We have some fun Halloween themed patterns you can collect in Tile Farm Harvest this week. Here is one built in Tile Farm Studio by a 2nd grader from Albuquerque, NM. It’s a beautiful design, but also has a lot of underlying math in it.

I’m taking the Amtrak to ATL next week and it’s my first time on a train. 😁
Any advice from folks who have done this before?

Hi.
1) Apparently my state is out of Bluesky jail. 👀

2) My name is going to change here soon 😬 and I wanted to give my friends a heads up because it will be completely different 👀🫣

3) Please don’t panic/worry - I am the happiest I have ever been. 🫶

But changes are coming 💛
