Happy 11th of March!
I actually have a coworker who would not bother to say anything because she would be blissfully unaware of the *existence* of the zombies despite the full news coverage. Like, you would say "But we couldn't go, because of the zombies" and she would look at you blankly and say "... sorry? Zombies?"
fuck YEAH

Aw, hell, me please for the amethyst 10.5 - you can put it in the box with the one I ordered yesterday
I've only used Zenni but they've been great
So if the Cabinet floats ... it's a witch!
There's an Amazon Kindle sale on Queen Demon (the sequel to Witch King, 2nd book in the Rising World series) today for 2.99, US and Canada www.amazon.com/Queen-Demon-... #booksky
I have a batch of pita bread dough proofing right now, because somehow it's easier to make my own than put on shoes and get in the car and drive all of 5 minutes to the store ...
brains, amirite?
If no one has claimed yet, me please for the fordite
What colors is the Fordite?
brb, not getting anything done ever again
but yeah, the curse of the "gifted"
I have found that working with kids has made me a lot more willing to be bad at things, but I have to also be careful to remind then (and myself) that nobody gets better by not trying again ...
(Also if the lesson's focus is "drawing circles in various shades" it's a pretty low bar to competence π)
A purple flower (possibly a hyacinth) with green leaves, painted in watercolor. The stem was too dark so I tried to lighten it with water and it looks more like one of the leaves now. I'M LEARNING.
and it's hard to turn off the part of my brain that wants to get everything perfect, because *I don't have the skills for perfect* and fucking around is how I will learn the skills ....
anyway I drew a flower please love me π«Ά
So I got myself one of those miniature watercolor sets (because smol) and got a book about the basics and watched a couple of videos ("10 things I wish I knew before I started" &c) and now I'm just taking a few minutes at a time to fuck around with shapes and varying the amount of water ... +
I had seen something about this being a possibility, interesting findings here.
(Not mentioned in the article, but I only want about half as much coffee as I used to ...)
She actually enjoyed sewing a lot, and she often made special-occasion clothes for me and my sister, but yeah, the yardage of trim on those dresses was mind-boggling.
In HS (1980's), the big thing was Gunne Sax dresses (tons of lace & ribbons & pin-tucks, etc) and the storebought ones didn't go up to my size BUT my mom found sewing patterns and made me a full-length princess dress in white with violets and pansies sprigged all over and I loved it SO MUCH.
Sarah is in her pack stockroom wearing a T-shirt that says plant native plants with a cool goth girls surrounded by plants in a stained
A print leaning on some plants that says please plant native plants or go to hell. The background is purple and the graphic is green blue and white. Thereβs a kitty cat with a hose and a watering can standing on skulls and thereβs flowers with faces
My cousin and her family are staying with me in April so I gotta get this Skype a scientist stock room cleared out!
May I interest you in a native plants t shirt or print? Our shop supports our work here in Philly connecting people with science via art!

Hereβs an easy mnemonic to help you remember the 26 letters of the alphabet

I am waiting for replies to 3 (three) emails and therefore obviously I can do nothing else until one comes through
(please ignore the huge pile of crap I am meant to be sorting out)
On my (short) commute I'm listening to Newbery Honor "The Nine Moons of Han Yu and Luli" and I'm really invested so I'll probably power through that while knitting.
Hey so, in general Iβm a pretty hardened internet user but yβall have GOT to start content warning the Epstein shit. Yes, even βjustβ quotes. Survivors are on these apps, yβall. Moderation tools do not only exist for the potential reader, theyβre there for posters too, and you should use them
Very well put. π
Honestly I've loved all of them. How long does the mane take to do? It looks very fiddly.
Yay!!
... now I want to know what the badger question was. I didn't see a single kid all day and don't feel like I really librarianed at all.
