Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!
Yup. My dad didn't know that his OWN name was John until he was in maybe kindergarten and his parents were like, "Do you want to go by, y'know, the name on your birth certificate?" and he took one look at the other 9 or so Johns in the class and was like, "Nope. I'll keep being Sandy."
But yeah, super common for older people to be like "my dumb bible name is boring as hell, I'm one of 12 Johns in my year, so I've decided that everyone will call me Budd from now on" and people just shrugged and called them Budd and nobody has called them anything else for 50+ years since.

In middle school, I quit out of the junior sorority program that would've ended with a "debutante ball" because I didn't fit in. In college, no sorority wanted me---and although I was embarrassed, it was fine. They weren't my people, and I'd mostly just wanted to know that I'd given the idea a shot.

It has just come to my attention that not everyone went through a teenage obsession with Branwell Bronte phase?

the idea that making art is embarrassing if you don't do it well enough to make a career out of it is an objectively harmful and toxic brainworm.
An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

My favourite grasshopper fact: Grasshoppers first appeared on the planet 250 million years ago.
Grass did not appear on the planet until 40 million years ago
Imagine it: 210 million years, hopping around on any random surface you can find, waiting for the grass that will make you truly yourself.

As I passed some Girl Scouts outside the grocery store yesterday, I heard one of their mothers ask them, "Hey, should I ask AI to make a chant for you guys?"
And they all immediately shouted, "NO!"
The kids are all right. But what the fuck is wrong with the adults???

Okay, look, I wanna say something about this, because I know a lot of people are like "oh look the weird nerds are having a Day" and yes, we are.
But this is not really about 3D printing so much as it is about community.

This stopped me in my tracks because I realized: I don't know. I know WHEN and WHENCE my family came, but I have no idea WHY.
Genuinely curious: If your family is American, what brought them here?

It's taken a year and a half, but we finally finished our kitchen cabinets. Please enjoy a sampling of the cabinet pulls, which are all different and mostly beautiful...with a few funny ones mixed in ^.~

We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!
"In response to criticisms she's heard about the hat being 'performative,' Mashaal, the shop owner, said the thousands of dollars that have gone toward supporting their community speaks for itself."
A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

Hundreds of students at local high schools walked out two days ago in protest of ICE, and I am so proud of them and also so INFURIATED at the adults posting on Nextdoor that the students "have no idea what they're protesting and just want an excuse to get out of school."

It is my utter pleasure to present the cover for my forthcoming sports romantasy novel, FIRE POWER, thanks to the incredible design and illustration talents of Alice Clark and Vic Cavalieri. Get ready for dragons, villains, passion, and danger. Ride or die, baby!

The snowdrops in our garden have all started blooming in the past week or two. Perhaps I'll bring a bouquet inside.
🤍🌱🤍Snowdrops symbolise hope and the promise of Spring. In Herefordshire, bunches would be brought indoors at Candlemas to purify and protect the household - but bringing in a single bloom was said to be unlucky, or even a portent of death.
