Welcome new followers! I am Abbaetha. I mostly follow historians, academics, authors and bookish types, crafters, and cooks. My feed is mostly breads, cakes, books, and crafts, which continues the theme. I like a quiet peaceful corner and that’s the goal of this account. No cat, but ferrets.

I made the vital gochujiang cookies today. They are very nice particularly if you like the salty/sweet type of desserts - lots of nice umami and depth, with a real but not overwhelming spicy finish.

I threw out 6 boxes of ancient and pointless files (really, other country I lived in for a while, if you want to audit me you’ve missed your window) and am now self-medicating with lackluster candy. Please clap.
The decluttering persists, but so do I.
The fabric stash is particularly distressing.

Still looking for some of these! We’ve said yes to a couple of pitches, but are looking for around 3-5 more for early next year.
We are primarily looking for historians of ancient, medieval, and non-Western figures.

Call for (post-PhD) historians and cultural scholars for the pod! We have a specific wishlist of scholarship we’re looking to add to the lineup:
- ancient & medieval history
and/or
- histories of anywhere other than the US and UK, preferably outside Europe
Pitches to: podcast@thisguysucked.com

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

I don’t want a smart refrigerator. I will never want a smart refrigerator. Can I just have something that keeps things cold?

Nautical types! How big would an 18-20 ton ship have been in the late 16th century? It was to carry 16 cannons so I imagine big-ish?

Right, this event needs $1500 to happen. There are 600 participating bookstores & for most it’s their busiest sales day of the year, or is second only to Indie Bookstore Day / Small Business Saturday.
Editors/publishers, this is a no-brainer of an opportunity for your imprint. Romancelandia: pls RT

I'm gonna be real-real here: Bookstore Romance Day may not happen in 2026. By this time of year, I've usually secured at least a handful of sponsors & their backing helps pay for things like newsletter services & Canva & Zoom & internet, all of which are needed for planning & off-season events.
