Hey, would you like to buy a cool book I wrote? Do you enjoy queer romance and hate giving money to Amazon? Good news - you can buy the book cheaper on Ingram now.

Hey, yer boy works for the Department of Health on programs entirely funded by federal grants. Your positive energy pointed in my direction would be much appreciated.

This is one of the cutest flirts I have *ever* seen.

Yes, we are the forking coolest couple you know.

Hey, so, preorders on our book are going very well? Which ... thank you, you awesome nerds. I am floored.

I f*ing hate asking for favors, but if you are interested and haven't ordered it yet, check it out? Pre-orders seem to be a big deal.
Hey, you can pre-order The Way We Used to Walk now. I am reliably informed that pre-orders are a big deal for authors.

I am, as always, bad at this. But ... buy the cool book I wrote with Megan R. Engelhardt if you're so inclined. I'm very proud of it.

This is a very good joke and perfectly demonstrative of Dan’s deeply cornball sense of humor.
Seeing a baby wrestling with audacity was super cute though. That's why they call it a DAW.
I have been editing this episode of @the3rdonesucks.bsky.social (ft. the all-timer guest host @kaijuchaos.bsky.social) since the day I was born and I am no closer to finishing it.

Hey, listeners of @the3rdonesucks.bsky.social, this week’s episode is gonna be a day or two late. I’ve spent the week being gross sick, and haven’t been able to get the edit done. Sorry! We’ll have it up soon!

I miss a lot about the days of physical media, but boy howdy, video game instruction manuals with cool art and little bits of lore/world building are really, really high on the list.

Newest leather projects - fingerless gloves and another dragonfly purse.

My sib-in-law saw a hot topic type of cheap vinyl bag based on Calcifer from Howl’s and asked if it might be possible for me to make a similar handmade item for them. Quite proud of this goofy little sucker.

Spring Queen x Fall King outfits for an upcoming event. Pieces in the set we made:

King - pauldron, sporran, circlet crown, moccasins.
Queen - spaulder set, bracers, corset, moccasins.
April 1, 2024 at 10:27 PM
Okay, so we added a corset.
March 3, 2024 at 8:16 PM
Did we spend the afternoon making bark style bracers to go with Holly’s new armor? Why yes, yes we did.
February 25, 2024 at 10:30 PM
Okay, I’m very proud of this one - used a couple of new techniques to make a forest elf gorget and spaulder set. Also, Holly makes an incredible elf. Gosh, she’s regal.

Feeling a bit like this lately, as I sit up in the wee hours of the morning burnishing the edges on a new leather project.

Inhalers have been visual shorthand for “nerd” for as long as I can remember. In my particular case the stereotype does hold up, I suppose, although I was a track letterman in school. Is track the nerdiest of the sports? Maybe. Anyway, cheers, ya nerds. It’s breathing season!

Holly and I are shoemaking today. The leather she wanted to use was a bit thin, so we lined it with a nice purple suede.
