Busking juggler/magician/musician & substitute middle school teacher who just wants to be supportive & inclusive

Hello, Bluesky folks! I'm Owen. Amateur magician. Amateur juggler. Professional technician. Lover of poetry, art, nature, sunrises, Muppets, science, comics, and silliness.

I don't know if I will be posting much. And I'll only be following accounts that protect my mental health. No offense.
A friend made me this fox and sent it to me along with this No One is Illegal patch. I've named her Kij after one of my friends who wrote a wonderful book entitled The Fox Woman.

So… is therapy why I haven't become a lovecraftian monstrosity? 🤔
Men will literally become tentacled turpentine-chugging unbeings, call down the wrath of the ancient seas, rape & murder their own subconscious maybe in the middle of the ocean while worshipping a lamp & humping fish-monsters, than go to therapy

In other news I finally saw The Lighthouse last night

Mua ha ha ha HA! 🤪🪄🤹🏽‍♂️🎈🎸

It goes down Sunday night in the EU/UK, or you can watch anytime after the livestream for 48 hours. I just played through the set, and it's a great one.

Woo hoo! 🥳
...and what better time to mention that I am writing a NEW GAME! This uses my Haphazardry game system (as RiverBank did), and it's for Kobold Press again. I will post details and progress on my Patreon, for people who want inside news.

@kijjohnson.bsky.social 's The River Bank has been healing my soul and I think that I'm going to have to reread it annually.

I have found myself in need of comfort reading of late. I just finished rereading The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame & illustrated by David Petersen. And soon I shall read The River Bank by Kij Johnson, illustrated by Kathleen Jennings.

it's got to be weird to have acted in a film -- or, like, been an audio editor or mixer for it -- and find out what you helped create has just been overwritten to appease a government uncomfortable with the content

Touch grass.
Touch bark.
Touch fir needles.
Touch the fallen feather.
Touch the heart-shaped leaves on the unflowering lilac.
Keep going.

The idea that a price could be different based upon a person's search history/acquired data is unpleasant to say the least.

Should "surveillance pricing" be banned?

I needed a comfort book. So I'm rereading The Wind in the Willows. And when I'm done, I'll read Kij Johnson's The River Bank.

Trump is rescinding road safety grants all over the country, in blue states and red ones.

The reason: those projects are "hostile" to cars.
