Spotify is running ICE ads...delete that nonsense ASAP.

I like both. But I tend to eat apple snacks all year round because I love apples.

I do not. I work from home. I think I'm going to freeze them for now. At least I only made half the recipe.

I have a confession. I made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins tonight and I think I'm officially pumpkined out for the season. I do this every year. I eat all the pumpkin things until I'm sick of them, but at least it's also still apple season.

Such an underrated game.

Pro tip: to keep Velcro from coming off foam, sew it to craft foam first, and then hot glue that to your foam. That Velcro ain't going anywhere. #cosplay #foam #costuming

This is the correct response.

If I see one more ad for Fan Duel, I'm going to scream.

My Commander Shepard breastplate and back piece is offically wearable. Velcro on one side. I'm also going to add adjustable straps because it's supposed to have straps, but that will also add some extra security. I'm so proud of myself because the fit is PERFECT.

I did not have "take a shower with a cat" on my 2026 Bingo card, but here we are. My blind orange baby just jumped in the tub with me. Totally unbothered.

Making a template for the back details and where the lighting will go. The notes are to remind me what bottles I used to make the circles. 😂 #cosplay #foamsmith #masseffect #commandershepard #videogames

The fact that I knew exactly what game you're playing from this post. LOL

YES. So many folks are just about sticking it to the liberals and they can't even see beyond that.

I tried, but the grit just wasn't good enough. These little sticks have two grits and are pointed for more precision.

I think that's an orange cat thing. My Anders is the same way.

If anyone even looks at my little goofball strangely, I'm throwing hands.

Working on my armor and wishing I had something that could sand tiny spaces like between seams that need to be defined. So I search for "sanding sticks," and it turns out, they're a thing that exists. Brilliant! The Dremel is too big for what I'm doing.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Oh no. Poor baby! I hope the meds work out for him. He's a handsome fella.

I need to clean up some lines and things, but overall, I'm thrilled with how this is turning out. This stupid breastplate is probably the most difficult part, too! #cosplay #foamsmith #costuming #masseffect #commandershepard #videogames
