Might as well pop on my favorite ANoES, Dream Warriors, and have even more fun.

Just when I thought my kid being an adult would mean the end of last-second costume building marathons, she pops up with a cosplay rave and needs me to build a devil tail from scratch.

Ahahahaha. Horns, as well, because the person doing her wig has too many things on her plate.

Let's see how far I can stretch the last of my moldable foam.

"Sara" has worked in Watsonville CAs strawberries for 16 yrs. "I earn piece rate. It's raining which makes the rows slippery and the mud sticks to our shoes. It's dangerous as we still need to work fast to make enough money to pay our bills." #WeFeedYou

In honor of both my upcoming trip to Australia where I’m interviewing a perentie breeder, and my love of pastelgoth aesthetic, I made this lovely Cleopatra collar. Check it out in my shop!

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

This is usually the season where I pick up more hobbies I can do from a blanket fort, but all of my crafting supplies are in chaos so instead I'm at the window watching it rain with a heating pad on high.

R.C. Murphy @rcmurphy.bsky.social · 17h

I don't know how I'm going to get anything done today because my brain has completely reverted to, "There's Weather out there. Why don't you stay inside where it's cozy and nap under a blanket?"

Where I am we'll be 20* below average today. Which is WILD considering if we get weird October weather, it's usually like, "Oh, it's 100*," and not 12 hours of rain.

From the Larchives: "Midnight with the gang" is probably my most popular RHPS take. Certainly the most tees I've ever sold on RB. Enjoy :)

There is a cease fire in Gaza but still no jobs and my friend and brother Mohamed's land lies in the security buffer zone. He cannot go home.
I worry what will become of him and his family as the world looks elsewhere. If you have a couple dollars to share, I would be grateful.

Last night I gave all of my plants a big drink so they wouldn't get jealous over the outside plants getting rain for two days and this is TOTALLY NORMAL and not a sign that I'm under too much stress.
