One that I remember that nobody else seems to know was Iris, the Happy Professor. The theme song slapped even if the puppets were a little uncanny
A muppet-esque puppet of a bird with a purple head and a large orange beak. His eyes have green irises. He is wearing a large white bow tie printed with music notes and a red and white checkered long sleeve shirt

I also got this 90s chapbook of queer erotic sci-fi because how could I not?
A pink chapbook entitled “Queer Destinies: A Chapbook of Erotic Science Fiction” by Gary Bowen. The cover depicts a monochrome illustration of a naked humanoid male on the surface of a planet with a celestial body behind his head. His hands are strategically drawn to cover his genital area.

Thrift haul from today! The puzzle seems to be complete which is awesome. The Tamagotchi is one from 2017 and needs a new battery but it was a fun find.
A box for a "Mystic Series Two Sided Jigsaw Puzzle” featuring artwork of a winged unicorn facing off against a stylized black dragon in front of a castle with lightning in the background. The artwork is titled “The Sentry” and is by Roy L. McGinnis. On top of the box is a purple, pink and blue Tamagotchi with three bright pink buttons along the bottom. Underneath the box is a skein of yarn in pastel colours of pink, purple, yellow, green, blue and white.

Whoever at Lays designed the packaging for these chips did an incredible job. I haven’t tried them yet (although the flavour seems like something I would enjoy) but the packaging alone had me intrigued.
A bag of limited edition Lay's Poppin' Sweet Lime & Sea Salt chips. They are branded as “Laysfest” along the top and feature a blue sky with clouds in the background with darker teal skyscraper buildings in front of it. In the foreground is a green, teal, blue, and white disco ball with the Lays logo in the centre. On the top left of the ball is a lime and on the bottom right, there is an enlarged image of the chips. Underneath the disco ball are piano keys in green and black

Anyone else playing Balatro? I just played a hand that went over $1 million in chips and I don’t even remember what I played 😅
A screenshot from the game Balatro. On the left hand side, there is a side bar with information which indicates that the round score was 1,249,986 in poker chips.

First crochet project of 2025 is this sleepy Kirby! The pattern I used is from purply studio on Instagram. My boyfriend suggested I do the multiplayer colours for Kirby as well so those will be coming next
A small crocheted version of the video game character Kirby. He is round and made of light pink yarn. Two small round arms in the same colour yarn are splayed in front of him. Behind, a foot made of red yarn can be seen. His eyes are made of black yarn and are two small horizontal lines to give the appearance that Kirby is sleeping.

Hey Bluesky! It’s been a little while. Just wanted to share this awesome sweater I thrifted the other day
An image of a woman with long, dark blonde hair wearing a bright pink sweater with long sleeves. She is taking the photo in a bathroom mirror so she is holding her phone in the image.

If you see this, post something green
A very wide and flat frog shaped heating pad. The frog is green and simplistic with two large black dot eyes and a simple smiling mouth. It has two short arms on either side of its body.

(2/2) Here's the other portion of my collection. The Spacewreck book behind the picture of me and Gates McFadden isn't technically a Star Trek book but it is very much sci-fi and is really cool.
A collection of Star Trek related items including three glasses featuring Captain James T. Kirk, Spock and Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy from Star Trek: The Original Series, a collection of both hardcover collections and magazine-style printings of Star Trek comics, and a few Star Trek reference books. A collection of paperback Star Trek novels that are from Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Others do not apply to a single series or are set after the show continuities. A LCARS style display podium with a large hardcover book entitled "Federation: The First 150 Years". Behind this is a picture of myself with Gates McFadden taken at a convention and a large hardcover book called "Spacewreck"

I've been seeing a lot of people sharing their collections so I wanted to show off my Star Trek collection! I’ve been collecting this since I got into Trek back in 2019 and a lot of it is thrifted.

I think you can guess who my favourite character is 😂 (1/2)

Reskeet with a favourite book from your childhood
The cover of the children's picture book A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon. The cover features an illustration of a girl in a bed. There are white pillows with small pink dots behind her and she is covered from the stomach down by a pink blanket. Her hair is black and noticably curly. She has a pink bow in her hair on the right side. The girl’s skin is noticeably striped in rainbow colours (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple) but they do not follow the traditional rainbow pattern. She is wearing a white tank top with a frilled detail on the edges of the collar and the straps. In her hands, she is holding a blue cup with a straw. She has a thermometer sticking out of mouth. The name of the book and the author's name are printed over top of the illustration in the middle of the cover.

If you see this, post a vampire
An image of Drusilla from the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is a young woman with dark brown hair and a pale complexion. She is wearing a black dress with partially see-through long black sleeves that are puffed out at the shoulders. Her left arm is out at an angle and her right arm is propped up on top of her left hand. Her right hand is in front of her face, causing a veil effect with the dress sleeve and covering her face from the bottom of her nose down. On her left hand, her long nails are painted red.

The last time I went to the movies, I saw a Peach in one of these. They’re too powerful for us I guess.

She is a cartoon style human woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She is wearing round blue earrings and a pink ballgown style dress with short puffy sleeves and a blue jewel in the centre of her chest.

I finally finished a project I’ve been working on for awhile. I’ve been crocheting a Cacodemon for my boyfriend for his birthday since he loves Doom. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

The pattern was purchased from Crafty Tibbles over on Etsy www.etsy.com/ca/listing/9...
A crocheted version of a Cacodemon from the video game Doom. It is round and mostly red, with 6 white horns on its head and one green eye. It has a blue inner mouth and two large lower fangs with a set of lower teeth.
