@bitsy Welp. Completely flummoxed. I disabled all extensions and relaunched bitsy and the game, room, tune, and blip tools are all still missing. They aren't even in the source code.

New blog post: Bangkok, Part 2
Read it here: https://www.mortaine.com/blog/2025/07/18/bangkok-part-2/
We’ve now been in Bangkok for about 2 1/2 weeks. We have not done everything we wanted to do. I’ve had a few commitments during the day that kept us from exploring […]

View of the electrical lines outdoors on a Bangkok street. There are about a hundred individual cables and a rats' nest of cables attached to the utility pole.

Skirt I made last night following this video (https://youtu.be/6xHOnS4fK2c?si=p8CifbKIKaQiOZAe). Top is from a few years ago (I wrote the pattern and published it in my comic book in 2009).

This skirt is soooo comfy!

Post washing/setting of twist. There's about enough here for a short-sleeved sweater or tank top.
Many skeins of fingering-weight handspun yarn in orange, green, brown, and various blends of those colors. Each skein is tagged with its weight and approximate yardage.

I haven't washed/relaxed it yet, but this is some of the results of my #handspinning on a drop spindle. It's mostly wool, with a little bamboo mixed in. Probably a bit of alpaca if I'm being honest. All from my rather too-much stash.
325 grams of brown, green, and orange 2-ply handspun yarn in the little "turtles" that come off of a Turkish spindle. Yarn is approximately fingering weight, but varies somewhat widely. Each turtle is a combination of two strands, so there are balls of all one color, brown-and-orange, orange-and-green, and green-and-brown. The greens vary in shade from light spring green to a solid kelly green. A few balls have variegated yarn as one of the plies, so the color is more mixed, such as a solid brown strand with a strand that blends between green and orange. There are about a dozen turtles of varying sizes shown in the picture.

More #handspinning goodness this week-- a merino/silk (70/30) blend. One 2-oz braid was undyed, the other was dyed with summery colors. I plied them together into this nice pastel-ish 2-play laceweight. The small skein is what was leftover from the dyed single.

I […]

Two hanks, or skeins of yarn, the one on the right considerably smaller than the one on the left. Colors are purples, greens, blues, some pink. The left skein is pastel colored and weighs about 100 grams. The right skein is darker, more vibrant colors and weighs about 8 grams. An unspun braid of dyed fiber of merino and silk. The colors are blues, purples, and pink, with some green.

I finished spinning a skein of yarn today. An art batt with wool and bamboo that I got in a fiber club. 82g/~138 yards, light worsted weight, woolen spun. It's very pretty and has a lot of lustre/sheen to it because of the bamboo.

As the world burns, my wheel turns.

A skein of blue uarn. the yarn is various shades of blue and white all plied together in a 3-ply worsted-weight yarn and twisted into a hanked skein. It is jumbly and soft-looking, and it on a table on which the edge of a couple of notebooks and a scale for weighing the yarn are both visible.

Took a detour from the colorwork Black Sheep sweater to burn up some of my sock weight yarn stash this week. These are queuing up to be donated to the local cat shelter. #knitting, #fiberarts

1.5 oz Punta arenas wool top, undyed, which I got in a fiber club 2 years ago.

Turkish spindle, with ply-on-the-fly chain plying.

Very soft yarn, pretty happy with the results!

A single skein of 1.5 ounce undyed, white 3-ply yarn on a messy desk. Visible on the desk is the corner of Judith Mackenzie McCuin's book The Intentional Spinner. It is unclear if the spinner actually used any of the techniques in this book to improve her spinning.

I dislike this kind of knitting (stranded, with long floats), but I love my niece, so I persist. With every stitch, I remember that I love my niece, because if I didn't, I would frog this and give up. I hope the love infuses the finished project and keeps her warm. #fiberarts #knitting

Finally starting to feel a little better after my 2-week head cold from hell.

Spent a good portion of yesterday and today photographing and cataloguing my handspun fiber stash. This is either fiber I've spun into yarn, or which I own and haven't turned into yarn […]

Petition for a Punk is Dead character sheet that fits A4 or letter sized paper and looks like a band flyer from the 1990's. #punkisdead #ttrpgs
Two hot pink books that are 7" by 7" in size. They have an image of a vinyl record on their covers, a Parental Advisory notice and the records have yellow letter 9 and labels. One is the Punk is Dead rulebook, the other is the Punk is Dead songwriting jornal.

Welcome, new folks from Warhammer!

I'm mostly into ttrpgs, but I do play and paint Nemesis. Here's a recent paint job I finished last week.
A group of miniature monsters of various sizes representing the "Carnomorphs," a type of science fiction alien compromised of bones and red, bloody flesh, including human-looking skulls. They are standing on top of a board game box for the Nemesis board game Carnomorphs expansion. In the background is some household clutter, including some light sabers and a papier maché red-capped mushroom.

My local Gaymers group played The Skeletons by @jmstar today. It was a hit with everyone. I have realized I need to bring more comedic games to this group, because "In life I was into pony play" wasn't quite the vibe I was going for, personally, but it was pretty fun nonetheless.
5 people of varying genders (male and non-binary) seated around a round tabletop with a blue cover. On the table are character sheets and the book for The Skeletons, some markers, and water bottle. They are inside a game library with many shelves of board games surrounding them.
