Hello Bluesky! I am a recovering academic whose ADHD hyperfixation is picking up new historical fiber arts. When I'm not stitching, I'm writing or playing video games.
So, I often buy academic and non-fiction texts, so the ad isn't far off in that regard. But what made them pick these titles, specifically?

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

If I want an Oz comic, I'll just re-read Skottie Young's
Okay yeah, This feels like a mix of AI Slop, Trace Photo Ref, and Actual (mostly rushed) Art, all made to hide the duct tape and glue.
Im kinda mad I backed the Kickstarter, checking that now they REALLLLLLY hid this.
AWA Studios really pocketed 100K in Kickstarter Money and ran with this.

In HS, my friend and I convinced my boyfriend and his best friend to take us on a double date to City of Angels. The guys wisecracked through the whole movie, and in the scene just before the tragedy, one of them makes a semi-truck horn, "bwah bwah!" They're laughing and my friend and I are sobbing.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Is this normal? I know it is in apple cider vinegar, but I didn't know about champagne vinegar. It's unopened, expires in 2028. I bought it for soup.

I grabbed a bag of steamed vegetables out of the microwave this week, saw the corners that said "Hold Here" and my brain started singing "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me." If you're wondering how I'm doing.

Just a reminder, as RFK Jr is now shaming mothers for not breastfeeding, that MAHA is a eugenicist movement. #FedIsBest

On the other hand: Jesus Christ could be making these arguments against the Trump administration and we'd still lose in front of this court.

This scene in BG3 never gets old. "Spiders for the spider queen" is a common refrain in our household.

They have trapped all of us in their drug and sex cult. And we really are ruled by just this - their drug delusions and their sexual predation.

I saw a chronic illness thread a few months ago suggest getting a terrycloth robe to sit in after showers to help with dysautonomia. I ordered the largest men's robe I could find, finally got it washed, and boy is it a game changer.

Somebody heard me. I got an immediate doctor appointment for my kid's ADHD med refill, I got my tickets upgraded to the OK Go concert this week, and I get to sign up for a sewing class. Plus I have cookies. Thanks, universe! 🌌💜
Is there something specifically in the stars that's got it out for me this week?

Two major purchases cancelled on me today because the item I ordered wasn't in stock. Both of the items still up for purchase on the websites. One of them was my kid's major Christmas gift this year. Back to the drawing board. 🤬

Mine is the Lady Stoneheart epilogue in ASOS. He asked why that particular chapter and I said I just wanted to see Cat get her justice. GRRM looked at my spouse and said, "Watch out for this one. You have a vengeful woman on your hands." (Spouse replied that he was well aware.)
The only piece of ASOIAF material I've ever gotten GRRM to sign is my copy of A Feast for Crowd, on the Broken Man speech. That was almost 10 years ago, at Balticon 50.
