Good morning, vegan Italian grinders of Bluesky!
Today's kindness upgrade is some mutual aid and an extra nap. We're all worth it. <3

#3GoodThings
1. Someone to talk to on a bad day
2. Homemade risotto
3. An abundance of good nap spots

Good morning, belligerent cat snuggles of Bluesky.
I'm having a bad brain day today, so my kindness upgrade is taking care of that.

"A tense mystery stuffed with fantastical food and topped with acrobatically deft prose and a big warm hug, I left feeling both thrilled and comforted. This book delivers on every ounce of the promise the title makes and then some.” - Tyler Hayes, author of The Imaginary Corpse

Like @bytylerhayes.bsky.social says, The Infinite Pantry is indeed a hug in book form. A sweet F/NB romance, a big lovable found family, and yes, lots of tea and delicious food.

It comes out April 21. Preorder it now in ebook and paperback: books2read.com/tea-treachery

(but wait there's more)

EU court rules in Bulgarian case: Not allowing change of gender identity is contrary to EU law Legislation of a European Union member state which does not permit the amendment of the gender data of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to freedom of movement is contrary to …

This is huge! The European Court of Justice, the top EU court, has ruled that EU member states must provide a process to change gender markers on identity documents for trans people.

1. Judgment-free space to debug recipes

Mike Chen says "The Imaginary Corpse is inventive, fun, and touching, in the most unexpected way. The world – real and imaginary – needs more triceratops detectives." If that intrigues you, you can buy it right here: tyler-hayes.com/publications

Good morning, overtime goal scorers of Bluesky! Congratulations on making it halfway through the week.
Today’s kindness upgrade is some self-care time and community building over at Ye Olde Queer Game Night. Joy sustains activism, after all. See you on Friday! 🖤🖤🖤

This is a project I've joined and working actively on making items for! Please, if you've got some time and some scrap yarn, we need your help.

1. Finally getting a task that required a notary done and dusted
2. Getting love reacts from my spouse for my ideas
3. Having the windows open for a whole day

Cooking: The plan for this month is slow cooker risotto with baby spinach and zucchini. Inaugural voyage is tomorrow, I'll report back!

~Making Things Log, Week of 9-Mar-2026~
I am elbows-deep in the revision work, which means I am in that curious place where I am terrified of the manuscript, love the manuscript, cannot stop thinking about the manuscript, and want to set fire to the manuscript all at the same time. I love this job.

Good morning, aired-out houses of Bluesky!
Today’s kindness upgrade is some mutual aid. Gotta pace ourselves, and that goes for you too. 🖤

I have to limit my beef intake for medical reasons and so if I decide to have some in the form of a steak I am never going above a 5.

I swear I am! <3 Thank you for taking the time to say something.

~MENTAL HEALTH CHECKPOINT, WEEK OF 9-MAR-2026~
So, Interfriends, it's well-documented at this point that the Daylight Savings Time shift here in the USA is terrible for mental health. This includes mine, which is why this is late and I don't have a story today, but if you post, I'll see it. <3

Good morning, legendary loot drops of Bluesky!
Today's kindness upgrade is thanking my Rep for voting correctly on something, but also yelling at him about a thing I still don't have a response on. Keep it up and stay kind!

Also while I was fighting despair by sorting laundry and watering plants I want to say Happy International Women's Day to the women and especially the women who are in the closet about that

It's your day! Even if it's a secret

Congratulations!!!

1. A local hockey team I feel OK supporting
2. Getting to participate in a Teddy Bear Toss
3. Feeling loved

1. My new favorite sleeveless T (home-desleeved, of course, because I'm metal)
2. New stoner rock bands
3. Peanut butter toast

This is why driving makes me SO anxious that I physically can't do it. The entire enterprise depends on there not being one person on the road who opts out of the group project at the wrong moment.

Information about HR 7661, the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act," which is actually a national level book ban targeting any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism," which means any book about being trans or with trans characters. The list of reps given in the skeet are shown, and talking points for the call are: It is egregiously unconstitutional, targets ideas based on ideological disapproval, and misleads parents and the public about the content of children's books. It does nothing to protect kids and will likely harm education. It will tie school material funding into knots and hurt anyone who is a library materials vendor, regardless of content. Also, if you are a bookseller, librarian, or author, tell them your livelihood depends on the next generation of readers.

An action request from me and @authorsabb.bsky.social: Some info for folks about HR 7661, the national book ban wrapped in the guise of protecting kids. Reps sponsoring the bill and who EXTRA need their constituents to yell at them are in the image and the reply to this skeet.
