this year, but we're sure it'll be fascinating.

This is framed and heading off to @desertbus.org for this year's #db2025 run! I am hoping that fans can celebrate a beloved Sega mascot's 30th anniversary, as is tradition!

IT IS FINISHED!!

My Frieren Mirrored Lotus tea set is done!

If you're interested in grabbing this, please watch for the auction during this year's @desertbus.org . I'm always so excited to push my skills every year for this event, and this tea set absolutely did that for me.

In a field trip separate from the MRI Simulator, Andrew, Johnny, Joe, and Graham took a tour of the Deeley Research Center at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria. They were invited by Dr. Julian Smazynski, along with William Lichtfield from the BC Cancer Foundation.

Designed and built by Camosun College students, this machine will alleviate the anxiety associated with having to get scanned by allowing children to experience the procedure in a lower stress environment.

Andrew, Erika, and Travis (from @childsplaycharity.bsky.social) were on hand for the unveiling of a new MRI Simulator at Victoria General Hospital last month! Thank you so much for your support of Child's Play Charity which enables advancements in hospital tech both worldwide and in our own town.

Hey Warriors of Light! I have made a full set of Elpis robes for @desertbus.org ‘s Craft a Long. I asked Yoshi P to sign the mask for it (original 3D model by @dangerousladies.ca ) so keep your eye out for it :)

My friend Silver, myself, and Yoshi P holding up the signed Elpis mask

The front of the mask (this was before it was painted completely) it is all white and 3D printed.

Entering the home stretch for my #dbcraftalong #db2025 cross-stitch. I only have the main character left, so I’m hoping it’s less than 50 hours from being complete!

Spent the week working on my lightbox craft-along for #desertbusforhope by @desertbus.org. Really happy with how it came out so far, I wanted to make sure I made something special and different from the stuff on my store since the bus is so important to me.
